Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangement of cis-1,2-divinylcyclopropane: an ab initio study

2003-09-30
Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangements of cis-1,2-divinylcyclopropane, obtained by RHF/6-31G* and MP2(full)/6-31G*//RHF/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis-, cis,trans- and trans,trans-1,4-cycloheptadienes, respectively. cis- 1,2-Divinylcyclopropane rearranges via an endo-boatlike transition structure and yields the corresponding cis,cis product with higher exothermicity. Formation of severely strained cis,trans- and trans,trans- 1,4-cycloheptadienes from this rearrangement is also discussed.

Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangement of cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane: an ab initio study
Zora, Metin; Özkan, İlker (2003-05-05)
Transition structures and energetics for the Cope rearrangements of cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane, obtained by RHF/6-31G* and MP2(full)/6-31G*//RHF/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis-, cis,trans- and trans,trans- 1,5-cyclooctadienes, respectively. cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane rearranges via an endo-boatlike transition structure and yields the corresponding cis,cis product with higher exo...
Synthesis of fused tetrazolone derivatives
Ozcan, Sevil; Ekmekci, Zeynep; Mujde, Berk; Balcı, Metin (2013-01-01)
New fused tetrazolone derivatives were synthesized using homophthalic and maleic anhydrides. Treatment of anhydrides with trimethylsilyl azide opened the lactone rings and formed the corresponding intermediates, which bore 1,3-dipole and dipolarophile functionalities in ortho positions. The intermediates partially underwent internal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to produce fused tetrazolone derivatives. When the carbonyl groups in anhydride were not conjugated with any double bond, then a triazine-fused tetrazo...
The di-pi-methane photorearrangement of 2,3-disubstituted benzobarrelenes and benzonorbornadiene - Substituent effects in regioselectivity
Altundas, R; Dastan, A; Unaldi, NS; Guven, K; Uzun, O; Balcı, Metin (2002-02-01)
2,3-Disubstituted benzobarrelene and benzonorbornadiene derivatives 16, 17, and 18, containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, have been synthesized and subjected to triplet-sensitized photoisomerization. Methyl 3-methyl-2-benzobarrelenecarboxylate (16) gave two di-pi-methane rearrangement products. However, methyl 3-cyano-2-benzobarrelenecarboxyidte (17) underwent an intramolecular [2(pi) + 2(pi)] cycloaddition reaction, whilst methyl 3cyano-2-benzonorbornadienecarboxylate (18) for...
Immobilization of catalase in poly(isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) thermally reversible hydrogels
Arica, MY; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Oktem, Z; Tuncel, SA (1999-09-01)
Catalase was entrapped in thermally reversible poly (isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate) (pNIPAM/HEMA) copolymer hydrogels. The thermoresponsive hydrogels, in cylindIl-rical geometry, were prepared in an aqueous buffer by redox polymerization. It was observed that upon entrapment, the activity retention of catalase was decreased between 47 and 14%, and that increasing the catalase loading of hydrogel adversely affected the activity. The kinetic behaviour of the entrapped enzyme was investigate...
Synthesis of a New 2,3-Diaminoconduritol with Conduritol F Structure
Ekmekci, Zeynep; Balcı, Metin (2012-09-01)
A new 2,3-diaminoconduritol derivative with the conduritol F structure was prepared starting from cyclohexa-1,4-diene. Initially, a lactam, prepared by the cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) to cyclohexa-1,4-diene, was converted into an amino acid. The conversion of the acid functionality into an isocyanate resulted in the formation of an imidazolidinone derivative, formed by an intramolecular cyclization. In the second part of this work, the known anhydride, 3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisobenzofuran-...
