Syntéza cyklodextrinových derivátů pro organokatalýzu / Synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives for organocatalysisChena Tichá, Iveta January 2019 (has links)
Synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives for organocatalysis This doctoral thesis examines the preparation of new cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives suitable for organocatalysis. The aim of this work is to prepare monosubstituted and disubstituted CD derivatives as organocatalysts for different types of enantioselective reactions potentially performed in water. In addition, disubstituted CD derivatives require considering the potential mixture of regioisomers and pseudoenantiomers. Thus, this thesis is divided into several sections - preparation of CD precursors and derivatives for organocatalysis, preparation of pure regioisomers and pseudoenantiomers of disubstituted CDs and final application of CD derivatives in enantioselective reactions. Furthermore, this thesis also focuses on the molecular modeling of the prepared CD derivatives and on their catalytic activity in silico. The first section covers the preparation of new disubstituted CD precursors as pure regioisomers for organocatalysts, specifically to develop a new method for the preparation of heterodisubstituted AC regioisomers on the primary rim of α-CD. This section also includes the determination of the regioisomer ratios of common α-CD intermediates disubstituted on the primary rim to evaluate their potential as precursors in organocatalysis....

Modeling the Regioselectivity in Friedel-Crafts addition reaction of Arylsulfonyl Imine to 1-NaphtholAlotaibi, Salha 19 March 2023 (has links)
Stereodivergent and enantiodivergent pathways for the Friedel–Crafts reactions were computationally studied with DFT methods. This study aims to explain recently observed solvent-dependent regioselectivity, and enantioselectivity when cinchona catalyst is used. Deprotonation reaction, Frontier Kohn-Sham orbitals, dual descriptors, Mulliken charges, and Hirshfeld atomic charge for reactant were calculated and analyzed. The most probable position of electrophilic attack and nucleophilic attack in-silico predicted aligns with experimental observations. The calculation of the transition states on the anionic and neutral model in a vacuum show preference for the electrophilic attack in the para position. In comparison to the anionic system, the presence of potassium cation improves ortho/para selectivity and increases the energy barrier. For the key enantioselective step, 12 transition states were calculated which covers 4 representative product such: (R)-ortho, (S)-ortho, (R)-para, and (S)-para. The computational study suggests, that the presence of the cesium cation is essential for the arrangement of the reactant and catalyst in the transition state, which leads to observed selectivity.
