Substituent effect on the aromaticity of 1,3-azole systems

The effects of substituent type and position on the aromaticity of certain derivatives of oxazole, imidazole and thiazole have been theoretically investigated by using density functional theory at the levels of B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) methods. The second heteroatom substitution decreases aromaticity of furan, pyrrole and thiophene. The decreased aromaticity is gained back to some extent by the substitution of strong electron withdrawing groups or atoms (NO2 and F). Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) data have been considered to determine the aromaticity of the systems. The most effective substitution to enhance the aromaticity has been calculated to be at position 4. The variation of the bond lengths of the main skeleton supports the findings through NICS calculations. The frontier molecular orbital energies have also been reported to draw a general correlation between these energies and the aromaticity of the system.

Synthesis of chiral lactones via the baeyer villiger oxidation of cyclic aromatic acetoxy ketones novel annulation reactions of 2-propynyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to form pyrroles addition of acyl phosphonates to diethyl cyanophosphonate (depc)
Aybey, Asuman; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Chiral Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclic ketones allows rapid access to asymmetric lactones as valuable intermediates in organic chemistry and frequently encountered precursors in enantioselective synthesis. In the first part, BV oxidation of functionalized ketones, especially cyclic -hydroxy and acetoxy ketones is described which could be a straightforward route to the -hydroxy lactones and -hydroxyalkanoic acid derivatives. The -acetoxylation of indanone, tetralone and chromanone derivatives by usi...
Self condensation reaction of alpha-ketophosphonates
Göllü, Mehmet; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2007)
This thesis presents synthesis of tertiary α-hydroxy phosphonate derivatives. α-Ketophosphonates is known that they are both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles. In this work, α-ketophosphonates were used as both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles in the presence of catalytic amount of KCN. α-Ketophosphonates underwent benzoin-type condensation reaction.
Transition structures, energetics, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts for 6 pi electrocyclizations of dienylketenes to cyclohexadienones: A DFT study
Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-03-19)
6pi electrocyclizations of dienylketenes to 2,4-cyclohexadienones have been investigated at the (U)B3LYP/6-31G* level and found to be a favored and exothermic process for most dienylketenes. As evidenced by calculations, dienylketene cyclizations proceed via a pseudopericyclic process. If the terminal double bond of dienylketenes is embedded into a benzenoid-type aryl moiety, the partial or complete loss of aromaticity, as indicated by NICS values, increases the activation barrier and makes the reaction les...
Synthesis of heterocyclic amine substituted novel 1,4-Aminoalcohols and applications in various asymmetric transformations
Keskin, Eda; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2007)
Aminoalcohols are very important compounds used in various asymmetric transformations as chiral ligands or chiral auxiliaries. In this thesis, four novel heterocyclic amine substituted chiral 1,4-aminoalcohols were synthesized. In the synthetic strategy, amide esters were synthesized from (2S, 3R)-3-methoxycarbonylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid by DCC coupling method. Subsequent reduction of these amide esters lead to target 1,4-aminoalcohols. The activities of these novel chiral 1,4-aminoalcoho...

Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; SAATCIOGLU, A (Informa UK Limited, 1993-01-01)
The alpha'-oxidation of cyclic derivatives of alpha-alkoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones using manganese(III)acetate in the presence of various carboxylic acids provided a convenient synthesis of 5-acyloxy-2-alkoxy-2-cyclopentenones and 6-acyloxy-2-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones.
