The main purpose of my PhD was the combination of the principles of transition metal catalysis with photoredox catalysis. We focused our attention on the development of novel dual catalytic protocols for the functionalization of carbonyl compounds through the generation of transient nucleophilic organometallic species. Specifically, we focused on the development of new methodologies combining photoredox catalysis with titanium and nickel in low oxidation state. Firstly, a Barbier-type allylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes –catalytic in titanium– in the presence of a blue photon-absorbing dye was developed. Parallelly, we were pleased to observe that the developed methodology could also be extended to the propargylation of aldehydes under analogous conditions. After an extensive re–optimization of all the reaction parameters, we developed an enantioselective and diastereoselective pinacol coupling of aromatic aldehydes promoted by non-toxic, cheap and easy to synthetize titanium complexes. The key feature, that allows the complete (dia)stereocontrol played by titanium, is the employment of a red-absorbing organic dye. The tailored (photo)redox properties of the red-absorbing organic dye [nPr–DMQA+][BF4–] promote the selective reduction of Ti(IV) to Ti(III). Moreover, even if the major contribution in dual photoredox and nickel catalysis is devoted to the realization of cross-coupling-type reactions, we wanted to evaluate different possible scenarios. Our focus was on the possibility of exploiting intermediates arising from the oxidative addition of nickel complexes as transient nucleophilic species. The first topic considered regarded the possibility to perform allylation of aldehydes by dual photoredox and nickel catalysis. In the first instance, a non–stereocontrolled version of the reaction was presented. Finally, after a long series of drastic modification of the reaction conditions, a highly enantioselective variant of the protocol was also reported. All the reported methodologies are supported by careful photophysical analysis and, in some cases, computational modelling.

We present a general protocol for the cross-coupling reaction of Grignard reagents and organic tellurides. Aryl Grignard reagents react stereospecifically with vinyl tellurides in the presence of a catalytic amount of manganese (II) chloride and copper (I) iodide to produce good yields of the corresponding cross-coupling products.

The reactions of group 16 heterocycles with organometallic reagents are described. Thiophenes have been used as models for organic sulfur in coal and their reactivity towards triiron dodecacarbonyl has been investigated. Reaction of unsubstituted thiophene with Fe3(CO)12 results in desulfurisation of the heterocycle, with the organic fragment being recovered in the form of the ferrole, C4H4.Fe2(CO)6. In addition a novel organometallic compound of iron is isolated, the formula of which is shown to be C4H4.Fe3(CO)8. Bezothiophene reacts with Fe3(CO)12 to yield benzothiaferrole, C8H6S.Fe2(CO)6, in which the sulfur is retained in the heterocycle. Dibenzothiophene, a more accurate model for organic sulfur in coal, displays no reactivity towards the iron carbonyl, suggesting that the more condensed systems will desulfurise less readily. Microwave methodology has been successful in accelerating the reactions of thiophenes with Fe3(CO)12. However, reaction of benzothiophene does not proceed to the desulfurisation stage while dibenzothiophene is unreactive even under microwave conditions. Tellurophenes (Te analogues of thiophenes) are shown to mimic the behaviour of thiophenes towards certain organometallic reagents with the advantage that their greater reactivity enables recovery of products in higher yields. Hence, reaction of tellurophene with Fe3(CO)12 again affords the ferrole but with an almost ten-fold increase in yield over thiophene. More significantly, dibenzotellurophene is also detellurated by the iron carbonyl affording the previously inaccessible dibenzoferrole, C12H8.Fe2(CO)6, thereby demonstrating the mechanistic feasibility of dechalcogenation of the more condensed aromatic molecules. The potential of tellurium heterocycles to act as precursors for novel organometallics is also recognised owing to the relatively facile elimination of the heteroatom from these systems. Thus, 2-telluraindane reacts with Fe3(CO)12 to yield a novel organometallic compound of formula C16H16.Fe(CO)3, arising from the unsymmetric dimerisation of two organic fragments.

Organylhalogenide RX reagieren formal gemäß einer oxidativen 1,1-Addition mit Dihypersilylplumbylen) PbHyp2 zu Dihypersilyl-halogenorganylplumbanen PbHyp2RX. Diese Umsetzung gelingt mit nahezu allen untersuchten Organylresten, lediglich beispielsweise der Mesitylrest erweist sich als zu sperrig (R = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, tBu, Hx, cHx, Ad, Ph, C6F5, oTo, mTo, pTo, Naph, Anthr).rnrnFür einige Halogenorganyle wird eine analoge Addition auch an das zinnhomologe Dihypersilylstannylen beschrieben.rnrnDie untersuchten Addukte sind thermisch und gegenüber UV-Strahlung, Sauerstoff und Wasser deutlich weniger empfindlich als vergleichbare andere blei- und zinnorganische Verbindungen.rnrnUmfangreiche NMR-Datensätze beschreiben eine markante Hoch-feldverschiebung der Hypersilylprotonen beim Übergang von PbHyp2 hin zu PbHyp2RX, die für Arylreste stärker ausfällt als für Alkylreste.rnrnEin Großteil der Addukte wurde einkristallin erhalten und wird anhand der röntgendiffraktometrisch ermittelten Strukturparameter detailliert charakterisiert. rnrnEs finden sich gegenüber dem idealen Tetraderwinkel auffällig stark aufgeweitete Si Pb Si-Winkel von 130-143°, während die anderen Winkel mehrheitlich unter dem theoretischen Idealwert bleiben (Si Pb X: 94 103°; Si Pb C: 98-112°; C Pb X: 95-103°). Insbesondere größere, weichere Reste und planare Arylplumbane rücken näher an das Halogen heran.rnDie insgesamt recht hohen Blei-Halogen-Abstände nehmen von den Chloriden hin zu den Iodiden zu. Die Iodoplumbane zeigen dabei generell die kleinsten Pb Si und die größten Pb C Abstände. Alkylplumbane weisen längere Pb C Bindungen auf als ansonsten vergleichbare Arylplumbane.rnrnViele der gefundenen Molekülstrukturen zeigen Anzeichen hoher sterischer Spannung in Form von Substituentenverzerrungen. rnrnDie Bildungsgeschwindigkeit der Addukte ist auch bei tiefen Temperaturen hoch. Sie nimmt von X = Cl über Br hin zu I zu und ist für Alkylreste höher als für Aryle. Die Zerfallsgeschwindigkeiten verhalten sich genau entgegengesetzt. Bei den Thermolysen wird regelmäßig Hypersilylhalogenid eliminiert. Dabei entstehen in Abwesenheit koordinierender Solventien Dihypersilyl-diorganylplumbane PbHyp2R2.rnAndere, unbekannte Zerfallskanäle führen zu unerwarteten Produkten, wie dem Iodonium-verbrückten, cyclischen Tetraplumbetan Pb4I(C6F5)Hyp3.rnrnIn Anwesenheit von Lewis-Basen hingegen können sich hetero-leptische Plumbylene bilden, wie am Beispiel eines Bitolyldiylbisplumbylens gezeigt wird. Dieses zeigt auch, dass prinzipiell eine zweifache Addition von Dihalogenorganylen an zwei Äqui-valente Dihypersilylplumbylen möglich ist. Entsprechende Untersuchungen beschäftigen sich ausführlich mit dafür geeigneten und ungeeigneten Organdiylresten.rnrnUnter günstigen reduktiven Bedingungen lassen sich mittels Metal-lierungsreagenz aus den Dihypersilylhalogenorganylplumbanen unter Halogenidentzug Plumbanide erhalten, die in Form getrennter Ionenpaare isolierbar sind. Diese lassen sich in Ana-logie zu den zuvor beschriebenen Plumbanen ebenfalls als Addukt aus Dihypersilylplumbylen und Lithiumorganylen darstellen.rnrnUnter geeigneten speziellen Bedingungen sind neben metallierten auch formal hydridierte Halogenplumbanide zugänglich.rnrnEntsprechend einer geringen Hybridisierung am zentralen Blei-atom, also eines hohen p-AO-Charakters der bindenden Molekülorbitale und s-AO-Charakters des LEP-Orbitals ergeben sich keine trigonal-planaren, sondern Strukturen mit Substituenten-winkeln sogar nahe bei 90°. Die Bindungslängen zum Blei sind deutlich größere als bei den entsprechenden Halogenplumbanen.rnrnEin besonderes Augenmerk der Arbeit liegt auf der Betrachtung von langlebigen und persistenten heteroleptischen Plumbyl-Radikalen, die durch milde Oxidation mittels PbNsi23) aus den Dihypersilylorganylplumbaniden erhalten werden. Während bislang nur homoleptische Vertreter bekannt waren, die aufgrund des sterischen Anspruchs der Substituenten und aufgrund von Hyperkonjugation von axialsymmetrischer nahezu planarer Geometrie sind, findet sich für die heteroleptischen Plumbyle dieser Arbeit eine stärker pyramidale Geometrie. Ausführlich diskutierte EPR-Experimente liefern Spektren, die gut mit Simulationen für die entsprechenden Radikale übereinstimmen.rnrnDie im Zentrum der Betrachtungen dieser Arbeit stehenden Dihypersilylhalogenorganylplumbane stellen somit einen aussichtsreichen und darüber hinaus persistenten und gut zu handhabenden Ausgangspunkt bei der Darstellung neuartiger und interessanter Spezies dar.

The aim of the research activity focused on the investigation of the correlation between the degree of purity in terms of chemical dopants in organic small molecule semiconductors and their electrical and optoelectronic performances once introduced as active material in devices. The first step of the work was addressed to the study of the electrical performances variation of two commercial organic semiconductors after being processed by means of thermal sublimation process. In particular, the p-type 2,2′′′-Dihexyl-2,2′:5′,2′′:5′′,2′′′-quaterthiophene (DH4T) semiconductor and the n-type 2,2′′′- Perfluoro-Dihexyl-2,2′:5′,2′′:5′′,2′′′-quaterthiophene (DFH4T) semiconductor underwent several sublimation cycles, with consequent improvement of the electrical performances in terms of charge mobility and threshold voltage, highlighting the benefits brought by this treatment to the electric properties of the discussed semiconductors in OFET devices by the removal of residual impurities. The second step consisted in the provision of a metal-free synthesis of DH4T, which was successfully prepared without organometallic reagents or catalysts in collaboration with Dr. Manuela Melucci from ISOF-CNR Institute in Bologna. Indeed the experimental work demonstrated that those compounds are responsible for the electrical degradation by intentionally doping the semiconductor obtained by metal-free method by Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4) and Tributyltin chloride (Bu3SnCl), as well as with an organic impurity, like 5-hexyl-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene (HexT3) at, in different concentrations (1, 5 and 10% w/w). After completing the entire evaluation process loop, from fabricating OFET devices by vacuum sublimation with implemented intentionally-doped batches to the final electrical characterization in inherent-atmosphere conditions, commercial DH4T, metal-free DH4T and the intentionally-doped DH4T were systematically compared. Indeed, the fabrication of OFET based on doped DH4T clearly pointed out that the vacuum sublimation is still an inherent and efficient purification method for crude semiconductors, but also a reliable way to fabricate high performing devices.

The coupling reaction between aryl bromides and boron reagents is efficiently catalyzed by an in situ generated palladium complex obtained from palladium(II) acetate (0.1 mol%) and 1,3-bis(carboxymethyl)imidazole (0.2 mol%). The catalytic system is very active in protic solvents, especially in methanol. Biaryl derivatives have been prepared in good isolated yields (up to >99%), and additionally styrene and stilbene derivatives have also been prepared by means of this protocol.

The antiviral or anticancer activities of C-5 modified pyrimidine nucleoside analogues validate the need for the development of their syntheses. In the first half of this dissertation, I explore the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of allylphenylgermanes with aryl halides in the presence of SbF 5/TBAF to give various biaryls by transferring multiple phenyl groups, which has also been applied to the 5-halo pyrimidine nucleosides for the synthesis of 5-aryl derivatives. To avoid the use of organometallic reagents, I developed Pd-catalyzed direct arylation of 5-halo pyrimidine nucleosides. It was discovered that 5-aryl pyrimidine nucleosides could be synthesized by Pd-catalyzed direct arylation of N3-free 5-halo uracil and uracil nucleosides with simple arenes or heteroaromatics in the presence of TBAF within 1 h. Both N3-protected and N3-free uracil and uracil nucleosides could undergo base-promoted Pd-catalyzed direct arylation, but only with electron rich heteroaromatics. ^ In the second half of this dissertation, 5-acetylenic uracil and uracil nucleosides have been employed to investigate the hydrogermylation, hydrosulfonylation as well as hydroazidation for the synthesis of various functionalized 5-vinyl pyrimidine nucleosides. Hydrogermylation of 5-alkynyl uracil analogues with trialkylgermane or tris(trimethylsilyl)germane hydride gave the corresponding vinyl trialkylgermane, or tris(trimethylsilyl)germane uracil derivatives. During the hydrogermylation with triphenylgermane, besides the vinyl triphenylgermane uracil derivatives, 5-[2-(triphenylgermyl)acetyl]uracil was also isolated and characterized and the origin of the acetyl oxygen was clarified. Tris(trimethylsilyl)germane uracil derivatives were coupled to aryl halides but with decent yield. Iron-mediated regio- and stereoselective hydrosulfonylation of the 5-ethynyl pyrimidine analogues with sulfonyl chloride or sulfonyl hydrazine to give 5-(1-halo-2-tosyl)vinyluracil nucleoside derivatives has been developed. Nucleophilic substitution of the 5-(β-halovinyl)sulfonyl nucleosides with various nucleophiles have been performed to give highly functionalized 5-vinyl pyrimidine nucleosides via the addition-elimination mechanism. The 5-(β-keto)sulfonyluracil derivative has also been synthesized via the aerobic difunctionalization of 5-ethynyluracil analogue with sulfinic acid in the presence of catalytic amount of pyridine. Silver catalyzed hydroazidation of protected 2'-deoxy-5-ethynyluridine with TMSN3 in the presence of catalytic amount of water to give 5-(α-azidovinyl)uracil nucleoside derivatives was developed. Strain promoted Click reaction of the 5-(α-azidovinyl)uracil with cyclooctyne provide the corresponding fully conjugated triazole product.^

Nitrones or azomethine-N-oxides are important precursors for the synthesis of several heterocyclic systems. They belong to the allyl anion type 1,3-dipoles and possess unique structural features which make them extraordinarily useful synthons. They behave as 1,3-dipoles in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and as electrophiles in reactions with organometallic reagents. These are the two basic reactions given by nitrones. Nitrones also act as ‘spin traps’ in which they react with short-lived radicals to furnish stable nitroxide radicals which can be detected and identified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Recently SmI2 catalysed reductive cross-coupling reactions of nitrones have gained significant interest in which the reactions are initiated by single electron transfer (SET) to nitrones. Apart from these reactions, nitrones are also known to participate in reactions which are initiated by the nucleophilic attack of nitrone-oxygen. In our group, we have also explored the nucleophilic character of nitrones through various reactions. The results obtained enabled us to develop a novel two-step one-pot strategy for quinolines and indoles - the heterocycles renowned for their pharmacological applications, from nitrones and electron deficient acetylenes. Using dibenzoylacetylene and phenylbenzoylacetylene as dipolarophiles, we could introduce a desired functional group at a predetermined position of the quinolines or indoles to be synthesised. In this context, the thesis entitled “NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION OF NITRONES TO ELECTRON DEFICIENT ACETYLENES AND RELATED STUDIES” portrays our attempt to expand the scope of our x novel synthetic protocol using ester functionalised acetylenes: dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) and methyl propiolate. The thesis is organised in to five chapters. The first chapter briefly describes the different classes of reactions that nitrone functionality can tolerate. The research problem is defined at the end of this chapter. The second chapter describes the synthesis of different nitrones used for the present study. The optimisation and expansion of scope of the novel strategy towards quinoline synthesis is discussed in the third chapter. The fourth chapter portrays the synthesis of indole-3-carboxylates using the novel strategy. In the fifth chapter, the reaction of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) and N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)nitrones are discussed. Here we also discuss the mechanistic reinvestigation of Baldwin’s proposal in the isoxazoline-oxazoline rearrangement. The major outcome of the work is given at the end of the thesis. The structural formulae, schemes, tables and figures are numbered chapter-wise since each chapter of the thesis is organized as an independent unit. All new compounds (except two compounds reported in fourth chapter) are fully characterised on the basis of spectral and analytical data and single crystal X-ray analysis on representative examples. Relevant references are included at the end of individual chapters.

The stannylene [SnR2] (R = CH(SiMe3)2) reacts in different ways with the three dodecacarbonyls of the iron triad: [Fe3(CO)12] gives [Fe2(CO)8(μ-SnR2)], [Ru3(CO)12] gives the planar pentametallic cluster [Ru3(CO)10(μ-SnR2)2], for which a full structural analysis is reported, while [Os3(CO)12] fails to react. Different products are also obtained from three nitrile derivatives: [Fe3-(CO)11(MeCN)] gives [Fe2(CO)6(μ-SnR2)2], which has a structure significantly different from that of known Fe2Sn2 clusters, [Ru3(CO)10(MeCN)2] gives the pentametallic cluster described above, while [Os3(CO)10(MeCN)2] gives the isostructural osmium analogue, which shows the unusual feature of a CO group bridging two osmium atoms.

In this work, we describe a new method for obtaining [Fe(CO)2[(eta5-C5H5)Cl] employing simple techniques and low-cost reagents. It is worth mentioning that this method is faster than others reported in the literature. It was applied in laboratory classes for undergraduate students, exploring different concepts in organometallic chemistry and discussing the steps involved in the synthetic route.

We described herein the use of imidazolium ionic liquids [bmim]PF(6) and [bmim]BF(4) in the selective, metal and catalyst-free synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides by electrophilic substitution in arylboron reagents with arylselenium halides (Cl and Br) at room temperature. This is a general substitution reaction and it was performed with arylboronic acids or potassium aryltrifluoroborates bearing electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups, affording the corresponding diaryl selenides in good to excellent yields. The ionic liquid [bmim][PF(6)] was easily recovered and utilized for further substitution reactions.

Metal-organic materials constitute a new field in which to search for ferroelectricity and coupling between electricity and magnetism. We observe a magnetic field-induced change in the electric polarization, Delta P(H), that reaches 50 mu C/m(2) in single crystals of NiCl(2)-4SC(NH(2))(2) (DTN). DTN forms a tetragonal structure that breaks inversion symmetry with the electrically polar thiourea molecules [SC(NH(2))] all tilted in the same direction along the c axis. The field H induces canted antiferromagnetism of the Ni S = 1 spins between 2 and 12 T and our measurements show that the electric polarization increases monotonically in this range, saturating above 12 T. By modeling the microscopic origin of this magnetoelectric effect, we find that the leading contribution to Delta P comes from the change in the crystal electric field, with a smaller contribution from magnetic exchange striction. The finite value of Delta P induced by magnetostriction results from the polar nature of the thiourea molecules bonded to the Ni atoms, and it is amplified by the softness of these organic molecules.

A new family of "RuCp" (Cp=eta(5)-C5H5) derivatives with bidentate N,O and N,N'-heteroaromatic ligands revealed outstanding cytotoxic properties against several human cell lines namely, A2780, A2780CisR, HT29, MCF7, MDAMB231, and PD. IC50 values were much lower than those found for cisplatin. Crystal structure of compound 4 was determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed for compound 1 showed electronic flow from the ruthenium center to the coordinated bidentate ligand, in agreement with the electrochemical studies and the existence of a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) band evidenced by spectroscopic data.
