ADVISOR: James C. Adrian Jr. Ph.D.
It is the intent of the present report to relate the results of our attempt to elucidate and optimize a novel preparation of γ-lactam compounds. To achieve this end, it is proposed that the use of novel Reformatsky-type chemistry may provide a viable means. Generally, it has herein been validated that employment of α-amino ketones in traditional Reformatsky chemistry will form the traditional Reformatsky ester-adduct, and that this adduct is capable of spontaneously …
Synthesis Of Alkyl Aryl Ethers Using A Halogen Exchange Coupled To An Ullmann Etherification, Antonio Campedelli
Synthesis Of Alkyl Aryl Ethers Using A Halogen Exchange Coupled To An Ullmann Etherification, Antonio Campedelli
Honors Theses
The Ullmann ether synthesis is a reaction that couples aryl halides to aliphatic alcohols. It works best with aryl iodides because the aryl bromides are much less reactive, and aryl chlorides are even more so. A Finkelstein type halogen exchange reaction has been shown to effectively substitute iodide for bromide on aryl bromides with high yields. The goal of this project is to develop a one pot halogen exchange, Ullmann coupling reaction to allow for aryl bromides to be coupled successfully to aliphatic alcohols. This is feasible because the reaction conditions of the two reactions are so similar. Several condition …
