Chemistry Thia-Aza ligands Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis Mixed-Donor 3-pyrroline Given the continued interest in the use of enantioselective metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions in organic synthesis, there have been considerable research efforts in the development of new chiral ligands consisting of mixed-donor heteroatoms. This dissertation involves the microwave-assisted synthesis of amino acid-derived pyrrolidine thioethers, as well as a thiolane-based analogue consisting of meso frameworks as opposed to the conventional C2 symmetry found in most chiral ligands. Chapter I of this work gives a brief literature review in the synthesis and applications of pyrrolidine-based ligand systems. Also discussed is a review of 3-pyrroline derivatives, which are an important class of heterocycles used as precursors in the synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines, as well as several synthetic approaches towards their preparation. Chapter II of this work describes the microwave-assisted synthesis of a series of chiral amino acid-derived pyrrolidine diols, from the appropriate L-amino acid methyl ester hydrochlorides (Leu, Val, Phe) or benzyl esters (Gly, Ala, Ser) and cis-1,4-dichloro-2-butene. The enantiopurity of the chiral 3-pyrroline intermediates have been established through Mosher ester synthesis and by comparison of optical rotation of the amino acid esters. Also, the attempted conversion of the diols into thioethers is discussed. The multi-step synthesis of thiolane analogues, as well as approaches towards novel heterobicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes is discussed. Finally, a modified approach towards the tripodal ligand system [9]aneN2S and a microwave-assisted cyclization of [9]aneN3 are discussed. 2011-08-03 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1310944928 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1310944928 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
