▼ Cage compounds have become an important tool for the study of biological processes. The research focuses on new cage compounds that can unmask functional groups present in biologically important molecules such as proteins, peptides, and oligonucleosides. The project focuses on certain functional groups that are often difficult to release photochemically. These are the thiolate groups present in cysteine residues of proteins and peptides. Thiolate groups are fairly basic leaving groups, unlike the more labile groups such as the carboxylates that are present in proteins and peptides, or the phosphate groups present in nucleosides. The research takes advantage of the ability of zwitterionic intermediates to release basic leaving groups such as the thiolates. The zwitterionic intermediates are generated photochemically by electrocyclic ring closure of aromatic carboxamides that has the chromophore attached to the amide nitrogen. Most importantly, the research utilizes a chromophore that absorbs visible light, so as to minimize the damaging effects that short-wavelength light has on tissue and cells. The research recognizes that triplet energy transfer from triplet excited state of the chromophore to the aromatic ring system attached to carboxamide carbonyl group must be exothermic in order for the electrocyclic ring closure to occur. For a thioxanthone chromophore (ET = 64 kcal mol-1), the aromatic ring system is a naphthothiophene ring system (ET = 62 kcal mol-1). The energy transfer would therefore be exothermic. This cage compound was synthesized with a 3-chloro leaving group. It undergoes photochemical electrocyclic ring closure and chloride expulsion in 50% yield after 1.5 h photolysis. The reaction qualitatively appears to be efficient. In comparison, a 5-benzoylthiophene aromatic ring system with 3-chloro group undergoes the same photoreaction in very low yields over 72 h, even though the triplet energy transfer is exothermic. In this case the photoproduct effectively competes for the incident light with the reactant. The research shows that the naphthothiophene ring system is a viable solution to the triplet energy transfer problem. It also points to a need to improve the solubility of the cage compound by incorporating one or more carboxylate groups into the naphthothiophene ring or the thioxanthone ring.

▼ Lignans are found as naturally occurring compounds in plants, and also as metabolites in mammals. Due to their biological activity, lignans have attracted the interest of scientists from different areas like food chemistry, synthetic chemistry, and clinical chemistry. The research is very active, as evident by the number of publications related to this subject that are published annually.
The present work focuses on the chemistry of certain classes of lignan, namely lignano-9,9'-lactones and their rearranged products. The literature review is based on the synthesis of lignano-9,9'-lactones and 7'-OH-lignano-9,9'-lactones. Both racemic and asymmetric protocols appeared as from year 2000 have been extensively reviewed. In addition, the literature concerning the rearrangement reaction of 7'-OH-lignano-9,9'-lactones have been discussed.
The experimental section presents the development of a stereoselective synthesis to obtain 7'-hydroxylignanolactones. Subsequently, the known rearrangement reactions affecting hydroxylignanolactones are discussed. The stereochemistry of certain lignanolactones is a core part of this work and the findings of this study allowed the revision of certain controversial data found in the literature. For the first time, the X-ray structures of 7'-OH-lignano-9,9'-lactones were obtained. In addition, the synthesis of possible lignan metabolites is also presented. A summary of the available 1H NMR data for selected (7'S)- and (7'R)-OH-lignano-9,9'-lactones and for various lignano-9,7'-lactone stereoisomers has been made available in the Appendix section.
Lignaanit ovat mielenkiintoinen ihmisen terveyteen vaikuttavien aineiden ryhmä, joita esiintyy luonnossa kasveissa, erityisesti hedelmissä ja vihanneksissa. Lignaaneihin kohdistuva tieteellinen mielenkiinto johtuu niiden moninaisista rakennevariaatioista, ja ennen kaikkea niiden monista biologisista vaikutuksista. Lignaanien perusrakenne koostuu kahdesta fenyylipropaaniyksiköstä, jotka ovat sitoutuneet toisiinsa C-C -sidoksella propaaniyksikköjen keskihiilien kautta. Rakenteellista monimuotoisuutta aiheuttavat muut C-C sidokset, hapetusasteen vaihtelut, ja sekä alifaattisiin että aromaattisiin hiiliatomeihin kiinnittyneet erilaiset substituentit. Kasvikunta käyttää lignaaneja sienten ja hyönteisten torjuntaan. Ajankohtaisempaa on lignaanien merkitys liittyen ihmisen terveyteen. Kirjallisuudessa on raportoitu syövän vastaisista, antioksidatiivisista, anti-inflammatorisista ja apoptoottisista vaikutuksista sekä virusten torjunnasta. Suurta mielenkiintoa ovat herättäneet ihmisistä löytyneet lignaanit, jotka ovat muodostuneet elimistön aineenvaihdunnan tuloksena ravinnon mukana nautituista kasvilignaanerista. Näillä uusilla enterolignaaneilla on havaittu suojaavaa vaikutusta moninaisia terveyden haittatiloja kohtaan, kuten eturauhas-, rinta-, suoli- ja muut syövät, sydän- ja verisuonitaudit, aivotaudit, menopaussioireet ja osteoporoosi. Enterolignaanien rakenne muistuttaa endogeenisen 17beta-estradiolihormonin rakennetta, ja enterolignaanien…

A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS INTRAMOLECULAR π-COMPLEXATION ON THE REACTIVITY OF TRANSIENT ARYL(3-BUTENYL)GERMYLENES.

▼ Three novel 1-aryl-1-(3-butenyl)germacyclopent-3-enes (26a, 26b and 26c) were synthesized and their photochemistry in hexane solution was studied by steady state and laser flash photolysis (LFP) methods. Steady state photolysis of 1-(3-butenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-1-phenylgermacyclopent-3- ene (26a) was found to proceed cleanly to afford the corresponding germylene derived product along with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (DMB) in the presence of acetic acid, methanol and isoprene, suggesting that free (3-butenyl)phenylgermylene (GeBuPh) is the primary photochemically generated species. However, we were unable to detect the germylene by laser flash photolysis with this compound, due to rapid “self –quenching” of the germylene by the precursor. The direct detection of the germylene in solution by laser flash photolysis requires the use of a more strongly absorbing derivative. Indeed, 3-butenylphenylgermylene (GeBuPh) was successfully detected directly by laser flash photolysis of 1-(3-butenyl)-3-methyl-1,4-diphenylgermacyclopent-3-ene (26b) in hexane solution, where it exhibits a UV-Vis absorption band centered at λmax= 490 nm and decays with second order kinetics on the microsecond timescale. In the absence of reactive substrates the decay of GeBuPh is accompanied by the growth of a second transient absorption, assigned to Ge2Bu2Ph2 (34) λmax = 420 nm; the assignment is based on a comparison to the laser flash photolysis of 1,3-dimethyl-1,4- diphenylgermacyclopent-3-ene (26d). Rate constants have been determined for reaction iv of the germylene with selected germylene substrates in order to evaluate the effects of intramolecular π-complexation on its reactivity. The results indicate that GeBuPh exhibits similar reactivity to GeMePh under otherwise identical experimental conditions, and thus show no significant indication of intramolecular π-complexation. With this in mind we have synthesized and studied 1-(3-butenyl)-3-methyl-4- phenyl-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]germacyclopent-3-ene (26c), which was designed to produce a more strongly electrophilic Ge(II) center in the corresponding germylene. The germylene 46 is detectable as a weakly absorbing transient species with λmax = 490 nm by laser flash photolysis of 26c in hexane solution. Generation of germylene 46 in the presence of THF leads to the formation of the corresponding Lewis acid base complex 48 at λmax = 330 nm. The reactivity of germylene 46 with selected substrates such as AcOH, THF and isoprene has been examined and the results compared to analogous data for the parent germylene GeBuPh. The forward rate constant for germylene 46 with acetic acid is slightly higher than that for GeBuPh, and no evidence for intramolecular complexation with the remote C=C bond could be obtained.

▼ Part I. Photocages, which are light cleavable protecting groups, are an important class of chemical tools that allow light to unmask bioactive substrates with precise spatiotemporal resolution in biological microenvironments. Due to their effectiveness in biological systems, it has become increasingly important to find logically designed photocages that can cleave under visible light and Near IR conditions, wavelengths with minimal phototoxicity and increased tissue penetration compared to ultraviolet light. The scope of this research is to both rationally design and synthesize a new class of photocage based on the BODIPY moiety, as well as to modify these photocages to absorb in region of the biological window (600-1000 nm), where tissues have maximal transparency.
In chapter 1, photocages derived from meso-substituted BODIPY dyes were synthesized that release acetic acid when irradiated with green wavelengths (>500 nm). The structures of the photocages were derived by computationally searching for carbocations with low-energy diradical states as a possible indicator of nearby productive conical intersections. These photocages were found to have superior optical properties than the popular o-nitrobenzyl systems, which make them promising alternatives. The utility of these photocages in living cells was successfully demonstrated by our collaborators (Prof. Emily Smith and Aleem Syed) in cultured S2 cells.
In Chapter 2, Knoevenagel type reactions were used to extend the π electron conjugation of the aromatic rings of the BODIPY photocages. This extended conjugation of these BODIPY photocages resulted in a bathochromic shift in absorbance towards red light (>600 nm) and allows cleavage using wavelengths in the biological window.
Part II. Self-immolative linkers can be used to trigger the release of an important cargo molecule like a drug or a biomolecule. A variety of trigger stimulants including light, chemo and enzyme are known in literature. However, there is a need for new linker units which would have fast and controllable kinetics of cargo release. During my research, I identified improved self-immolative linker units based on aryl phthalate esters with a modular design, which can tolerate a range of different trigger and cargo units.
In Chapter 3, new types of self-immolative linkers based on the phenyl hydrogen phthalate system were synthesized. The fast kinetic rate for the hydrolysis of phenyl hydrogen phthalate system and the resulting benign byproducts promise a robust self-immolative linker system that can be used in biological systems. The linker system was shown to release phenol based cargo molecules including phenol and coumarin dyes upon cleavage by a fluoride sensitive trigger. This type of linker can also be potentially used as an efficient fluoride sensor.
In Chapter 4, the scope of self-immolative linkers based on phenyl hydrogen phthalate system was extended. Light and peroxide sensitive triggers were incorporated into the linker system. Coumarin based cargo molecules were used as reporter…

▼ This thesis describes the synthesis and intramolecular cycloaddition products of azides tethered to olefins bearing a heteroatom in an attempt to access a proposed triazolium intermediate 77. Chapter 1 covers the synthesis and reactivity of simple di- and trisubstituted azidoalkyl enol ethers. These substrates were found to provide isolable 1,2,3-triazoline products, but displayed a propensity to aromatise to 1,2,3-triazoles upon ionisation. Difficulties in synthesising fully-substituted azidoalkyl enol ethers have precluded a detailed study in this project, though a bias towards α-alkoxy imine formation was suggested. Chapter 2 covers the chemistry of azidoalkyl vinyl bromides. Simple vinyl bromide substrates were found to yield 1-azadienes upon thermolysis, presumably via the dehydrobromination of an α-bromo imine intermediate in situ. In Chapter 3, a brief diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the potent reactivity of 1-azadiene substrates. 1-Azadienes were found to be versatile intermediates, and a small DOS library was built by exploiting several key reactivity modes. In Chapter 4, two miscellaneous routes towards the desired triazolium intermediate are discussed, and finally an Appendix chapter deals with an attempted total synthesis of salinosporamide C.

Platform approach to diversification: bio-based methyl coumalate to functionalized aromatics via a Diels-Alder strategy.

▼ The chemical industry relies on crude oil to manufacture the vast majority of chemicals. However, the increasing demand cannot be supported with the simultaneous decrease in natural crude oil reserves and increasing prices. Green chemistry solutions may resolve the issue utilizing biorenewable feedstocks, especially for the functionalized aromatic compounds that are ubiquitous in a wide variety of consumer materials. The atom economical Diels-Alder reaction installs two carbon-carbon bonds with high levels of regio-, chemo-, and stereocontrol, which was effectively utilized in a platform approach.
Through metabolic engineering, glucose can be converted to malic acid. Afterwards, dimerization and esterification provided the 2-pyrone methyl coumalate as a platform molecule for the methodology. Although unactivated alkenes resulted in aromatic compounds, palladium was required, and with electron-deficient alkene dienophiles, mixtures of regioisomers were observed. In contrast, we developed an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder/elimination domino methodology from methyl coumalate with electron-rich olefins to regioselectively furnish diverse aromatic compounds.
Vinyl ether dienophiles provided a broad range of aromatic compounds, which were equipped with an alkoxy leaving group to facilitate aromatization without a catalyst. The scope was expanded with readily prepared acetal and orthoester dienophile equivalents that could be utilized in crude form. As practical bench-stable compounds, elimination occurred under the thermal conditions to reveal the dienophile. The metal-free, one-pot domino sequence efficiently provided high yields and regioselectivities for the desired aromatic compounds. The expansive range of accessible aromatic compounds through the methodology included carbazoles, tricyclic, fused, anisole, and biphenyl systems. Notably, captodative dienophile derivatives from methyl pyruvate provided a 100% biorenewable formal synthesis to terephthalic acid with dimethyl terephthalate as the intermediate. As commodity co-monomers for poly(ethylene terephthalate), the green methodology was further optimized to remove the reaction solvent and recrystallize the product in up to 95% yield. In summary, methyl coumalate represents a convenient bio-based platform for diverse aromatics which fulfills many green chemistry principles in the progress toward a sustainable future.

▼ Organic semiconductors have attracted much attention as alternatives to silicon based photovoltaic technology. Currently, the best power conversion efficiencies use small molecules and conjugated polymers as the active materials. These materials consist of alternating electron-rich and electron-deficient units for use as donor materials in organic photovoltaic cells, organic light emitting diodes and organic field-effect transistors. Through a better understanding of solar cell physics, improvement in device engineering as well as development of new heterocycles, further improvements in solar cell efficiencies can be made. Azoles have recently been investigated for use as electron-deficient building blocks. Incorporation of benzobisazoles and pyridalthiadiazoles as electron-deficient units for use in conjugated polymers and small molecules has shown much promise with PCE's exceeding 3% and 6% respectively. Development, synthesis and characterization, structure-property relationships, and solar cell efficiencies of polymers comprising new electron rich building blocks and electron deficient azoles for use in organic photovoltaic cells have been studied in this dissertation.

▼ Given the ambident reactivity of oxindoles in terms of
N- versus C-alkylation, realization of the three points of
diversity available to (presumably benzenoid substituted)
benzylidene oxindoles is normally achieved via a sequence involving
initial N-alkylation of the corresponding isatin precursor,
reductive deoxygenation to the N-alkylated oxindole, and finally
aldol condensation to the desired target. Since benzenoid
substituted isatins are generally more readily available than the
corresponding oxindoles, an alternate but much less examined
manifold involves reduction of the isatin to an oxindole,
aldolization at the C-3 position followed by N-alkylation of the
resultant benzylidene oxindole. Since benzylidene oxindoles have
potential beyond that of kinase inhibitors (which have a strict
requirement of a free N-H moiety) one of the goals of our research
program has been to develop a method for N-alkylation of
benzylidene oxindoles for a variety of pharmaceutical as well as
imaging purposes. An overarching stratagem of this design concept
was to achieve this goal through a libraries from libraries
approach, wherein sub-libraries of precursor compounds can be
prepared and screened for alternative applications before
subjecting these compounds to further elaboration for subsequent
screens in terms of other applications. The key reaction process
detailed herein involving the N-alkylation of benzylidene oxindoles
is a reaction that has seen only limited usage and sometimes only
as the first step in a multi-step sequence (without isolation or
characterization of the initial alkylated product). This study
demonstrates the effectiveness of KF/alumina as a base for this
purpose and the application of the methodology for the introduction
of linker groups for use as potential imaging agents.

▼ AGAs are clinically important antibacterials for human therapy and have long been used as highly potent antibiotics for treating several bacterial infections. The fidelity of protein synthesis is affected by AGAs in the course of binding to specific sites of the bacterial rRNA. The clinical use of AGAs and their applications as therapeutics is restricted by toxicity (irreversible ototoxicity and reversible nephrotoxicity) and by the resistance of pathogens. The objective of this research was the development of proficient AGAs that are less toxic (i.e., more selective) and that evade resistance. The first three chapters of this thesis are aimed towards developing new aminoglycoside antibiotics with the emphasis on their chemical synthesis, and the biological evaluation of newly synthesized analogues, as well as the exploration of structure-activity relationships to understand the mechanism of their antimicrobial activity. In particular, studies have focused on the modification of the aminoglycosides apramycin and paromomycin so as to develop the next generation of potent AGAs. Chapter two reveals the importance of the 6' and <i>N</i>7' positions of the apramycin by investigation of the antibacterial activity and antiribosomal activity of the ten apramycin derivatives which were synthesized by modifying these locations. The effect of such modifications on antiribosomal activity is discussed in terms of their influence on drug binding to specific residues in the decoding A site. This information is useful in the development of a structure activity relationship for the antibacterial activity of the apramycin class of aminoglycosides and will also assist in the future design and development of more active and less toxic aminoglycoside antibiotics. Chapter three describes the structure-based design of an improved paromomycin derivative which carries an apramycin-like bicyclic ring I and a conformationally restricted hydroxyl or amine functionality. The influence of the bicyclic paromomycin 6'-hydroxy or amine groups on the binding pattern between AGA and bacterial RNA was investigated by using cell free translational assays. It was found that the bicyclic paromomycin derivative 155 with the equatorial 6’-hydroxy group has a better activity profile than parent paromomycin. In chapter four, an efficient sialyl donor was developed for the challenging α-sialylation by means of a highly electron withdrawing isothiocyanato group incorporated at C-5 position sialic acid. The isothiocyanato sialyl donor 218 proved to be an excellent α-directing group in sialylation for a wide range of acceptors, and provided high yields. Further, the sialylation of corresponding sialyl phosphate donor 231 was also demonstrated to give excellent selectivity, but yields are lower due to competing elimination. In addition, the rich chemistry of isothiocyanate functionality is explored to introduce a variety of novel functionalities at the 5-position of the sialosides including deamination, an alkyl…

▼ Dysfunction of dopaminergic receptor signaling in the brain is a hallmark of a number of neurodegenerative pathologies. Of the five dopamine receptors, the D3 subtype has emerged as a promising target for treating neurodegenerative diseases, especially Parkinson’s disease, due to the specific distribution of this receptor in limbic and nigrostriatal brain regions known to be associated with motor functions. Not only have D 3-selective agonists shown positive effects in re-establishing control of motor activity in animals, but they also display neuroprotective activity and may be important in reducing the dyskinesia side-effect often seen with current non-selective dopaminergic therapies. Herein we report the extension of our previous studies of racemic 3-hydroxyphenyl pyrrolidines to their chiral analogues. We have used our best racemic D3 ligand, <i>N</i>-nonyl-3-hydroxyphenyl pyrrolidine <b>74</b> (Ki = 13 nM), as starting point. Synthesis, characterization and D3 receptor affinity of both the <i>R</i>- and <i> S</i>-enantiomer of <b>74</b> will be reported. In addition, we will describe SAR studies of new chiral <i>N</i>-functionalized-3-hydroxyphenylpyrrolidines (based upon the steric requirements of compound <b>74</b> in which the <i> N</i>-substituent has been designed to engage key residues in the secondary binding site of the D3 receptor to enhance affinity and selectivity.

▼ This dissertation describes our efforts toward developing a unified synthesis of the kalininane family of antimalarial marine isocyanoterpenes. Chapter 1 focuses on the isolation, structure determination, subclass specification, biological activity, and proposed biogenesis of the kalihinanes. Additionally, methods for the synthesis of isonitriles and previous syntheses of kalihinanes and related isocyanoterpenes are described.Chapter 2 describes our divergent synthetic plan, featuring an oxa Michael/Robinson annulation sequence and a Piers-type annulation for the rapid synthesis of the decalin framework of the kalihinanes. This strategy was validated with a formal synthesis of 10 isocyano 4 cadinene, and was subsequently applied toward the synthesis of kalihinanes bearing a pendant tetrahydropyran (kalihinol A) or tetrahydrofuran (kalihinol B). While the synthesis of the tetrahydropyran-containing kalihinanes has yet to be accomplished, our efforts toward tetrahydrofuran-containing kalihinanes culminated in the first synthesis of kalihinol B. An unexpected hydride shift has thwarted efforts to extend the synthesis to other tetrahydrofuran containing kalihinanes.Chapter 3 focuses on the application of our strategy to the synthesis of unnatural kalihinane analogues. Several analogues have been prepared and subjected to an antiplasmodial assay. All of the synthetic isocyanoterpenes exhibited antiplasmodial activity against drug sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum (IC50 < 1.2 µM). Furthermore, kalihinane-based small-molecule probes have been prepared, and will be used for protein profiling in P. falciparum.

(more)
▼ High molecular weight and highly-charged biomolecules are emerging as drugs with high selectivity and efficacy; however, new strategies are needed to improve their efficiency and targeted delivery in biological systems. One potential solution is the conjugation or association of the biologic with a molecular transporter. Inspired by proteins, such as HIV-Tat, with cellular translocation abilities, numerous guanidinium-rich molecular transporters have been synthesized from a diverse range of nonpeptidic scaffolds. While their repertoire has expanded tremendously in the past two decades, new transporters can provide unique intracellular distributions, targeting effects, or pharmacological properties. Polymyxin B is a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic containing five primary amines and a hydrophobic tail that has not been exploited as a delivery module. Here, we synthesized functionalized derivatives of polymyxin and its per-guanidinylated derivative and evaluated their cellular uptake in mammalian cells. Both polymyxin and its guanidinylated form effectively enter mammalian cells at nanomolar concentrations and can facilitate the cellular delivery of large biomolecules and liposomal assemblies. Guanidinoglycosides are a non-oligomeric class of molecular transporters developed in our lab that permeate the cell membrane through heparan sulfate-dependent pathways at low nanomolar concentrations. To further advance guanidinoglycosides as transporters, guanidinylated neomycin (GNeo) derivatives containing different fatty acids were synthesized and incorporated into liposomes. A small molecule dye or a lysosomal enzyme were encapsulated in the liposomes and delivered to Chinese hamster ovary cells or human fibroblasts, respectively. Incorporation of stearyl- or di-oleyl-GNeo lipids into liposomes resulted in the greatest enhancement of uptake. The delivery of α-L-iduronidase, a lysosomal enzyme, was able to restore enzyme function in fibroblasts lacking endogenous enzyme. As an alternative approach to enhance GNeo as a molecular transporter, oligomers of GNeo were synthesized using ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The synthesis of the reactive monomer, formation of GNeo oligomers, and preliminary cellular uptake studies are presented. In addition to using GNeo for new delivery systems, we also sought to explore the effect the linker connecting the cargo to the carrier has on conjugation and uptake. Varying the length and hydrophobic properties of the linker joining GNeo to biotin resulted in diverse conjugation efficiencies to streptavidin and differences in cellular uptake, highlighting the importance of the linker when designing and studying new molecular transporters.

▼ Identifying enzyme mechanisms at proton level resolution is the ultimate goal of enzymology. Traditional enzyme mechanistic studies infer protonation states from x-ray crystal structure and optical spectroscopy. This thesis reports work towards the first synergistic combination of x-ray crystallography, computational chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry and solid-state NMR to fully elucidate, at proton level resolution, the full three-dimensional structure of the catalytic site for Tryptophan synthase during active catalysis. Specifically, this thesis describes solutions to the synthetic challenges of introducing site-specific isotopic labels inside the cofactor Pyridoxal-5’-Phosphate (PLP) and highlights a synthetic route that is consistently more cost-effective and higher yielding than previous efforts. The second project presented focuses on efforts towards the synthesis of cannabinoids, cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Presently, cannabinoids have emerged as compounds of interest for a variety of pharmacologic indications. Although stereochemically simple compounds, economical syntheses of enantiopure cannabinoids remain elusive. Strategies to address facile syntheses of THC and CBD, as well as their analogs, will be presented.

▼ Transannular Diels-Alder (TADA) reactions are a powerful tool for the construction of polycyclic structures with four stereogenic centers. A series of remarkably facile and stereoselective TADA reactions was observed experimentally by Merlic and coworkers. In this thesis, the mechanism was modeled quantum mechanically and the controlling factors of the high stereoselectivity and reactivity of TADA were determined for these reactions and the analogous bimolecular and intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions.

▼ Chemistry
Organic nitrogen containing chiral compounds are widely found in nature, and a number of them exhibit important biological and medicinal properties. The main objective of this research is to develop new methods for the asymmetric synthesis of cocaine analogues having methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), n-propyl (n-Pr), n-pentyl (n-C5H11) and phenyl (Ph) groups at the C-1 bridgehead position. The second project concerned the asymmetric synthesis of anti-α-alkyl substituted beta-amino esters, a new chiral building block, utilizing chiral sulfinimine (N-sulfinyl imine) chemistry. The easy availability and abuse of (R)-(-)-cocaine is a global problem and has resulted in many efforts aimed at the preparation of therapeutically useful cocaine analogues. However, to date analogues of cocaine for the treatment of cocaine addiction have not been reported. The requirement of a cis relationship between C-2 and C-3 substituents in the cocaine tropane skeleton where C-2 carbomethoxy group occupies the thermodynamically unfavorable axial position is the main reason for the difficulty in designing efficient asymmetric syntheses of cocaine analogues. In this study, diastereomerically pure N-sulfinyl beta-amino esters were prepared by the addition of the sodium enolate of methyl acetate to masked oxo sulfinimines, novel sulfinimines having a protected carbonyl group. Reduction of the beta-amino esters gave the corresponding beta-amino aldehydes and a Roush-Masamune modified Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction afforded the trans-N-sulfinyl alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-amino esters in good yield. Acid hydrolysis of the esters unmasked the carbonyl group and deprotected the amines resulting in an intramolecular cyclization to produce the key dehydropyrrolidines. Regioselective oxidation of the dehydropyrrolidines using catalytic methyl trioxorhenium and urea-hydrogen peroxide gave the corresponding pyrrolidine nitrones in excellent yield. On heating with the Lewis acid catalyst Al(O-t-Bu)3 the nitrones underwent a novel, stereospecific, intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reaction to give tricyclic isoxazolidines. Importantly, the isoxazolidine establishes the necessary cis relationship between C-2 and C-3 substituents in cocaine skeleton. The tricyclic isoxazolidines were readily converted to the N-Me quaternary ammonium salts on heating with methylmethanesulfonate and hydrogenolysis with Pd/C at 1 atm of H2 cleave the N-O bond to afford the ecgonine methyl ester, the tropane alcohol. In contrast to other C-3 (R = Me, Et, n-Pr, Ph) isoxazolidine quaternary ammonium salts, the C-3 n-C5H11 analogue did not undergo N-O bond cleavage under the hydrogenolysis conditions. This analogue rearrange to a bridged bicyclic [4.2.1]isoxazolidine. It was found that all C-3 isoxazolidine N-Me quaternary ammonium salts undergo this rearrangement on treatment with triethylamine. Fortunately, hydrogenolysis of n-C5H11 isoxazolidine quaternary ammonium salt at 4 atm of H2 cleaved the N-O bond to give the desired alcohol, ecgonine methyl ester.…

▼ Arginase is a manganese-containing enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine to yield L-ornithine and urea. It has been suggested that inhibition of arginase could be of therapeutic utility, and an arginase inhibitor is currently in phase I clinical trials for a variety of cancer subtypes. To date, the most promising inhibitors reported in the literature are α,α-disubstituted arginine analogs with a boronic acid warhead in place of the substrate guanidine group. However, the stereoselective approaches reported to date for this class of compounds have significant limitations and novel methods are needed. This research investigates two approaches: a route towards α,α-disubstituted amino acids via the enzyme-catalyzed desymmetrization of a meso diester and the utilization of the Petasis borono-Mannich reaction as an alternate enantioselective route for mono-substituted analogs.

▼ The aim of this project was to increase the calcium binding affinity of our previously developed photochromic 3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran <b>1,</b> a light-controlled reversible binding switch used to study the effects of cellular calcium oscillations. A naphthopyran derivative <b>2</b> containing electron donating aryl substituents is the current synthetic target. We hypothesize that due to increased electron density to the chelating oxygen via methoxy aryl substituents, the methoxy substituents would provide an increased binding affinity of the photochemically ring-opened form of naphthopyran derivative <b> 2</b> compared to that of naphthopyran derivative <b>1</b>. The modification on the aryl substituents of naphthopyran derivative 1 should maintain a 10-fold difference in binding affinity between the thermally stable closed and higher binding affinity open form. Ultimately, it is expected that the aryl substituted naphthopyran derivative <b>2</b> would be a more efficient tool to study cellular oscillatory calcium signaling at a molecular level. Progress towards the synthesis of target molecule <b>2</b> concluded with the synthesis of intermediate compounds <b>3–7.</b> N-BOC naphthopyran <b> 3</b> and propargyl alcohol <b>4</b> were synthesized with yields of 55–59 % and 70–83 % respectively. N-BOC naphthopyran <b> 5</b> was produced at 81 % yield. N-BOC deprotection afforded naphthopyran <b> 6</b> at 91 % yield. Esterification yielded alkylated naphthopyran <b> 7</b> at 25 % purified yield.

▼ Artificial metalloenzymes are an important class of hybrid catalysts for enantioselective, regioselective and chemoselective organic transformations. Despite several limitations associated with this type of hybrid catalysts system and their limited development relative to small molecule catalysts, significant advances have been achieved over the past few decades. This thesis describes the background, applicability of such hybrid catalysts, anchoring strategies and methods involved in the improvement of catalytic activities of artificial metalloenzymes. The generation of a thermostable human carbonic anhydrase mutant, activity determination, generation of an artificial metalloenzyme (manganese-substituted human carbonic anhydrase) and its use as a catalyst for enantioselective epoxidation of olefins is also described.

▼ This dissertation describes investigations toward the development of a new
chemistry for the block synthesis of peptides and peptidyl thioesters. A direct approach for the Fmoc-SPPS of peptidyl thioesters is also delineated in this thesis.
In the first part of chapter one, the difficulty and importance of chemical synthesis of peptides is explained, and a brief survey of available methods is given. The second part of chapter one presents the challenges inherent in the synthesis of peptidyl thioesters by Fmoc-SPPS.
The second chapter outlines the investigations conducted towards the development of a new
chemistry for epimerization-free block synthesis of peptides from thioacids and amines by a process involving the in situ formation of highly active thioesters by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of C-terminal thioacids on electron-deficient halogenoarenes. The superiority of this new
chemistry over available methods is illustrated through direct comparisons in the block synthesis of an octapeptide.
In chapter three, studies carried out to probe the reactivity of N-terminal sulfonamides towards peptidyl thioacids are presented. Studies directed at determining the optimal sulfonamide for use in convergent multiple peptide fragment ligation are presented as is the application of these sulfonamides in both left to right and right to left block synthesis of peptides.. Model studies on the development of an intramolecular variant of the thioacid/sulfonamide coupling are also presented in this chapter.
Continuing the theme, Chapter 4 presents studies undertaken with the goal of developing a direct method for the efficient synthesis of peptidyl thioesters by the widely used Fmoc-SPPS
chemistry. A method to construct the thioester functionality from thioamides is described based on alkylation to give an intermediate thioimide and its subsequent hydrolysis. The application of this methodology to the synthesis of functionality diverse oligo-peptide thioesters is also presented.
In chapter five, the overall conclusions of the dissertation are presented, while in chapter six, the experimental procedures and characterization data for the synthesized compounds are documented.

Synthesis of Subtype Selective Bz/GABAA Receptor Ligands for the Treatment of Anxiety, Epilepsy and Neuropathic Pain, as Well as Schizophrenia and Asthma.

▼ The α2/α3 subtype selective Bz/GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator HZ-166 (3) has been shown to be a nonsedating anxiolytic with anticonvulsant and antihyperalgesic activity. However, instability in vitro and in vivo has hindered its advancement into clinical trials. A series of ligands based off HZ-166 (3) were synthesized. Many of these ligands were designed to increase metabolic stability, while others were synthesized to study the effects that electronics and sterics have on the efficacy exerted when bound to the GABAA receptor. The α3 subtype selective methyl ester MP-III-024 (19) was shown to have increased resistance to metabolism in in vitro liver microsomal studies and exhibited significant anxiolytic and antihyperalgesic effects in mice without showing signs of sedation. However, pharmacokinetic studies indicated that esters as a functional group may not be suitable for extensive preclinical studies.
A series of heterocyclic bioisosteres were synthesized to specifically overcome short half-lives in vivo. The oxadiazole MP-III-080 (34) and oxazole KRM-II-81 (36) underwent pharmacokinetic studies and were both found to exist in plasma and brain samples in high levels. These results indicated that these and related heterocycles would be stable in vivo to undergo extensive preclinical trials. A dozen ligands were assessed in vivo in an anxiolytic marble burying assay and a rotarod assay designed to measure ataxic effects. The results from these studies and other in vitro protocols led to additional studies using KRM-II-81 (36). This oxazole 36 was found to exhibit significant anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties, including reducing network firing rate frequency in human brain tissue from a patient suffering from resistance epilepsy. In addition, KRM-II-81 (36) was found to be more efficacious than gabapentin to reverse the effects of hyperalgesia in a neuropathic pain model at a lower dose using rats, as well as exhibiting antidepressant-like effects.
The α5 GABAA receptor subtype has been linked to the cognitive disorders in such diseases as schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder and major depressive disorder. The enantiomers SH-053-2'F-S-CH3 (51) and SH-053-2'F-R-CH3 (52) have been shown to be α2/α3/α5- and α5- subtype selective agonists, respectively. Both ligands (S)-51 and (R)-52 have been shown to reduce some positive symptoms of schizophrenia; the S-enantiomer 51 was active in the poly(I:C) model of schizophrenia while the R-enantiomer 52 was active in the MAM-model of schizophrenia. Due to the high rate of comorbidity of schizophrenia with anxiety, epilepsy and depression, the S-enatiomer (51) is shown here to be useful in these instances exhibiting anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties. In addition, work on analogs of 52 produced MP-III-004 (63), an α5 subtype selective ligand with reduced efficacy at the α1, α2 and α3 subtypes as compared to 52, as well as the very potent α5 positive allosteric modulator MP-III-022 (65). This methyl amide 65 was shown to activate α5…

▼ N-acetyl neuraminic acid is most common member of the sialic acid family. This unique monosaccharide is displayed at the terminal position of oligosaccharides in glycoproteins and glycolipids on outer surface of a cell membrane. The biological features of N-acetyl neuraminic acid involve cell-cell interactions in immunogenesis, as well as pathogens attacks, and overexpression in cancer cells. The synthesis of sialic acid containing glycoconjugates is essential for a better understating of their biological function, as well as for the design of therapeutics. In addition, to the limitations of the enzymatic approach, chemical synthesis of these glycosidic linkages offer the opportunity to large scale isolation of common as well as uncommon oligosaccharides. However, the stereocontrolled synthesis of sialic acid containing glycoconjugates is undoubtedly one of the most challenging research goals in the carbohydrate synthetic field. In particular, little is known on the effect of O-protecting groups in sialylation reactions. Recently we proved that a picoloyl group at C-4 can indeed favor an alpha sialylation if in the presence of an excess of triflic acid. Excellent stereoselectivities and yields were obtained with a wide range of galactosyl acceptors. As a natural evolution of this finding, we decided to investigate the effect of picoloyl at other positions, as well stereoselectivities and yield in sialylations when di-picoloylated sialic acid donors are used. Herein we report a systematic investigation of the regioselective introduction of picoloyl groups as well as the synthesis of a 7,8 di-picoloylated donor. The latter, when tested in sialylation reactions, gave exceptionally high yields and stereoselectivities.

▼ I. An environmentally responsible, mild method for the synthesis of functionalized 1,3-butadienes is presented. It utilizes allenic esters of varying substitution patterns, as well as a wide range of boron-based nucleophiles under palladium catalysis, generating sp–sp2, sp2–sp 2, and sp2–sp3 bonds. Functional group tolerance measured via robustness screening, along with room temperature and aqueous reaction conditions highlight the methodology’s breadth and potential utility in synthesis. II. A mild method for the synthesis of highly functionalized [3]–[6]dendralenes is reported, representing a general strategy to diversely substituted higher homologues of the dendralenes. The methodology utilizes allenoates bearing various substitution patterns, along with a wide range of boron and alkenyl nucleophiles that couple under palladium catalysis leading to sp-, sp 2-, and sp3-substituted arrays. Regioselective transformations of the newly formed unsymmetrical dendralene derivatives are demonstrated. The use of micellar catalysis, where water is the global reaction medium, and room temperature reaction conditions, highlights the green nature of this technology. III. A copper-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of electron-rich olefins into their corresponding carbonyl derivatives is described as an alternative to ozonolysis. The scope includes various precursors to aryl ketone derivatives, as well as oxidations of enol ethers bearing atypical alkyl and dialkyl substitution, the first of their kind among such metal catalyzed alkene cleavage reactions. The use of an inexpensive copper salt, room temperature conditions, an aerobic atmosphere, and water as the global reaction medium highlight the green features of this new method. Associated mechanistic investigations are also presented.

▼ Nitrogen-containing heterocycles have great utility in the biomedical and medicinal fields and one such heterocycle is the 5-membered pyrrolidine ring. The synthesis of pyrrolidine rings has been studied extensively with the routes relying on anodic oxidation, transition metals and dipolar cycloadditions with azomethine ylides. Previous work in the Waters group has been focused on new routes to azomethine ylides through a domino sequence. Through a thermal aza-Cope rearrangement followed by [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition the synthesis of a library of 2-allyl pyrrolidines was accomplished. It was discovered that by using allylic amines and glyoxals at room temperature a cycloadduct was isolated bearing a 5-vinyl moiety.
The results were promising and the first part of the project was to optimize the reaction followed by substrate scope expansion to build a library of compounds. The new cycloadducts could not have been synthesized under traditional methods due to side reactivity difficulties and therefore this work circumvents the problems associated with the classical routes. This is the first report of azomethine ylides derived from allylic amines and glyoxals to date. Many cycloadducts were synthesized and they all contained the 5-alkenyl group with many of them closely matching pyrrolidine containing natural products.
The natural product, spirotryprostatin B, is an ideal target for featuring the developed methodology in total synthesis. Spirotryprostatin B was found to inhibit the G2/M phase in the cell replication pathway, suggesting a possible anti-cancer treatment. Using allylamine, ethyl glyoxylate, and appropriate dipolarophile under the optimized reaction conditions would afford a highly substituted cycloadduct that could be transformed into the final target. The core of the structure was synthesized in just three steps with only two steps requiring purification. The regio- and stereochemistry of the cycloadducts were analyzed using NOE enhancement and DFT studies to conclude that the [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition proceeded through the exo transition state.
The total synthesis of the anti-cancer compound peducularine was also studied. Many different dipolarophiles were tested, but the ideal dipolarophile was not identified. The results of these experiments were important in defining the scope of the methodology.

▼ Glycosylation, being the key reaction of glycobiology and carbohydrate
chemistry, demands robust and stereoselective glycosylation methods. The rational development of such methods necessitates knowledge of the glycosylation reaction mechanism and the factors influencing glycosylation reactions. The work discussed in this dissertation is focused on studying glycosylation reaction mechanisms and exploring the key factors influencing them.
Chapter one reviews the background to the research, starting with a brief introduction of the significance of carbohydrates as structural and energy-storage materials. The significance of cell surface carbohydrates and their roles in communication and related processes are discussed along with examples of their applications in biology and therapeutics. Approaches to the synthesis of carbohydrates, glycosylation reactions, and their mechanisms are then discussed. The stability of glycosyl oxocarbenium ions and the influence of protecting groups on oxocarbenium ions are also discussed. This chapter ends with a short description of neighboring group participation.
Chapter two describes the synthesis of a series of oxabicyclo[4.4.0]decane type compounds as models representing the ideal gg, gt, and tg conformations of the pyranoside side chain, and the derivation of experimental limiting coupling constants from them. The preparation of the model compounds, NMR analysis, triage of some compounds on the grounds of lack of conformational purity, derivation of correction factors, and finally, the application of limiting coupling constants in the calculation of side chain population are described. The absence of negative populations on the application of the limiting coupling constants to a series of literature compounds reveals the reliability of the new limiting data set.
Chapter three discusses the influence of protecting groups on the modulation of side chain conformation and the subsequent impact on the glycosylation reactions. The synthesis of a series of 4-O-derivatives of galacto- and glucopyranosides and 6-O- derivatives of glucopyranosides, their NMR analysis, and calculation of their side chain populations, and their correlation with the anomeric reactivity are discussed. Both aroyl and alkanoyl esters modulate the side chain population and moderate the electron withdrawing effects of the ester, whereas, the 4-O-esters of glucopyranosides change the side chain conformation to support the electron withdrawing effect of the ester. In both the galacto- and glucopyranose 4-O-series, highly electron withdrawing esters, such as trifluoroacetyl and trichloroacetyl esters, modulate the side chain conformation to reinforce the electron withdrawing effect of the esters. The glucopyranose 6-O-series did not show any significant modulatory effects as a function of protecting groups. Overall, this study reveals small but consistent changes in the side chain population, with corresponding small influences on glycosylation reactions.

Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes have been frequently employed in the caging and photorelease of biologically active compounds. Traditional photocaging groups derived from Ru(II) have been largely based on bi- or tridentate ancillary ligands, and those bearing ancillary ligands with high-denticities are yet to be developed. Exploring Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes possessing ancillary ligands with high-denticities provides insight into the photophysical and photochemical properties of ruthenium complexes, which creates novel prospects in the design of ruthenium complexes applicable towards photoactivated drug delivery and energy conversion.In this thesis, we present a series of Ru(II)-based photocages derived from tetradentate ancillary ligands TPA and cyTPA that have been developed as effective photocaging groups for nitriles and aromatic heterocycles. All complexes exhibit excellent stability in the dark and selectively release the caged nitriles and aromatic heterocycles upon irradiation with light. My findings contribute to showing that Ru(TPA) is appropriate as a photochemical agent to offer precise control over biological activity without undesired toxicity. In addition, the results in this thesis reveal a transtype effect that significantly promotes ligand photodissociation in Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes,where a complex presents a highly mixed 3MCLT/3pp* excited state as the lowest triplet state to achieve an efficient photoinduced ligand exchange. Such an unusual manner offers a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of ligand photodissociation, which can be used to design
ruthenium complexes for the applications that require efficient ligand dissociation, such as drug delivery. Furthermore, in order to control CYP activity and to achieve photoactivated CYP inhibition, a series of new Ru(II)-caged CYP inhibitors that effectively liberate CYP inhibitors upon irradiation with low-energy light are described in this thesis. The complexes show strong absorption in the visible range but remain stable in the dark. Photoreleased CYP inhibitors are demonstrated to be capable of undergoing a Type II binding to inactivate CYP activity, and the photo byproducts are non-toxic and well-tolerated by cells. Taken together, this thesis addressed the necessity of the development of Ru(II)-based photocaging groups with high-denticity ancillary ligands for caging nitriles and aromatic heterocycles, and the thesis also established the design and synthesis of Ru(II)-caged CYP inhibitors for controlling CYP activity spatiotemporally with lowenergy ight.

▼ This dissertation describes the development of alternative products from the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The first chapter provides an introduction to the CuAAC through the historic timeline of the development of reaction conditions. Finally the current mechanistic understanding and three applications of the commonly used reaction are described. The second chapter describes a method for the preparation of 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles directly from
organic azides and terminal alkynes. The reaction is mediated by in-situ generated copper(I) catalyst and iodinating agents. The method described is a follow-up of the protocol developed by Dr. Brotherton in 2012. The methodological enhancements of the procedure described in Chapter 2 provides high conversion as well as high iodo/protio selectivity through the reduction in equivalents of alkyne, and employment of [Tri(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]amine (TBTA). Through these improvements the method became more synthetically practical and increased the reaction substrate scope to include unreactive azides and alkynes. Chapter three describes the synthesis of 5,5’-bis(1,2,3-triazole)s (bistriazoles). These compounds have been proposed to be employed as chiral ligands in enantioselective synthesis. Previously reported methods for the synthesis of bistriazoles mainly require decreased reaction temperatures (0-35 °C) and long reaction times (20-48 hours) while applying a limited substrate scope. The method described in Chapter 3 is a simple and rapid process for the synthesis of bistriazoles from
organic azides and terminal alkynes under oxidative conditions ( oxygen atmosphere) with a broad substrate scope. The reactions are mediated by copper(II) acetate, and completed within 3 hours, with ≥ 50% isolated yields. TBTA has been employed in the CuAAC to accelerate the formation of 1,2,3-triazoles, in addition TBTA accelerates the formation of bistriazoles. Employing K2CO3 as a basic additive in MeOH or EtOH as the solvent promotes the oxidative reaction that produces the bistriazole at the expense of the 1,2,3-triazole. In Chapter 4 the initial development of 5-alkynyl-1,2,3-triazoles is reported. The previously reported methods require extended reaction times with varying temperature (rt-60 °C) with a limited substrate scope. The method described in Chapter 4 is a simple and rapid process for the synthesis of 5-alkyny-1,2,3-triazoels from
organic azides and terminal alkynes under oxidative conditions (oxygen atmosphere) with a developing substrate scope. The reactions are mediated by copper(II) acetate, completed within 3-5 hours, and produce ≥ 50% isolated yields. Employing 1,5-diazolbicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) as the basic additive in MeOH or EtOH as the solvent promotes the oxidative reaction that produces the 5-alkynyl-1,2,3-triazoles at the expense of the 1,2,3-triazole and 5,5’-bis-(1,2,3-triazole)s. Chapter 5 summarizes the work conducted on modifying the conditions applied to the copper catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC).…

▼ Within the past few decades, metal-catalysis has emerged as a key facet in synthetic organic chemistry, perpetuating a continuous need
for the development of methods within this sect of chemistry. In tandem, cycloisomerization reactions of tethered enynes have garnered
considerable interest as emphasis on annulation strategies to access polycyclic systems becomes necessary for the generation of important
bioactive structures. Driven by both methodological and total synthesis applications, metal-catalyzed cycloisomerizations remain at the
forefront of interest for effective atom-economic reactions. We have identified a strategic gap in the methodology of 1,6-enyne
cycloisomerizations bearing heteroatom, methylene, and malonate tethers. Herein will be described a method for the [4 + 2] formal Diels-Alder
cycloisomerization of neopentylene-tethered dienynes, closing the gap previously mentioned and highlighting a valuable reactivity profile of
this new tether. Also demonstrated is significant progress in the Diels-Alder cyclization of electron-deficient dienynes, for which the
literature has shown to be relatively unexplored, presumably due to the apparent poor reactivity of these substrates. Further investigation
into isolation of the [4 + 2] Diels-Alder products as well as elaboration on the previously published fragmentation/olefination methodology
is included in this manuscript. Using these effective annulation strategies developed in our lab, we have sought to gain access to
sesquiterpene natural products of particular interest bearing the gem-dimethylcyclopentane, an extension of the indane core. These methods
have been employed in a six-step total synthesis of Alcyopterosin A and in the efforts toward the synthesis of Fomajorin D.

▼ The copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction is an efficient technique for linking two molecules in different applications. Generally, Cu(II) salts were used to generate active catalyst Cu(I) by the addition of reducing reagents. In our earlier study, 2-picolyl azide and propargyl alcohol reacted fast in the Cu(OAc)2-assisted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction without addition of reducing reagents, which makes the reaction easy to handle and readily to modify the conditions. This dissertation is composed of 5 chapters, which focused on the Cu(II)-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions and the reactions derived from the CuAACs. Chapter 1 is the introduction to the development of the CuAAC reactions. The mechanistic study on CuAAC reactions from the computational aspect and the experimental aspect were reviewed to understand and describe the proposed mechanism of the CuAAC reactions. The impact of components, such as solvent, copper salts, ligands, and so on, were summarized in this chapter. At the end of this chapter, the unresolved problems were put forwarded for improving the efficiency and the flexibility of CuAACs in future applications. Chapter 2 focuses on the reactivity of the alkynes in CuAAC reactions. Though the alkyne is an important component in CuAACs, the study on the reactivity of alkynes has not been reported much. It brings difficulties in understanding the mechanism as well as in the application of the alkynes. In this chapter, various alkynes were designed and compared under different conditions through 1H NMR monitoring experiments. The behavior of the alkyne were analyzed under conditions: Cu(II), Cu(I), and existence of ligand TBTA. Through ranking the reactivity of alkynes under different conditions, the factors that contribute to their reactivity were analyzed and discussed, which offers a guidance for practical purpose. Chapter 3 focuses on a special class of
organic azides. These azides have ability to chelate copper ions and displayed high reactivity in Cu(II)-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. The mechanism of the reaction has been proposed, but the impact from the structure of azides remained unclear. In this chapter, the binding affinity of azides was measured via the isothermal calorimetry (ITC) method for evaluating the chelation effect on the reactivity of the azides. The N-heterocyclic (NHC) carbene stabilized copper triazolide was employed to study the impact of azides in the cycloaddition step and the protonation step. Moreover, the dinucleared copper complex involves Cu(I) and Cu(II) were compared using carbene stabilized copper triazolide. Chapter 4 focuses on the synthesis of 5,5’-bis-1,2,3-triazoles. Bistriazoles are oxidative dimers generated in CuAAC reactions. The compounds were noticed as side products in CuAAC reactions by Sharpless and co-workers, but they did not report it. Burgess first reported the compound as major product under basic conditions. In the existing protocols for synthesizing bistriazoles, the long reaction time…
