  • Asymmetric Cyclization Reactions Through an Enamine/Acid Cooperative Approach
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Yongming Deng Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Hong Wang, Advisor Michael Novak, Committee Chair Scott Hartley, Reader Shouzhong Zou, Reader Annette Bollmann, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT ASYMMETRIC CYCLIZATION REACTIONS THROUGH AN ENAMINE/ACID COOPERATIVE APPROACH. SYNTHESIS OF UNSYMMETRICALLY FUNCTIONALIZED BENZOPORPHYRINS by Yongming Deng The combination of enamine catalysis with metal catalysis, aiming to achieve organic transformations that cannot be accessed by enamine catalysis or metal catalysis independently, promises huge potential. The major obstacle in the development of enamine/metal Lewis acid combining catalysis is the incompatibility of the catalysts. The goal of this research is to solve this long lasting challenge and develop powerful asymmetric catalysts. Chapter one will provide a brief introduction to asymmetric catalysis and combing catalysis of enamine catalysis with transition metal catalysis. In Chapter two, the first application of arylamines in enamine catalysis is presented. The incompatibility of enamine catalysts and metal Lewis acid is solved by applying arylamines/acids cooperative catalysis. Through combination with either a metal Lewis acid or a chiral phosphoric acid, arylamines successfully catalyzed the asymmetric aldol reaction of cyclohexanone with both isatin and enones. Additionally, a highly chemo- and enantioselective three-component aza-Diels-Alder reaction was developed by combining arylamines with metal Lewis acids. In Chapter three, we devise a new type of chiral Lewis-acid-assisted Lewis acid catalyst formed from a metal Lewis acid and a chiral metal phosphate (MLA/M[P]3-LLA). A highly chemo- and enantioselective three-component aza-Diels-Alder reaction of cylic ketones (5, 6, and 7 membered) was successfully achieved by in situ prepared MLA/M[P]3-LLA.

A DISSERTATION IN PHYSICS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Chairperson of the Committee Accepted Dean of the Graduate School May, 2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my research advisor. Dr. Roland Menzel, and all of my committee members: Dr. Wallace Glab, Dr. Kelvin Cheng, and Dr. Edward Quitevis, for all of their guidance and support over the last several years. I want to thank Dr. Cheng for the phase-based lifetime measurements and the Graduate School at Texas Tech University for financial support in the summer of 1999. I would also like to thank Mr. Russell Murdock for his never-ending help and fiiendship. A special word of gratitude is extended to Menzel, Wally, RusselL, and the physics shop crew for all of the wisdom that was delivered over years of "technical discussions." I also thank my parents, Ted and Judy Bouldin, for all the love and encouragement they showered on me through my life. Mom and Dad, thank you both for encoiuraging me to set my goals high and teaching me to persevere until those goals were met. Finally, I would like to express how gratefiil I am to all of my family (with a special thanks to Finnan McClellan for his help with the figures), fiiends, and educators, both past and present. Without all of you, I would not be where I am today.

  • Studies on Lanthanide Shift Reagents A
    1 STUDIES ON LANTHANIDE SHIFT REAGENTS A thesis submitted for THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON by George C. de VILLARDI de MONTLAUR Department of Chemistry Imperial College of Science and Technology London 1976 2 ABSTRACT Proton magnetic resonance studies of lanthanide shift reagents with olefin-transition metal complexes, monoamines and diamines as substrates are described. III Shift reagents for olefins are reported : Ln (fod)3 can induce substantial shifts in the nmr spectra of a variety of olefins when silver l-heptafluorobutyrate is used to com- plex the olefin. The preparation, properties and efficiency of such systems are described and various other transition metal-olefin complexes are investigated. Configurational aspects and exchange processes of III Ln (fod) complexes with secondary and tertiary monoamines 3 are analysed by means of dynamic nmr. Factors influencing the stability and the stoichiometry of these complexes and various processes such as nitrogen inversion and ligand ex- change are discussed. At low temperature, ring inversion can be slow on an III nmr time-scale for Ln (fod) -diamino chelates. Barriers 3 to ring inversion in substituted wthylenediamines and propane- diamines are obtained. Steric factors appear to play an im- portant role in the stability and kinetics of these bidentate species. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. D. F. Evans for his constant help and long discussions during the course of this work. I would like to thank Professor G. Wilkinson for all the advice he gave me. My thanks are also due to the whole laboratory who contributed to render my stay in London extremely pleasant, to the Royal Society and C.N.R.S.
