Carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions are the backbone of synthetic organic chemistry. Scientists are constantly developing and improving these techniques in order to maximize the diversity of synthetically available molecules. These techniques must be developed in a sustainable manner in order to limit their environmental impact. This book highlights green bond forming reactions for bioactive scaffolds.

A major challenge to finding compounds that modulate protein function is the identification of chemical matter for screening. Although Nature provides excellent options for screening in the form of natural products, sufficient quantities can be difficult to obtain and characterize. Thus, chemical synthesis plays a lead role in providing molecules for screening, and chemists must ultimately decide what to synthesize based on the predicted value of the end products. We developed new synthetic strategies to access compounds for screening. In each case, natural products serve as an inspiration for the developed chemistry. First, a strategy was developed that provides access to scaffolds based on bioactive alkaloids and terpenoids. A key feature of this strategy is the use of transition metals to mediate the synthesis of multiple scaffolds from simple enynes and diynes. A t -butylsulfinamide group serves as a convenient tether to facilitate this chemistry. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to analyze the relationship of our synthetic scaffolds to naturally occurring alkaloids and terpenoids. Then, a chemical reaction was studied that provides access to benzannulated medium rings inspired by natural products. In the developed reaction, three reagent classes (TsOH, Cu[BF 4 ] 2 , and Tf 2 0) were shown to polarize the carbonyl of a polycyclic cyclohexadienone and subsequently cause a cationic fragmentation reaction that generates an aromatic ring annulated to a medium ring. This process efficiently produces 7- to 11- membered rings while tolerating a variety of common functional groups. Work is presented on efforts to apply this reaction to the synthesis of two natural products, heliannuol A and puerol A.

Electrospinning is a simple and highly versatile method for generating ultrathin fibres with diameters ranging from a few micrometres to tens of nanometres. Although most commonly associated with textile manufacturing, recent research has proved that the electrospinning technology can be used to create organ components and repair damaged tissues. Electrospinning for tissue regeneration provides a comprehensive overview of this innovative approach to tissue repair and regeneration and examines how it is being employed within the biomaterials sector.The book opens with an introduction to the fundamentals of electrospinning. Chapters go on to discuss polymer chemistry, the electrospinning process, conditions, control and regulatory issues. Part two focuses specifically on electrospinning for tissue regeneration and investigates its uses in bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, nerve, heart valve, bladder, tracheal, dental and skin tissue regeneration before concluding with a chapter on wound dressings. Part three explores electrospinning for in vitro applications. Chapters discuss cell culture systems for kidney, pancreatic and stem cell research.With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Electrospinning for tissue regeneration is a valuable reference tool for those in academia and industry concerned with research and development in the field of tissue repair and regeneration. - Provides a comprehensive overview of this innovative approach to tissue repair and regeneration covering issues from polymer chemistry to the regulatory process - Examines employment within the biomaterials sector, reviewing extensive applications in areas such as uses in bone, muscle tendon, heart valve and tissue regeneration - Explores electrospinning for in vitro applications and discusses cell culture systems for kidney, pancreatic and stem cell research
