New preparations of diazo compounds and studies of their metal catalysed diverted insertion reactionsTools Nicolle, Simon (2016) New preparations of diazo compounds and studies of their metal catalysed diverted insertion reactions. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractThis Thesis reports some advances in the preparation and metal catalysed reactions of diazo compounds. After an introduction presenting the synthesis routes and the main transformations of this class of compound (Chapter I), the focus is placed on the dehydrogenation of unsubstituted hydrazones as a route to diazo compounds. A review of the reagents previously used for this transformation is followed by the description of the development of the use of potassium N-iodo p-toluenesulfonamide (iodamine-T) as a new reagent for this reaction and its application to a number of hydrazones (Chapter II). After presenting the advantages offered by the handling of diazo compounds in a flow environment, the preparation of a N-iodosulfonamide functionalised resin and its application to the generation of diazocarbonyl compounds in flow are described (Chapter III). A number of examples for the further reaction of diazo compounds generated by this protocol in various in-line reactions (O-H and N-H insertion, cyclopropanation and C H insertion) are described. In particular, the synthesis of spiro-β-lactones by C-H insertion and their further conversion to oxetanes are presented.
