Synthesis Of Orthogonally Protected 1,2-Diaminopropanoic Acids By Ring-Opening Of 3-Unsubstituted N-Activated Aziridine 2-Carboxylates With Para-Methoxybenzylamine: A Study Of The Regioselectivity Of The Reaction, Fintan Kelleher, Keith O'Brien Oct 2013

Synthesis Of Orthogonally Protected 1,2-Diaminopropanoic Acids By Ring-Opening Of 3-Unsubstituted N-Activated Aziridine 2-Carboxylates With Para-Methoxybenzylamine: A Study Of The Regioselectivity Of The Reaction, Fintan Kelleher, Keith O'Brien

Articles

Orthogonally protected 1,2-diaminopropanoic acids (DAPs) have been synthesised in good yields by the ring-opening of 3-unsubstituted N-activated aziridine 2-carboxylates with para-methoxybenzylamine. The choice of both the N-activating group and ester alkyl group had a significant influence on the ratio of attack at the a or b positions of the aziridine. However, the regiochemical outcome is not predictable.


Synthesis Of Orthogonally Protected Azalanthionines (Lanazanines) By Sequential Ring-Opening Of N-Substituted Aziridine 2-Carboxylates, Keith O'Brien, Keith Ó Proinsias, Fintan Kelleher Jan 2013

Synthesis Of Orthogonally Protected Azalanthionines (Lanazanines) By Sequential Ring-Opening Of N-Substituted Aziridine 2-Carboxylates, Keith O'Brien, Keith Ó Proinsias, Fintan Kelleher

Articles

Orthogonally protected azalanthionines (lanazanines, 4-azadiaminopimelic acids or b-aminoalaninoalanines) have been synthesised in good yields by the ring-opening of N-protected aziridine 2-carboxylates with suitably protected diaminopropanoic acids (DAPs). The required DAPs were also synthesised by ring-opening of N-protected aziridine 2-carboxylates with para-methoxybenzylamine.


Synthesis And Modification Of Octafluoro[2.2]Paracyclophane (Parylene Af4), Craig Hicks, Brendan Duffy, Gráinne Hargaden Jan 2013

Synthesis And Modification Of Octafluoro[2.2]Paracyclophane (Parylene Af4), Craig Hicks, Brendan Duffy, Gráinne Hargaden

Articles

Parylenes are a class of organic compounds which have gained significant attention due to their application as coatings in areas such as medical devices and electronics. This review highlights the development of synthetic pathways to Octafluoro[2.2]Paracyclophane, commonly referred to as parylene AF4. Methods which have been used to functionalise AF4 are also presented.
