Recent Advances in Iminium Salt Catalysed Asymmetric Epoxidation RECENT ADVANCES IN IMINIUM SALT CATALYSED ASYMMETRIC EPOXIDATION By David P.

The first chapter reviews past and present developments in; catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, and covers the application of this reaction towards the kinetic resolution of racemic olefins. Chapter two is separated into two key areas; (i) asymmetric epoxidation as a tool in the kinetic resolution of racemic chromene substrates, and (ii) investigations into the asymmetric epoxidation of new N-protected dihydroquinoline substrates. In the first part of chapter two, the first examples of kinetic resolution in epoxidation reactions using iminium salt catalysts are reported, providing up to 98% ee in the epoxidation of racemic cis-chromenes. The second part of chapter two details the first known examples of asymmetric epoxidation upon nitrogen-protected dihydroquinoline substrates, affording enantioselectivities as high as 73% ee. In both parts of chapter two, non-aqueous epoxidation conditions were employed using Page’s dihydroisoquinolinium iminium salt catalyst. The later part of chapter two introduces a biphenylazepinium iminium salt catalyst used under aqueous epoxidation conditions. Chapter three includes experimental data for all the compounds mentioned in chapter two, with chapter four containing HPLC traces to show determination of enantiomeric excess of epoxides, and enantioenriched alkene traces. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to give thanks to my supervisor Professor Philip C.

Cook Chair Dr. Mukund P. Sibi Dr. Sivaguru Jayaraman Dr. Dean Webster Approved: 5-29-2013 Dr. Gregory R. Cook Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a significant challenge to both the pharmaceutical world as well as the synthetic organic chemistry world. One of the most important problems in this field is the lack of a unified approach to the most biologically active class of natural products for the treatment of AD, the lycopodine alkaloids. Presented herein is an attempt at the total synthesis of a novel member of this family. The synthesis spans three complete generations of retrosynthesis and forward progress. In the ultimate effort, the carbon backbone of the entire lycopodine class was successfully synthesized using a 6 step process in 44% overall yield. Features of this synthesis are the formation of an intermediate aldehyde by tandem Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination/Baylis-Hillman reaction, quantitative reduction resulting in a monoprotected diol, cationic Au(I) O-vinylation, and microwave assisted Claisen rearrangement.

Rev., 2018, 47,278 You-Quan Zou, * Fabian M. Ho¨rmann and Thorsten Bach * Although enantioselective catalysis under thermal conditions has been well established over the last few decades, the enantioselective catalysis of photochemical reactions is still a challenging task resulting from the complex enantiotopic face differentiation in the photoexcited state. Recently, remarkable achievements have been reported by a synergistic combination of organocatalysis and photocatalysis, Received 10th August 2017 which have led to the expedient construction of a diverse range of enantioenriched molecules which DOI: 10.1039/c7cs00509a are generally not easily accessible under thermal conditions.

    Chapter 22: Amines. Organic derivatives of ammonia, NH3. Nitrogen atom have a lone pair of electrons, making the amine both basic and nucleophilic 22.1: Amines Nomenclature. (please read) H H N C N H H sp3 alkylamines arylamines Amines are classified according to the degree of nitrogen + substitution: 1° (RNH2), 2° (R2NH), 3° (R3N) and 4° (R4N ) NH2 H H3CH2C CH2CH3 N H3C N N N N CH CH H H H 2 3 primary (1°) amines secondary (2°) amines tertiary (3°) amines quarternary (4°) ammonium ion Note: Although the terminology is the same, this classification of amines is different from that of alcohols. 203 22.2: Structure and bonding. The nitrogen of alkylamines is sp3 hybridized and tetrahedral. The nitrogen of arylamines (aniline) is slightly flatten, reflecting resonance interactions with the aromatic ring. 204 104 In principle an amine with three different substituents on the nitrogen is chiral with the lone pair of electrons being the fourth substituent; however, for most amines the pyramidal inversion of nitrogen is a racemization mechanism. The barrier to nitrogen inversion is about 25 KJ/mol (very rapid at room temperature). 22.3: Physical Properties. (please read) 22.4: Basicity of Amines. The basicity is reflective of and is expressed as the pKa’s of the conjugate acid. The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base: Higher pKa = weaker acid = stronger conjugate base The conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base 205 Lower pKa = stronger acid = weaker conjugate base Table 22.1 (p. 915): pKa values of ammonium ions + - Alkyl ammonium ions, R3NH X , have pKa values in the range + - of 10-11 (ammonium ion, H4N X , has a pKa ~ 9.3) The ammonium ions of aryl amines and heterocyclic aromatic amines are considerably more acidic than alkyl amines (pKa < 5).
