Lewis acid mediated cyclisations of methylenecyclopropyl imines

Lewis acid mediated cyclisations of methylenecyclopropyl imines
Lewis acid mediated cyclisations of methylenecyclopropyl imines

Chapter 1 contains background information on synthetic chemistry involving methylenecyclopropanes.  Background information on allylsilane chemistry involving Lewis acids is also described.

Chapter 2 describes synthesis and cyclisation studies of simple methylenecyclopropyl imines with different Lewis acids.  These imines were found to be too unreactive for cyclisation to occur.

Chapter 3 describes the synthesis and cyclisation studies of methylenecyclopropyl imines with silyl substitution on the methylenecyclopropyl ring.  Imines derived from methylenecyclopropane butyl amine were found to have the chain length required for cyclisation reactions.  Various different Lewis acids and reaction conditions were studied for optimisation of the cyclisation reaction.

Chapter 4 discusses the synthesis and cyclisation studies of silylated methylenecyclopropyl imines derived from methylenecyclopropyl butyl amines with substitution on the linking alkyl chain.  Effect of substitution patterns on the cyclisation reaction was studied, and was found to have an effect on the cyclisation reaction.

Abstract

Chapter 1 contains background information on synthetic chemistry involving methylenecyclopropanes.  Background information on allylsilane chemistry involving Lewis acids is also described.

Chapter 2 describes synthesis and cyclisation studies of simple methylenecyclopropyl imines with different Lewis acids.  These imines were found to be too unreactive for cyclisation to occur.

Chapter 3 describes the synthesis and cyclisation studies of methylenecyclopropyl imines with silyl substitution on the methylenecyclopropyl ring.  Imines derived from methylenecyclopropane butyl amine were found to have the chain length required for cyclisation reactions.  Various different Lewis acids and reaction conditions were studied for optimisation of the cyclisation reaction.

Chapter 4 discusses the synthesis and cyclisation studies of silylated methylenecyclopropyl imines derived from methylenecyclopropyl butyl amines with substitution on the linking alkyl chain.  Effect of substitution patterns on the cyclisation reaction was studied, and was found to have an effect on the cyclisation reaction.
