Synthesis Of Β,Β-Disubstituted Styrenes Via Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Promoted Aldehyde-Aldehyde Aldol Addition-Deformylative Elimination., Grant J. Dixon, Michael R. Rodriguez, Tyler G. Chong, Kevin Y. Kim, C. Wade Downey
Synthesis Of Β,Β-Disubstituted Styrenes Via Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Promoted Aldehyde-Aldehyde Aldol Addition-Deformylative Elimination., Grant J. Dixon, Michael R. Rodriguez, Tyler G. Chong, Kevin Y. Kim, C. Wade Downey
Chemistry Faculty Publications
In the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and 2,6-lutidine, α,α-disubstituted aldehydes condense with electron-rich aromatic aldehydes to yield β, β- disubstituted styrenes. More electron-rich aromatic aldehydes react more rapidly and in higher yield. Preliminary results suggest that the reaction may proceed via the ionization and formal deformylation of an aldol intermediate.
One-Pot Synthesis Of 2-Methylfurans From 3- (Trimethylsilyl)Propargyl Acetates Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, Danielle E. Sklar, Alex V. Helbling, Yiqi Liu, C. Wade Downey
One-Pot Synthesis Of 2-Methylfurans From 3- (Trimethylsilyl)Propargyl Acetates Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, Danielle E. Sklar, Alex V. Helbling, Yiqi Liu, C. Wade Downey
Chemistry Faculty Publications
In the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and triethylamine, 3-(trimethylsilyl)propargyl carboxylates undergo a one-pot alkylation-cyclization- desilylation reaction with ketones to produce 2-methylfurans. Alkylation at 0 °C in methylene chloride, followed by acid-catalyzed cyclization at room temperature, provides the furans in 52-86% yield. Cyclization and desilylation appear to be promoted by triflic acid generated in situ from the exposure of the reaction mixture to water upon completion of the initial substitution reaction.
Friedel–Crafts Addition Of Indoles To Nitrones Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, Zachary Z. Oracheff, Helen L. Xia, Christopher D. Poff, Scott E. Isaacson, C. Wade Downey
Friedel–Crafts Addition Of Indoles To Nitrones Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, Zachary Z. Oracheff, Helen L. Xia, Christopher D. Poff, Scott E. Isaacson, C. Wade Downey
Chemistry Faculty Publications
N-alkylindoles undergo Friedel–Crafts addition to aryl and secondary alkyl nitrones in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and a trialkylamine to produce 3-(1- (silyloxyamino)alkyl)indoles. Spontaneous conversion to the bisindolyl(aryl)methanes, which is thermodynamically favored for nitrones derived from aromatic aldehydes, is suppressed under the reaction conditions. The silyloxyamino group can be deprotected with tetrabutylammonium fluoride to yield the hydroxylamine.

One-Pot Silyl Ketene Imine Formation-Nucleophilic Addition Reactions Of Acetonitrile With Acetals And Nitrones, C. Wade Downey, Grace Ann L. Robertson, Jhonmattew Santa, Kari R. Flicker, William M. Stith
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and a trialkylamine base promote the conversion of acetonitrile to its silyl ketene imine in situ when acetonitrile is employed as solvent. Residual TMSOTf acts as a Lewis acid catalyst to activate acetals and nitrones in the reaction mixture, yielding β-methoxynitriles and β-(silyloxy)aminonitriles, respectively. Some reaction products undergo elimination under the reaction conditions to provide the α,β-unsaturated nitrile directly.

Metal-Assisted Hydrolysis Reactions Involving Lipids: A Review, Dominique E. Williams, Kathryn B. Grant
Chemistry Faculty Publications
This report covers major advances in the use of metal ions and complexes to hydrolyze ester and phosphate ester lipid bonds. These metal-based Lewis acids have been investigated as catalysts to isolate fatty acids from biological sources, as probes to study phospholipid bilayer properties, as tools to examine signal transduction pathways, and as lead compounds toward the discovery of therapeutic agents. Metal ions that accelerate phosphate ester hydrolysis under mild conditions of temperature and pH may have the potential to mimic phospholipase activity in biochemical applications.
One-Pot Enol Silane Formation-Mukaiyama Aldol Reactions: Crossed Aldehyde-Aldehyde Coupling, Thioester Substrates, And Reactions In Ester Solvents, C. Wade Downey, Grant J. Dixon, Jared A. Ingersoll, Claire A. Fuller, Kenneth W. Maccormac, Anna Takashima, Rohina Sediqui

Chemistry Faculty Publications
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and a trialkylamine base promote both in situ enol silane/silyl ketene acetal formation and Mukaiyama aldol addition reactions between a variety of reaction partners in a single reaction flask. Isolation of the required enol silane or silyl ketene acetal is not necessary. For example, crossed aldol reactions between α-disubstituted aldehydes and non-enolizable aldehydes yield b- hydroxy aldehydes in good yield. In a related reaction, the common laboratory solvent ethyl acetate functions as both an enolate precursor and a green reaction solvent. When thioesters are employed as enolate precursors, high yields for additions to non-enolizable aldehydes are routinely …

This study demonstrates the formation of nanoparticles (NPs) from metal salts within ceramic glazes, such that the use of this colorant technology is more accessible to artisans, employs less metal content, is less environmentally harmful, and allows for the use of traditional kilns. Gold NPs have been demonstrated to possess a specific, low material loading use as a ceramic glaze colorant via plasmon resonance. Pre-synthesized gold NPs that are added to ceramic glazes have been found to significantly change in size after firing in both reductive and oxidative atmospheres, but still maintain some size relationships and color properties. Unfortunately, it …

Chalcone And Cinnamate Synthesis Via One-Pot Enol Silane Formation-Mukaiyama Aldol Reactions Of Ketones And Acetate Esters, C. Wade Downey, Hadleigh M. Glist, Anna Takashima, Samuel R. Bottum, Grant J. Dixon
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Aryl alkyl ketones, acetate esters, and acetamides undergo facile one-pot enol silane formation, Mukaiyama aldol addition, and dehydrosilyloxylation in the presence of an amine base and excess trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate. The chalcone and cinnamate products are generally recovered in high yield. The relative stoichiometry of the trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and amine base reagents determines whether the reaction yields the β- silyloxy carbonyl product or the α, β -unsaturated carbonyl.

One-Pot Enol Silane Formation-Alkylation Of Ketones With Propargyl Carboxylates Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, C. Wade Downey, Danielle N. Confair, Yiqi Liu, Elizabeth D. Heafner
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Ketones readily undergo conversion to enol silanes in the presence of trialkylamine base and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and add to propargyl cations to yield b-alkynyl ketones. The propargyl cations are generated in the same reaction flask through the TMSOTf-promoted ionization of propargyl acetates or propargyl propionates. A range of enol silane precursors and propargyl carboxylates reacts efficiently (20 examples, up to 99% yield). Cyclization of a representative product in the presence of TMSOTf provided 61% yield of the trisubstituted furan.

Friedel–Crafts Hydroxyalkylation Of Indoles Mediated By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, C. Wade Downey, Christopher D. Poff, Alissa N. Nizinski
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Indoles and N-alkylindoles undergo Friedel–Crafts addition to aldehydes in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and a trialkylamine to produce 3-(1- silyloxyalkyl)indoles. Neutralization of the reaction mixture with pyridine followed by deprotection under basic conditions with tetrabutylammonium fluoride provides the 1:1 adduct as the free alcohol. This method prevents spontaneous conversion of the desired products to the thermodynamically favored bisindolyl(aryl)methanes, a process typically observed when indoles are reacted with aldehydes under acidic conditions.
One-Pot Silyl Ketene Acetal-Formation-Mukaiyama–Mannich Additions To Imines Mediated By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, C. Wade Downey, Jared A. Ingersoll, Hadleigh M. Glist, Carolyn M. Dombrowski, Adam T. Barnett
One-Pot Silyl Ketene Acetal-Formation-Mukaiyama–Mannich Additions To Imines Mediated By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, C. Wade Downey, Jared A. Ingersoll, Hadleigh M. Glist, Carolyn M. Dombrowski, Adam T. Barnett
Chemistry Faculty Publications
In the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and trialkylamine base, thioesters are readily converted to silyl ketene acetals in situ and undergo Mukaiyama–Mannich addition to N-phenylimines in one pot. The silyl triflates appears to play two roles, activating both the thioester and the imine. This process also works well when thioesters are replaced with amides, esters, or ketones. Products are isolated as desilylated anilines without the necessity of a deprotection step. Yields range from 65-99%.
Silyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Activated Para-Methoxybenzyl Methyl Ether As An Alkylating Agent For Thiols And Aryl Ketones, C. Wade Downey, Sarah E. Covington, Derek C. Obenschain, Evan Halliday, James T. Rague, Danielle N. Confair
Silyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Activated Para-Methoxybenzyl Methyl Ether As An Alkylating Agent For Thiols And Aryl Ketones, C. Wade Downey, Sarah E. Covington, Derek C. Obenschain, Evan Halliday, James T. Rague, Danielle N. Confair
Chemistry Faculty Publications
para-Methoxybenzyl methyl ether acts as an alkylating agent for thiols in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and trialkylamine base in good yields (58-96%). Aryl ketones are alkylated under similar conditions, probably through an enol silane intermediate, also in high yields (67-95%). The active alkylating species is likely a p-methoxybenzyl cation.

Silyl Triflate-Accelerated Additions Of Catalytically Generated Zinc Acetylides To N-Phenyl Nitrones, C. Wade Downey, Erin N. Maxwell, Danielle N. Confair
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Terminal alkynes readily form zinc acetylides in the presence of iPr2NEt and 20 mol% ZnBr2, then attack N-phenyl nitrones activated by trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate. Deprotection with aqueous acid yields the N-hydroxyl propargylamine. Yields are generally high for nitrones derived from aromatic aldehydes. Control experiments suggest that the silyl triflate has a significant accelerating effect upon the reaction.
One-Pot Enol Silane Formation-Mukaiyama–Mannich Addition Of Ketones, Amides, And Thioesters To Nitrones In The Presence Of Trialkylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonates, C. Wade Downey, Carolyn M. Dombrowski, Erin N. Maxwell, Chelsea L. Safran, Odamea A. Akomah

Chemistry Faculty Publications
Ketones, amides, and thioesters form enol silanes and add to N-phenylnitrones in one pot in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and trialkylamine. The reaction is general to a range of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonates and N-phenylnitrones. The b-(silyloxy)amino carbonyl products are stable to chromatography and can be isolated in 63-99% yield.
One-Pot Synthesis Of (Z)-B-Sulfonyl Enoates From Ethyl Propiolate, C. Wade Downey, Smaranda Craciun, Ana M. Neferu, Christina A. Vivelo, Carly J. Mueller, Brian C. Southall, Stephanie Corsi, Eric W. Etchill, Ryan J. Sault
One-Pot Synthesis Of (Z)-B-Sulfonyl Enoates From Ethyl Propiolate, C. Wade Downey, Smaranda Craciun, Ana M. Neferu, Christina A. Vivelo, Carly J. Mueller, Brian C. Southall, Stephanie Corsi, Eric W. Etchill, Ryan J. Sault
Chemistry Faculty Publications
B-Sulfonyl enoates may be synthesized through a one-pot two-step sequence from ethyl propiolate with good to excellent selectivity for the Z isomer. Trialkylamines catalyze thioconjugate additions of aryl thiols, and alkoxides catalyze the addition of aliphatic thiols. Addition of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) and LiClO4 to the reaction mixture provides rapid access to the sulfonyl enoates. Yields of the pure Z isomer range from 51 – 90%.

One-Pot Three-Step Thioconjugate Addition-Oxidation-Diels–Alder Reactions Of Ethyl Propiolate, C. Wade Downey, Smaranda Craciun, Christina A. Vivelo, Ana M. Neferu, Carly J. Mueller, Stephanie Corsi
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Ethyl propiolate undergoes one-pot three-step thioconjugate addition-oxidation-Diels–Alder cycloaddition when treated with a variety of thiols in the presence of catalytic base, meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, lithium perchlorate, and cyclopentadiene. The reaction of S‑aryl thiols is catalyzed by trialkylamines, and the reaction of aliphatic thiols requires catalytic alkoxide base. Yields of the major diastereomer of the conveniently functionalized bicyclic products range from 47 to 81% depending upon the thiol reactant, which compares favorably to yields observed when the entire synthesis is performed step by step.
Synthesis Of N-Acyl-N,O-Acetals From N-Aryl Amides And Acetals In The Presence Of Tmsotf, C. Wade Downey, Alan S. Fleisher, James T. Rague, Chelsea L. Safran, Megan E. Venable, Robert D. Pike
Synthesis Of N-Acyl-N,O-Acetals From N-Aryl Amides And Acetals In The Presence Of Tmsotf, C. Wade Downey, Alan S. Fleisher, James T. Rague, Chelsea L. Safran, Megan E. Venable, Robert D. Pike
Chemistry Faculty Publications
Secondary amides undergo in situ silyl imidate formation mediated by TMSOTf and an amine base, followed by addition to acetal acceptors to provide N-acyl-N,O-acetals in good yields. An analogous, high-yielding reaction is observed with 2-mercaptothiazoline as the silyl imidate precursor. Competing reduction of the acetal to the corresponding methyl ether via transfer hydrogenation can be circumvented by the replacement of i-Pr2NEt with 2,6-lutidine under otherwise identical reaction conditions.

In the presence of TMSOTf and a trialkylamine base, acetic acid undergoes aldol addition to non-enolizable aldehydes under exceptionally mild conditions. Acidic workup yields the β-hydroxy carboxylic acid. The reaction appears to proceed via a three-step, one-pot process, including in situ trimethylsilyl ester formation, bis-silyl ketene acetal formation, and TMSOTf-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol addition. Independently synthesized TMSOAc also undergoes aldol additions under similar conditions.

Various ketones, esters, amides, and thioesters add in high yield to dimethyl acetals in the presence of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonates and an amine base. Acetals derived from aryl, unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes are all effective substrates. The reaction proceeds in a single reaction flask, with no purification of the intermediate enol silane necessary.

A Series Of Vertically Integrated Nanotechnology Experiments For The Undergraduate Curriculum, Kevin W. Kittredge, Lesley E. Russell, Michael C. Leopold
Chemistry Faculty Publications
We have designed three nanotechnology experiments that are vertically integrated for an undergraduate chemistry curriculum. They are an evolving set of experiments for sequential courses in an undergraduate chemistry program. These experiments are designed to match the student's level of understanding for each particular course. The participating student is involved in a "research" project that progresses in both theory and experimental technique. Students benefit from these vertically integrated experiments by being involved in multiple facets of a simulated research project. This mimics a traditional research project under an advisor's supervision without the undesired drawback of an unknown outcome.

A Tandem Enol Silane Formation-Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction Mediated By Tmsotf, C. Wade Downey, Miles W. Johnson
Chemistry Faculty Publications
A slight excess of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonate mediates a tandem enol silane formation-Mukaiyama aldol reaction in the presence of Hunig’s base. Preformation of the enol silane is unnecessary for efficient reactions, which proceed in 75–97% yield for the addition of aryl methyl ketones and acetate esters to non-enolizable aldehydes. Mechanistic data suggests that free amine is crucial for full conversion.

We studied the mechanism of action of 3,5-dibromo-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (JG-03-14) and found that it is a potent microtubule depolymerizer. JG-03-14 caused a dose-dependent loss of cellular microtubules, formation of aberrant mitotic spindles, accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, and Bcl-2 phosphorylation. These events culminated in the initiation of apoptosis, as evidenced by the caspase 3-dependent cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). JG-03-14 has antiproliferative activity against a wide range of cancer cell lines, with an average IC50 value of 62 nM, and it is a poor substrate for transport …

The Low Mode (LM) and Monte Carlo (MC) conformational search methods were compared on three diverse molecular systems; (4R, 5S, 6S, 7R)-hexahydro-5,6-dihydroxy-1,3,4,7-tetrakis(phenylmethyl)-2H-1,3-diazapin-2-one (1), 2-methoxy-2-phenyl-2-triflouromethyl-N-α-methyl benzyl propanamide (2) and a trimeric 39-membered polyazamacrolide (3). We find that either method, or a combination of the methods, is equally efficient at searching the conformational space of the smaller molecular systems while a 50:50 hybrid of Low Mode and Monte Carlo is most efficient at searching the space of the larger molecular system.
