Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Chemistry.
Transition-metals have been an area of high interest in organic chemistry because of the myriad of chemical transformations they can achieve. The Heck reaction is an example of these tranformations and widely used in organic synthesis. But, it is limited because one can only use either aryl or alkenyl halides. The first topic that will be discussed in this thesis is the progress made toward developing an alkyl Heck reaction. The final goal was not achieved but a reductive alkylation on non-activated alkenes was accomplished. The second topic deals with an interesting new palladacycle. Palladacycles have many applications in organic and bio-organic chemistry. A few of their applications are as catalyst, pre-catalyst, chiral auxiliaries and as mesogenic and photoluminescent agents. Palladacycle A was tested to see if it was the catalytically active Pd species in reactions catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and P(t-Bu)3. It was found that palladacycle A was not the active catalyst but has potential as a pre-catalyst. The optimal conditions to afford palladacycle A were also established.
