A versatile, two-step synthesis of highly substituted, cyano-functionalized diaryltetracenes has been developed, starting from easily accessible tetraaryl[3]cumulenes. This unprecedented transformation is initiated by [2+2] cycloaddition of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to the proacetylenic central double bond of the cumulenes to give an intermediate zwitterion, which after an electrocyclization cascade and dehydrogenation yields 5,5,11,11-tetracyano-5,11-dihydrotetracenes in a one-pot procedure. A subsequent copper-assisted decyanation/aromatization provided the target 5,11-dicyano-6,12-diaryltetracene derivatives. All of the postulated structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The new chromophores are thermally highly stable and feature promising fluorescence properties for potential use in optoelectronic devices. They are selective chemosensors for Cu-I ions, which coordinate to one of the CN substituents and form a 1:1 complex with an association constant of K-a=1.5x10(5)Lmol(-1) at 298K.

Synthesis of chiral diene systems via ring closing enyne metathesis and their applications in diels-alder reactions Çayır, Merve; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2010) The main subject of this thesis is synthesis of chiral diene systems via Ring Closing Enyne Metathesis (RCEM). Furan and thiophene carbaldehydes were chosen as starting compounds. As a result of allylation and propargylation reaction of these aldehydes targeting racemic heteroaryl substituted homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohols were synthesized. Enantiomerically enriched alcohols were obtained by enzymatic resolution method with different enzymes (PS-II, Lipozyme) with the high enantiomeric excess valu...
Synthesis of Bishomoinositols and an Entry for Construction of a Substituted 3-Oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Skeleton BARAN, ARİF; Bekarlar, Merve; Aydin, Gokay; NEBİOĞLU, MEHMET; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Balcı, Metin (2012-02-03) 1,3,3a,7a-Tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as key compound for the synthesis of various bishomoinositol derivatives. The diene was subjected to an epoxidation reaction for further functionalization of the diene unit. The bisepoxide obtained was submitted to a ring-opening reaction with acid in the presence of water. Various bishomoinositols were synthesized. However, when the reaction was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride, a substituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane skeleton was formed. The mechan...
Synthesis of dipyrrolo-diazepine derivatives via intramolecular alkyne cyclization Baskin, Dilges; Cetinkaya, Yasin; Balcı, Metin (2018-07-26) A regioselective approach was developed for the synthesis of dipyrrolo-diazepine derivatives. The synthetic route to dipyrrolo-diazepines first involves the synthesis of dipyrromethanes, followed by reaction of propargyl bromide in the presence of NaH to attach one alkyne functionality to the pyrrole nitrogen atom. Intramolecular heterocyclization with NaH in DMF between the alkyne functionality and pyrrole nitrogen atom gave the desired structures in good yields.
Synthesis of ferrocene substituted pyrrolidine derivatives via Et2Zn catalyzed 1 3 dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides Doğan, Özdemir (2001-05-01) Synthesis of ferrocene substituted pyrrolidine derivatives via diethylzinc catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides is described. Azomethine ylides were generated from glycine methyl ester and ferrocenecarboxaldehyde by the 'imine tautomerization' method and trapped with dipolarophiles to give the corresponding cycloadducts in reasonable yields and high regio- and stereoselectivity.
Synthesis and Optoelectronic Properties of Janus-Dendrimer-Type Multivalent Donor Acceptor Systems Dengiz, Çağatay; GISSELBRECHT, Jean-Paul; BOUDON, Corinne; TRAPP, Nils; SCHWEIZER, W. Bernd; DIEDERICH, Francois (2015-01-16) A convergent, multistep protocol was employed for the synthesis of a Janus-type multivalent donoracceptor system. The synthetic approach is based on a Sonogashira cross-coupling of two differently ferrocene-(Fc) substituted dendrons and a final sixfold [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) reaction with tetracyanoethene, which occurs regioselectively at only one of the rigidly linked dendrons. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the compounds were investigated by X-ray analysis, ...
