Junker, Christopher Sean 2011-09-08T08:35:48Z 2013-09-08T08:30:07Z 2011 https://wakespace.lib.wfu.edu/handle/10339/36145 Two of the major focuses in current synthetic organic chemistry are asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming processes and catalytic one-pot reactions. Two processes that are of interest to our research are the Diels-Alder reaction and transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Issues that arise in these processes include poor efficiency and poor stereoselectivity. My dissertation research has centered around the synthesis and use of 2-silicon-substituted 1,3-dienes to alleviate these problems. These dienes, whether utilized as reagents or intermediates, serve as synthons for less reactive/selective 2-aryl 1,3-dienes. en Wake Forest University Cross-Coupling Cycloaddition Metathesis Multicomponent Silane Stereoselective 2-Silicon-Substituted 1,3-Dienes: Participants in Diels-Alder Chemistry and Metal-Mediated Processes Dissertation Welker, Mark E Jones, Bradley T Jones, Paul B King, Stephen B Miller, Craig H Chemistry 2013-09-08 restricted
