A b s t r a c t | iv ABSTRACT Olefin (alkene) metathesis can be used for the redistribution of carbon bonds to produce preferred higher range carbon number olefins (C10-C16) from low value medium chain olefins such as 1-hexene. In this study, the performance of various heterogeneous, tungsten based catalysts was investigated for the gas-phase linear cross metathesis of 1-hexene. The tested catalysts included tungsten trioxide on alumina, at various specific loadings, 8wt% tungsten trioxide on silica as well as 8wt% tungsten trioxide on silica, at various specific loadings of a potassium promoter. An existing lab-scale, fixed bed metathesis reactor system was used to conduct the required experimental work under steady state conditions. The experimental plan used for conducting the investigation of the alumina-supported catalyst was a combination of the One-Variable-At-a-Time (OVAT) approach as well as the factorial design method. The domain of the range under investigation was 8-20% for the specific loading of tungsten trioxide, 420-500oC for reaction temperature and 30-80 mol% for the feed composition of 1-hexene with constant space time. A half factorial experimental design was used for the WO3/SiO2 and potassium doped WO3/SiO2 catalysts. The potassium loadings of the 8wt% WO3/SiO2 catalyst were between 0.05-0.5wt%. Reaction temperatures of between 420- 460°C were used together with 1-hexene feed compositions of between 60-80mol% and space -1 times of 200-400g.min.mol . The WO3/Al2O3 catalyst was found to be an inferior catalyst for the metathesis of 1-hexene at all combinations of specific loadings and operating conditions tested. The highest yields obtained for both the detergent range olefins (C10-C16) and primary metathesis product decene (C10) were less than 1.5%. Changes made to the calcination temperature, calcination time and pH of the impregnation solution during the catalyst preparation stages had no significant effect on the yields produced. The WO3/Al2O3 catalyst was found to behave more as an isomerization catalyst rather than one for the metathesis reaction. The optimum reaction conditions determined when investigating the 8wt% WO3/SiO2 catalyst were found to be a reaction temperature of 460°C, a feed gas composition of 60mol% 1-hexene and a space time of 400g.min.mol-1. The conversion of 1-hexene, the yield of the detergent range olefins and the yield of decene at the above mentioned reaction conditions were 82%, 8.30% and 5.92% respectively. A b s t r a c t | v Doping of the WO3/SiO2 catalyst with potassium was found to be successful in reducing the amount of isomerization and increasing the yields of both the detergent range olefins and decene by approximately 1.5% and 2% respectively when doping with 0.1 and 0.5wt% potassium. The experimental runs conducted were at the optimum reaction conditions obtained using the 8wt% WO3/SiO2 catalyst. The highest selectivity of the detergent range olefins (24.64%) and decene (23.62%) was obtained when using the 0.5wt% K doped WO3/SiO2 catalyst. At the optimised reaction conditions, the 0.5wt% potassium loading on WO3/SiO2 performed the best.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

  • Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids
    Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids A Thesis Submitted for a PhD University of York Department of Chemistry 2010 Matthew James Palframan Abstract The work presented in this thesis has focused on the development of novel and concise syntheses of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids, and especial approaches towards (±)-protoemetinol (a), which is a key precursor of a range of Alangium alkaloids such as psychotrine (b) and deoxytubulosine (c). The approaches include the use of a key radical cyclisation to form the tri-cyclic core. O O O N N N O O O H H H H H H O N NH N Protoemetinol OH HO a Psychotrine Deoxytubulosine b c Chapter 1 gives a general overview of radical chemistry and it focuses on the application of radical intermolecular and intramolecular reactions in synthesis. Consideration is given to the mediator of radical reactions from the classic organotin reagents, to more recently developed alternative hydrides. An overview of previous synthetic approaches to a range of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids is then explored. Chapter 2 follows on from previous work within our group, involving the use of phosphorus hydride radical addition reactions, to alkenes or dienes, followed by a subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. It was expected that the tri-cyclic core of the Alangium alkaloids could be prepared by cyclisation of a 1,7-diene, using a phosphorus hydride to afford the phosphonate or phosphonothioate, however this approach was unsuccessful and it highlighted some limitations of the methodology. Chapter 3 explores the radical and ionic chemistry of a range of silanes.

Increasing the TIBA concen- tration, the MAO solubility augments in the polymerization milieu, as well as the catalyst activity and the comonomer incorporation. Increasing the AlTOTAL/Zr molar ratio, catalyst activity becomes higher, while comonomer incorporation remained constant at around 8 wt% for molar ratios between 0 and 5000. For AlTOTAL/Zr molar ratios higher than 5,000 comonomer incorporation increased gradually.
