Asymmetric 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition (DC) reactions of azomethine ylides are important for the synthesis of pyrrolidines. These reactions may give enantiomerically pure compounds in the presence of a chiral catalyst in a single step. Therefore, many groups have studied this reaction to synthesize aryl-substituted pyrrolidines in enantiomerically rich form. Although the aryl-substituted pyrrolidine synthesis is very common, the studies involving the heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines are quite rare. In general, groups studying these reactions mainly focus on the aryl-substituted pyrrolidines and include one or two examples involving the heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines. Therefore, it is important to synthesize different derivatives of heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines and develop a chiral catalyst that produces these compounds in high yields and enantioselectivities. Our group is also involved in this field and developed two different types of chiral ligands, one is known as ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol (FAM) and the other one is the phosphorous derivative of these ligands. Using both ligands, our group reported the enantioselective synthesis of arylsubstituted pyrrolidines in good yields and enantioselectivities. In this thesis, we have applied our FAM ligands (four diastereomers) and a new derivative, namely 1naphthyl ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol (1-NFAM, also four diastereomers), in the enantioselective synthesis of furyl-substituted pyrrolidines by using 1,3-DC reaction of azomethine ylides. Our studies showed that FAM ligands can catalyze the 1,3-DC reaction of azomethine ylides to form furyl-substituted pyrrolidines in up to 87% yield and 72% enantioselectivity.

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).
Endohedrally halogen and interhalogen substituted C-70-AM1 study Türker, Burhan Lemi (2002-12-09) C-70 structure having a certain halogen (Cl-2, Br-2, I-2) or interhalogen molecule (BrCl, ICl, IBr) as the endohedral substituent was considered for semiempirical quantum chemical calculations at the level of AMI (RHF). All the endohedrally monosubstituted systems were found to be stable (inversely related to the bulkiness of the substituent) but endothermic (directly related to the size of the substituent). Some electronic and physicochemical properties of these systems were also reported.
Enantioselective synthesis of (S)-2-hydroxypropanone derivatives by benzoylformate decarboxylase catalyzed C-C bond formation Dunnwald, T; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Siegert, P; Pohl, M; Muller, M (2000-06-01) Chiral 2-hydroxypropanone derivatives 5a-v, 8a-d, and 10a, b were formed by benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) catalyzed C-C bond formation. A donor aldehyde and acetaldehyde as an acceptor were carboligated in aqueous buffer solution with remarkable ease in high chemical yield and good to high optical purity. The substrate range of this thiamin diphosphate dependent enzyme was examined to employ this benzoin condensation type reaction in stereoselective synthesis. The observed dependence of the enantiomeri...

Enantioselective direct aldol reactions promoted by phosphine oxide aziridinyl phosphonate organocatalysts Doğan, Özdemir (2015-12-15) A series of phosphine oxide based chiral Lewis bases were screened as organocatalysts for silicon tetrachloride mediated direct asymmetric aldol reactions between cyclohexanone and various aromatic aldehydes. One of the phosphine oxide-aziridinyl phosphonate POAP-A Lewis bases formed the aldol products in up to 75% yield and with 65% ee.
