The Dmap-Catalyzed Acylation Of Alcohol -- A Mechanistic Study, Tania Veronica Alvarez Castro Dec 2020

The Dmap-Catalyzed Acylation Of Alcohol -- A Mechanistic Study, Tania Veronica Alvarez Castro

Theses and Dissertations

The mechanistic studies of Acylation of Alcohols catalyzed by 4-(N,N- Dimethyl-amino)-pyridine (DMAP) has been heavily studied in the literature. This reaction has attracted considerable interest from the synthetic and mechanistic points of view in recent years. In this research, the acylation of alcohols is prepared from cyclohexanol and acetic anhydride that is catalyzed by DMAP using triethyl amine (NEt3) as the auxiliary base and dichloromethane (DCM) as solvent. The reaction and final product will be analyzed by using gas chromatography (GC) and reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA). The mechanistic insights obtained in the present study should be useful for understanding …


Oxadiazinones As Chiral Auxiliaries: Chiral Templates For Asymmetric Conjugate Addition In The Synthesis Of ( R )-( + )-Tolterodine, Fatima Olayemi Obe Jun 2020

Oxadiazinones As Chiral Auxiliaries: Chiral Templates For Asymmetric Conjugate Addition In The Synthesis Of ( R )-( + )-Tolterodine, Fatima Olayemi Obe

Theses and Dissertations

The stereoselective formation of carbon-carbon bonds through the process of conjugate addition has proven to be a very important methodology in synthetic organic chemistry. In this context, oxadiazinones are chiral auxiliaries that have been applied in the asymmetric aldol addition reaction to synthesize valuable synthetic fragments such as the aldol side chain of the multi-drug resistance medicinal agent, hapalosin. This thesis describes efforts that were directed towards employing oxadiazinones as chiral scaffolds for the process of asymmetric conjugate addition with the ultimate objective of using this methodology in the preparation of medicinal agents such as Tolterodine. Preliminary efforts focused on …
