Performing the hydrogenation in the presence of chlorine-containing solvent, e.g. dichloromethane, hydrogenolysation reaction of chlorine also took place. In this case unexpected chlorin- ated product could be observed. Performing the hydrogenation reaction only in the pres- ence of methanol, the expected reduced derivative was obtained. Upon bromination of vindoline with excess NBS, oxidation products with ring contraction and developing an oxygen bridge were isolated. The fluorination reactions of vinblastine using Selectfluor® and xenon difluoride as the fluorination reagents were unsuccessful because of the de- composition of the starting material.

Many common routes to these compounds, however, are low yielding and or/expensive. This thesis is concerned with novel methods for the synthesis of fluoro-aromatics and fluoro- pyrazoles using conventional fluorinating agents, such as Selectfluor™, as well as using elemental fluorine and the flow reactor technology developed in Durham. Firstly, elemental fluorine was used to fluorinate a range of aromatics containing electron-donating substituents, using both batch and flow methods.

  • A General Strategy for C(Sp3)–H Functionalization with Nucleophiles
    1 A general strategy for C(sp3)–H functionalization with nucleophiles using 2 methyl radical as a hydrogen atom abstractor 3 4 Isabelle Nathalie-Marie Leibler,‡ Makeda A. Tekle-Smith,‡ and Abigail G. Doyle 5 6 Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, United States 7 8 The development of general strategies for C(sp3)–H functionalization is critical to the 9 advancement of modern methods for molecular diversification. In recent years, photoredox 10 catalysis has provided many approaches to C(sp3)–H functionalization that enable selective 11 oxidation and C(sp3)–C bond formation via the intermediacy of a carbon-centered radical. 12 While highly enabling, functionalization of the carbon-centered radical is largely mediated 13 by electrophilic reagents, many of which require multi-step preparation and feature low 14 functional group tolerance. By contrast, nucleophilic reagents represent an abundant and 15 practical reagent class. However, few strategies for nucleophilic C(sp3)–H functionalization 16 from carbon-centered radicals have been identified and existing methodologies either 17 require strong stoichiometric oxidants or are not general for diverse nucleophile 18 incorporation. Here we describe a strategy that transforms C(sp3)–H bonds into 19 carbocations via sequential hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxidative radical-polar 20 crossover, effecting formal hydride abstraction in the absence of a strong Lewis acid or 21 strong oxidant. The resulting carbocation can be functionalized by a variety of 22 nucleophiles—including halides, water, alcohols, thiols, an electron-rich arene, and an 23 azide—to affect diverse bond formations. Reaction development is demonstrated in the 24 context of nucleophilic fluorination of secondary and tertiary benzylic and allylic C(sp3)–H 25 bonds and is applicable to late-stage diversification of bioactive molecules.

Supervisor: Dr. Bill Morandi Co-supervisor: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Sander Acknowledgments i Acknowledgments The acknowledgements are going to be the most difficult pages to write. My sincere gratitude goes in the first place to Bill. In the last four years he passed on a lot of experience and enthusiasm for organic chemistry. However, before being an excellent supervisor, he has been an older brother. Entering his office, I have always found a nice word or a joke and I have never been afraid to discuss with him a reaction mechanism or a concern in private life. I will always be thankful to him for what he taught me and for the nice environment he built. I truly believe he is a wonderful boss and a great person. I would also like to thank Prof. Sander who agreed to supervise my thesis. His class at the Bochum University has been inspiring and convinced me to pursue my studies in organic chemistry, investigating reaction mechanisms.

Herein, we report regioselective ammoniofluorination of unactivated alkenes through photochemical means. A one-pot transformation of the ammonium fluoride products into pharmaceutically relevant β-fluoropiperazines is highlighted. Furthermore, a substrate-guided reactivity switch is observed: certain alkenes are shown to react with the same fluorinating reagent to instead give the less-substituted fluoride. We hope that the ammoniofluorination reaction will be of utility in the area of medicinal chemistry, where nitrogen and fluorine are among the most important heteroatoms. 1. INTRODUCTION tionic manifolds, afford the less-substituted fluoride instead with The fluorofunctionalization of CC bonds is an active and no incorporation of the DABCO moiety (Figure 1). timely topic of study that complements the general renaissance in fluorination methodology. The goals are multifold and include the synthesis of biologically active fluorinated molecules,1 chemical intermediates,2 and pharmaceuticals.3 From the standpoint of reactivity, mild and inexpensive conditions are desired.4 The mechanistic aspects of fluoro- functionalization methods are significant as well, reactions involving an electrophilic fluorinating reagent are often expected to result in different regiochemical outcomes than reactions in which fluoride ion is the reagent.5 Instead conceive of a situation in which the structure of the alkene substrate Downloaded via JOHNS HOPKINS UNIV on November 12, 2018 at 16:49:33 (UTC).
