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 enantiomeric excess on the substitution pattern could be exploited to design substrates resulting in high selectivity Best substrates with regard to optical purity were meta-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives. To enable a general and convenient applicability of the BFD-catalyzed C-C bond formation, analytical batch experiments were scaled up to give (S)-2-hydroxy ketones in good to high yields on a preparative scale. Further, the solubility of some of the organic substrates in aqueous solution was increased by the use of cyclodextrin or buffer/DMSO mixtures.

Enantioselective decarboxylative michael and aldol reactions with bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts
Bayer, Ezgi; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2018)
The decarboxylative Michael and aldol reactions are quite new in the asymmetric studies and are used for forming new C-C bonds by nucleophilic attack. In the first part of this thesis, decarboxylative Michael reaction of isatylidene malononitriles with ethyl benzoyl acetate was accomplished in the presence of chiral 2- aminoDMAP and quinine derived bifunctional acid/base organocatalysts, which are developed in our research group. In this part, 12 derivatives were synthesized with quinine based 1-adamantyl s...
Dimethyl ether from syngas and effect of CO2 sorption on product distribution over a new bifunctional catalyst pair containing STA@SBA-15
ÇELİK ÖZCAN, MERVE; PEKMEZCİ KARAMAN, BİRCE; OKTAR, NURAY; Doğu, Timur (2022-12-01)
Direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas was investigated in the presence of a bifunctional catalyst pair containing silicotungstic acid (STA) incorporated SBA-15 (5, 10, 25% by wt. STA) for the in-situ dehydration of synthesized methanol. The methanol synthesis component of this catalyst mixture is a Cu/ZnO-based commercial (HF) catalytic material. The new STA@SBA-15 type solid acid catalysts synthesized in this study indicated ordered mesoporous structures with surface area values in the range...
Enantioselective synthesis of furyl-substituted pyrrolidines
Araz, Mihrimah; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2019)
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 gene...
