Abstract

Organometallic scaffolds have been studied for alternative strategic and structural approaches to enantiomeric bond construction. These scaffolds may be used to synthesize a variety of natural products such as Bao Gong Teng A. Over the past 20 years the Liebeskind lab has focused on one such scaffold, TpMo(CO)2(η3-oxopyranyl) (Tp=hydridotrispyrazolylborato). In this thesis, an analogous tungsten complex, TpW(CO)2(η3-oxopyranyl), has been explored for the purpose of scientific curiosity. The η3-oxopyranyltungsten scaffold was synthesized in three steps: Achmatowicz oxidative rearrangement of furfuryl alcohol, acetylation of the intermediate , and finally oxidative addition of the substrate to the metal. The reactivity of the resulting η3-oxopyranyltungsten scaffold was studied through Lewis acid mediated [5+2] cycloadditions. It was observed that the synthesis of the TpW(CO)2(η3-oxopyranyl) scaffold was higher yielding than its molybdenum counter-part, TpMo(CO)2(η3-oxopyranyl) scaffold. Additionally, an unusual Friedel-Crafts product was formed after Grignard reagent addition and in a few of the [5+2] cycloaddition examples.
