Development of New Methodology in Organic Synthesis: Lewis Acid-Mediated Rearrangements of Ammonium Ylides and Addition of 1, 3-bis(silyl) propenes to Aldehydes

• This thesis deals with the development of new methodologies in organicsynthesis. The main focus is on the development of Lewis acid-mediated [1,2]-rearrangements of ammonium ylides and the novel addition of 1,3-bis(silyl)propenes to carbonyl compounds.The first part of this thesis describes the development of a Lewis acidmediated[1,2]-Stevens rearrangement of various glycine derivatives. Thismethodology was then applied to the development of an asymmetric Lewis acid mediated [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement of cyclic ammonium ylides. There markably high degree of C→N→C chirality transfer is described. In addition, this methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of various quaternary proline derivatives in enantiomerically pure form.Secondly, a brief study of the asymmetric [2,3]-rearrangement of α-substitutedglycine derivatives is presented. The investigation revealed a severely limitedreaction scope. The subsequent study on developing super-reactive cationicLewis acid also met with little success.Finally, an addition reaction of various 1,3-bis(silyl)propenes to glyoxalates has been developed. The reaction products correspond to the direct vinylation ofglyoxalates. The corresponding highly functionalized δ-hydroxy allylsilanes were obtained in high yields.
