ABSTRACT A wide variety of materials characterization techniques are used to investigate physicochemical properties of tris(5-acetyl-3-thienyl)methane (TATM) inclusion compounds with, in part, alkyl halide guests and alkyl halide guest families. The results are presented as nine different projects. In the first, we use NMR and X-ray diffraction to characterize the TATM inclusion compound with 1,2-dichloroethane that crystallizes in at least two different forms. We came up with a simple NMR model to describe the motion of the guest, however since it was not consistent with the XRD data, we came up with a second model that was consistent with both experiments. In the second, we characterized TATM inclusion compounds with alkyl halide guest families. We found, based on DSC results, that TATM forms more thermally stable inclusions with guests that have smaller, more electronegative substituents, perhaps due to stronger dipole interactions between host and guest. The third and fourth projects dealt with competitive inclusion experiments and the nature of the inclusion mixtures respectively, for the same guests as in the second project above. Alkyl bromides were the most preferred guests, followed by alkyl chlorides and alkyl iodides. We reasoned this on the basis of a balance of forces of cage stretching for larger guests and lack of extensive dispersion forces between guest and host for smaller guests. The alkyl bromides bring about a balance of the forces to qualify as the most preferred guest. In the fifth project, we characterize TATM inclusion compounds with C 1(CH 2)„C1 guests (n = 1 to 10), using techniques such as PXRD, l3C CP/MAS NMR and DSC. Following this, we report a TATM inclusion compound with 1,3-dichloropropane guest that crystallizes in five 2:1 H:G forms. This is an unprecedented discovery, and suggests that minor changes in synthetic procedures can have a profound effect on the structure of the resulting complex. In the next chapter, we report a study similar to that described above for Cl(CH 2)nCl guests, but now we study Br(CH 2)nCH 3 (n = 1 to 15) guests, and compare results among the two groups. Next, we report the structure of the hydrophobic TATM host with water as a guest. Finally, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a novel crystalline guest-free form of TATM. ill Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would not have been possible were it not for the kind assistance of several people for whose efforts I wish to acknowledge here: First and foremost, I would like to show appreciation to my graduate supervisor, Professor John Ripmeester, who helped to guide me through to the completion of this project. He was always willing to listen, sometimes providing interesting ideas, and keeping me on a straight and narrow course. Thank you Dr Ripmeester. Secondly, 1 wish to thank Dr. Gary Enright, who obtained all of the crystal structures in this thesis. Without his kind help, my thesis would have been very incomplete and one­ dimensional. He never once complained when I had "yet another" batch of crystals to examine. Thank you Dr Enright. I would also like to thank Konstantin Udachin, for preparing most all of the single crystal packing diagrams contained in this thesis, taking time out of his busy schedule to help me. Thank you Kostiya. I would like to thank Don Leek, who measured all of the 'H and 13C liquid NMR spectra contained in my thesis (and a jot more not in the thesis). Thank you for your kind assistance Don. Thanks to our glass-blowers, Mike Vandenhoff and Darcy Doering, for giving your time to help me. Also thanks to the computer support group Randy Holmes, Lyne Seguin and Claude Cantin. Thank you to our librarian Bonnie Bullock for your help. I wish to thank the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) committee for me awarding a post-graduate scholarship that 1 held for two years. I am also grateful to the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) committee for awarding me a post­ graduate scholarship that I held for one year. I also wish to acknowledge Carleton University for awarding me an entrance scholarship and the H. J. Bernstein memorial award. Finally, I wish to thank my thesis committee, for taking time out their busy schedules to read my thesis and ask me interesting questions. I hope we all can learn something new. iv Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. MOTIVATION My PhD project involves physicochemical characterization of TATM inclusion compounds, at least in part, with alkyl halide guests and alkyl halide guest families. One type of study (Chapters VII and XII) involves characterization of a single guest (1,2- dichloroethane and 1,3-dichloropropane, respectively), while other projects (Chapters VIII/IX/X, XI and XIII) encompass guest families (alkyl and aryl halides, a,co- dichloroalkanes and 1-bromoalkanes, respectively). We wish to examine how the physical properties of the TATM inclusion compound change as the guest's structure is systematically altered (eg. changing halogen substituents or alkyl chain lengthening). The other two projects involve preparation and characterization of an expressly hydrophobic TATM host with water as a guest, and the synthesis and description of a novel polycrystalline guest-free TATM structure. This fact that TATM will incorporate practically anything in which it can be dissolved itself justifies a detailed study of this host system, namely the driving forces and intermolecular interactions in TATM inclusion compounds that lead to its remarkable inclusion versatility. The results presented in this thesis are primarily focused on using several physical characterization techniques to describe properties of these TATM inclusion compounds. For example, single crystal X-ray diffraction allows one to visualize the intermolecular interactions that lead to the remarkable versatility of the TATM host. However, this technique measures only a single selected crystal, so we also used powder X-ray diffraction and l3C CP/MAS NMR to determine whether the selected crystal was representative of the bulk sample. This is important, since a number of TATM inclusions are known to crystallize in more than one form. Deuterium solid-state NMR allows a description of the dynamics of an enclathrated guest molecule. Thermal techniques (TGA and DSC) allow a measurement of relative thermal stabilities for a series of related guests. Competitive inclusion experiments may provide complementary information, in that more thermally stable samples may be preferentially incorporated by TATM from a guest mixture. In summary, by employing a comprehensive range of techniques, we hope to characterize our TATM compounds in as complete a manner as possible. v Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    A Biosynthetically Inspired Synthetic Route to Substituted Furans, and its Application to the Total Synthesis of the Furan Fatty Acid F5 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy Robert Jack Lee Supervisors: Dr Gareth J. Pritchard and Dr Marc C. Kimber 1 Thesis Abstract Dietary fish oil supplementation has long been shown to have significant health benefits, largely stemming from the anti-inflammatory activity of the ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) present in fish oils. The anti-inflammatory properties of these fatty acids has been linked to beneficial health effects, such as protecting the heart, in individuals consuming diets rich in fish, or supplemented with fish oils.1 These effects are highly notable in the Māori people native to coastal regions of New Zealand; the significantly lower rates of heart problems compared to the inland populous has been attributed to the consumption of the green lipped mussel Perna Canaliculus. Commercially available health supplements based on the New Zealand green lipped mussel include a freeze-dried powder and a lipid extract (Lyprinol®), the latter of which has shown anti- inflammatory properties comparable to classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Naproxen.2 GCMS analysis of Lyprinol by Murphy et al. showed the presence of a class of ω-4 and ω-6 PUFAs bearing a highly electron rich tri- or tetra-alkyl furan ring, which were designated furan fatty acids (F-acids).3 Due to their instability, isolation of F- acids from natural sources cannot be carried out and a general synthetic route toward this class of natural products was required.
