Development and applications of rhodium-catalysed reactions to explore the synthesis of heterocycles

This thesis, submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Organic Chemistry, documents new methodologies towards the synthesis of saturated heterocycles. These methods utilise a variety of novel S- and N-chelating alkenyl aldehyde substrates, and exploit a Rh(I)-catalytic system for the coupl...
