Chapter 1. The first examples of highly Z- and enantioselective ring-opening/cross-metathesis reactions are disclosed. Transformations involve meso cyclic olefin substrate and styrenes or enol ethers as olefin cross partners. A stereogenic-at-Mo monoaryloxide monopyrrolide (MAP) complex, prepared and used in situ, is discovered for the efficient formation of Z olefins. Such complex, bearing a relatively smaller adamantylimido and a larger chiral aryloxide ligand, leads to kinetic Z-selectivity due to the size differential. In most cases, the resulting disubstituted Z olefins are formed with excellent stereoselectivity (>95% Z). Chapter 2. The protocols for efficient Z-selective formation of macrocyclic disubstituted alkenes through catalytic ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is described. Stereoselective cyclizations are performed with either Mo- or W-based monoaryloxide monopyrrolide (MAP) complex at 22 oC. Synthetic utility of such broadly applicable transformation is demonstrated by synthesis of several macrocyclic natural products: relatively simpler molecules such as epilachnene (91% Z) and ambrettolide (91% Z), as well as advanced precursors to epothilones C and A (97% Z) and nakadomarin A (94% Z). Several principles of catalytic stereoselective olefin metathesis reactions are summarized based on the studies: 1) Mo-based catalysts are capable of delivering high activity but can be more prone to post-RCM isomerization. 2) W-based catalysts, though furnish lower activity, are less likely to cause the loss of kinetic Z selectivity by isomerization. 3) Reaction time is critical for retaining the stereoselectivity gained from kinetic, which not only applicable with MAP complexes but potentially with other complexes as well. 4) By using W-based catalyst, polycyclic alkenes can be accessed with sequential RCM reactions, without significant erosion of the existing Z olefins in the molecule. Chapter 3. An enantioselective total synthesis of anti-proliferative agent (+)-neopeltolide is presented. The total synthesis is accomplished in 11 steps for the longest linear sequence and 28 steps in total, including 8 catalytic reactions. Particularly, several Mo- or Ru-catalyzed stereoselective olefin metathesis reactions as well as N-hetereocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed enantioselective boron conjugate addition to an acyclic enoate have proven to be effective for convergent construction of the molecule. The most important novelty of the study incorporates the explorations of feasibility of Z-selective cross-metathesis reactions to solve the challenge of installing two Z olefins with excellent selectivity

The attempted syntheses of molybdenum imido alkylidene complexes of the type Mo(NArc,)(CH-t-Bu)[Biphen] and Mo(N-2-CF3C6H4)(CHCMe2Ph)[Biphen] (Biphen2 = 3,3'-di-t-butyl-5,5',6,6'-tetramethyl- 1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diolate) from Mo(NArcl)(CH-t-Bu)(OTf)2(dme) and [Biphen]K2 have sporadically afforded mixtures containing the desired products along with the corresponding amido alkylidyne complexes, Mo(NHArcl)(C-t-Bu)[Biphen] and Mo(NH-2-CF3C6H4)(CCMe2Ph)[Biphen], respectively. The reaction of [Biphen]K2 with Mo(NArc,)(CH-t-Bu)(OTf)2(dme) and 10 equivalents of triethylamine reproducibly gave Mo(NHArc,)(C-t-Bu)[Biphen] in 40% yield. An X-ray crystal structure of a related complex, Mo(NHArc,)(CCMe2Ph)[S-Biphen] confirmed the proposed structure and also revealed that one ortho chloride approaches within 2.93 A of the metal approximately trans to the alkylidyne ligand. Attempts to prepare three other amido alkylidyne complexes in an analogous manner from Mo(NR")(CH-t-Bu)(OTf)2(dme) (NR" = N-2-CF3C6H4, N-2,6-i-Pr2C6H5, N-2,6-Me2C6H5) with [Biphen]K2 in the presence of 10-20 equivalents of triethylamine failed.
(cont.) Chapter 2 The reaction between Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)2 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) and various alcohols (1-AdamantylOH, t-BuOH, ArOH, (CF3)2CHOH, (CF3)2MeCOH, (CF3)3COH, C6F5OH) in pentane or toluene yielded either complexes of the type Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OR) through direct addition of ROH across a Mo-C bond, or complexes of the type Mo(NAr)(CH2-t-Bu)3(OR) through direct addition of ROH across a Mo=C bond. The trineopentyl species appear to be formed when the alcohol has a relatively low pKa. The outcome also can depend upon whether the alcohol is employed neat, or in benzene, and mixtures are observed in some circumstances. The conversion of Mo(NAr)(CH2-t-Bu)3(OR) into Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OR) was shown to be unimolecular in several examples. Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OR) complexes have been found to be surprisingly active catalysts for various metathesis reactions. In contrast, M(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)2 species are virtually inactive for metathesis. X-ray structures are reported for Mo(NAr)(CH2-t-Bu)3(OC6F5), Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)IOSi(O-t-Bu)3], [Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F)12, and Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F5)(PMe3).
(cont.) Chapter 3. Complexes of the type Mo(NR")(CHR')(N(R)3,5-C6H3Me2)2 (NR" = N-2,6-i-Pr2C6H, N-2,6-Me2C6Hs; R' = t-Bu, CMe2Ph; R' = i-Pr, t-Bu) and Mo(NR")(CHR')(NR2)2 (NR" = N-2,6-i-Pr2C6H,, N-2,6-Me2C6H5; R' = t-Bu, CMe2Ph; R = Me, Ph) can be isolated as orange-red solids in 30-35% yields or oils by reacting Mo(NR")(CHR')(OTf)2(dme) with LiN(R')(3,5-C6H3Me2)(ether) or with LiNR2. The synthesis of Mo(NR")(CHCMe2Ph)(NPh2)2 can be improved to 70-90% isolated yields when Mo(NR")(CHCMe2Ph)[OCMe(CF3)212 is used with LiNPh2(ether). Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(NPh2)2 has been crystallographically characterized. Mo(NR")(CHR')(N(R)3,5-C6H3Me2)2 species reacted with t-BuOH and Me(CF3)2COH in benzene to give Mo(NR")(CHR')(OR)2 (OR = O-t-Bu, OCMe(CF3)2) in situ. However, no reactions of Mo(NR")(CHR')(N(R')3,5-C6H3Me2)2 were observed with enantiomerically pure diols such as [R-TRIP]H2 (3,3'-2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2-binaphthol), [R-Ph]H2 (3,3'-C6H5-binaphthol), [rac-Mesitylbinap]H2 (3,3'-2,4,6-Me3C6H2-binaphthol) and [R-TMSbinapJH2 (3,3'-SiMe3-binaphthol).
(cont.) Bisamido complexes of the type Mo(NR")(CHR')(NPh2)2 were found to react with the aforementioned alcohols and diols to give Mo(NR")(CHR')(diolate) species in situ, which were further reacted in a catalytic fashion with two substrates to give the corresponding ring-closed products. Preliminary :results of the in situ catalysis demonstrated here compare fairly well with the analogous catalytic reactions reported with isolated catalysts. Appendix A. Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F5) (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) can be reacted with 5-10 equivalents of trans-3-hexene to give a crystallographically characterized dimeric complex, [Mo(NAr)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F5)]2 that contains an unbridged Mo=Mo bond (2.410(8) A) in high yields. The above complex can also be prepared by treating Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F5) with 0.5 equivalents of divinylbenzene. IMo(NAr)(CH2-t-Bu)(OC6F5)]2 will slowly catalyze the metathesis reactions of simple substrates, although less than 5% of the catalyst seems to be activated in such reactions.
(cont.) It was observed that catalytically active species for metathesis reactions can be generated by another Mo (d2) species, Mo(NArcl)(Biphen)(H2C=CH2)(ether) (NArc, = N-2,6-C12C6H3, Biphen2 = 3,3'-di-t-butyl-5,5',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diolate) that could effect the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene. A mixture of Mo(NArcl)(Biphen)(H2C=CH2)(ether) and 20 equivalents of diallylether in benzene-d6 when treated with 10 equivalents of norbornene gives 54% conversion to dihydrofuran in 10 days.

Abstract:
This thesis describes new catalytic reactions, new activation methods and new ligand derivatives based on chromium lV,N-bis(diarylphosphino)amine (PNP) olefin trimerisation catalysts. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to this area. The main differences between non-selective olefin olig.omerisation and selective trimerisation are discussed, as well as the commercial uses of LAOs. The mechanism of trimerisation and a survey of successful catalyst systems is given, with particular emphasis on PNP ligands. More recent advances such as selective tetramerisation are discussed. Chapter 2 describes the use of chromium PNP catalysts for the cotrimerisation of ethene and other alkene monomers, particularly styrene. The effect of temperature, reaction time, comonomer concentration and ligand structure are investigated and a mechanism scheme is proposed. The cotrimerisation .of ethene and styrene was found to form phenylhexene, with the ligand 1 system giving predominantly I-phenylhexene isomers 50 and 51, with a TOF of 2468 h-I. Other PNP ligands tested gave 3-phenylhexene isomers 55 and 56. The trimerisation of isoprene using the same chromium PNP systems is explored in Chapter 3. Using the ligand 1 system, the trimerisation of isoprene produced isomers of 2,6,11-trimethyldodecatetraene, 1,5,1 O-trimethyl-l ,5,9cyclododecatriene and higher isoprene oligomers, with a productivity of 826 g (g Cr hrl . Other PNP ligands tested produced the same products as ligand 1 with differing productivities. Some of the results from these two chapters have been published.93.130 Chapter 4 describes the use of chromium(I) PNP carbonyl complexes for the oligomerisation of ethene. The syntheses and structures of [Cr(CO)4(1)], [Cr(CO)4(19)], [Cr(CO)4(5)] and [Cr(CO)4(NO)(1)] are reported. These compounds were then tested for ethene trimerisation by activation with an oxidising agent with a weakly coordinating anion, [N(p-BrC6fu)3][B(C6Fs)4] and a CO scavenger, AlEt3. The results from this chapter have been published.16o A series of novel PNP and dppe based ligands with ortho oxygen donors on the phenyl rings were also synthesised and tested for ethene trimerisation, as described in Chapter 5. Finally Chapter 6 gives experimental details for the preceding chapters.

Abstract:
Rhodium complexes bearing multidentate nitrogen donor ligands were investigated for their ability to promote alkyne and olefin functionalization reactions. This thesis work is comprised of two projects in which rhodium-heteroatom reactivity is investigated: P-H bond activation reactions and olefin functionalizations via rhodaoxetane intermediates. [Tp*Rh(PPh3)2] [Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate] and [Tp*Rh(cod)]2 (cod = cyclooctadiene) were evaluated for their activity in alkyne hydrophosphinylation in comparison to known catalysts for this reaction. [Tp*Rh(PPh3)2]and [Tp*Rh(cod)]2 were both shown to effect hydrophosphinylation of 1-octyne with diphenylphosphine oxide with high regioselectivity but moderate yields in comparison with Wilkinson's catalyst [C1Rh(PPh3)3]. [Tp*Rh(PPh3)2] was further shown to effect hydrophosphinylation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic alkynes with diphenylphosphine oxide, in each case exclusively providing the E-linear vinylphosphineoxide product. 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy provided evidence that alkyne hydrophosphinylation in the presence of pyrazolylborate rhodium complexes follows an analogous mechanism to that proposed for this reaction catalyzed by [C1Rh(PPh3)3] or[C1Rh(cod)]2. The 2-rhodaoxetane [(TPA)Rhmec2_,-4u, 0-2-oxyethypr BPh4- (TPA = tris[(2-pyridal)methyl]amine) was investigated for its potential as an intermediate in proposed functionalization reactions of olefins. RTPA)Rh111(K2-C,0-2-oxyethyl)]+ BPh4- was prepared by two published methods with limited success. A third method involved the use of nitrous oxide to oxygenate [(12-ethene)(K4-TPA)Rh1]+ to RTPA)Rh1110(-2-C,0-2-oxyethyDr. Only a trace amount of [(TPA)Rhmoc2 -C,0-2-oxyethypr was observed in the 1I-1 NMR spectrum of this reaction mixture. Initial test reactions of [(TPA)Rhilioc2_C,0-2-oxyethypr combined with substrates (aniline, toluenesulfonamide, phenylboronic acid, or benzaldehyde) were inconclusive since the results were obscured by the impurity of the samples.

Chapter 1. Alkylimido Molybdenum Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization and Activity as Chiral Olefin Metathesis Catalysts. Molybdenum olefin metathesis catalysts that contain previously unexplored aliphatic 1- phenylcyclohexylimido (PhCyN) and 2-phenyl-2-adamantylimido (PhAdN) groups were prepared and shown to be efficient and selective in a variety of olefin metathesis reactions. Five catalysts, Mo(NR)(CHCMe2Ph)[(S)-Biphen], Mo(NR)(CHCMe2Ph)[(R)-Trip](THF) (R = 1- adamantyl, PhCy, PhAd; Biphen = 3,3'-di-tert-butyl-5,5',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'- diolate; Trip = 3,3'-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)- 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diolate) and Mo(NAd)(CHCMe2Ph)[(R)-Trip](THF) (Ad = I-adamantyl), were synthesized. Their catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in desymmetrization reactions such as ring-closing metathesis of amines and lactams and ring-opening/cross metathesis of a substituted norborneol with styrene were compared to the results obtained with the only known alkylimido catalyst, Mo(NAd)(CHCMe2Ph)[(S)-Biphen]. The new catalysts prove to be similar to Mo(NAd)(CHCMe2Ph)[(S)-Biphen] in the majority of the studied reactions, and the examined catalysts show overall improvement in activity and enantioselectivity compared to the traditional arylimido catalysts. Chapter 2. Synthesis of Molybdenum Imido Alkyl and Alkylidene Complexes from Molybdenum Imido Tetrachlorides. Several new Mo(NR)C14(THF) species (R = C6F5, 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3, Ad, CPh3, and 2,6-i- Pr2C6H3) were prepared via the treatment of MoC14(THF)2 with azides, and then alkylated with neopentyl reagents. Addition of Mo(NR)C14(THF) complexes in toluene to a cold solution of NpMgCl in ether gave Mo(NR)Np3Cl species (R = CFs5, 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3, Ad, Ph3C, and 2,6-i- Pr2C6H3 (Ar); Np = CH2-t-Bu) in poor (35 %) to modest (51 %) yields.

Heating Mo(NAr)Np3C1 in C6D6 to 50 OC results in a-hydrogen abstraction to give neopentane and a molecule whose NMR spectra are consistent with it being Mo(NAr)(CH-t-Bu)NpCl; it decomposed bimolecularly upon attempted isolation. The other Mo(NR)Np3Cl species were found to be more stable than Mo(NAr)Np3C1, but when they did decompose at elevated temperatures, no neopentylidene complex could be observed. Addition of neopentyllithium to Mo(NR)Np3CI species (R = Ar, CPh3, or Ad) yielded Mo(NR)(CH-t-Bu)Np2 species, the adamantylimido version of which is unstable toward bimolecular decomposition. Addition of I equivalent of 2,6-diisopropylphenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, or 3,5-(2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2)2C6H30H (HIPTOH) to Mo(NCPh3)(CH-t-Bu)Np2 led to formation of Mo(NCPh3)(CH-t-Bu)Np(OR) species, while treatment of Mo(NCPh3)(CH-t- Bu)Np2 with C6FsOH gave Mo(NCPh3)Np3(OC6Fs). The three monophenoxide neopentylidene complexes showed metathesis activity for ring-closing a small selection of amines and an ether. X-ray studies were completed for Mo[N-3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]C14(THF), Mo[N-3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]Np3CI, Mo(NCPh3)Np3CI, and Mo(NCPh3)(CH-t-Bu)Np(OHIPT).

Chapter 1: Efficient Z-Selective Cross-Metathesis of Secondary Allylic Ethers Efficient Z-selective cross-metathesis of secondary allylic ethers were catalyzed by monoaryloxide monopyrrolide molybdenum complexes. Reactions involving both silyl and benzyl protected ethers were demonstrated, as well as ethers containing alkyl, aryl and alkynyl substituents. Mechanistic studies were performed, and the reactions were applied to the total synthesis of several ene-diyne natural products. Chapter 2. Stereoselective Total Synthesis of Disorazole C1 The stereoselective total synthesis of disorazole C1 is reported. The synthesis was completed in 12 longest linear steps. Our synthesis demonstrates the utility of Z-selective cross-metathesis to form both alkenyl borons and alkenyl halides. Another key transformation was a one-pot Suzuki-dimerization reaction to form a symmetric 30 membered ring in relatively high yield. Chapter 3. Stereoselective Cross-Metathesis to Form Trisubstituted Alkenes Initial studies into the stereoselective formation of trisubstituted olefins through molybdenum catalyzed cross-metathesis have been performed. Our mechanistic understanding of the reaction lead us to focus on the synthesis of alkenyl halides, which can be obtained in up 90% yield and 75:25 E:Z selectivity. Chapter 4: Ring-Closing Metathesis in the Synthesis of Natural Products Development of highly efficient and selective ring-closing metathesis reactions have enabled collaborators to successfully implement routes in total synthesis endeavors. A diastereoselective seven-membered ring-closing metathesis enabled the successful synthesis of (±)-tetrapetalone A methyl-aglycon. An enantioselective ring-closing metathesis to form a six membered ring has provided access to enantioenriched aspidosperma alkaloids

Abstract:
A set of reliable, one-pot reactions have enabled the preparation of a wide variety of novel bidentate (and potentially monodentate) ligands bearing a combination of P, N and C atoms across the backbone. The coordination capabilities of these phosphines have been explored with a variety of transition metal centres including PtII, PdII, RuII, IrIII, AuI and Cr0 confirming the versatility of this group of compounds when acting as bi- and monodentate ligands as well as the ability to bridge two metal centres. Reaction of a substituted hydroxymethylphosphine (R'2PCH2OH) with a primary amine in methanol gave the diphosphine ligands R'2PCH2N(R)CH2PR'2 including a PCNCP backbone. The steric and electronic properties of these ligands were tuned by the simple interchanging of the R/R' substituents attached to the P and N atoms. These compounds have been fully characterised by spectroscopic and analytical methods and reacted with transition metal precursors of the type MCl2(COD) (M = Pd/Pt) to yield complexes incorporating six-membered chelate rings. In addition to the aforementioned symmetric PCNCP ligands, the new non-symmetric ditertiary compounds Ph2PCH2N(R)CH2PAd were prepared using a three-step sequence of condensation reactions. Novel ligands incorporating a PCNP backbone were synthesised via a single condensation reaction between Ph2PCH2OH and a primary amine to give the secondary aminophosphines Ph2PCH2N(H)R. Deprotonation of the secondary amine followed by addition of neat R'2PCl resulted in the formation of the ligands Ph2PCH2N(R)PR'2. This group of compounds was characterised utilising similar techniques to their PCNCP analogues with their coordinative capabilities also assessed. The catalytic properties of a select group of the diphosphines prepared, when coordinated to a CrIII precursor, were analysed at Sasol Technology (Pty) Ltd under their standard conditions for ethylene oligomerisation reactions. Initial results established that ligands were effective as catalysts with the exception of those incorporating phospha-adamantane cages. Ligand 3.8 with a PCNP backbone was found to be comparable, in terms of activity, to Sasol's current PNP tetramerisation systems.

In an effort to obtain more efficient and greener chemical transformations, a substantial amount of research interest has been directed towards the use of arene C-H bonds as functional groups. Hydroarylation of alkynes through direct functionalisation of C-H bonds has been studied in recent years leading to the development of high-yielding metal-mediated processes. The main aim of the current work is the addition of a third component in the hydroarylation of alkynes trough C-H activation, in order to achieve a second C-C bond formation. Attempts at palladium-catalysed three-component reaction of unactivated indoles with alkynes and aryliodides are described. The three-component reaction was studied in the intermolecular mode with both aryliodides and the more reactive diaryliodonium salts. These latter regents are reactive arylating and oxidising agents and have been used in the direct arylation of indoles under mild conditions through a PdII-PdIV catalytic cycle. In both cases the three-component product was not obtained. The intramolecular version of the reaction using alkyne-tethered indoles and diaryliodonium salts is also described. In this case the tandem process was successful, especially when using ethynylbenzyl indole derivatives, the Z-tetrasubstituted olefins could be selectively obtained under mild conditions. Finally, a low-yielding synthesis of chromenes from propargylaryl ethers and diaryliodonium salts is also discussed.

Abstract:

Ligands play a vital role in transition metal catalysis: they modulate the steric and electronic properties of the metal catalysts, thus enabling the desired reactivity and selectivity. The dominant ligand classes include phosphines, amines, and NHCs, which render the metal centers more electron-rich through σ-donation. On the contrary, although the π-accepting, electron-deficient olefins (EDOs) are known to promote bond-forming reductive elimination, they have not been widely utilized as ligands for catalysis. Development of these EDOs into a modular class of ligands would allow for novel reactivity that cannot be achieved with existing ligand classes.

In an effort to develop cross couplings with non-traditional electrophiles, we discovered that an electron-deficient olefin, dimethylfumarate, is the optimal ligand for nickel-catalyzed Negishi alkylation of styrenyl aziridines. Mechanistic studies revealed a stereoablative mechanism of this reaction and that the sulfonamide group is involved in directing the C–C formation. Furthermore, the critical role of dimethylfumarate is most likely be promoting the reductive elimination.

To expand the substrate scope to the less activated alkyl aziridines, we designed an N-protecting group, cinsyl (Cn), which contains an electron-deficient olefin as the directing group. Effective arylations and alkylations of Cn-aziridines can be achieved utilizing the nickel catalyst and organozinc reagents. The stereoablative mechanism going through radical intermediates was again observed.

The modular framework of dimethylfumarate allows us to modify the ligand structure and achieve more challenging transformation. We found that an indenylsultam-derived ligand, Fro-DO, enables cross coupling with 1,1-disubstituted styrenyl aziridines to generate all-carbon quaternary centers. Solid-state analysis revealed a unique U-shape structure of this ligand, which may be responsible for the improved reactivity and selectivity. Additionally, utilization of a chiral camphorsultam-derived EDO ligand provided modest but promising enantioselectivity of this reaction.

In this thesis work, we have demonstrated that EDOs can be developed into a novel ligand class for transition metal catalysis. The structural platform allows for rapid ligand modification and reaction evaluation. We expect that future exploration of these EDO ligands will unlock new reactivity and selectivity that has not been possible with current technology.

Abstract:
Die Dissertation beinhaltet Studien zur Reaktivität von Rhodiumkomplexen gegenüber unterschiedlichen ungesättigten fluorierten Olefinen mit einem Fokus auf C–F Aktivierungs- und Borylierungsreaktionen. Der Rhodium(I)hydridokomplex [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (1) wurde als Katalysator in den Reaktionen von HFO-1234yf, HFO-1234ze, HFO-1225zc bzw. HFO-1225ye (Z) mit HBpin verwendet. Dabei wurden Produktgemische bestehend aus Borylierungsprodukten erhalten. Die selektive Mono- und Dihydroborierung von 3,3,3-Trifluorpropin konnte durch Verwendung von Komplex 1 als Katalysator erreicht werden. Trifluorethylen konnte durch die Reaktion mit HBpin und Komplex 1 als Katalysator in ein Produktgemisch überführt werden. Stöchiometrische Reaktion zeigen, dass Komplex 1 sowohl unter C–F-Bindungsaktivierung reagiert als auch die Koordination von Trifluorethylen, unter Bildung des Komplexes trans-[Rh(F)(ƞ2-CF2CFH)(PEt3)2], stattfindet. Im Falle von 1,1,2-Trifluorbuten wurde ebenfalls eine C–F-Bindungsaktivierung durch Komplex 1 beobachtet. Mechanistische Untersuchungen der Reaktion von Komplex 1 und 1,1,2-Trifluorbuten bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen zeigten Hinweise für Koordination & Insertion des Alkens, sowie anschließende β-H-Eliminierung und oxidative C–F-Bindungsadditions- und reduktive HF-Eliminierungsschritte. Außerdem konnte durch Verwendung von Komplex 1 oder [Rh(Bpin)(PEt3)3] (3) als Katalysator eine stöchiometrische und katalytische Hydroborierung von Pentafluorstyren mit HBpin erreicht werden. Die Rhodium(I)komplexe 1 und 3 sind in der Lage das Olefin zu koordinieren und die C–F-Bindung zu aktivieren, während die Verwendung der Verbindung [Rh(Me)(PEt3)3] die C–H-Bindungsaktivierung fördert. Bei 333 K findet die Aktivierung des fluorierten Aromaten in der 4-Stellung statt, während bei Raumtemperatur die Aktivierung in der 2-Stellung bevorzugt ist.
The dissertation reports on studies on the reactivity of rhodium complexes towards different fluorinated olefins with a focus on C–F activation steps and borylation reactions. The rhodium(I) hydrido complex [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (1) was employed as catalyst in the reactions of HFO-1234yf, HFO-1234ze, HFO-1225zc and HFO-1225ye with HBpin. A product mixture consisting of borylation products was obtained. Selective mono and dihydroboration reactions of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne were achieved by employing complex 1 as the catalyst. Similarly, trifluoroethylene was also converted into a mixture of products by the reaction with HBpin with complex 1 as the catalyst. A stoichiometric reaction of complex 1 resulted in the C–F bond activation as well as a coordination of trifluoroethylene to give complex trans-[Rh(F)(ƞ2-CF2CFH)(PEt3)2]. Furthermore, the C–F bond activation was also realized with complex 1 and 1,1,2-trifluorobutene. Mechanistic investigations of the reaction of complex 1 towards 1,1,2-trifluorobutene at variable temperatures indicated the formation of products of coordination, insertion of the olefin and subsequent β-H elimination, C–F oxidative addition as well as HF reductive elimination steps. Furthermore, when utilizing complex 1 or [Rh(Bpin)(PEt3)3] (3) as catalysts, stoichiometric and catalytic hydroboration reactions of pentafluorostyrene occurred with HBpin. The rhodium(I) complexes 1 and 3 were capable of the coordination of the olefin and a C–F bond activation reaction with pentafluorostyrene, while complex [Rh(Me)(PEt3)3] promoted the C–H bond activation. At 333 K, the activation of the fluorinated aromatic ring occurred at the 4-position, while at room temperature, an activation at the 2-position was preferred.

Includes bibliographical references.
CHAPTER1 A general introduction to olefin metathesis is given. Highlights include a detailed discussion of group VI imido alkylidene catalysts. CHAPTER 2 Several bispyrrolide species Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(pyr)2 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, pyr = 2,3,4,5- tetramethylpyrrolide, 2,5-diisopropylpyrrolide, or 2,5-diphenylpyrrolide) have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray structural studies of these species display one r 1-pyrrolide ring and one 5-p1y rrolide ring. Monohexafluoro-t-butoxide pyrrolide (MAP) species can be prepared, either through addition of one equiv of Me(CF 3)2COH to a bispyrrolide or through reactions between the lithium pyrrolide and the bishexafluoro-t-butoxide. Trimethylphosphine adducts of MAP hexafluoro-t-butoxide species, Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(pyr)[OC(CF 3)2Me](PMe3), have been prepared. An X-ray structural study of one of these phosphine adducts was found to have PMe3 bound approximately trans to the pyrrolide. This adduct serves as a model for the structure of the initial olefin adduct in olefin metathesis. CHAPTER 3 The two diastereomers of Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(2,5-dimethylpyrrolide)(OBitet) ((SMRJ)-1 and (RMR])-1, respectively, where OBitet is an enantiomerically pure (R) phenoxide and Ar = 2,6- diisopropylphenyl), form adducts with PMe3. One of these ((RmR)-1(PMe3)) has been isolated. An X-ray structure reveals that PMe3 has added trans to the pyrrolide; it is a model for where an olefin would attack the metal. Trimethylphosphine will catalyze slow interconversion of (SMRI)- 1 and (RMRJ)-1 via formation of weak PMe3 adducts, which undergo a series of Berry pseudorotations or (equivalent) turnstile rearrangements. The interconversion of diastereomers in the presence of trimethylphosphine was investigated by a variety of kinetic studies, variable temperature NMR spectroscopic studies, and labeling studies. CHAPTER 4 Addition of ethylene to Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(OBitet)(2,5-Me2Pyr) led to the trigonal bipyramidal metallacyclobutane complex, Mo(NAr)(C 3H6)(OBitet)(2,5-Me 2Pyr), in which the imido and aryloxide ligands occupy axial positions. NMR studies of Mo(NAr)(C 3H6)(OBitet)(2,5-Me 2Pyr) showed that the metallacyclobutane - species is in equilibrium with ethylene/methylidene intermediates before losing ethylene to yield the respective methylidene complexes. Detailed NMR studies of Mo(NAr)(C3H6)(OBitet)(Me 2Pyr) were carried out and compared with previous studies of W(NAr)(C 3H6)(OBitet)(Me 2Pyr). .It could be shown that Mo(NAr)(C 3H6)(OBitet)(Me 2Pyr) forms an ethylene/methylidene intermediate at 20 0C at a rate that is 4500 times faster than the rate at which W(NAr)(C 3H6)(OBitet)(Me 2Pyr) forms an ethylene/methylidene intermediate. It is proposed that the stability of methylidene complexes coupled with their high reactivity account for the high efficiency of many olefin metathesis processes that employ MonoAryloxidePyrrolide (MAP) catalysts. CHAPTER 5 MonoAryloxide-Pyrrolide (MAP) olefin metathesis catalysts of molybdenum that contain a chiral bitetralin-based aryloxide ligand are efficient for ethenolysis of methyl oleate, cyclooctene, and cyclopentene. Ethenolysis of 5000 equivalents of methyl oleate produced 1- decene (1D) and methyl-9-decenoate (M9D) with a selectivity of >99%, yields up to 95%, and a TON (turnover number) of 4750 in 15 hours. Tungstacyclobutane catalysts gave yields approximately half those of molybdenum catalysts, either at room temperature or at 50 0C, although selectivity was still >99%. Ethenolysis of 30000 equiv of cyclooctene to 1,9-decadiene could be carried out with a TON of 22500 at 20 atm (75% yield), while ethenolysis of 10000 equiv of cyclopentene to 1,6-heptadiene could be carried out with a TON of 5800 at 20 atm (58% yield). Some MonoAryloxide-Pyrrolide (MAP) olefin metathesis catalysts of molybdenum that are Z selective for the homocoupling of terminal olefins can be employed for the selective ethenolysis of Z internal olefins in the presence of E internal olefins in minutes at 22 0C. Therefore it is possible to take an E:Z mixture to a pure E product by selectively destroying the Z component and removing the resulting low molecular weight ethenolysis products. Exclusively E olefins can be obtained from terminal olefins in a two step process: the first step consists of a nonselective homocoupling to give approximately a 4:1 E:Z; while the second step consists of Zselective ethenolysis of the olefinic mixture to generate pure E-olefin. Several functional groups can be tolerated, such as ethers and esters. CHAPTER 6 3,5-Dimethylphenylimido complexes of tungsten can be prepared using procedures analogous to those employed for other tungsten catalysts, as can bispyrrolide species, and MonoAryloxide- Pyrrolide (MAP) species. X-ray structural studies of metallacylcobutane MAP species show them to have the expected TBP geometry with the imido and aryloxide ligands in apical positions. Homocoupling of 1-hexene, 1-octene, and methyl-10-undecenoate are achieved in 45- 89% yield and a Z-selectivity of >99% with W(NAr")(C 3H6)(pyr)(OHIPT) (Ar" = 3,5-Me 2C6H3; HIPT = 2,6-(2,4,6-(i-Pr) 3C6H2)2C6H3) as a catalyst. Homocoupling of terminal olefins in the presence of E olefins elsewhere in the molecule was achieved with excellent selectivity. CHAPTER 7 A monotriflate species, Mo(NAd)(CHCMe 2Ph)(OHIPT)(OTt) (Ad = 1-Adamantyl), is obtained by salt metathesis of bistriflate species and one equivalent of lithium alkoxide. Addition of PMe3 to the monotriflate species led to the formation of a phosphine adduct. An X-ray structural study revealed a square pyramidal coordination environment, with the alkylidene in the apical position and the phophine trans to the triflate ligand. The triflate can be exchanged with a variety of anionic ligands, such as 2-Mespyrrolide and t-butoxide. These species have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and they reveal the expected tetrahedral geometry. CHAPTER 8 Exposure of diethylether solution of Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(Me2Pyr)(OSiPh3) (1) to one atmosphere of ethylene for one hour led to the formation of the ethylene complex Mo(NAr)(CH 2CH 2)(Me 2Pyr)(OSiPh 3) (2). Addition of one equivalent of triphenylsilanol to a solution of 2 gives Mo(NAr)(CH 2CH2)(OSiPh 3)2 (3) readily. Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(OTf)2(dme) reacts slowly with ethylene (60 psi) in toluene at 80 'C to give cis and trans isomers of Mo(NAr)(CH 2CH 2)(OTf)2(dme) (4a) in the ratio of -2(cis):1. Addition of lithium 2,5- dimethylpyrrolide to 4a under 1 atm of ethylene produces Mo(NAr)(CH 2CH 2)(h-Me2Pyr)(h 5- Me2Pyr) (5). Neat styrene reacts with 2 and 3 to generate the styrene complexes, Mo(NAr)(CH 2CHPh)(Me2Pyr)(OSiPh 3) (6) and Mo(NAr)(CH 2CHPh)(OSiPh3)2 (7), respectively. Similarly, the trans-3-hexene complex, Mo(NAr)(trans-3-hexene)(OSiPh 3)2 (8a), can be prepared from 3 and neat trans-3-hexene. When 3 is exposed to 1 atm of ethylene, the molybdacyclopentane species, Mo(NAr)(C 4Hs)(OSiPh3)2 (9), is generated. X-ray structural studies were carried out on 2, 5, 7, 8a, and 9. All evidence suggests that alkene exchange at the Mo(IV) center is facile, followed by cis,trans isomerization and isomerization via double bond migration. In addition, trace amounts of alkylidene complexes are formed that result in slow metathesis reactions of free olefins to give (e.g.) a distribution of all possible linear olefins from an initial olefin and its double bond isomers. APPENDIX A Monopyrrolide monothiolate species of type Mo(NAr)(CHR)(2,5-Me 2NC4H2)(SR') (Ar = 2,6-i- Pr2C6H3; R = CMe3, CMe2Ph; R'= 2,6-Me 2C6H3, C6F5) have been synthesized by protonolysis of Mo(NAr)(CHR)(2,5-Me 2NC4H2)2 with one equivalent of R'SH. Addition of one equiv of 2,6- Me2C6H3SH to Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)[OC(CF3)2Me] 2 led to the formation of Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(2,6-Me2C6H3S)[OCMe(CF 3)2] (3) in good yield. Using the same method, Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 3)(SCMe 3)[OC(CF 3)2Me] (4) was synthesized. A ligand scrambling effect was observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy leading to the formation of bisalkoxide and bisthiolate species. The bisalkoxide species, Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(OBitet) 2, was synthesized by salt metathesis of Mo(NAr)(CHCMe 2Ph)(OTf) 2(dme) and two equivalents of BitetONa. An X-ray structural study of this compound shows an anti configuration of the alkylidene.

Ethylene oligomerization reactions catalysed by cyclometallated palladium(II) N-benzylidenebenzylamine complexes were studied theoretically. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are reported on the interaction of various MAO models with the methylated pre-catalyst. The neutral MAO dissociation process is shown to remain the major interaction that takes place in the Pd/MAO interactions. On the other hand, the formal methyl abstraction process could be also feasible if more energy is provided. Therefore, the relative energies were calculated for intermediates and transition states for both Cossee-type and metallacycle mechanisms.

Abstract:
The work described in this thesis is focused on the development of new bidentate iridium complexes and their applications in the asymmetric reduction of olefins, ketones and imines. Three new types of iridium complexes were synthesized, which included pyridine derived chiral N,P-iridium complexes, achiral NHC complexes and chiral NHC-phosphine complexes. A study of their catalytic applications demonstrated a high efficiency of the N,P-iridium complexes for asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins, with good enantioselectivity. The carbene complexes were found to be very efficient hydrogen transfer mediators capable of abstracting hydrogen from alcohols and subsequently transfer it to other unsaturated bonds. This hydrogen transferring property of the carbene complexes was used in the development of C–C and C–N bond formation reactions via the hydrogen borrowing process. The complexes displayed high catalytic reactivity using 0.5–1.0 mol% of the catalyst and mild reaction conditions. Finally chiral carbene complexes were found to be activated by hydrogen gas. Their corresponding iridium hydride species were able to reduce ketones and imines with high efficiency and enantioselectivity without any additives, base or acid.

Abstract:
Thermal reactions and flash photolysis are used to study the olefin bond-migration promoted by tungsten carbonyls. Substitution of piperidine (pip) by 2- allylphenyldiphenylphosphine (adpp) in the cis-(pip)(η^1- adpp)W(CO)-4 complex was investigated, and no olefin bond-migration was observed. This suggests that a vacant coordinated site adjacent to the coordinated olefin is an essential requirement for olefin bond rearrangement. The rates of olefin attack on the photogenerated coordinatively unsaturated species, cis-[(CB)(η^1-ol- P)W(CO)-4] (CB = chlorobenzene, p-ol = Ph-2P(CH-2)-3CH=CH-2; n = 1-4) were measured. Kinetics data obtained both in pure CB and in CB/cyclohexane mixtures support a dissociative mechanism in which the W-CB bond is broken in the transition state. In contrast to results observed in studies of other related systems, no olefin bond-migration is noted. This observation is attributed to P-W coordination at all stages of the reaction, which precludes formation of a reactive intermediate containing a vacant coordination site adjacent to a P-ol bond.

Chapter 1. Exploring Ligand Effects in Ruthenium Dithiolate Carbene Complexes. Ruthenium dithiolate metathesis catalysts discovered in the Hoveyda group have been a valuable addition to the field of olefin metathesis. While the catalyst shows unique selectivity and reactivity, quantifying and mapping key interactions in the catalyst framework to elucidate and explain causes is difficult. We, therefore, decided to use the neutral chelating or monodentate ligand, controlling initiation, as a structural probe. By altering its properties and observing changes in the catalyst, we sought to deepen our understanding of these complexes. We established a trans influence series with over 20 catalysts and correlated the impact on catalyst initiation. Further, we show that in the case of strongly σ-donating and π-accepting ligands such as phosphites and isonitriles, the complex exhibits fluxional behavior. The catalysts ground state is elevated to such a degree that thiolate Ruthenium bonds become labile and rapidly exchange. While Ruthenium dithiolate catalysts were readily applied to metathesis polymerization, their use in the synthesis of small molecules was initially less forthcoming. Specifically, reactions involving terminal olefins lead to rapid catalyst deactivation and only low conversion. We were able to determine that the potential energy stored in the trans-influence between the thiolate ligand and the NHC can be released in a sulfur shift to reactive Ruthenium methylidene species. Since methylidenes are formed by reaction with terminal olefins, use of an excess of internal olefins can prevent their formation. Chapter 2. Harnessing Catalyst Fluxionality in Olefin Metathesis. Depending on its use, material requirements can vary significantly. Materials that can easily be adapted to a given application, for example by varying tensile strength, melting point or solubility, are desirable. Controlling the polymers tacticity (the adjacent stereocenters in a polymer chain) is a straight forward way to achieve just that. Ru dithiolate catalysts should give highly syndiotactic polymers due to their single stereocenter undergoing inversion during every metathesis step. The fluxional nature of the catalyst allows for control of polymer tacticity from 50% (atactic) to ≥95% syndiotacticity by changing monomer concentration. We determined the factors which are responsible for fluxionality and synthesized complexes that give either high or low levels of tacticity over a broader range of monomer concentration. Chapter 3. Harnessing Catalyst Fluxionality in Olefin Metathesis. The importance of fluorine-containing molecules is hard to understate, keeping in mind the surge of new methodologies for their synthesis and the medical breakthroughs they enable. However, efficient and practical syntheses of stereodefined alkenyl fluorides are rare. In this context, we have developed enantioselective boryl allylic substitution of allylic fluorides, which yield enantioenriched γ-alkenyl fluoride substituted allyl boronate esters. The reaction is catalyzed by Cu-based catalysts that are prepared in-situ and delivered as products with high yield and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic inquiry shows the reaction is not a concerted allylic substitution. An intermediate Cu alkyl complex is formed after the Cu boron addition is made to the double bond, which only slowly undergoes β-fluorine elimination in the presence of a Lewis acid

Abstract:
The experimental results of the current work have three parts. First, the synthesis and characterization of several new copolymers by the free-radical copolymerization between several highly substituted electron-deficient olefins and furan, benzofuran, indene, alphamethylstyrene, and divinyl ether is discussed. Electron-poor olefins used included dimethyl cyanofumarate, carbomethoxymaleic anhydride and tricarbomethoxyethene. The spontaneous reactions of these monomer pairs were also investigated in both bulk and solution. Second, the effect of synthesis temperature on the composition of the previously reported (co)polymers of styrene with tricarbomethoxyethene and dimethyl dicyanofumarate are given. A ceiling temperature for the synthesis of this copolymer was found to be 220°C. Attempted copolymerization of tetracarbomethoxyethene gave evidence of a small but detectable amount of reaction. Finally, detailed procedures for the synthesis of dimethyl cyanofumarate, carbomethoxymaleic anhydride and tricarbomethoxyethene are given, including a new synthesis of carbomethoxymaleic anhydride.

Abstract:
La catalyse homogène à l’or a longtemps été sous-estimée. Cela a changé au début du 21ème lorsque la communauté des chimistes a reconsidéré les nombreuses singularités que ce métal peut apporter. De nos jours, plus d’une centaine de groupe de recherche mondialement reconnus a permis d’élargir les domaines d’applications de ce précieux métal. De nombreuses avancées ont été réalisées, mais à ce jour très peu sont utilisées à grande échelle et la fréquence de turnover est souvent faible. Ces problèmes sont souvent liés à la rapide dégradation des espèces actives d’or cationiques. Ce manuscrit expose les avancées qui ont été proposée jusque là et les alternatives que nous avons offert. Nous avons ainsi décrit une méthode de cationisation lente et réversible de l’espèce d’or cationique en substituant les sels d’argent traditionnellement utilisés au profit d’autres acides de Lewis. La découvert de cette lente métathèse d’anion a permis : de retarder la décomposition de l’espèce active dans le milieu, de diminuer la charge catalytique d’or et de monter en charge les réactions à l’échelle du gramme. Cette méthode a ensuite été appliquée avec succès à des réactions énantiosélectives d’hydroalkylation d’alcènes non activés, mais également à permis de considérer l’indium et le bismuth comme une alternative aux métaux de transition en π-catalyse
Homogeneous gold catalysis has been underestimated for nearly a century. After reconsideration the by chemists’ community, it rapidly became a hot topic in chemistry. To date, more than a 100 worldwide groups have embraced the golden opportunity. Considerable breakthroughs have been made, nevertheless, the classical experimental procedures still suffer from low turnover numbers (TON) and scalability. These issues can be attributed to the decay of cationic gold catalysts and several solutions have been proposed in the literature. In this thesis, we will present our way to circumvent this thorny issue. Specifically, we have used Lewis acids other than silver salts for that purpose and found that some of them could indeed generate an active gold species through slow anion metathesis. The slow anion metathesis could retard the decomposition of the active gold species. Thus, gold could be used in low amounts in scalable reactions by simply avoiding the use of silver. These silver-free two-component mixtures could address the difficult issue of C-C bond forming reaction. Besides, we have developed catalytic enantioselective hydroalkylations of unactivated alkenes. This study led us to consider indium and bismuth catalysis in addition to gold

Abstract:
Reactions of strongly oxidizing pollutants with unsaturated hydrocarbon surfaces are important to many areas of scientific interest. For example, reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons on the surface of tropospheric aerosols could have a great effect on the oxidizing capacity of the troposphere while the reaction products could be involved in the formation of clouds and smog. These reactions are also important in understanding the toxic effect inhalation of these pollutants have on the pulmonary surfactant of the lung, the only amicable air-water interface of the body. The fatty acids of this surfactant are as much as 30% unsaturated, and exposure to oxidizing pollutant is known to alter both the composition and function of the surfactant. Understanding the reaction mechanism will further the knowledge of how this toxicity occurs. While the reactions of strongly oxidizing pollutants, such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide, with alkenes in the gas and solution phases are well known, the interfacial reaction mechanisms of these species is not fully understood. The goal of this study is to determine the reaction mechanism when an unsaturated hydrocarbon monolayer at the gas-surface interface is exposed to gas phase nitrogen dioxide. An olefin-terminated thiol was synthesized and a self-assembled monolayer on Au(111) made and characterized using Reflection-Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS). This unsaturated surface was then exposed to NO2 at a pressure of 1x10-4 mbar in a UHV (Ultrahigh Vacuum) chamber. Time-resolved RAIRS was preformed in situ to monitor the reaction during exposure. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and RAIRS determined the surface reaction product as an aldehyde. While the mechanism can not be precisely determined, two mechanisms involving either the hydrogen abstraction or radical addition of the NO2 to yield an aldehyde are proposed.

(2) We will stabilize the Nano SAPO-34 in the ways such as steaming with water or calcinated in H2 condition. (3) The treatment of mix alkali treatment with proper TPAOH/NaOH could make composites with mesopore and microporous structure in the zeolite ZSM-5 to reduce strong acid quantity and the change the selectivity of the main product. (4) Different 8MR zeolite show different selectivity and lifetime in the same condition in the reaction of methanol to olefins.
