Part A: Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Bond Functionalization Part B: Studies Toward the Synthesis of Ginkgolide C using Gold(I) CatalysisLapointe, David January 2012 (has links)
The field of metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations is an incredibly vibrant and spans beyond the formations of biaryl motifs. The introduction chapter will cover the mechanistic aspects of the C–H bond functionalization with metal-carboxylate complexes. The mechanistic facets of this reaction will be the main conducting line between the different sections and chapters of the first part of this thesis. In the second chapter, will be described additives that can readily promoted C–H bond arylation of poorly reactive substrates. More specifically, we will revisit the intramolecular direct arylation reaction we will demonstrate the effect of pivalic acid as a co-catalyst by developing milder reaction conditions. In the third chapter we be described experimental and computational studies which suggested that the a single pathway might be involved in the palladium-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization of a wide range of (hetero)arene. Following this we will describe a general set of conditions for the direct arylation of wide range of heteroarenes. Also, we will present two different strategies to selectively and predictably arylate substrates containing multiple functionalizable C–H bonds. In the fourth chapter will be presented our efforts toward the development of new C–H bond functionalization methods in which we could apply our knowledge on the C–H bond cleavage and apply it to the formation of new scaffolds. The development of two new palladium-catalyzed methods were also described. In the fifth chapter, our effort toward the development of ligands to specifically promoted C–H bond cleavage will be presented. In the sixth chapter will be presented the latest results on the study of the mechanism of the C–H bond cleavage combining experimental and computational studies. In part B of this thesis will be presented our strategy toward the total synthesis of ginkgolide C that included two gold(I)-catalyzed reactions as key steps in the preparation of the spiro[4.4]nonane core of this natural product. The first studies on the feasibility of the key steps of the synthesis will be described.

A model of the labor surplus dualistic economy in the notions of J.C.H. Fei and G. RanisKrumins, Juris Talivaldis January 1967 (has links)
The dynamic dual sector model of this thesis is constructed in the notions of John C.H. Fei and Gustav Ranis as expressed in their book, Development of the Labor Surplus Economy.¹ The construction takes the form of three stages of balanced economic growth which are demarcated by the value of the agricultural marginal product of labor; stage one is concerned with the time period when this equals zero, stage two when it lies between zero and the real agricultural wage, and stage three, which is omitted, when it is equal to the real agricultural wage. The model shows that in the large labor surplus type of underdeveloped economy, successful development is more a question of domestic policy, rather than foreign aid or trade. The distinctive features of the type of economy analyzed are "disguised" unemployment and institutional wage in the agricultural sector coupled with a small, growing industrial sector. The solution for development lies in the relocation of this surplus labor in the agricultural sector to the industrial sector, with a consequent increase in productivity per capita in the agricultural sector, where a smaller percentage of the total labor force now provides the entire economy with food and basic inputs. This, then, is accompanied by an increase in the industrial employment and development, the expansion of which depends on the two real resource components, the agricultural "surplus" and agricultural labor force which are provided by the agricultural sector. The essential feature of the industrial sector is seen to be the absorption of surplus labor from the agricultural sector, which in turn results in the expansion of the industrial output and economic growth. / Arts, Faculty of / Vancouver School of Economics / Graduate

The Utilization of Sulfonylhydrazones as New Radical Precursors for Asymmetric Radical C–H Alkylation via Co(II)-Based Metalloradical CatalysisWen, Xin January 2019 (has links)
Thesis advisor: X. Peter Zhang / Asymmetric C–H functionalization represents one of the central topics in modern organic chemistry, which allows for the direct installation of functional groups onto ubiquitous C–H bonds in organic molecules. Among numerous elegant strategies, transition metal-catalyzed C–H alkylation with diazo compounds represents one of the most powerful methods for C–C bond formation. Different from Fischer metallocarbene-based C–H insertion reactions, cobalt(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC) is recently proven to be capable of activating acceptor/acceptor diazo compounds for radical C–H alkylation reactions via H-atom abstraction. In this dissertation, we have developed several systems by utilizing less-explored aryl and alkyl diazomethanes as new radical precursors for highly enantioselective radical C–H alkylation reactions, which permit the efficient synthesis of different optically active heterocyclic compounds. First, we have demonstrated the feasibility of using aryl aldehyde-derived sulfonylhydrazones as new radical precursors for enantioselective radical C–H alkylation to synthesis enantioenriched 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives. Notably, a general and mild way for in situ generation of diazo compounds have been identified by using 2,4,6-triisopropyl sulfonyl hydrazone as diazo precursor, which allow us to regulate the reaction temperature to achieve the high enantioselectivity for the desired radical reactions. Second, the utility of Co(II)-based MRC has been further highlighted by enantioselective indoline synthesis. Through the design and synthesis of new catalysts, the system is shown to have a broad spectrum of substrate scope, forming various 2-substituted indolines with up to 98% yield and 96% ee. A series of mechanistic studies further support the underlying stepwise radical alkylation pathway. Finally, we further expand the applicability of MRC to even more challenging diazo compounds, aliphatic diazomethanes. Starting from alkyl aldehyde-derived sulfonylhydrazones as diazo precursors, the Co(II)-based radical alkylation reactions allow for the enantioselective synthesis for common 2-substituted tetrahydrofuran structures with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2019. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Enantioselective Transformations Promoted by Cooperative Functions of an Achiral Lewis Acid and a Chiral Lewis Acid:Cao, Min January 2021 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Masayuki Wasa / Thesis advisor: Amir H. Hoveyda / This dissertation describes the development of cooperative catalyst systems that contain an achiral Lewis acid and a chiral Lewis acid that may have overlapping functions but play their independent roles to promote enantioselective C–C bond formations. Chapter 1 provides a summary of recent advances made in the field of enantioselective cooperative catalysis that served as intellectual foundations for this dissertation research. As it will be discussed in the first chapter, key limitations of cooperative catalysis are: (1) undesirable catalyst deactivation which occurs due to acid/base complexation, (2) requirement for base sensitive pronucleophiles and acid sensitive electrophiles, and (3) poor reaction efficiency. In an effort to overcome these fundamental limitations, we have developed “frustrated” Lewis pair (FLP)-based catalyst systems that consist of potent and sterically encumbered Lewis acids used in pair with bulky N-containing Lewis bases. To demonstrate the potential of the novel FLP catalyst system, we describe our work involving the enantioselective Conia-ene-type cyclization (Chapter 2). In the subsequent chapter (Chapter 3), we discuss the application of the FLP catalysts for enantioselective β-amino C–H functionalization reactions. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2021. / Submitted to: Boston College.

TheDevelopment of Iron Catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling and the Reactivity Discovered Along the Way:Crockett, Michael January 2020 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Jeffery A. Byers / This dissertation discusses the development of iron-based catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and some of the unique reactivity that was discovered as a direct result of these studies. Chapter one will review the area of iron-catalyzed cross-coupling with an emphasis placed on areas where iron provides complimentary reactivity to other metals. Chapter two will detail the initial discovery of conditions that allow for iron-catalysts to participate in the cross-coupling of aryl boronic esters and alkyl halides. Chapter three will discuss the the development of ligands for iron that allow for more general cross-coupling reactivity to be observed. Finally, chapter four will discuss the unique C-H funtionalization reactivty that has been observed as byproducts in chapters two and three. Digging deeper into this reactivty lead to the discovery of a completely novel three-component coupling reaction mediated by the iron complexes discovered in chapter three. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Development of Catalyst Systems for Regio- and Enantioselective Transformations of Amine and Ether C-H Bonds:Yesilcimen, Ahmet Selman January 2022 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Masayuki Wasa / This dissertation describes the development of novel catalyst systems that could promote the regio- and enantioselective transformations of C-H bonds contained in N-alkylamines and ethers through Lewis acid-mediated hydride abstraction processes. The progress made in C-H functionalization of N-alkylamines and ethers that served as the intellectual foundation of this dissertation research are summarized in Chapter 1. Despite notable advances, the development of broadly applicable, enantioselective, and catalytic protocols to functionalize C-H bonds in N-alkylamines and ethers with high regio- and stereo-selectivity was regarded as an unsolved problem when we started this dissertation research. In an effort to overcome these fundamental limitations, we first identified a B(C6F5)3/Cu-PyBOX cooperative catalyst system for the enantioselective conversion of a-amino C-H bonds through the generation of an iminium by (F5C6)3B-catalyzed hydride abstraction process (Chapter 2). We then envisioned that in situ generated iminium ions could be further deprotonated to furnish an enamine intermediate, which may react with electrophilic species for a-amino C-H functionalization. The design and development of such a catalyst system were discussed in Chapter 3. Finally, we disclose enantioselective Cu–BOX-catalyzed hetero Diels-Alder reactions of enol ethers generated through Ph3C+-mediated oxidation of alkyl ethers.
