INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If if was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Swenton Dr. Jack Hine Dr. William G. layers Dr. Paul Go Gassman A dviser Department of Chemistry To Patricia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author -wishes to thank Dr. Paul G. Gassman for suggesting this problem., for his many ideas throughout the course of this work, and for many stimulating discussions about chemistry and sundry other topics. To his collegues in chemistry, the author is indebted for their assistance in solving the day to day problems that arise while doing chemical research. To Clinton Harrington, the author leaves without any remorse the Sfaces. Special mention must be made of Rogie Drewes, who was a good friend of, beer drinker with, and screw-off with the a u th o r. * Finally, the author is also deeply grateful to his wife, Pat, for her patience, understanding, and encouragement during the course of his graduate career. VITA Gordon Gruetzmacher, son of Carl H. and Viola Mueller Gruetzmacher, ■was born on November 7, 19^6 in Columbus, Texas. He attended primary and secondary schools in various small towns in South Texas. For two years, September, 1965 thru May, 1967> he attended Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. In September, 1967 he entered The University of Texas at Austin where he recieved a B. S. in Chemistry in May, 1969- He married Patricia H ill of Sinton, Texas, on August 22, 1969. Ctoe month later, he entered the Graduate School of The Ohio State University. While at Ohio State, he held the positions of teaching assistant and research associate. He recieved his Ph. D. in organic chemistry from The Ohio State University in March of 197^-- TABLE OF CONTEST IS Page ADKN0WLEDGMEN1S.............................................................................................................. i i Y I T A o............................................................................................................................... i i i TABLESrx ILLUS TRATIONS................................................................... x INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................... 1 PART I.
