The successful development of planar-chiral bis-silanols 3a-d and their application as asymmetric organocatalysts in hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions is described. All precursors were easily prepared by addition of commerically available silyl electrophiles to a dilithiated [2.2]paracyclophane derivative followed by silane oxidations. The analogous bis-carbinols 7a-c have been prepared by addition of suitable Grignard reagents to bis-methoxycarbonyl derivative 6. Both racemic as well as enantiopure planar-chiral bis-silanols and bis-carbinols were obtained in good yields. The catalytic activities of the bis-silanols were analyzed by monitoring HDA reactions between Rawal's diene and aldehydes by in situ IR spectroscopy and comparing the resulting data with those obtained in catalyses with the corresponding bis-carbinol derivatives. The results show for the first time that planar-chiral bis-silanols with hydrogen-bonding capabilities can be applied as asymmetric organocatalysts leading to enantiomerically enriched products.

Enantioselective aza-Henry reaction of t-Boc protected imines and nitroalkanes with bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts
Susam, Zeynep Dilşad; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2017-05-07)
An organocatalytic asymmetric aza-Henry reaction of t-Boc protected imines with nitroalkanes has been established by chiral acid-base type bifunctional Cinchona alkaloid/squaramide organocatalysts. The cooperation of a quinine motif as a base and sterically encumbered squaramide (H-bond donor) enabled mostly complete conversion of a range of reactants into the corresponding aza-Henry products at room temperature with good selectivities (up to 91% ee with 10 mol% catalyst loading).
Enantioselective aza-Henry reaction of t-boc protected imines and nitroalkanes with bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts
Susam, Dilşad; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2015)
The first part of this thesis comprises the application of a Cinchona alkaloid derived, bifunctional squaramide organocatalyst in the aza-Henry reaction of t-Boc protected imines and nitroalkanes. The target chiral β-nitroamines are chosen because; they are quite feasible for the corresponding α-amino acids and 1,2-diamines, which are basic structural motif in many natural products and key materials of the many pharmaceuticals. In this part, 12 different chiral β-nitroamine derivatives were synthesized with...
Asymmetric synthesis of N-aryl substituted chiral 1,4-aminoalcohol derivatives and applications in various asymmetric transformation reactions
Odabaş, Serhat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2007)
The asymmetric synthesis of N-aryl substituted chiral 1,4-aminoalcohols and their applications in asymmetric borane reduction and enantioselective diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde reactions were performed starting from meso-anhydride 51 that is the cycloadduct of cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride. The desymmetrization of meso-anhydride 51 was achieved by using quinine or quinidine with very high enantiomeric excess value (up to 98% ee) and with high chemical yield. The quinine-mediated desymmetrizati...
Peptide stapling by late-stage Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling
Gruss, Hendrik; Feiner, Rebecca C.; Mseya, Ridhiwan; Schroeder, David C.; Jewginski, Michat; Mueller, Kristian M.; Latajka, Rafat; Marıon, Antoıne; Sewald, Norbert (2022-01-01)
The development of peptide stapling techniques to stabilise alpha-helical secondary structure motifs of peptides led to the design of modulators of protein-protein interactions, which had been considered undruggable for a long time. We disclose a novel approach towards peptide stapling utilising macrocyclisation by late-stage Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of bromotryptophan-containing peptides of the catenin-binding domain of axin. Optimisation of the linker length in order to find a compromise between both...
Asymmetric synthesis of norbornene based 1,4-Aminoalcohol derivatives and applications in asymmetric diethylzinc reactions
Erdem, Mine; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2007)
The asymmetric synthesis of chiral norbornene based 1,4-aminoalcohols and their applications in asymmetric diethylzinc addition reactions was perfomed starting from meso-anhydride 50. The desymmetrization of this meso-anhydride 50 was done by the usage of quinine or quinidine cinchona alkaloids with very high enantiomeric excess values (up to 98% ee) and chemical yields. The Quinidine-mediated desymmetrization of meso-anhydride 50 with methanol gave (2R,3S)-(+)-cis-monoester 51. The amination of this result...
