New Syntheses Of Diaryl Ethers, Tyrosinols, B-Hydroxytyrosinols, L,L-Isodityrosinol And L,L-Isodityrosine-Derived Agents Via The Diels-Alder Reaction, Xianqi Feng
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Syntheses of diaryl ethers were approached by use of a Diels-Alder reaction employing a new type of diene attached with an aryloxy group. Thus, 2-methyl-3-phenoxybutadiene (90b ), 2- methoxy-3-phenoxybutadiene (92b) and (4S)-3-(t- butyloxycarbony1)-2 ,2-dimethyl-4-( 4-(3-methoxy-1,3 -butadienyl-2- oxy )phenylmethyl]oxazolidine (93b) were synthesized in ~65% yields by methylenation of the carbonyl function in the corresponding 2- substituted acrylate aryl ester using Tebbe's reagent. The 1,3- bis[(trimethylsilyl)oxy ]-2-phenoxybutadiene (105) was made from 1-phenoxy-2-propanone (101) by a sequence of formylation and enolsilylation. Methyl propiolate (107) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (113) were heated at reflux with diene 9 0 b and 92b in toluene to provide …
Mobilization Of Iron Enhances The Iron-Dependent Biochemical Reactivity Of Asbestos In Vitro And Contributes To The Cytotoxicity Of Asbestos In Cultured Cells, Loren Glen Lund
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Asbestos related research began approximately 60 years ago, yet, the mechanism(s) by which asbestos exerts its biological effects is not well understood. The hypothesis upon which this dissertation is based is that mobilization of iron from asbestos enhances the iron-dependent biochemical reactivity of asbestos in vitro and contributes to asbestos-dependent cytotoxicity. The specific aims for this hypothesis were, 1) to determine whether iron was responsible for the biochemical reactivity of asbestos in vitro and asbestos-induced cytotoxicity in cultured cells, and 2) to determine whether mobilization of iron from asbestos enhanced the reactions catalyzed by asbestos in vitro and contributes to …
Calculation Of Barriers To Proton Transfer Using Variations Of Multiconfiguration Self‐Consistent‐Field Methods. Ii. Configuration Interaction, K. Luth, Steve Scheiner
Calculation Of Barriers To Proton Transfer Using Variations Of Multiconfiguration Self‐Consistent‐Field Methods. Ii. Configuration Interaction, K. Luth, Steve Scheiner
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications
Various means are tested of including additional electron correlation into multiconfiguration self‐consistent‐field (MCSCF) methods for computing proton transfer potentials in HF2−, H7N2+, H3O2−, and H5O2+. Configuration interaction allowing single excitations (CIS) and configuration interaction with single + double excitations (CISD) calculations are performed following MCSCF expansion of the wave function using various different MCSCF reference wave functions. The CISD results are excellent, being fairly independent of choice of reference space although it is important that the occupied orbitals be balanced between the …

Calculation Of Barriers To Proton Transfer Using Variations Of Multi-Configuration Self‐Consistent Field Methods. I. Combinations Of Orbitals, K. Luth, Steve Scheiner
Steve Scheiner
The usefulness of multiconfiguration self‐consistent‐field (MCSCF) calculations in computing correlated proton transfer potentials is investigated for the systems HF2−, H7N2+, H3O2−, and H5O2+. In deciding whether to include particular molecular orbitals, it is important to consider the balance of electron density between the donor and acceptor groups and the interactions that are incorporated in the orbitals. Only orbitals which have the proper symmetry to interact with the transferring hydrogen need be included in the MCSCF active space. Reasonable transfer barriers are obtained …
Pulsed‐Laser Excited Differential Photothermal Deflection Spectrometry, Stephen E. Bialkowski, Xu Gu, Pete E. Poston, Linda S. Powers
Pulsed‐Laser Excited Differential Photothermal Deflection Spectrometry, Stephen E. Bialkowski, Xu Gu, Pete E. Poston, Linda S. Powers
Stephen E. Bialkowski
This paper describes a differential photothermal optical absorbance apparatus that uses two excitation beams at different wave-lengths. A single probe beam monitors the difference in heats generated by the two wavelengths. The theory is developed for the operational principles of the apparatus, and theoretical signals are compared with those obtained with a conventional absorption spectrophotometer. The differential photothermal apparatus has a theoretical advantage over conventional spectrophotometry for samples with less than unit absorbance. Experiments are described which verify the operating principles and demonstrate the flexibility of the apparatus.
Proton–Donor Properties Of Water And Ammonia In Van Der Waals Complexes With Rare‐Gas Atoms. Kr–H2o And Kr–Nh3, G. Chalasinski, M. M. Szczesniak, Steve Scheiner
Proton–Donor Properties Of Water And Ammonia In Van Der Waals Complexes With Rare‐Gas Atoms. Kr–H2o And Kr–Nh3, G. Chalasinski, M. M. Szczesniak, Steve Scheiner
Steve Scheiner
The perturbation theory of intermolecular forces in conjunction with the supermolecular Møller–Plesset perturbation theory is applied to the analysis of the potential‐energy surfaces of Kr–H2O and Kr–NH3 complexes. The valleylike minimum region on the potential‐energy surface of Kr–H2O ranges from the coplanar geometry with the C2 axis of H2O nearly perpendicular to the O–Kr axis (T structure) to the H‐bond structure in which Kr faces the H atom of H2O. Compared to the previously studied Ar–H2O [J. Chem. Phys. 94, 2807 (1991)] the minimum has more …
