Pyrrolidine skeleton can be found as core structures in many natural compounds. Almost all pyrrolidine derivatives show some biological activities and some of them are used as drugs. These compounds can be synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides with dipolarophiles. This strategy is one of the most efficient and atom economical reaction, because two “C-C” bonds and up to four stereogenic centers can be created in a single step. Our group has synthesized amino alcohol type chiral ligands having ferrocene and aziridine units in their structures. These ligands are shortly called FAM and used with a metal as chiral catalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of organic compounds. In this thesis these chiral catalysts and new derivatives (1-NFAM and CFAM) were screened for the first time in the literature for the enantioselective synthesis of pyridinyl substituted pyrrolidine derivatives. For the synthesis of pyrrolidine structures, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with electron deficient dipolarophiles were used. Imines, the precursors of azomethine ylides, were prepared by condensation of 2-, 3-, and 4- pyridinecarboxaldehyde with glycine methyl ester. Dimethyl maleate, tertiarybutyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, N-methylmaleimide, trans-chalcone, and vinylsulfone were used as the dipolarophiles. As the metal sources, silver, copper and zinc salts were tested. After optimizing the reaction conditions by changing many parameters, it was found that PFAM1 chiral ligand with silver is catalyzing the reaction better than the other ligands and metal sources by forming the product in 94% yield and 48% ee.

Metal catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of thienyl-substituted pyrrolidines by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides
Bulut, Merve; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2019)
Pyrrolidines are structurally and biologically important heterocyclic compounds. One of the efficient methods for the synthesis of these compounds is 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reaction of azomethine ylides with electron deficient dipolarophiles. Asymmetric synthesis of these compounds has been studied by many groups by using 1,3-DC reactions with chiral transition metal catalysts. In all these studies aryl-substituted pyrrolidines were synthesized mainly. In this thesis, heteroaryl-substituted pyrr...
Stereoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides by n-chloramines
İpek, Halil; Akdağ, Akın; Department of Chemistry (2014)
Chiral sulfoxides are present in many biologically active compounds. Asymmetric synthesis of the sulfoxides has been performed by chiral metal complexes and chiral peroxides. Although the asymmetric organooxidation of sulfides by chiral peroxides proved to be successful, peroxides are difficult to handle and obtain. In this study, a new metal free method has been developed to oxidize sulfides to chiral sulfoxides with easily accessible chiral N-chloramines. For this purpose, chiral reagents were synthesized...
Synthesis of metal binding artificial amino acids

A large variety of peptides with different physical and chemical properties can be acquired by using different amino acids. Through chemical peptide synthesis, utilizing unnatural synthetic amino acids beside 21 natural amino acids, divergent peptides can also be obtained easily. Specifically amino acid and peptide conjugates of metals have received considerable attention due to their important role in many biological processes with unique structural properties. Moreover, it is well known that some metal io...
Nanosize hydroxyapatite: doping with various ions
Evis, Zafer (2011-07-01)
Natural crystal sizes of bone minerals are present in the nanoscale regime (specifically less than 100 nm in at least one direction). Therefore, research on the synthesis and characterisation of nanosize hydroxyapatite has gained significant importance in numerous biomedical applications. This is because currently used pure micrometre sized hydroxyapatite has poor mechanical properties, which limits it use in non-load bearing applications. For these reasons, various ions could be easily substituted into nan...
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts
Küçükdişli, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Chiral pyridines as organocatalysts have been used in asymmetric organic synthesis in recent years. The asymmetric synthesis of camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts were perfomed starting from cheap and easily available natural (+)-camphor. Using camphor fused pyridine skeleton, six organocatalysts 29, 32, 33, 38, 40, and 41were successfully synthesized. The first four nucleophilic and Lewis base catalysts 29, 32, and 33 are different P-oxides and P,N-dioxides which were tested in allylation of...
