A proline-calix[4]arene thiourea host-guest complex catalyzed intermolecular aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes with cyclohexanone has been developed. The anti-configured products were obtained in good yields and with high enantioselectivities. The reaction is proposed to work via a modified Houk-List model, where the carboxylate part of the praline constitutes as a supramolecular system with the thiourea. The outcome of the study indicates the influence of the calix[4]arene thiourea on both the reactivity and selectivity in a non-polar reaction medium, even in the presence of water at moderate temperatures.

Novel supramolecular organocatalyst for asymmetric aldol reactions Demircan, Ezgi; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2013) The proline–calix[4]arene thiourea host–guest complex catalyzed intermolecular aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes with cyclohexanone is developed. The anti-configured products were obtained in good yields and high enantioselectivities. The reaction is proposed to work via modified Houk–List model, where the carboxylate part of the proline constitutes a supramolecular system with the thiourea. The outcome of the study indicates the influence of the calix[4]arene thiourea on the reactivity and selectivity i...
Benzaldehyde Lyase-Catalyzed Direct Amidation of Aldehydes with Nitroso Compounds Ayhan, Peruze; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Wiley, 2011-03-07) Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitroso compounds and furnishes N-arylhydroxamic acids in high yields. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to their reaction with nitroso compounds. The kinetic resolution of rac-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanones furnished (S)-benzoins and arylhydroxamic acids with high enantioselectivities and conversions.
Stereoselective construction of 2-oxindole fused spirocycle precursors / Karahan, Seda; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2019) Recent literature on the bioactivity of isatin (indoline-2,3-dione) derivatives triggered organic chemists to make use of the unique potential of isatin in asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis. Due to extensive presence of 2-oxindole skeleton, especially spiro-fused cycles, in many natural products, they drew the special interest in the disciplines of medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry. Due to highly reactive prochiral carbonyl group, isatins are potent precursors for the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted s...
Application of FAM ligands in the metal-promoted catalytic enantioselective synthesis of organic compounds Doğan, Özdemir; Bulut, Adnan (2009-01-01) Novel ferrocenyl substituted aziridinyl methanol (FAM) ligands were synthesized and successfully used in metal-promoted catalytic enantioselective azomethine ylide cycloadditions, diethylzinc additions to enones, alkynylzinc additions to aldehydes, diethylzinc additions to aldehydes, and Henry reactions. These reactions are summarized in this report.
THE OXIDATION OF BETA-ALKOXYCYCLOPENTENONES AND BETA-ALKOXYCYCLOHEXENONES TO ALPHA'-ACYLOXY DERIVATIVES USING MANGANESE(III) ACETATE IN COMBINATION WITH CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; SAYRAC, T; WATT, DS (1990-12-01) The alpha-oxidation of cyclic derivatives of beta-alkoxy-alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones using manganese (III) acetate in the presence of various carboxylic acids provided a convenient synthesis of 5-acyloxy-3-alkoxy-2-cyclopentenones and 6-acyloxy-3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones.
