It is difficult to mention all the people who have made such a difference to me during this period of my life, although there are a number who must be mentioned. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Ian and Richard for all the help, advice and encouragement they have given me over the last 3 ½ years. In particular to Ian who has kept me focused and greeted every, “I’ve had an idea” with (in addition to a wry smile) critical analysis and open discussion, from which I have learnt a great deal. I would also like to thank my CASE supervisors Drs. Mark York and Zoran Rankovic, and all the people working at the Newhouse site of Organon/Schering- Plough/Merck (the name keeps changing!) who made my placement there both intellectually stimulating and enjoyable. I need to thank the EPSRC for their funding, without which this work would never have started. In addition, I am in debt to the technical staff who have helped me throughout – Heather, Ralph and Dave for their NMR expertise, Trevor and Ben for running all my mass spectra and Adrian and Rob for running the crystallography. I must also thank all the friends I have made during my time in York. In particular both the Fairlamb and Taylor groups past and present who have made my time so enjoyable. I would also like to give a special mention to those who helped most during the beginning (Anant and Ben) whilst I was finding my feet, those who have been with me the whole way through (Tony, Tom, Jon, Johnny, Russ and Al) and those who have provided me with a welcome distraction on a regular basis (Stu, Rob and Quentin). Finally, I must thank those whose love and support means the most to me – to my Mum, Dad and Deborah who have always had faith in me, and to Kathryn who has put up with me and always been there when needed – I dedicate this thesis to you. iv Abstract This thesis describes the progress made towards the synthesis of the natural product phacelocarpus-2-pyrone A and the development of novel synthetic methodology for the synthesis of functionalised 2-pyrones. Initial studies focused on the synthesis of the natural product and the applications of Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions using the interesting palladium catalyst, CatCat. O O Br PPh3 O O Pd Ph3P N O CatCat Phacelocarpus-2-pyrone A Key findings in the studies towards the natural product include: i) the synthesis of two 6-alkyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrone intermediates suitable for providing a synthetic platform for future work; ii) the first synthesis of a 2-pyrone bound vinyl ether; iii) the synthesis of a 19 membered macrocycle containing 2-pyrone and 1,4-en-yne functionality.

It is well documented in historical literature with examples dating back to the ancient Egyptians, who used tea brewed from willow bark to treat conditions such as fever. 1 The analgesic effect of this treatment is now known to have originated from the medicinal properties of salicylic acid ( 1), a natural product found within willow bark. Subsequently a more potent form of 1 was developed, namely acetylsalicylic acid (more commonly known as Aspirin) one of the biggest selling pharmaceutical products in today’s market. 1 Other molecules can be found throughout nature which posess medicinal properties, such as quinine ( 2) (a treatment for malaria). 1 Natural products are usually in very limited supply, and in some cases as little as a few milligrams of the desired product can be isolated from a kilogram of biological material. As a result, the harvesting of natural products from nature rarely represents a feasible supply of such compounds, however the overexpression of the relevant gene in bacteria, such as E. coli , and subsequent fermentation can provide large scale quantities. 2 Unfortunately, the fermentation approach is not feasible for the screening of large numbers of natural products and has consequently resulted in the development of natural product synthesis as one of the key areas of research in organic synthesis.

ABSTRACT Over the past 20 years, small molecule solid phase synthesis has become a powerful tool in the discovery of novel mol- ecular materials. In the development of organic chemistry, the carbon-carbon bond formation has always been one of the most useful and fundamental reaction. The current review summarizes recent developments in metal-catalyzed cou- pling reactions. The following method is discussed in detail—the cross-coupling of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids (the Suzuki coupling), and the others C-C bond formation reactions as the palladium-catalyzed reaction between an aryl and (or) alkyl halide and a vinyl functionality (the Heck reaction); and the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of organostannyl reagents with a variety of organic electrophiles (the Stille reaction)—are mentioned.

  • Organometallic Chemistry
    ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY 1 Organometallic Chemistry (Prelude) What is Organometallic Chemistry? Organometallic chemistry refers to reactions that use the classes of compounds (R-M) that contain a covalent bond between carbon and a metal. They are prepared either by direct reaction of the metal with an organic compound (metallation) or by replacement of a metal in an organometallic compound with another metal (transmetallation). 12:44 PM 2 Organometallic Chemistry Why Go Organometallic Chemistry What is so special about the Organometallic approach to organic synthesis? Classical organic syntheses that proceed by the SN2 pathway require a strong nucleophile attacking an electrophilic site to be effective. Such reactions are of limited scope. For instance, the formation of biaryl systems via the classical substitution reaction is difficult to achieve. 12:44 PM 3 Organometallic Chemistry Applications Organometallic chemistry offers a way out of this dilemma. Through special organometallic reactions, a variety of carbon-carbon bonds can be formed and even biaryl systems can be readily synthesized. This possibility has expanded the scope of their use in organic synthesis since bonds that were hitherto difficult to form through the classical syntheses can almost now be routinely formed. Organometallic chemistry can make possible the synthesis of 12:44 PM pharmacologically relevant natural products containing biaryl units. 4 Organomagnesium or Grignard Reagents R-Mg-X The use of organometallic reagents in organic synthesis began around 1899 when Victor Grignard discovered that alkyl halides reacted with magnesium metal in diethylether to give homogenous solutions. The Grignard reagents proved to be very reactive carbanion nucelophiles and strong bases capable of abstracting highly acidic protons attached to heteroatoms such as O, N and S, and have remained very useful synthetic reagents ever since.

Atkinson December, 2016 Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Andrew Hildering 2016 i Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Jeffrey Atkinson, for allowing me to pursue my MSc thesis under his supervision. It was because of his constant support, understanding and guidance throughout my time in his lab that I have made it this far in my studies. The experience has been great, and I am able to thank him for the extensive knowledge I have gained through my two years of graduate studies. I also would like to express my respect and admiration to my thesis committee members: Dr. Tomas Hudlicky, and Dr. Travis Dudding. The two of you were always more than willing to give me helpful advice, and allow me to use your equipment. The concepts and subjects you taught helped me immensely through my studies, and will hopefully continue to help me in the future. I would like to further extend my thanks to Mr. Rasvan Simionescu, and Mrs. Liqun Qiu for all their time and assistance in the acquisition and interpretation of spectra. I wish to thank my group members and all the co-workers I have had the privilege of working with: Mikel Ghelfi, Nick Krueger, Candace Panagabko, Parthajit Mukherjee, Matilda Baptist, Ravi Shekar, Nico Bonanno, and Cody Wilson for their constructive suggestions and discussions.
