This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

    MULTIPLE METAL-CARBON BONDS FOR CATALYTIC METATHESIS REACTIONS Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2005 by Richard R. Schrock Department of Chemistry 6-331, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. It’s my great priviledge to be here today, in a position I never thought pos- sible. I hope the story that I will tell you will give you some idea what I have contributed to the area for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded this year. The story begins thirty two years ago in 1973, the year the Nobel Prize was shared by G. Wilkinson and E. O. Fischer. Wilkinson’s Nobel Lecture1 con- cerned the nature of a single bond between a transition metal and a carbon atom in an alkyl group, and emphasized the fact that the metal-carbon bond is not inherently weak. E. O. Fischer in his Nobel Lecture2 summarized the extensive chemistry of transition metal “carbene” complexes3,4 that contain a metal-carbon double bond discovered by him and his group in 1964 (Fig 1).5 He also reported new “carbyne” complexes that contain a metal-carbon triple bond.6 It was clear that metal-carbon single bonds were of great importance in the emerging area of homogeneous catalysis. However, no catalytic reac- tions involving species that contain metal-carbon double or triple bonds were known. When I went to the Central Research Department of E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company in 1972, transition metal organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis were of great interest as a consequence of their huge potential in organic chemistry and therefore in industry.

  • Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids
    Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids A Thesis Submitted for a PhD University of York Department of Chemistry 2010 Matthew James Palframan Abstract The work presented in this thesis has focused on the development of novel and concise syntheses of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids, and especial approaches towards (±)-protoemetinol (a), which is a key precursor of a range of Alangium alkaloids such as psychotrine (b) and deoxytubulosine (c). The approaches include the use of a key radical cyclisation to form the tri-cyclic core. O O O N N N O O O H H H H H H O N NH N Protoemetinol OH HO a Psychotrine Deoxytubulosine b c Chapter 1 gives a general overview of radical chemistry and it focuses on the application of radical intermolecular and intramolecular reactions in synthesis. Consideration is given to the mediator of radical reactions from the classic organotin reagents, to more recently developed alternative hydrides. An overview of previous synthetic approaches to a range of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids is then explored. Chapter 2 follows on from previous work within our group, involving the use of phosphorus hydride radical addition reactions, to alkenes or dienes, followed by a subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. It was expected that the tri-cyclic core of the Alangium alkaloids could be prepared by cyclisation of a 1,7-diene, using a phosphorus hydride to afford the phosphonate or phosphonothioate, however this approach was unsuccessful and it highlighted some limitations of the methodology. Chapter 3 explores the radical and ionic chemistry of a range of silanes.

    ACADEMIA ROMÂNĂ Rev. Roum. Chim., Revue Roumaine de Chimie 2011, 56(4), 299-316 http://web.icf.ro/rrch/ Dedicated to Professor Alexandru T. Balaban on the occasion of his 80th anniversary REVIEW NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE MECHANISM OF ALKENE METATHESIS Carmen I. MITAN,* Valerian DRAGUTAN and Ileana DRAGUTAN Institute of Organic Chemistry, Roumanian Academy, Spl. Independentei, 202 B, sect. 6, Bucharest, Roumania Received September 8, 2010 The diversity of alkene metathesis reactions, presently applied to their full potential in synthesis of complex scaffolds and assemblies or as key steps in the total synthesis of natural products, demands a deep understanding of the intricate metathesis mechanism since not all of the catalysts are efficient for all of the substrates, nor do they trigger the identical mechanistic pathways, though they share the same main intermediates (the generally accepted metallacarbene and metallacyclobutane). Beyond that, metathesis processes are occasionally complicated by the occurrence of side reactions resulting in a number of by-products. Unveiling the influence of reaction conditions, and in particular of the catalytic system and the active species generated thereof during metathesis of a chosen substrate is paramount for obtaining high yields in the targeted product, at low costs. This paper focuses on relevant kinetic and mechanistic aspects reported to date for alkene metathesis induced by Ru-alkylidene complexes, concentrating on the interplay ligand dissociation – initiation step – overall catalytic activity, as determined by the catalyst structure.

The plethora of available cata- lysts to perform these reactions, combined with the various works, whose access were previously hampered by the lim- transformations that can be accomplished, have positioned the me- itations of conventional synthetic methods.
