A proline-thiourea self-assembled organocatalyst is described as a good catalyst for the enantioselective nitro-Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroalkenes The reaction is efficient with 5% of the thiourea, to give moderate to good enantioselectivity (up to 76% ee) High syn-selectivity was obtained with both branched and unbranched aliphatic aldehydes This is the first example of self-assembly of organocatalysts with an achiral additive in a Michael addition wherein aldehydes are utilized as donors.

Self-assembly of an organocatalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of Michael adducts and alpha-aminoxy alcohols in a nonpolar medium Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; BAŞÇEKEN, SİNAN (2013-10-15) A proline-thiourea host-guest complex is described as a self-assembled organocatalyst for the enantioselective Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins and for the asymmetric alpha-aminoxylation of both aldehydes and ketones. The Michael adducts were obtained in good yields of up to 80%, high diastereo-selectivities of up to 5:95, and high enantiomeric excesses of up to 98%. The optically active aminoxy alcohols were synthesized in 60-85% yields with 94-99% enantiomeric excesses after reduction of the ...
Self-condensation reactions of acyl phosphonates: synthesis of tertiary O-protected alpha-hydroxyphosphonates EYMUR, SERKAN; Gollu, Mehmet; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2014-01-01) The self-condensation reaction of benzoyl dialkyl phosphonates was developed using cyanide ion as catalyst, affording versatile tertiary O-protected alpha-hydroxy phosphonates in moderate yield.
Coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones Zora, Metin; Bekir Peynircioglu, N. (Elsevier BV, 2002-08-15) The coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones leads to ferrocenyl-substituted 5-alkylidenefuranones and 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones, methyl ferrocenoate and acetylferrocene in varying amounts. The scope and limitations of these processes are investigated. In comparison with the phenyl analog, ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex has been found to be less reactive. This is also supported by PM3 calculations. The coupling of ferrocenyl chromium carbene complex with cyclobutenediones...
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...
AN EFFICIENT BUTENOLIDE ANNULATION VIA ALPHA'-CHLOROACETOXYLATION OF ENONES USING MANGANESE(III) ACETATE AND CHLOROACETIC ACID DEMIR, AS; AKGUN, H; Tanyeli, Cihangir; SAYRAC, T; WATT, DS (1991-09-01) The alpha'-chloroacetoxylation of alpha,-beta-unsaturated ketones using manganese(III) acetate and chloroacetic acid followed by Arbuzov reaction and intramolecular Horner-Emmons olefination provided a convenient synthesis of annulated 2-buten-4-olides.
