Exploration Of Metal-Carbonyl Complexes For Decarbonylation Reactions, Rebekah C. Krupa
Exploration Of Metal-Carbonyl Complexes For Decarbonylation Reactions, Rebekah C. Krupa
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
In recent years, transition metal-mediated decarbonylation reactions have emerged as an alternative to conventional cross-coupling methods due to the advantages associated with the use of carbonyl-containing functionalities as coupling electrophiles instead of organohalides found in traditional cross-coupling reactions. This, coupled with the ubiquity of carbonyl-containing compounds in pharmaceuticals and non-biodegradable chemicals, has led to the interest in developing efficient systems for transition metal-catalyzed decarbonylation. However, these reactions are commonly limited to stoichiometric amounts of metal reagents due to the strong metal-carbonyl bond formed during transition metal-mediated decarbonylation. With the goal of gaining a better mechanistic understanding of CO dissociation in …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Iron Complexes Relevant To Nitrene And Carbene Group Transfer, Brett M. Hakey
Synthesis And Characterization Of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Iron Complexes Relevant To Nitrene And Carbene Group Transfer, Brett M. Hakey
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The synthesis and electronic structures of the square-planar high-spin FeII complexes (MesPDPPh)Fe(OEt2) and (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) were investigated. Analysis of these compounds using a combination of 1H NMR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopies, in conjunction with computational analysis, has resulted in a rationalization for their unusual electronic structures, which arise from the unique coordination environment enforced by the pyridine dipyrrolide chelate ligand.
The reactivity of (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) with organic azides has been probed and resulted in the isolation of an array of products that are consistent with …
