Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date Thesis Abstract This thesis deals with an attempted “one-pot”azidation of carbohydrate secondary alcohols using arylsulfonyl azides. It also deals with the investigation of the reaction mechanism through which the attempted azidation process takes place. The results showed that the attempted azidation did not occur. Instead, the reactions led to the isolation of different sulfonate ester intermediates. A combination of steric (and stereoelectronic) problems were suspected to be the probable cause shutting down the substitution pathway. iii Acknowledgements I would like to, most sincerely, thank Dr. Peter Norris for not only being my research advisor but also my mentor. Thank you for being so patient with me and making me realize my potential both in research and course work. I would also like to thank Dr. John Jackson for making me a better person in synthesis of organic compounds and for being in my thesis committee. I also thank Dr. Sherri Lovelace for the advice and encouragement. I am also indebted to thank Dr. Chris Arnsten for the wonderful insight on Spartan Molecular Modeling, Dr. Matthias Zeller for the X-ray crystal data, Dr. Caleb Tatebe for helping me draw crystal structures and Ray Hoff for teaching me how to use the NMR instrumentation. I am grateful to the YSU chemistry department and the YSU graduate school for giving me a wonderful opportunity and financial support in my studies. I thank the entire YSU chemistry faculty especially Dr. Nina Stourman for being in my thesis committee and Dr. Douglas Genna for the knowledge he imparted in me. I am grateful to my colleagues in the Norris research group; Moffat, Angela, Haron and Salam, for making my graduate experience enjoyable. I would also like to thank my family and friends for being so supportive throughout this course. Lastly, I would like to thank God for the gift of life and for seeing me through this entire process. iv Table of Contents Title Page...........…………………………………………………………………………. i Signature
