    Efficient greener methodology for the preparation of bio-based phase change materials from lipids
    (Taylor, 2020-11-10) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Kiraylar, Kaan; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Kıraylar, Kaan; 0000-0003-1018-3472; 0000-0002-2328-9754; W-8924-2019; GFD-3632-2022
    In the present work, a new, highly efficient and simple strategy has been developed for the synthesis of long chain esters from fatty acids and fatty alcohols as phase change materials. Equivalent amounts of the selected starting compounds were taken to the esterification reaction at 110 degrees C in a solventless medium. In order to catalyze the esterification reaction, non-hygroscopic triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide adduct was used (0.83 mmol%) which is an easily accessible compound. The relevant reaction was completed in a very short time (2 h) and under optimized esterification conditions, excellent conversion were reached. The targeted mono ester compounds (15 examples) were obtained in good to excellent yields even after a simple crystallization step (72-99%). Additionally, a catalyst reuse investigation and study covering the scale-up production of stearyl stearate was also carried out. The triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide catalyzed solvent free process can compete with existing processes and proved to be a cheaper, practical and environmentally-friendly method for the esterification of fatty acids and alcohols.

    An expedient method for kinetically controlled acetonide formation from d-fructose induced by ionic liquid catalyst accompanied with sr cl 2 .6h 2 O
    (Springer, 2020-03-16) Yıldırım, Ayhan; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; GKJ-3046-2022
    The present work was undertaken to ascertain whether IL-metal salt catalyzed isopropylidenation of d-fructose yield desired acetonides. For the first time, an imidazole based ionic liquid compound accompanied with strontium chloride has been identified as a suitable dual catalyst system for the chemoselective O-isopropylidenation of d-fructose with acetone. In the present protocol, mainly the kinetically controlled less stable cyclic ketal 1,2;4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-d-fructopyranose is formed as an initial product with satisfactory yield and without isomerization to the thermodynamically more stable cyclic ketal 2,3;4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-d-fructopyranose. Therefore, this protocol is more advantageous compared to other mineral acid catalyzed protocols that require more sensitive reaction conditions.

    (Wiley, 2019-03-01) Öztürk, Serkan; Yıldırım, Ayhan; Gece, Gökhan; Türkdemir, Haluk; ÖZTÜRK, SERKAN; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; TÜRKDEMİR, MEHMET HALUK; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-9396-1403; 0000-0002-2328-9754; W-8924-2019; AAH-1812-2021; JJY-2268-2023
    Novel cationic gemini surfactants with a hydrophilic oligo-oxyethylene spacer group were synthesized and their physicochemical properties were identified. Computational studies for these compounds were also performed; molecular geometry, frontier molecular orbitals, and quantum chemical parameters were calculated using density functional theory (DFT). After exploration for catalytic activity, it was found that these surfactants can efficaciously accelerate the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions in reversed phase micellar media.

    A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of cholesterol esters of long-chain saturated fatty acids by using ph 3 p•so 3 as a versatile organocatalyst
    (Elsevier, 2022-04-06) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Avcı, Cansu; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Avcı, Cansu; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-2328-9754; W-8924-2019; KVB-8845-2024
    Cholesteryl esters are more nonpolar compounds formed by the conjugation of cholesterol with fatty acids containing a long hydrocarbon chain. These ester molecules do not participate in the composition of the cell membranes and are found in lipid droplets. Because this form of cholesterol can be packaged in a larger amount in lipoproteins, the transport of cholesterol is more effective, and also, these esters play an important role in cholesterol metabolism. Moreover, some of their hydroperoxide derivatives are biologically active components of minimally modified low-density lipoprotein (mmLDL). In recent years, these esters have attracted attention in many industrial and medical applications. In this study, a triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide adduct efficiently catalyzed the esterification reactions between homologous long-chain saturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic fatty acids and cholesterol molecule in toluene. In these reactions, the triphenylphosphine-based adduct acts as a source of sulfur trioxide. Reactions were performed at 110 degrees C with equimolar amounts of the reagents except in the case of dicarboxylic acids, and two equimolar of cholesterol was used to afford the corresponding homologous cholesteryl esters in good to excellent yields. The present developed method has advantages such as being simpler, practical, and less toxic than the existing ones as well as enabling the synthesis of the related esters with higher yields.

    Mild and efficient regioselective surfactant catalyzed deacylation of lipophilic 5-substituted 4-acyl-2-(acylamino)-δ2 1,3,4-thiadiazolines
    (Wiley, 2023-01-22) Yıldırım, Ayhan; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-2328-9754; W-8924-2019
    The most common transport route of biologically active compounds or drugs involves the absorption of the respective compounds across cell membranes via passive diffusion. In this context, biologically active compounds must have sufficient lipophilic character for their penetration through cell membranes. On the other hand, it is a very important task to be able to derivatize the existing compounds with effective and practical transformations to increase their biological activities. Accordingly, the free amino group in the structures of thiadiazolines can be functionalized and their biological activities can be further improved. In the present study, for the first time, several novel lipophilic 5-substituted 4-acyl-2-(acylamino)-Delta(2)-1,3,4-thiadiazolines as potential biologically active agents were synthesized and selectively deacylated with the assistance of urotropin based cationic surfactant to afford the corresponding 5-substituted 4-acyl-2-amino-Delta(2)-1,3,4-thiadiazolines with moderate to good isolated yields. The surfactant catalyzed eco-friendly method developed in this study greatly facilitated the regioselective deacylation of the thiadiazoline ring system at the N-2 position.

    (Wiley-V C H Verlag, 2020-06-23) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Göker, Mustafa; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Göker, Mustafa; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-2328-9754; W-8924-2019; JIO-8136-2023
    A series of 1,3-benzoxazine monomers were successfully synthesized by simple one-pot and three-component condensation of phenol, paraformaldehyde and varying types of primary aliphatic and aromatic amines in a molar ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 and in the presence of non-acidic 2,3;4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose as an effective green carbohydrate based organocatalyst obtained from renewable feedstock. This multicomponent method provides a convenient fast approach for the construction of valuable 1,3-benzoxazine monomers (8 examples) with moderate to excellent yields. The chemical structures of the synthesized benzoxazines were confirmed by FTIR,H-1 NMR,C-13 NMR spectra and elemental analysis.

    Synthesis and surface characterization studies of polyether-linked symmetric higher sulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles
    (Taylor, 2015-09-02) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Öztürk, Serkan; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; ÖZTÜRK, SERKAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-2328-9754; 0000-0002-9396-1403; W-8924-2019; AAH-1812-2021
    The synthesis and the characterization of a series of novel symmetric double length alkyl-chained sulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles functionalized with a polyether head group are reported. In addition, surface characterization studies were conducted on the metal surface of these synthesized compounds. The metal surfaces were characterized by contact angle measurements via the sessile-drop method, and 3D images of the metal surface were obtained using an optical profilometer. The surface studies showed that the inhibitor molecule increases the hydrophobic character and decreases the wettability of the metal surface.

    An efficient Ni(II) laurate promoted heterocyclization of symmetrical thioureas with maleic anhydride and mechanistic approach toward higher substituted thiazolidine-4-one-5-acetic acids
    (Wiley, 2022-07-14) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Öztürk, Serkan; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; ÖZTÜRK, SERKAN; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; 0000-0002-2328-9754; AAH-1812-2021; W-8924-2019
    For the first time, readily available Ni(II) laurate catalyzed thia-Michael addition of symmetrical N,N-disubstituted thioureas to maleic anhydride and subsequent cyclization in toluene afforded novel thiazolidine-4-one-5-acetic acids with good yields in a short reaction time. The efficiency and low cost of the renewable, eco-friendly laurate based homogenous Lewis acid catalyst and the fact that cyclization proceeds in a much shorter time means that this synthetic method is interesting from a green chemistry point of view. The catalyst can be reused for many times without any significant loss of activity.

    Screening of simple carbohydrates as a renewable organocatalyst for the efficient construction of 1,3-benzoxazine scaffold
    (Elsevier, 2021-10-05) Yıldırım, Ayhan; Kaya, Yunus; Göker, Mustafa; YILDIRIM, AYHAN; Göker, Mustafa; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Kimya Bölümü; GKJ-3046-2022; EXW-1951-2022
    A convenient protocol for the two component preparation of 1,3-benzoxazines by using several protected and unprotected carbohydrate molecules as organocatalysts have been developed which is broadly applicable to condensation reaction between variety of Mannich bases and paraformaldehyde. This study revealed that fructose have much higher catalytic activity than the other carbohydrates and can be an alternative to metalcontaining catalysts as a green renewable organocatalyst for efficient and rapid construction of 1,3-benzoxazine skeleton. In this context, 21 benzoxazine compounds were successfully synthesized and spectral characterizations of these compounds were carried out by spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to study the detailed mechanism of organocatalyst assisted synthesis of the benzoxazine monomers. The results obtained from these calculations showed that the more realistic reaction pathway involves formation of a phenolate based intermediate which loses a water molecule to form benzenaminium ion. Subsequently, this ion provides the formation of the corresponding benzoxazines with good yields through the intramolecular ring closure step.
