Abstract Chiral lithium amide bases allow the desymmetrisation of prochiral substrates and the production of enantiomerically enriched products, which are vital for the pharmaceutical industry and the total synthesis of natural products. Chapter 1 gives a brief review of this area and the progress that has been achieved over the last three decades. In Chapter 2 deprotonation of a ketone and an imide substrate using both chiral and achiral bases is described. Within the development of catalytic chiral lithium amide base methodology, competition reactions (Chapter 3) and lithium exchange experiments (Chapter 4) were carried out between two amine species. It was found that there were appreciable differences in the rate of deprotonation of the substrate between the lithium amides studied. Chapter 5 describes the design and synthesis of new fluorinated chiral diamines which we hoped could be used as effective chiral lithium amide bases in sub-stoichiometric amounts. Initial work was also carried out on the total synthesis of the diterpenoid alkaloid concavine. A chiral lithium amide base was used to introduce asymmetry into the synthetic route and the synthesis of the fused oxazepane ring moiety was completed (Chapter 6). ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is the result of my own work and has not, whether in the same or a different form, been presented to this or any other university in support of an application for any degree other than that for which I am now a candidate. ______________________ Mark Robert Prestly, MSci iii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Nigel Simpkins for giving me the opportunity to work on this project and for his guidance. I would also like to acknowledge the University of Birmingham for such a pleasant working environment; our 6th floor lab/office, the School of Chemistry and the campus as a whole. I would also like to acknowledge the EPSRC for funding the studentship, which allowed this work to be carried out. I would like to thank the past and present members of the Simpkins research group for their help, support and friendship. In particular I would like to thank Mike, Cynthia, Damian, Jennifer, Seb, Alex, Yang, Pete, Ilias, Bick, Jimm and Fred. The analytical facilities in the School of Chemistry have been invaluable for this work to be carried out. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Neil Spencer for his hard work running and maintaining the NMR facility and carrying out the NOESY experiment within this thesis. I would also like to acknowledge Peter Ashton, Neil and Dr. Chi Tsang for obtaining mass spectra. I am also grateful for Dr. Louise Male obtaining the two X-ray crystal structures in this thesis. I am especially grateful to Graham Burns and Chi for all their assistance regarding the use of chiral GC and HPLC. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife, Amanda, for her patience, understanding and love during the time I have carried out this work. iv Table of Contents Abstract

  • Safe Handling of Organolithium Compounds in the Laboratory
    FEATURE Safe handling of organolithium compounds in the laboratory Organolithium compounds are extremely useful reagents in organic synthesis and as initiators in anionic polymerizations. These reagents are corrosive, flammable, and in certain cases, pyrophoric. Careful planning prior to execution of the experiment will minimize hazards to personnel and the physical plant. The proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for handling organolithium compounds will be identified. Procedures to minimize contact with air and moisture will be presented. Solutions of organolithium compounds can be safely transferred from the storage bottles to the reaction flask with either a syringe or a cannula. With the utilization of these basic techniques, organolithium compounds can be safely handled in the laboratory. By James A.

Hoepker, Jun Liang, Yun Ma, Kanwal J. Singh, and David B. Collum* Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Baker Laboratory, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853-1301, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The kinetics of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in tetrahydrofuran under nonequilibrium conditions are reviewed. These conditions correspond to a class of substrates in which the rates of LDA aggregation and solvation events are comparable to the rates at which various fleeting intermediates react with substrate. Substrates displaying these reactivities, by coincidence, happen to be those that react at tractable rates on laboratory time scales at −78 °C. In this strange region of nonlimiting behavior, rate-limiting steps are often poorly defined, sometimes involve deaggregation, and at other times include reaction with substrate. Changes in conditions routinely cause shifts in the rate-limiting steps, and autocatalysis is prevalent and can be acute. The studies are described in three distinct portions: (1) methods and strategies used to deconvolute complex reaction pathways, (2) the resulting conclusions about organolithium reaction mechanisms, and (3) perspectives on the concept of rate limitation reinforced by studies of LDA in tetrahydrofuran at −78 °C under nonequilibrium conditions. ithium diisopropylamide (LDA), a highly reactive and at −78 °Cconditions that are of singular importance in L selective Brønsted base, stands among the most prominent organic synthesisoccur at nearly the rates at which the reagents in organic synthesis.1 A survey of 500 total syntheses aggregates in Scheme 1 exchange.
