We have performed an investigation on the cyclotrimerisation of molecules having exo- and endo-benzotricyclo[4.2.1.0(2,5)]nonene skeletons (3 and 4) with the aim of producing their respective cyclotrimers 2 that feature unusual geometries and electronic properties. Activation towards the cyclotrimerisation reaction was performed using the vic-bromostannyl vinyl derivatives and was accomplished under copper-mediated or palladium-catalysed reaction conditions. While the exo isomer 3 proved to be quite reactive and afforded variable amounts of the syn and anti cyclotrimers, the endo isomer 4 turned out to be quite resistant to cyclotrimerisation because of steric hindrance. Only dimers and acyclic trimers were obtained from reactions using this substrate. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004).

The synthesis and characterization of new metal-free and metallo phthalocyanines substituted with four dithiatetraoxa macrocyclic moieties
Kantekin, Halit; Rakap, Murat; Misir, Mirac Nedim; Goek, Halil Zeki; Acar, Irfan (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01)
New metal-free phthalocyanine ( 7) fused symmetrically in peripheral positions with four dithiatetraoxa macrocycles, has been synthesized by cyclotetramerization of the isoindoline-diimine derivative of macrocyclic 6. Metallophthalocyanine ( 8) was synthesized by reaction of phthalonitrile derivative ( 5) with anhydrous nickel( II) chloride. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 and C-13-NMR, IR UV-Vis and mass spectroscopies.
A new and efficient chemoenzymatic route to both enantiomers of alpha '-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Findik, H; Kose, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-08)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of the pharmacologically interesting alpha'-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones starting from alpha-methyl-beta-methoxy cyclic enones is reported. Manganese(Ill) acetate-mediated acetoxylation followed by the enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of alpha'-acetoxy enone provides acetoxy enones 1a and 2a and hydroxy enones 1b and 2b with high enantiomeric excesses in good yields. The reduction of the acetoxy and hydroxy enones furnished both e...
A new strategy for the synthesis of pyridines from N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones
Kelgokmen, Yilmaz; Zora, Metin (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-03-07)
A new method for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines from N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones is reported. beta-Enaminothiones were prepared by thionation of the corresponding beta-enaminones with Lawesson's reagent. When treated with diisopropylamine in DMF at room temperature, N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones yielded 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines in moderate to high yields, along with small amounts of 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazepines. The reaction was found to be general for a broad ran...
Studies on the reaction of acyl phosphonates with aldehydes in the presence of proline
Yalçınkaya, Hatice; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Acyl phosphonates are interesting precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. In the first part, the acyl phosphonates are synthesized starting from the corresponding acyl chloride. The acyl chlorides are converted into acyl phosphonates by using trialkylphosphites. The reaction of acyl phosphonates with aldehydes in the presence of proline furnished not the suggested aldol products via proline catalyzed aldol reaction but bicyclic products via one pot tricomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloadditi...
Design and synthesis of new supramolecular building blocks based on oligo-bodıpy dyes
Bilgiç, Bora; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2008)
We have designed and synthesized a fluorescent, self-assembled molecular square containing a highly fluorescent well known flurophore boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) dye. Pt(II) complexes were used to hold together BODIPY derivatives and give the right angle to form the square structure. Usage of BODIPY fluorophore is very important on such structures because its variety of superior properties. BODIPY is a well studied fluorophore in our group and it is known that this self assembled square can be easily modifie...
