Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions Involving Secondary And Tertiary Alkyl Nucleophiles, Amruta Ajit Joshi
Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions Involving Secondary And Tertiary Alkyl Nucleophiles, Amruta Ajit Joshi
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
In the first chapter, introduction of transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions has been given. These transition metal-catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions have been used extensively in organic synthesis. Among them, C(sp2)-C(sp2) bond forming reactions have been widely studied over decades. More recently, some reports have demonstrated the use of C(sp3) nucleophiles and electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions. However, use of secondary and tertiary alkyl nucleophiles has remained a challenge due to competitive β-hydride elimination and slow transmetallation of bulky secondary and tertiary alkyl organometallic nucleophiles.
In the second chapter, the first general nickel-catalyzed Negishi reaction for the cross-coupling of unactivated, acyclic secondary …
