A series of alkenes and alkynes was subjected to reduction with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol in the presence of oxygen. An efficient method was developed for the reduction of C-C double bonds and C-C triple bonds with diimide, generated in situ from hydrazine hydrate by oxidation with oxygen. The reduction process proceeded for 24-48 hours with high chemoselectivity and excellent yields. This reduction procedure offers synthetic advantages over metal-catalyzed hydrogenation as well as other systems.

Manganese (III) acetate mediated regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes
Altınel, Ertan; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2006)
A facile method for the direct conversion of oximes into carbonyl compounds by treatment with manganese triacetate is described. Manganese triacetate can be used for an effective and mild oxidizing agent for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds in good yield. Many functional groups are tolerated under reaction conditions.
Transition structures, energetics, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts for divinylcyclobutene-to-cyclooctatriene rearrangement: A DFT study
Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-02-06)
The minimum energy reaction paths and nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) for the Cope rearrangement of cis-3,4-divinylcyclobutene, obtained by (U)B3LYP/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike, and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis,cis-, cis,cis,trans-, and trans,cis, trans- 1, 3,5-cyclooctatrienes, respectively. The minimum energy path proceeds through an endo-boatlike, aromatic transition structure. The reaction pat...
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...
Naphthazarin-Polycyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbons and Iptycenes
Dengiz, Çağatay; GUTIERREZ, Gregory D.; SWAGER, Timothy M. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-07-21)
The synthesis of a set of naphthazarin-containing polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons is described herein. Sequential Diels-Alder reactions on a tautomerized naphthazarin core were employed to access the final conjugated systems. Complete conjugation across the backbone can be achieved through complexation with BF2, as observed by (HNMR)-H-1 analysis and UV/vis spectroscopy. Precise synthetic control over the degree of oxidation of naphthazarin quinone Diels-Alder adduct 10 is additionally demonstrated and e...
