Transition-Metal Catalyzed Regioselective C-C/C-Heteroatom Bond Formations: Access to Functionalized Arenes and Heterocycles

Abstract

The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter illustrates a Ru(II)-catalyzed siteselective C-H acyloxylation of N-aryl-2-pyrimidines with carboxylic acids as the acyl source. The second chapter describes a Ni(II)-catalyzed oxidative C-H heteroarylation of arenes with azoles utilizing a removable oxazoline-based directing auxiliary. The third chapter deals with the Bi(III)- catalyzed annulation of 2-naphthols with N-sulfonylaziridines. The fourth chapter demonstrates (3+3)-cycloaddition of aziridines with diaziridines for the stereospecific synthesis of triazines under Fe(III)-catalysis.
