The thesis can be divided into two chapters: synthesis and application. The first chapter presents the basis of synthesis. Generally, electronic-deficient aromatic molecules require activation before reacting with metal reagents and then can go coupling reaction. Our lab has developed a new bipyridine coupling method without pre-functionalization of pyridines to the corresponding activated halide or metal forms or using of transition metal catalysts. This new method is quite efficient and advantageous for environmental protection. In second chapter, we synthesized 3,3¡¦-dihydroxy-2,2¡¦-bipyridine -based molecules and the functional groups were modified to investigate its liquid crystal properties. According to analyzing data of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscope (POM) and powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), we found that a-3 may possess cubic mesophaes with Im3m symmetry, and a series of d-1~d-3 compounds exhibit mesophase and may be further identified as smectic phase.

Hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagents are easily accessed, highly tunable, mild, selective oxidants that are less toxic and more environmentally benign compared to their heavy metal counterparts. λ3-Iodanes, which possess an iodine center bound to one aryl substituent and two heteroatom ligands, have been the subject of recent interest due to their electrophilicity and hypernucleofugality. A central focus of the Wengryniuk laboratory has been the further development and application of a class of electrostatically activated (bis)cationic nitrogen-ligated HVI (N-HVI) reagents. N-HVIs feature datively bound heterocyclic ligands which results in dramatically enhanced electrophilicity and redox potentials. Despite being a highly tunable platform for reagent development, N-HVIs remain a relatively underexplored class of λ3-iodanes. This dissertation focuses on demonstrating N-HVI’s synthetic potential and developing novel variants to enhance their synthetic utility. Chapter 1 of this dissertation serves as a general background and introduction to nitrogen-ligated HVI reagents. Chapter 2 outlines our efforts in N-HVI library expansion, novel syntheses, and characterization. With a library of 33 novel N-HVIs in hand, ligand effects on N-HVI reactivity were analyzed via qualitative and quantitative methods. Chapter 3 describes our first synthetic application of N-HVIs in the development of novel oxidative rearrangements of simple and complex cyclic alcohols. This chapter describes the chemoselective ring expansion of 2° and 3° cyclic alcohols accessing medium-sized cyclic acetal products in good to excellent yields with applicability to Complexity-to-Diversity (CTD) efforts. Chapter 4 demonstrates our initial efforts toward the development of another synthetic method where the functionalized N-heterocyclic ligands of the N-HVIs can be regioselectivity incorporated into a molecule following N-HVI activation of an olefin. The pyridinium lactone salts formed from olefinic acids were isolated in excellent yields via simple trituration, supplying a synthetically useful functional handle that was easily derivatized via known methods. These four chapters summarize the current state of the research with nitrogen-ligated HVI salts, expand upon our initial publications to highlight the development of novel heterocyclic syntheses, and provide a useful guide to further explore the reactivity of these tunable reagents. / Chemistry

In the first section this thesis includes the reactivity of various oxygen-containing benzofused cyclic alkenes with HTIB (Hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene). Instead of getting ring contraction products, 2H-chromene resulted in 4H-chromenes together with trans-addition products. Only cis-addition products were isolated from 4-methyl-2H-chromene. Ring contraction was observed in dihydrobenzoxepines and 2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromenes giving functionalized chromanes and benzofurans, respectively. In the second part, the ring contraction of 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes using HTIB was expanded to substrates bearing oxygen and nitrogen substituents in the aromatic ring. The N-protecting groups Fmoc and Bz are stable under the reaction conditions giving indanes in 64-77% yield. The Ts-protected substrate gave only addition products. Acetoxy and benzoyloxy alkenes afforded indanes in 60-71% yield. A new and efficient method for the oxidative rearrangement (ring contraction and expansion) of alkenes using in situ generated iodine(III) is described in the third section. The protocol uses inexpensive and stable chemicals (PhI, mCPBA and TsOH) furnishing rearrangement products in yields comparable to those obtained using commercially available iodine(III). Additionally, a new route for the one step transformation of 4-methyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene into 1-methyl-2-tetralone using mCPBA and TsOH was developed. In the last section is presented the reactivity of chiral iodine(III) with 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. The hypervalent iodine species is generated in situ from chiral aryl iodide, which is prepared in one high yield step from inexpensive starting materials. Protected (Ac, Bz and Fmoc) amine alkenes gave indanes in 60-75% and 58-64% ee. In the same way, oxygenated substrates afforded acetal in 41-61% yield and 54-78% ee. Ring contraction products were obtained in 77-88% yield and 34-40% ee when 1-methyl and aryl substituted alkenes were utilized. / A primeira parte desta tese inclui a reatividade de vários alquenos benzofundidos cíclicos contendo oxigênio com HTIB (Hidróxi(tosilóxi)iodobenzeno). Em vez de obter os produtos de contração de anel, 2H-cromeno resultou em 4H-cromenos, juntamente com produtos trans-adição. Apenas produtos de adição de cis foram isolados a partir de 4-metil-2H-cromeno. Contração do anel foi observada em di-hidrobenzoxepinas e 2,2-dimetil-2H-cromenos dando cromanos funcionalizados e benzofuranos, respectivamente. Na segunda parte, a contração de anel de 1,2-di-hidronaftalenos usando HTIB foi expandida para substratos contendo substituintes de oxigênio e de nitrogênio no anel aromático. Os grupos N-protetores Fmoc e Bz são estáveis sob as condições de reação fornecendo indanos em 64-77% de rendimento. O substrato protegido com Ts deu apenas os produtos de adição. Acetóxi e benzoilóxi alquenos geraram indanos em 60-71% de rendimento. Um método novo e eficiente para o rearranjo oxidativo (contração e expansão do anel) de alquenos utilizando iodo(III) gerado in situ é descrito na terceira parte. O protocolo utiliza reagentes baratos e estáveis (PhI, mCPBA e TsOH) fornecendo produtos de rearranjo com rendimentos comparáveis aos obtidos utilizando iodo(III) disponível comercialmente. Além disso, um método para a transformação em uma etapa de 4-metil-1,2-di-hidronaftaleno em 1-metil-2-tetralona utilizando mCPBA e TsOH foi desenvolvido. Na última parte é apresentada a reatividade de iodo(III) quiral com 1,2-di-hidronaftalenos. A espécie de iodo hipervalente é gerada in situ a partir de iodeto de arila quiral, o qual é preparado em uma etapa em rendimento elevado a partir de materiais de partida baratos. Amino alquenos protegidos (Ac, Bz e Fmoc) deram indanos em 60-75% de rendimento e 58-64% ee. Da mesma forma, os substratos oxigenados proporcionram acetais em 41-61% de rendimento e 54-78% de ee. Produtos de contração de anel foram obtidos em 77-88% de rendimento e 34-40% de ee quando alquenos 1-metil e aril substituídos foram utilizados.

Au cours de ce travail de nouvelles méthodes pour la formation de liaison C-N ont été développées. Dans la première partie de cette thèse une application de catalyse métal-ligand bifonctionnelle pour la réaction énantiosélective aza-Michael est démontrée. Dans la deuxième partie nous présentons le travail sur les cyclisations, en utilisant des alcaloïdes du quinquina facilement disponibles, comme catalyseurs des plus prometteurs, fournissant des β-amino-acides d’indoline avec jusqu'à 98% ee. Parmi eux, l’hydroquinidine ressort du lot comme étant le catalyseur donnant le meilleur excès énatiomérique. La troisième partie est liée à l'élaboration d'un nouveau processus intermoléculaires de diamination de styrènes, diènes et triènes, utilisant des bis-sulfonylimides comme source d'azote, en combinaison avec le diacétate de iodosobenzène, qui fournit une approche intéressante et efficace de diamines vicinales biologiquement et chimiquement important. La réaction peut être effectuée à température ambiante sans avoir besoin de protection par atmosphère inerte. / The concept of metal-ligand bifunctionality was successfully applied for an enantioselective aza-Michael reaction by employing well-defined ruthenium amido complexes. The catalyst was optimised and the corresponding chiral indoline β-amino acid derivatives were obtained with high enantioselectivities. Next, a straightforward enantioselective bifunctional organocatalytic approach was also developed. Employing hydroquinidine as catalyst the corresponding cyclic products were obtained in excellent enantioselectivities and quantitative yields. These compounds can be selectively deprotected and applied to peptide synthesis. Finally, we have developed unprecedented diamination reactions of styrenes, butadienes and hexatrienes employing easily accessible hypervalent iodine(III) reagents under robust reaction conditions. The first examples of the metal-free 1,2-diamination of butadienes were demonstrated and this oxidation methodology was further extended to the highly attractive 1,4 installation of two nitrogen atoms within a single step.

Esta tese mostra a síntese total da (±)-indatralina, representando uma aplicação sintética das reações de contração de anel de 1,2-di-hidronaftalenos mediadas por iodo(III). A molécula alvo é uma trans-3-fenil-1-indanamina, que é uma candidata para o tratamento de viciados em cocaína. Na rota proposta para a síntese da (±)-indatralina, o material de partida escolhido foi uma 4-fenil-1-tetralona, que foi transformada em um 1,2-di-hidronaftaleno. A etapa chave foi a contração de anel do 1-(3,4-diclorofenil)-1,2-di-hidronaftaleno, promovida por hidróxi(tosilóxi)iodobenzeno (HTIB), que forneceu o indano trans em rendimento moderado e alta diastereosseletividade. A seqüência sintética foi concluída em 10 etapas. Descrevemos também a reação de contração de anel de uma série de 1,2-dihidronaftalenos mediadas por iodo(III). As reações dos 1,2-di-hidronaftalenos dissubstituídos com iodo(III) foram realizadas em MeOH. Os substratos metoxilados no anel aromático conduziram aos produtos de contração em rendimentos baixos. O 6,8-dimetil-1,2-dihidronafataleno foi o substrato que forneceu o indano em maior proporção. As reações das olefinas trissubstituídas com iodo(III) foram realizadas em CH3CN, fornecendo indanos em rendimentos moderados. A presença da fenila na ligação dupla levou à formação de um outro produto de rearranjo. Os substratos estudados permitiram avaliar a influência do tamanho do anel e do substituinte no rearranjo. A presença de substituinte na posição 4 favoreceu a formação dos indanos / This thesis presents the total synthesis of (±)-indatraline, representing a synthetic application of the ring contraction reaction of 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes mediated by iodine(III). The target molecule is a 3-phenyl-1-indanamine, which is a candidate for the treatment of cocaine abuse. In the proposed route, we chose a 4-phenyl-1-tetralone as a starting material, which was converted into the corresponding 1,2-dihydronaphthalene. The key step was a ring contraction of 1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydronaphthalene, promoted by hydroxyl(tosiloxy)iodobenzene (HTIB), which furnished the trans indan in moderate yield and high diastereoselectivity. The synthetic sequence was concluded in 10 steps. We also described studies toward the oxidation of a series of 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes mediated by iodine(III), aiming the synthesis of indans through a ring contraction reaction. The reactions of disubstituted dihydronaphthalenes was performed in MeOH. The substrates containing a metoxy group at the aromatic ring led to desired indans in poor yields. The 6,8- dimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene was the substrate that gave the ring contraction product in higher yield. The reactions of trisubstituted olefins with iodine(III) was performed in CH3CN, furnishing indans in moderated yields. The presence of the phenyl group at the olefin led to another product of rearrangement. These results allowed to evaluate the influences of the ring size and of the substituents at the rearrangement. The presence of a methyl group at the 4- position contributed for the formation of indan
