Pyrrole Syntheses Based On Titanium-Catalyzed Hydroamination Of Diynes, Douglas Armstrong, Balasubramanian Ramanathan, Adam J. Keith, Aaron L. Odom
Pyrrole Syntheses Based On Titanium-Catalyzed Hydroamination Of Diynes, Douglas Armstrong, Balasubramanian Ramanathan, Adam J. Keith, Aaron L. Odom
Faculty Scholarship – Chemistry
Titanium-catalyzed hydroamination of 1,4- and 1,5-diynes by primary amines leads to imino-alkynes that undergo in situ 5-endo dig and 5-exo dig cyclization reactions, respectively. The products are 1,2,5-trisubstituted pyrroles accessed directly from readily available diyne starting materials.
Solvent-Free Conversion Of Alpha-Naphthaldehyde To 1-Naphthoic Acid And 1-Naphthalenemethanol: Application Of The Cannizzaro Reaction, John J. Esteb, Keith M. Glogorich, Stacey A. O'Reilly
Solvent-Free Conversion Of Alpha-Naphthaldehyde To 1-Naphthoic Acid And 1-Naphthalenemethanol: Application Of The Cannizzaro Reaction, John J. Esteb, Keith M. Glogorich, Stacey A. O'Reilly
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The Cannizzaro reaction is routinely covered in organic textbooks, but owing to the shortage of suitable procedures for the undergraduate teaching laboratory, this reaction is seldom performed in a first-year organic chemistry class. In this experiment, powdered potassium hydroxide and α-naphthaldehyde are heated under solvent-free conditions to produce 1-naphthoic acid and 1-naphthalenemethanol in 86% and 79% yields, respectively. The solvent-free nature of this procedure greatly reduces the quantity of waste generated by students relative to the typical solvent-based method of preparation.

Bismuth Compounds In Organic Synthesis. Bismuth Nitrate Catalyzed Chemoselective Synthesis Of Acylals From Aromatic Aldehydes, Ram Mohan, David Aggen, Joshua Arnold, Patrick Hayes, Nathaniel Smoter

Aromatic aldehydes are smoothly converted into the corresponding acylals in good yields in the presence of 3–10 mol% Bi(NO3)3•5H2O. Ketones are not affected under the reaction conditions. The relatively non-toxic nature of the catalyst, its ease of handling, easy availability and low cost make this procedure especially attractive for large-scale synthesis.
Environment-Friendly Organic Synthesis Using Bismuth Compounds. Bismuth Triflate Catalyzed Synthesis Of Substituted 3,4-Dihydro-2h-L-Benzopyrans, Ram Mohan, Mai Nguyen, Joshua Arnold, Katherine Peterson
Environment-Friendly Organic Synthesis Using Bismuth Compounds. Bismuth Triflate Catalyzed Synthesis Of Substituted 3,4-Dihydro-2h-L-Benzopyrans, Ram Mohan, Mai Nguyen, Joshua Arnold, Katherine Peterson
Scholarship
A highly catalytic method for the synthesis of dihydrobenzopyrans from salicylaldehydes has been developed. An extension of this method to the synthesis of a pyrano [2,3,b]benzopyran has also been achieved. Bi(OTf)3.xH2O (1< x < 4) (0.1mol%) smoothly catalyzes the condensation of substituted salicylaldehydes with 2,2-dimethoxypropane to give the corresponding substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrans as a mixture of diastereomers (9:1) in moderate yields. The relative configuration of the methoxy groups in the two diastereomers was established by NOE experiments. The advantages of this method include the use of an easy to handle, inexpensive and relatively non-toxic catalyst.
Simple Epoxide Formation For The Organic Laboratory Using Oxone, John J. Esteb
Simple Epoxide Formation For The Organic Laboratory Using Oxone, John J. Esteb
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
We present an epoxide formation experiment for a second-semester organic chemistry laboratory. This oxidation utilizes Oxone, a commercially available oxidizing agent, in the industrially relevant process of epoxide formation. The oxidant performing the oxidation is dimethyldioxirane, which is formed in situ. This experiment demonstrates a simple synthesis of an epoxide and formation of a secondary oxidizing agent.

A series of substituted 2-phenacyl-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-4-carboxylates were prepared from substituted acetophenones in 6 steps. The final condensations between a chloroenal and an aminoketone were carried out under neutral conditions in parallel to yield the series listed below. Selected pyrrole derivatives proved to be potent hypolipidemic agents lowering serum triglyceride concentrations in CF-1 male mice after 14 days of I.P. administration. One agent orally lowered serum cholesterol in Sprague-Dawley male rats at 2mg/kg/day after 14 days. The agents demonstrated a lowering of mouse serum LDL- cholesterol levels and selected compounds showed an elevation of serum HDL-cholesterol levels. The cholesterol concentrations in the …
