Isocyanates have a broad spectrum of uses and they are used in the production of many products including polyurethane polymers, coatings, adhesives, paints and foams. While isocyanates are widely studied and well represented in the literature, nitrogen substituted isocyanates are quite rare. Amino and imino-isocyanates are examples of nitrogen substituted isocyanates. Previous work within the group studied the reactivity of these intermediates in the alkene aminocarbonylation reaction, and used hydrazones and hydrazides as precursors of nitrogen substituted isocyanates. From there, a second reaction pathway was studied. This involved the reactivity of hydrazones with nucleophiles to develop a simple exchange reaction. In this work, the substitution reactivity involving imino-isocyanates will be presented. This will include the scope of nucleophiles and hydrazones as well as a discussion on the formation of the imino-isocyanates. This reactivity allows for the facile formation of a variety of hydrazones with the flexibility to start from common hydrazone precursors.

This thesis describes the investigation of the Diels-Alder reaction of the imine (140) with the diene (141) to give four products (142,143,156, 157). At low temperatures the enone (156) is the major product while at ambient temperature the bicyclic compounds (142) and (143) predominate. The reaction is highly solvent dependent, with the best results being obtained in benzene solution. Lewis acids appear to have little effect on the course of the reaction. The reaction of the imine (140) with the TBDMSO diene (159) gives the silyl enol ethers (160) and (161) as well as the above four products. Possible mechanisms are discussed. COOM. OSIM., In order to investigate asymmetric induction the 8- phenylmenthyl derived imine (194) was reacted with the diene (141) under a variety of conditions but no asymmetric induction was seen in the exo adducts, and only a small degree in the endo adducts. The bromination and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the ketone (142) were investigated and the resultant lactone (209) was converted into the bromide (258). ISOPROSOPININE A (84) ISOPROSOPININE B (S3) Several methods to prepare a suitable side chain for isoprosopinine A were investigated. The prosopis alkaloids isoprosopinine A (84) and B (85) were prepared by alkylation of the sulphones (252) and (266) with the bromide (258) followed by reductive removal of the N-tosyl and sulphone moieties with sodium amalgam. The imine (274) has been prepared and shown to undergo a Lewis acid catalysed imino-Diels-Alder reaction with the diene (141) to give the adducts (283) and (284). hCH,M=CHCOjM» (2T4) Alternative imines for asymmetric synthesis, such as (299) and (288) have been investigated. Preparation of the sulphinamide imine (299) has proved difficult. Attempts to carry out aqueous Diels-Alder reactions of the silyloxydiene (159) with iminium ions, generated in situ from amines, aldehydes and acids, have proved fruitless.

A series of ferrocenylimine [(£b5-C5H5)Fe(£b5-C5H4-C(Me)=N-R)]¡AR= nhexyl(1a)¡Acyclohexyl(1b)¡Aphenyl(1c)¡AN,N-dimethylethylamino(1d) ¡A4-methoxyphenyl(1e)¡A4-nitrophenyl(1f)¡Aand 2-methoxyethyl(1g)¡Ahave been synthesized by reaction of acetylferrocene and the corresponding amines through condensation reaction. Also 1,1¡¦-ferrocenyldiimines [Fe{(£b5-C5H4)-C(Me)=N-R}2]¡AR= nhexyl(2a)¡Acyclohexyl(2b)¡Aphenyl(2c)¡AN,N-dimethylethylamino(2d)¡A4-methoxyphenyl(2e)¡A4-nitrophenyl(2f)¡A3-nitrophenyl(2g)¡A2-methoxyethyl(2h) have been synthesized by reaction of 1,1¡¦-diacetylferoocene and the corresponding amines through condensation reaction. Solid state crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed the geometry of the ferrocene derivatives are various with the different substituents . In addition, these ferrocene derivatives might coordinate with CuBr to form a series of iminoferrcenyl copper(¢¹) complexes. Solid state crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed the iminoferrcenyl copper(¢¹) complexes 3a~3d showed monomeric or dimeric geometry and diiminoferrcenyl copper(¢¹) complexes 4a~4d exhibited polymeric or dimeric geometry. All synthesized ferrocenylimine and1,1¡¦-ferrocenyldiimines derivatives exhibited a reversible one ¡Velectron redox process in their cyclic voltammograms, and the values of their redox potentials relied on the R groups. The correlation between the redox potential and the Hammett substituent constant, £mp was quite well, with a correlation coefficient of 0.96 in CH2Cl2 and CH3CN. According to the cyclic voltammograms, iminoferrocenyl copper complexes showed that the substituents on the imino parts strongly affect the redox potentials of the iron centers in the ferrocenyl segments as well as the copper metal center. The Cu+/Cu2+ couple redox potentials are in the range of 0.269V and 0.719V dependent on solvent effect. The iminoferrocenyl copper complexes¡¦s UV-vis absorption seems to be red shift comparing with iminoferrocene. In the CH2Cl2, compound 3a¡B3b¡B4d shows emission at £fmax ~ 408 nm . In the CH3CN, compound 3a¡B3b¡B3c¡B3d¡B4a¡B4b and 4c show the blue shift emission band comparing with iminoferrocenyl copper complexes in CH2Cl2. In addition, complex 4d in CH2Cl2 and complex complex 3d in CH3CN showed higher quantum yield value. Moreover, compound 1a and 2a combined with CuBr exhibit good catalytic activity and controlling ability in the MMA ATRP process.
