Solid Phase Amide Synthesis Using Staudinger-Vilarrasa Coupling And Microwave Irradiation, Ryan Patrick Schmidtz
Solid Phase Amide Synthesis Using Staudinger-Vilarrasa Coupling And Microwave Irradiation, Ryan Patrick Schmidtz
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Amide bond formation is an already well documented area of organic chemistry, and is very useful in its application in medicine and pharmaceuticals. However, current methods have not been investigated with regards to optimization of reaction times, solvents, and energy sources. In addition, current methods also utilize toxic solvents to cleave the peptide from the solid phase resin. In our study, we combine the Staudinger and Vilarrasa coupling reactions with microwave irradiation to develop and optimize the synthesis of amide bonds through the use of a solid support. Instead of attaching the peptide to the solid support, our amide bond …
Synthetic Studies Of Laulimalide Analogues, Ian Addison Mcalexander
Synthetic Studies Of Laulimalide Analogues, Ian Addison Mcalexander
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Chapter 1 provides some background information on the disease area of cancer and current modes of treatment. Chemotherapy treatment is discussed with a focus on the major cellular targets for these drugs: DNA and microtubules. For each target, classes of active compounds are described along with their mode of action. The microtubule stabilizing agent laulimalide is introduced and a case is made for analogue synthesis.
Chapter 2 describes our first generation efforts toward synthesis of des-methyl laulimalide. The target compound is divided into a northern and southern fragment with the synthesis of each fragment described. The preparation of landmark intermediates …
Synthesis And Leishmanicidal Evaluation Of Novel 4-Substituted-2,2-Dimethyl-7-(Prop-2-Ynyloxy)Chromenes, Babak H. Alizadeh, Alireza Foroumadi, Susan K. Ardestani, Fatemeh Poorrajab, Abass Shafiee
Synthesis And Leishmanicidal Evaluation Of Novel 4-Substituted-2,2-Dimethyl-7-(Prop-2-Ynyloxy)Chromenes, Babak H. Alizadeh, Alireza Foroumadi, Susan K. Ardestani, Fatemeh Poorrajab, Abass Shafiee
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Substituted 4-chromenes were synthesized via the Grignard coupling reaction of various substituted phenyl- and benzylmagnesium chlorides with 2,2-dimethyl-7-(prop-2-ynyloxy)chroman-4-one (1) in relatively good yield (60%-85%). The benzylic-substituted derivatives were a mixture of 2 exo and endo regioisomers, and the exo compounds were a mixture of E and Z isomers. Structural analysis of the exo and endo isomers, as well as E and Z of exo isomers were based on H-NMR, ^{13}C-NMR, and NOESY experiments. The synthetic compounds were examined for in vitro activity against Leishmania major and compound 9 (a, b) was the most active, with inhibitory activity of 36%.

Dilithium phthalocyanine (Li2Pc) consists of an aromatic macrocycle possessing a doubly negative charge and two Li+ counterions. One Li+ ion is easily displaceable while the other remains coordinated to the phthalocyanine ring. The displaceable Li+ cation can be exchanged with other cations, such as a singly charged tetra-alkyl ammonium cation, by using several variations of a general procedure. It has been demonstrated that tetraalkylammonium lithium phthalocyanines (TAA-LiPcs) can be successfully and reproducibly synthesized with yields ranging from 54.5% up to 64.3%. All TAA-LiPcs demonstrated poor solubilities from approximately <0.2 mg/mL to 5 mg/ml in the solvents tested (with the exception of tetrapropylammonium lithium phthalocyanine and tetrahexylammonium lithium phthalocyanine). All of the TAA-LiPcs synthesized were dark-purple in color, with the exception of tetraheptylammonium lithium phthalocyanine and tetraoctylammonium lithium phthalocyanine. These two compounds were dark - blue in color. Melting points varied greatly from >370.4°C to 157.9°C and depended greatly upon …0.2>
Task Specific Ionic Liquids For Enantiomeric Recognition And Nanomaterials For Biomedical Imaging, David Kipkogei Bwambok
Task Specific Ionic Liquids For Enantiomeric Recognition And Nanomaterials For Biomedical Imaging, David Kipkogei Bwambok
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts that melt at or below 100°C. Interest in ILs continues to grow due to their unique properties such as lack of measurable vapor pressure, high thermal stability, tunability and recyclability. The first part of this dissertation explores the use of chiral ionic liquids (CILs) for enantiomeric recognition of chiral analytes using fluorescence spectroscopy. Chiral analyses continue to be a subject of considerable interest primarily as a result of legislation introduced by the Food and Drug Administration. This has led to an increased need for suitable chiral selectors and methods to verify the enantiomeric forms …
