Organocatalysis is an emerging and new field towards the direction of asymmetric synthesis and has shown a tremendous growth in 21st century. As the demand for chiral pharmaceuticals and chiral organic molecules is increasing immensely, different types of organocatalysts have been developed and used from time to time. The cinchona alkaloids and amino acid proline were the first organocatalysts used in this area followed by incredible growth in the form of urea/thiourea, DMAP, proline derivatives, squaramides, peptides, etc. The squaramide based organocatalysts are gaining impetus for asymmetric transformations and have shown remarkably good results in diverse type of reactions, wherein they usually act as linkers between two privileged skeletons. Due to its unique structural feature and wide application, squaramide holds a prominent and great potential in asymmetric synthesis. The present mini- review will briefly cover the squaramide based organocatalysts and the examples of organic reactions catalyzed by them.

Squaramide catalyzed alpha-chiral amine synthesis Karahan, SEDA; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2018-10-17) Enantiomerically pure alpha-chiral amines, have been commonly utilized as resolving agents and chiral auxiliaries and are currently found in 40% of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Hence, development of highly stereoselective metal-free protocols regarding atom-economy and large-scale applications becomes a major issue. In this respect, chiral bifunctional H-bonding squaramides have been successfully applied for both amine synthesis and functionalization of amines in the last decade. This survey summarize...
Enantioselective sulfa-michael addition to trans-chalcone derivatives with quinine derived bifunctional organocatalysts Tözendemir, Deniz; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2020-12-28) The use of organocatalysts has brought profound advantages in the context of asymmetric synthesis, in terms of ease of use and better compatibility with the environment. More than 20 organocatalysts of four different classes (squaramide, urea, thiourea, and sulfonamide) have been developed and used to catalyze various asymmetric reactions in our research group. In this thesis, asymmetric sulfa-Michael type additions were carried out in the presence of cinchona alkaloid derived squaramide and sulfonamide-typ...
Biodegradable nanomats produced by electrospinning: Expanding multifunctionality and potential for tissue engineering Ashammakhi, N.; Ndreu, A.; Piras, A. M.; Nikkola, L.; Sindelar, T.; Ylikauppila, H.; Harlin, A.; Gomes, M. E.; Neves, N. M.; Chiellini, E.; Chiellini, F.; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Redl, H.; Reis, R. L. (2007-03-01) With increasing interest in nanotechnology, development of nanofibers (n-fibers) by using the technique of electrospinning is gaining new momentum. Among important potential applications of n-fiber-based structures, scaffolds for tissue-engineering represent an advancing front. Nanoscaffolds (n-scaffolds) are closer to natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and its nanoscale fibrous structure. Although the technique of electrospinning is relatively old, various improvements have been made in the last decades to...
Synthesis of novel chiral thiourea derivatives and their applications, synthesis of some hdac inhibitors, addition of acyl phosphonates to ethylcyanoformate Sağlam, Gülüzar; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2008) The thiourea derivatives have become a main focus of research in asymmetric synthesis as an organocatalyst in recent years. In the first part, the thiourea catalysts are synthesized starting from easily available L-tartaric acid and application of the catalysts to some addition reactions showed no significant asymmetric induction. A number of HDAC inhibitors have been developed as anti-cancer agent at the present time.In the second part, some aryl butenoic acid derivatives are synthesized as HDAC inhibitors...
Autocrine TGF-beta and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) signaling drives the evolution of tumor-promoting mammary stromal myofibroblasts Kojima, Yasushi; Acar, Ahmet; Eaton, Elinor Ng; Mellody, Kieran T.; Scheel, Christina; Ben-Porath, Ittai; Onder, Tamer T.; Wang, Zhigang C.; Richardson, Andrea L.; Weinberg, Robert A.; Orimo, Akira (2010-11-01) Much interest is currently focused on the emerging role of tumor-stroma interactions essential for supporting tumor progression. Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), frequently present in the stroma of human breast carcinomas, include a large number of myofibroblasts, a hallmark of activated fibroblasts. These fibroblasts have an ability to substantially promote tumorigenesis. However, the precise cellular origins of CAFs and the molecular mechanisms by which these cells evolve into tumor-promoting myof...
