Transition structures, energetics, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) for Cope rearrangements of cis-2,3-divinylaziridine (IN), cis-2,3-divinyloxirane (10), cis-2,3-divinylphosphirane JP), and cis-2,3-divinylthiirane (IS), leading to 4,5-dihydro-1H-azepine (3N), 4,5-dihydrooxepine (30), 4,5-dihydro-1H-phosphepine (W), and 4,5-dihydrothiepine (3S), respectively, are reported at the (U)B3LYP/6-31G* level and compared to those of cis-1,2-divinylcyclopropane (1C). The minimum energy path for all rearrangements proceeds through an endo-boatlike, aromatic transition structure. The predicted activation barriers increase in the order of 1C < IN < 10 < 1P < IS, which agrees qualitatively with the decreasing ring strain order of reference compounds (cyclopropane > aziridine > oxirane > phosphirane > thiirane). The exothermicities for these rearrangements decrease in the order of IN > 10 > 1C > 1P > IS. If the place of 1C in this sequence is ignored, the decreasing reaction exothermicity order correlates well with the increasing activation barrier order and with decreasing strain order of reference compounds. NICS values calculated for transition structures are typical of highly aromatic transition structures of thermally allowed pericyclic reactions.

Fam-zinc catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides and Koyuncu, Hasan; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2007) In the first part of this study, four new chiral ligands (FAM) were synthesized and used in catalytic amounts in asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides. This method leads to the synthesis of chiral pyrrolidines, which are found in the structure of many biologically active natural compounds and drugs. It was found that using 10 mol% of one of these chiral ligands with different dipolarophiles (dimethyl maleate, dimethyl fumarate, methyl acrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, and Nmethylm...
Synthesis of 1,2,3,5- tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives via 5-exo-dig type cyclization and stereoselective functionalisation of ferrocene derivatives Kayalar, Metin; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2005) A convenient and new method for the synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives starting from 1,3,-dicarbonyl compounds through acid catalyzed cyclization reaction is described. Alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with propargyl bromide followed by one step cyclization with the introduction of primary amines in the presence of catalytic amount of triflouroacetic acid (TFA) affords the corresponding pyrrole derivatives in high yields. The investigations on the studies of developing a new meth...
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...
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 2-oxobicyclo[m.1.0]alkan-3-yl acetate derivatives Atlı, Selin; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2005) a,β-Unsaturated cyclic ketones were selectively oxidized on a'- positions using Mn(OAc)3 and Pb(OAc)4, respectively. The resultant racemic a'-acetoxylated substrates were resolved into corresponding enantiomerically enriched a'-hydroxylated and a'-acetoxylated compounds via PLE hydrolysis. a'-Hydroxylated compounds are racemized quickly, so they were acetylated with acetyl chloride and pyridine in situ to give the corresponding a'-acetoxylated compounds. Resultant a'-acetoxy a,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones r...
DFT calculations of pentalenoquinones: towards the interception of 2-bromopentalene-1,5-dione Atalar, Taner; Algi, Fatih; Balcı, Metin (ARKAT USA, Inc., 2008-01-01) To reveal the stability and the aromatic character of pentalenoquinones (PQs) 1-4 and the corresponding bromo derivatives (Br-PQs) 6-9, DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)) concerning the geometry optimization, total energy and nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) values were performed. It was found that all of the compounds have planar geometry. As the energy difference between HOMO-LUMO energy levels (Delta epsilon=epsilon(LUMO) - epsilon(HOMO)) and total energies were considered for the pentalene f...
