Investigating Rings: From Iridium-Catalyzed [4+2] Cycloadditions of Alkynyl Halides to Ring Openings of Cyclopropanated Oxabenzonorbornadiene
This thesis describes two unrelated projects. Iridium-catalyzed intramolecular [4+2] cycloadditions of alkynyl halides were investigated, and the catalyst conditions were optimized for ligand, solvent, and temperature. Several substrates successfully underwent cycloaddition under the optimized condi...
