Herein, an illustrative example to synthesize chiral naphthoxazepine precursors via the aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of N-alkoxycarbonyl isatin ketimines with naphthol using a new 2-adamantyl-substituted quinine-derived squaramide catalyst is presented; the reaction afforded the chiral-tetrasubstituted 3-amino-2-oxindoles with excellent enantioselectivity of greater than 99% ee and quantitative yields. To the best of our knowledge, this methodology is featured for being representative of the efficiency of sterically hindered hydrocarbon substituents in squaramide organocatalysts in terms of stereoselectivity.

SUSAM, Zeynep Dilşad; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2022-11-18)
The first part of thesis comprises Friedel-Crafts/substitution, which is the most common and widely used C-C bond forming reaction in synthetic organic chemistry. Applications of these reactions in domino type reactions are trending topic in organocatalytic studies in the recent years. These types of reactions are used to perform dihydrobenzofuran (DHB) and dihydronaphthofuran (DHN) skeletons, which are very important pharmaceutical precursors. In this study, it was chosen as the key step in domino reaction...
Synthesis of a bipyridine-derived achiral thiourea trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salt and its application as an additive in organocatalytic asymmetric reactions
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; BAŞÇEKEN, SİNAN (2013-10-16)
The host-guest complex of a proline-thiourea bipyridine trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salt can catalyze organocatalytic asymmetric reactions such as aldol, Michael, and Mannich in polar protic medium with high stereoselectivities. The privileged bipyridine backbone and the thiourea motif are essential to the activity and enantioselectivity through hydrogen bonding interactions.
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).
Stereoselective Synthesis of Bishomo-inositols as Glycosidase Inhibitors
Baran, Arif; Balcı, Metin (2009-01-02)
For the synthesis of various bishomo-inositol derivatives, 1,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as the key compound. For further functionalization of the diene unit, the diene was subjected to photooxygenation, epoxidation, and cis-hydroxylation reactions. The endoperoxide linkage was cleaved by thiourea. The remaining double bond was subjected to epoxidation and cis-hydroxylation reactions. The epoxide rings and tetrahydrofuran rings formed were opened by acid-catalyzed reaction with sulfamic acid.

Synthesis of ferrocenyl quinones and ferrocenyl based burning rate catalysts
Açıkalın, Serdar; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2003)
Recently, considerable interest has been devoted to the synthesis of new ferrocene derivatives since properly functionalized ferrocene derivatives could be potential antitumor substances. For this purpose, we have investigated the synthesis of ferrocenyl quinones starting from squaric acid. Thermolysis of ferrocenylsubstituted cyclobutenones, which have been prepared from ferrocenyl cyclobutenediones and alkenyllithiums, affords hydroquinones, which furnish, upon oxidation, ferrocenyl quinones. Ferrocenyl c...
