Ehrenwörtliche Versicherung Diese Dissertation wurde selbstständig, ohne unerlaubte Hilfe erarbeitet. München, am 1. März 2010 ………………………………………… Fabian Michel Piller Dissertation eingereicht am: 1. März 2010 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Paul Knochel 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Konstantin Karaghiosoff Mündliche Prüfung am: 7. April 2010 This work was carried out from December 2006 to February 2010 under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Paul Knochel at the Fakultät für Chemie und Pharmazie of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paul Knochel for giving me the opportunity to prepare my Ph.D. thesis in his group, for the chance of working on the most elegant reaction in organic chemistry and for his invaluable support and guidance throughout this time. I am also very grateful to Prof. Dr. K. Karaghiosoff for agreeing to act as a referee, as well as to Prof. Dr. K. Wanner, Prof. Dr. H. Zipse, Prof. Dr. H. R. Pfaendler and Prof. Dr. A. Kornath for the interest shown in this manuscript and their agreement to take part in the examination. I thank Tobias Blümke, Marcel Kienle, Albrecht Metzger, Christoph Rohbogner, Andreas Wagner and Stefan Wunderlich for the careful correction of this manuscript. I thank many of the past and present members of the Knochel group for creating a wonderful ambience inside and outside of the lab. I am very grateful to Sebastian Bernhardt, Thomas Kunz, Dr. Christian Rauhut, Dr. Armin Stoll and Silvia Zimdars for being the best lab mates one could possibly wish for. Additionally, I want to thank Tobias Blümke, Dr. Andrei Gavryushin, Benjamin Haag, Albrecht Metzger and Matthias Schade for the fruitful collaboration in the field of insertion chemistry. I also thank Dr. Felix Kopp for the many nights spent with music and wine in NYC, Augsburg and Munich. My stomach would like to thank all the people that helped me avoid the gourmet food in the Mensa throughout the years. A special thank-you to all the members of the best band that ever rocked Großhadern. It was a privilege to play with you! I would also like to thank Vladimir Malakhov, Simon Matthe, Renate Schröder and Yulia Tsvik for their help in organizing everyday life in the lab and in the office, as well as the analytical team of the LMU for their invaluable help. A very special thanks goes out to my family and friends, especially to my parents and to Anja for their endless love and support throughout the time of my Ph.D. I couldn’t have done this without you!
