I would also like to thank my committee members; Dr. Shane Foister, Dr. Ziling (Ben) Xue, and Dr. Paul Dalhaimer. Great teachers do more than convey subject matter; they inspire us with enthusiasm, motivate with optimism, offer true support when needed, and provide us with the right questions. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to the Faculty of the Chemistry Department at the University of Tennessee. It has been a pleasure to work and learn with you. I would also like to specifically thank Dr. Ron Magid and Dr. George Schweitzer who were not only instrumental in developing my interest in pursuing a career in chemistry but provided the recommendations to do so. I would also like to express my sincerest thanks to the Kabalka Group. There is not enough paper nor time for me to truly express my how truly great it has been, thank you Kelly Hall, Li Yong, Travis Quick, Adam Pippin, Coltuclu Vitali, Thomas Moore, and David Blevins. I would also like to thank Brad Miller and Josh Abbott for all their help in making ACGS a better organization and for all the fun we had while doing it. To all my other friends who made this one of the best experiences of my life thus far, thank you. Finally, I am deeply grateful to my wife and family. Without your support, this goal might not have been realized. I would also like to express my sincerest gratitude to God. Thank you. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation summarizes research efforts focused on the use of boron and transition metal halides to form new carbon-carbon and carbon-halide bonds. The boron halide mediated alkyne-aldehyde coupling reaction to generate 1,3,5-triaryl-1,5-dihalo-1,4-dienes was reinvestigated in an attempt to explain the stereochemistry observed during changing of both the mode of addition and the reaction temperature. Either (Z,Z)-1,4-dienes or (Z,E)-1,4-dienes can be the predominant product depending on reaction conditions used. This mechanistic investigation also led to the discovery of several novel reactions. These include the stereoselective preparation of (Z)-3-chloroallylic ethers from the reaction of alkenylboron dichlorides with aryl aldehydes in the presence of an amine; the titanium(IV) halide coupling of alkoxides and alkynes; the haloallylation of aryl aldehydes with boron trihalide using different allylmetals; and the base induced elimination of the haloallylated products to form 1,3-dienes. The results of these studies strongly imply a cationic mechanism. The new reactions described herein can be characterized as atom-efficient, environmentally friendly, and capable of generating the desired products in good to excellent yields. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.

  • Coordination Chemistry in the Solid State: Cluster and Condensed Cluster-Halidesof the Early Transition Metals
    Pure&App/. Chern.,Vol. 64,No. 10, pp. 13951408,1992, Printed in Great Britain. @ 1992 IUPAC Coordination chemistry in the solid state: Cluster and condensed cluster-halidesof the early transition metals John D. Corbett Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 5001 1 U.S.A. Abstract - The "inner sphere" halides in M6X12 (edge-bridged) or M'gXg (face-capped) clusters are always augmented by six "outer sphere" halide (or other) ligands at the metal vertices. The inclusion of one of ca. 24 interstitials within M6X12 clusters of group 3 and 4 transition metals generates a large family of new cluster compounds that are stable in high temperature solid state systems. The electronic versatility provided by the centered interstitials greatly expands the variety of compositions, structures, and intercluster halogen-bridging modes. The condensation of metal clusters into a variety of infinite chain products, most of which are also centered, is also encountered. INTRODUCTION Coordination as a means of filling empty bonding sites about metal ions is a universal concept. Furthermore, spontaneous clustering of neighboring metals through clear metal - metal bond formation is by far the most common result in solid state systems containing reduced members of the early 4d and 5d transition metals. Scandium alone among the 3d metals behaves similarly. The ligated metal systems with localized reduction electrons that are so well known with 3d elements are thus not relevant. The few paramagnetic examples of metal clusters arise from M.O. levels that are incompletely filled with delocalized cluster-based electrons. Substantial parts of the solid-state cluster chemistry of reduced 4d and 5d metals may be identified with polynuclear coordination compounds.
