An in situ infrared spectroscopic investigation of the rh-catalyzed [5+1+2+1] cycloaddition reaction of vinylcyclopropanes, terminal alkynes, and carbon monoxide

McCoy, Ryan Nelson (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

In the [5+1+2+1] cycloaddition reaction, hydroxydihydroindanones can be synthesized from vinylcyclopropanes and alkynes under a carbon monoxide atmosphere to produce five new C-C bonds in a single step. Dihydroindanones ...
An investigation of the mechanism of the rhodium-catalyzed [5 + 1 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction of vinylcyclopropanes, terminal alkynes and carbon-monoxide

Mbaezue, Ifenna (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

Spectroscopic investigations on the [RhCl(CO)[subscript 2]][subscript 2] catalysed [5 + 1 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of VCP, CO and 4-ethynylbiphenyl were performed and the existence of an off-cycle species was revealed. This ...
Phenol oxidation using ruthenium and iridium catalysis

Aamara, Huda Ramadan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

We synthesised 4 different tri-substituted phenols: A (2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)phenol, B (4-methoxy-2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)phenol, C (curcuphenol), and D (curcuphenol). While phenols A, B, and C possessed terminal olefins, phenol D ...
