This issue impacts our employees, our customers and the communities that we serve regardless of political affiliation—and of course, it impacts our businesses in very direct ways. We believe that an economy-wide, market-based approach to valuing or pricing carbon, when carefully crafted, can both strengthen our economy and reduce carbon emissions by encouraging technological innovation and stimulating new investments in infrastructure, products, and services. A market-based approach provides companies, such as ours, with much-needed certainty to aid us in making long-term investment decisions that can further mitigate climate-related risks for our companies, supply chains, and the communities in which we live and work. We welcome your demonstrated commitment to finding common ground on federal policies that can mitigate the effects of climate change.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Chemistry Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. IRON-CATALYZED AMINO-OXYGENATION AND AMINOFLUORINATION OF OLEFINS by JEFFREY D. SEARS Under the Direction of Hao Xu, PhD ABSTRACT The first chapter of the thesis describes an iron(II)-catalyzed intermolecular amino- oxygenation of alkenes. This amino-oxygenation method is found to be compatible with a broad range of synthetically valuable alkenes and affords the corresponding 1,2-amino alcohols with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. Additionally, practical synthetic procedures for the amino-oxygenation of styrene, a fully functionalized glycal, and indene are described. The second chapter of the thesis describes a regioselective and diastereoselective iron(II)-catalyzed intermolecular aminofluorination of alkenes using nucleophilic fluorinating reagents. This method affords new vicinal amino fluorides that were previously difficult to prepare. In both the amino-oxygenation and aminofluorination reactions, bench-stable hydroxylamine derivatives functioned as both the oxidant and amination reagents. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that an iron-nitrenoid is a possible reactive intermediate on both reaction pathways.
