Doctoral Thesis Metal-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions of Conjugated Enyne Alcohol Derivatives With Organometallics: an Effective Method in Synthesis of Functionalized Vinylallenes(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Taç, Doğan; Artok, Levent; Artok, LeventTransformations of organic compounds using transition metals are common methods in the toolbox of a synthetic chemist. Metal catalyzed C-C couplings are one of the most useful technique in this toolbox. Conjugate addition of soft/hard carbon nucleophiles to form allenes which are synthetically and pharmaceutically key precursors has been of great interest. Within the scope of this thesis functionalized vinylallene derivatives were prepared in two different types of new methods. The first method is Pd/Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of terminal alkynes on enyne carbonates. The other method is iron-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents on enyne acetates. In the case of the former method, alkynyl-substituted vinylallenes (1,3,4-trien-6-yne) were prepared with optimized conditions up to 91% yield in relatively short reaction periods. The optimized conditions of the cross coupling were successfully applied with various types of terminal alkynes and enyne substrates. The latter method involves the synthesis of alkylated vinylallenes with up to 90% yield with proper conditions.Master Thesis The Synthesis of Furanones Via Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Addition Reactions of Arylboronic Acids To Alkynes(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Dege, Fatma Nurcan; Artok, Levent; Artok, LeventThis study reveals that 5-Aryl-2(5H)-furanones can be synthesized by rhodiumcatalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with internal alkynes under a CO atmosphere.In this thesis, relatively mild and simple method for synthesis of 2(5H)-furanones was developed. Our method was found to be applicable for various arylboronic acids and alkynes.The methodology of this study is well applicable for ortho-, para- and metasubstituted phenylboronic acids. But slightly higher yields were obtained with parasubstituted phenylboronic acids than ortho- or meta- substituted ones.It was found that when an asymmetric alkyne is used under the optimized conditions, aroylation occurs more on the electron deficient acetylenic carbon as compared with electron rich acetylene when aroylrhodium(I) species undergoes 1,2-addition to the carbon-carbon triple bond in the reaction. That affects the ratio of isomeric yields of furanones which were produced in the reactions of asymmetric alkynes with phenylboronic acid.2(5H)-Furanones that we synthesized can be used in many areas such as food manufacturing, perfume and medicinal industries.Article Effect of Marination on the Formation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Grilled Vegetables(Wiley, 2025) Kacmaz Ozcetin, Sibel; Artok, LeventThe effect of marination on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in charcoal-grilled vegetables was studied. Various marinade ingredients, including apple cider vinegar, red grape vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and the food additive tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) were applied to vegetable samples before charcoal grilling. The total phenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of each marinade ingredient were assessed for their contribution to PAH inhibition. A substantial decrease in PAH4 formation was observed in marinated vegetables. Red grape vinegar exhibited the strongest average inhibitory effect on total PAH4 formation (75%), followed by apple vinegar (68%), lemon juice (52%), garlic powder (34%), and black pepper (30%). Additionally, the TBHQ (67%) demonstrated a strong inhibitory effect, reducing total PAH4 formation by 67%. These findings offer valuable insights for reducing PAH levels in grilled vegetables and preventing their formation.Article Citation - WoS: 78Citation - Scopus: 83Synthesis, Characterization and Application of a Novel Sorbent, Glucamine-Modified Mcm-41, for the Removal/Preconcentration of Boron From Waters(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Kaftan, Öznur; Açıkel, Müge; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; Artok, Levent; Ni, ChaoyingA novel sorbent was prepared by the functionalization of an inorganic support material, MCM-41, with N-methylglucamine for the uptake of boron from aqueous solutions prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). Characterization of the newly synthesized material was performed using BET, XRD, TEM, SEM and DRIFTS techniques, in addition to its C and N elemental content. Sorption behavior of the novel sorbent for boron was also investigated and found to obey Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm models. The maximum amount of B (as H3BO3) that can be sorbed by the sorbent was calculated from the D–R isotherm and was found to be 0.8 mmol B g−1 of sorbent. The applicability of the new sorbent for the removal/preconcentration of boron from aqueous samples was examined by batch method. It was found that the sorbent can take up 85% of boron in 5 min whereas quantitative sorption is obtained in 30 min. Any pH greater than 6 can be used for sorption. Desorption from the sorbent was carried out using 1.0 M HNO3. The sorption efficiency of the new sorbent was also compared to that of Amberlite IRA 743, a commercial resin with N-methylglucamine functional groups. Within the experimental conditions employed, the new sorbent was found to have higher sorption efficiency than the commercial resin. For method validation, spike recovery tests were performed at various concentration levels in different water types and were found to be between 83–95 and 75–92% for ultra pure water and geothermal water, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 20Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Arylation of Alkynes With Arylboronic Acids: an Efficient and Straightforward Method in the Synthesis of 5-Aryl(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2006) Aksın, Özge; Dege, Nurcan; Artok, Levent; Türkmen, Hayati; Çetinkaya, Bekir5-Aryl-2(5H)-furanones can be synthesized by the Rh-catalyzed reactions of arylboronic acids with internal alkynes under a CO atmosphere.Article Citation - WoS: 107Citation - Scopus: 112Heterogeneous Suzuki Reactions Catalyzed by Pd(0)-Y Zeolite(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Artok, Levent; Bulut, HaticeThe Pd(0)-Y zeolite showed high activity in the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides without added ligands. The type of base and organic solvent were found to be critical for the efficiency of the reaction. The presence of water was essential within the reaction medium. The coupling reactions occurred on the external surface of the zeolite. The catalyst is reusable.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of 2,3,5-Trienoates by Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of Conjugated Enyne Carbonates(American Chemical Society, 2014) Karagöz, Ezgi Şule; Kuş, Melih; Akpınar, Gürkan Eray; Artok, LeventPalladium-catalyzed carbonylation of 2,4-enyne carbonates in an alcohol and under balloon pressure of CO proceeds through 1,5-substitution to yield (E)-2,3,5-trienoates. The olefin geometry of the substrate is important to control the overall stereochemistry of this alkoxycarbonylation method. The reaction proceeds through successive formation of π-allylpalladium with an R3 group oriented syn and σ-allenyl palladium complexes.Master Thesis Rhodium-Catalyzed Reactions of (z)-2 Acetates With Arylboronic Acids(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Karakuş, Erman; Artok, LeventThis study is the first example of rhodium(I)-catalyzed arylative SN2ʺ type reaction of (Z)-2-en-4-yne acetates with arylboronic acids leading to E-configured vinyl-allenes with an aryl moiety. The coordinative interaction of the rhodium with carbonyl oxygen promoted the -elimination of Rh(I)-OAc from the alkenylrhodium intermediate in both syn- and anti-modes, with the syn-elimination being the major path. DFT calculations revealed that a conformer of this intermediate which can lead to the E-configured vinylallene product via the syn-elimination mode, is energetically the most favorable conformer. The rhodium-catalyzed procedure is not applicable to reactions involving (E)- configured enyne acetates, because the geometry of the alkenylrhodium intermediate that is derived from the corresponding E-enyne acetate would not allow such coordinative interaction to occur.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 2Synthesis of Α,β-Unsaturated Ketones by Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Arylation of Internal Alkynes With Arylboronic Acids(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2008) Kuş, Melih; Aksın Artok, Özge; Ziyanak, Fırat; Artok, LeventThe Rh-catalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with internal alkynes under a CO atmosphere in the presence of an acid additive afforded α,β-unsaturated ketones as the major products. Hydroacylation of internal alkynes, except in the case of diaryl acetylenes, proceeded in syn fashion, yielding the E-configured isomer. A mixture of E- and Z-isomers was obtained with diphenyl acetylene. Reactions were also highly regioselective for various nonsymmetric alkynes.Article Iron-Promoted 1,5-Substitution Reaction of Endocyclic Enyne Oxiranes With Memgbr: a Stereoselective Method for the Synthesis of Exocyclic 2,4,5-Trienol Derivatives(MDPI, 2023) Kuş, Melih; Omur, Cenk; Karaca, Sila; Artok, LeventThe iron-promoted 1,5-substitution reaction of endocyclic oxiranes with MeMgBr yields exocyclic 2,4,5-trienols with high diastereomeric ratios of up to 100:0. However, for the method's success, the oxirane ring must have a trans-configuration. The reactions exhibit strong stereoselectivity concerning the methylation mode and the configuration of the resulting exocyclic double bond. Enantiomerically pure enyne oxiranes can be synthesized through Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and subsequent manipulations. With these reagents, it has been possible to produce exocyclic 2,4,5-trienols in enantiopure forms. Importantly, this process maintains chirality without degradation during the center-to-axis transfer of chirality.
