Cross-Coupling Chemistry as a Tool for the Synthesis of Diverse Heterocyclic Systems and Natural Products

Abstract

My thesis consists of six publications. The first publication is a review article with the title 'The Palladium-catalysed Ullmann Cross-coupling Reaction: A Modern Variant on a Time-honored Process'. The second publication has the title 'Palladium-Catalyzed Ullmann Cross-Coupling of beta-Iodoenones and beta-Iodoacrylates with o-Halonitroarenes or o-Iodobenzonitriles and Reductive Cyclization of the Resulting Products To Give Diverse Heterocyclic Systems'. The third publication has the title 'Reductive Cyclization of o-Nitroarylated-alpha,beta-Unsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones with TiCl3/HCl or Fe/HCl Leading to 1,2,3,9-Tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-ones and Related Heterocycles'. The fourth publication has the title 'Synthesis of a Highly Functionalised and Homochiral 2-Iodocyclohexenone Related to the C-Ring of the Polycyclic, Indole Alkaloids Aspidophytine and Haplophytine'. The fifth publication has the title 'Syntheses of Structurally and Stereochemically Varied Forms of C7N Aminocyclitol Derivatives from Enzymatically-derived and Homochiral cis-1,2-Dihydrocatechols' and the last publication is a review article with the title 'Chemical Syntheses of the Cochliomycins and Certain Related Resorcylic Acid Lactones'.
