The work presented in this thesis involves new transformations of azacycles, focusing on the introduction of functionality α-to N. α-C-H functionalisation on an azetidine has been a long-standing challenge, with N-protecting/activating groups that work well in the higher and lower azacyclic systems not viable. A recent breakthrough in the Hodgson group showed the rarely used N-thiopivaloyl group was effective for α-deprotonationâ electrophile trapping on azetidines, but was not without limitations concerning harsh removal conditions and scope for further substitutions. This thesis describes efforts to overcome these issues by development of a new protecting/activating group for N, t-butoxythiocarbonyl (Botc).
