The proposal describes the development of a mild and efficient method for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of vinyl chromans. The chroman motif is present in numerous small molecules of biological importance and the current methods available to access these substrates are limited. The SN2' allylic substitution chemistry of trichloroacetimidates using a tethered phenol nucleophile will be examined using chiral cobalt oxazoline palladium(11) catalysts. An efficient and convergent method to access a variety of key cyclization substrates will be developed. The scope of functional groups and substitution patterns compatible with this system will be explored. A variety of heterocycles with important biological activity may also be synthesized using this chemistry. This methodology will allow easy access to a broader range of biologically active small molecules and their analogues. This proposal describes the development of a general method to access biologically important small molecules in a selective manner. This methodology will be beneficial to the synthetic community because a vast number of small molecules and their analogues will be readily available and their biological activity can be explored.

GOALS FOR KIRSCHSTEIN-NRSA FELLOWSHIP TRAINING AND CAREER My main interest in research is the development of novel methodology and its application in organic synthesis. Currently, my specific area of research focuses on intramolecular reactions of allylic trichloroacetimidates. I hope to expand upon the cobalt oxazoline palladacycle-catalyzed SN2' allylic substitution reactions that have been developed in our group_ By studying these new reactions, I hope to gain new insight into these types of transformations and develop new tools for the synthetic community. During my graduate studies, I would like to further develop my research skills by learning new techniques and improving my ability to approach, analyze, and solve problems in organic chemistry. I am interested in applications of organic chemistry in a government laboratory setting. I would like to contribute to the well- being and health of our society through research and development. 19.ACTIVITIES PLANNED UNDER THIS AWARD.

To better control the regioselectivity in these reactions, some functional groups on the sub- strate may be used as directing groups, guiding the reactivity to an ortho position. Herein, we describe a methodology to score the relative strength of such directing groups in palladium-catalyzed aromatic CÀH activation. The results have been collected into a scale that serves to predict the regio- selectivity on molecules with multiple competing directing groups. We demonstrate that this scale yields accurate predictions on over a hundred examples, taken from the literature. In addition to the regioselectivity prediction on complex molecules, the knowledge of the relative strengths of directing groups can also be used to work with new combinations of functionalities, exploring un- charted chemical space.

It is shown that the initial steps of this reaction are the active catalyst formation and the first C–Cl bond activation proceeds via the “base-assisted oxidative addition” mechanism. Overall, these steps of the reaction proceed via 16.2 kcal/mol free energy barrier for the C–Cl bond activation and are highly exergonic. Importantly, the base directly participates in the C–Cl bond cleavage introduces a mechanistic switch of the Pd(0)/Pd(II) oxidation and makes the reaction more exergonic. The following steps of the reaction are palladacycle and Pd-aryne formations, among which the palladacycle formation is found to be favorable: it proceeds with a moderate C–H activation barrier and is slightly exergonic. Although the Pd-aryne formation requires a slightly lower energy barrier, it is highly endergonic: therefore, the participation of the Pd-aryne complex, or its derivatives, in the Pd- catalyzed annulative chlorophenylene dimerization in the presence of Cs2CO3 seems to be unlikely.

  • Pd-Pincer Complexes Containing Six-Membered Rings That Are More Active Allylation Catalysts Than Five-Membered Ring Analogues
    Pd-pincer complexes containing six-membered rings that are more active allylation catalysts than five-membered ring analogues Dan E. Wise,a Natalie E. Pridmore,a Paul G. Pringlea aSchool of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Cantock’s Close, Bristol, BS8 1TS, U.K. Abstract A series of symmetric and non-symmetric PCP-pincer complexes have been prepared and an evaluation of their activity in catalytic allylic alkylation carried out. The X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy data suggest that metallacycles containing one (or two) 6-membered rings are inherently more rigid than initially anticipated. The observed catalyst activity is found to increase as the metallacycle size increases from 5 to 6. Introduction Since the pioneering work on cyclometalated phosphine pincer complexes by Shaw et al. and amine pincer complexes by van Koten et al. in the 1970s, chemists have exploited the tunability of pincer complexes to develop many thousands of variants.1,2 The rich chemistry of pincer complexes is attributed to the many points of derivatisation present, such as the donor atoms and substituents, backbone structure, metal centre, and ancillary ligands. The applications of transition metal pincer complexes in catalysis have been extensively reviewed.3–7 Most pincer complexes are derived from C2v symmetric ligands which give rise to complexes with two fused 5-membered metallacycles (i.e. 5,5-metallacycles).3 Less well studied are pincer complexes with fused 6-membered metallacycles (i.e. 6,6-metallacycles).8–10 Pincer complexes containing 6-membered metallacycles have a larger P-M-P bite angle and would be anticipated to be more conformationally flexible.

Kostas Received: 15 March 2017; Accepted: 25 April 2017; Published: 9 May 2017 Abstract: Carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions are among the most important processes in organic chemistry and Suzuki–Miyaura reactions are the most widely used protocols. For a decade, green chemistry and particularly catalysis and continuous flow, have shown immense potential in achieving the goals of “greener synthesis”. To date, it seems difficult to conceive the chemistry of the 21st century without the industrialization of continuous flow process in the area of pharmaceuticals, drugs, agrochemicals, polymers, etc. A large variety of palladium Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions have been developed using a continuous flow sequence for preparing the desired biaryl derivatives. Our objective is to focus this review on the continuous flow Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Keywords: palladium; continuous flow; Suzuki–Miyaura; cross-coupling 1. Introduction Among the main reactions in organic chemistry, C–C bond formation via a cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by transition metals is undoubtedly the most important and has been exploited very widely in the recent years.

  • End Functionalization of Polyisobutylenes and Their
    END FUNCTIONALIZATION OF POLYISOBUTYLENES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN DYEING POLYOLEFINS AND IN HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS A Dissertation by NILUSHA PRIYADARSHANI BORALUGODAGE Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, David E. Bergbreiter Committee Members, Daniel Singleton Karen L. Wooley Jodie L. Lutkenhaus Head of Department, David H. Russell August 2013 Major Subject: Chemistry Copyright 2013 Nilusha Priyadarshani Boralugodage ABSTRACT Non-polar phase selectively soluble polyisobutylene (PIB) is a useful polymer as a polymer support for homogeneous catalysts. Substitution of PIB onto other useful ligands alters the solubility properties of original ligands. However, such chemical modification of PIB polymers is challenging due to its limited synthetic availability. This dissertation describes the end functionalization of this terminal alkene functionalized PIB into variety of other functional groups via variety of chemistries such as electrophilic aromatic substitutions, nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions and alkylation reactions. PIB-anilines and PIB-phenols can be prepared via electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of anilines and phenols by PIB-alkene. Excellent oxidative and chemical resistance and nonpolar phase selective solubility of these modified PIB polymers allow these materials to be useful as soluble polymer supports for ligands and transition metal catalysts. This dissertation details immobilization of palladium and ruthenium catalysts on to these modified PIB ligands and their catalytic properties and catalyst recyclability. PIB-bound palladium catalyst was used as a recyclable homogeneous catalyst for cross coupling reactions in a thermomorphic liquid/liquid separation system- biphasic at a lower temperature and monophasic at a higher temperature.

Key words: acylhydrazone, palladacycle, Mirozoki-Heck reaction, oxyarylation. INTRODUCTION (Beletskaya and Cheprakov 2004, Dupont et al. 2005). Palladacycles were discovered in the mid- Their high thermal stability in the solid state, 1960s as intermediates in palladium- mediated easy preparation and ready modulation of both steric transformations and have been employed as active and electronic properties make them affordable intermediates in cascade transformations leading to tools in organic synthesis.
