Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles are important intermediates in the synthesis of medicinal compounds, agricultural chemicals, polymers and analytical reagents. Although, there are several approaches to the synthesis of nitrogen heterocyles, a lot of challenges still remain. Moreover, the recent demand by society to develop more environmentally and economically friendly synthetic methods has given rebirth to the need for new methodologies across organic chemistry. Thus, a lot emphasis has been directed towards the development of new and mild conditions for the formation of nitrogen heterocycles. Since its inception, the Blakey lab has been working on developing new methods for synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. With that aim, we have developed new methodology that involves metallonitrenes intermediates for the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds. Additionally, our lab has also developed an iminium based cascade annulation reaction for the synthesis of the structural cores of some unusual strychnos alkaloids. Three main projects that have branched out of this initial work will be discussed in this thesis: the development of a copper catalyzed aminoacetoxylation reaction of olefins (part 1); development of a diastereoselective intermolecular cascade annulation reaction (part 2) and application of the intramolecular cascade cyclization reaction towards the total synthesis of a Malagasy alkaloid (part 3).
