My father has always been an inspiration to my chemical career and encouraged me throughout my graduate experience. My mother has always been there for me through the highs and the lows. No matter what path I decided to take, both of my parents were always extremely supportive and loving. My brother was there to keep me in check by reminding me that life is not all about work and that a little exercise can provide relief during the most stressful times. To my family (Rico and Brendelton, too), thank you for everything that was granted to me through my chemical career. in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express gratitude to my graduate advisor, Professor Charles K. Zercher. His patience throughout my graduate studies has been vital to my understanding of chemistry. Starting with limited synthetic skills, Professor Zercher has molded me into an advanced chemist in the laboratory. Most importantly, he made time to help me with life situations and to overcome many of my shortcomings. For this, I thank Professor Zercher and his wonderful family. I would also like to thank all of the chemistry professors at the University of New Hampshire. Professor Planalp has provided me with organometallic knowledge, as well as motivational music every Sunday from 2-4 pm, which helped to keep my focus in lab. Professor Weisman, though intimidating at first, has taught me very valuable mechanistic skills that have carried on throughout my graduate career. Professor Greenberg and Johnson have both sparked my interest in computational chemistry, which was obsolete when I first started in the chemistry program. Professor Wong has given me insight on basic inorganic chemistry that has been useful in the understanding of the zinc-mediated homologation. Professor Wong was also available to console with at anytime, especially during my second year. I need to acknowledge my late and good friend Evan Southwick. He was an excellent chemist and friend in the beginning of my studies. Through him I have gained iv an appreciation for life and hard work required to become a successful chemist. Much love. I would like to express immense gratitude toward Dr. Thomas Jenkins and his family. Dr. Jenkins offered me an excellent opportunity to work at his company, Pharmacofore, under the guidance of Dr. Craig Husfeld. Working at Pharmacofore provided me with industrial experience and an appreciation for medicinal chemistry. Dr. Husfeld was a great mentor and most importantly a good friend. During my time at Pharmacofore, Dr. Jenkins and his family (Sherri, Alex, Max, Friar Lawrence, 8-foot, and Sister) opened their doors and provided me with a home away from home. Brian Sliter and family have always been there to support me in the toughest of times during graduate school. During the rough times, his family always invited me to their home and provided me with amazing food. For this I owe them much gratitude and appreciation. I also must show a great appreciation for the Zercher research group. Alex Jacobine, Wei-Min Lin, Karina Thorn, Matt Bixby, Jenn Mazzone, Brian Sliter, Tim Henderson, Matt Mower (CEO of Kemfinder), Pete "the beat" Moran, Carley Spencer, Deepthi Bhogadhi, Aida Ajaz, and Jared Pearl have been vital in my development as a synthetic chemist and have been great friends throughout. All of the fun and excitement I had in the lab is primarily due to these individuals. Lastly, I would like to thank the best administrative assistants ever, Cindi Rohwer and Peg Torch. v TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS LIST OF SCHEMES LIST OF FIGURES LIST OF TABLES LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ABSTRACT CHAPTER I.
