Abstract [en]

alpha-Brominated ketones and aldehydes, with two adjacent electrophilic carbon atoms, are highly valuable synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis, however, their synthesis from unsymmetrical ketones is very challenging, and current methods suffer from low selectivity. We present a new, reliable, and efficient method for the synthesis of alpha-bromocarbonyl compounds in excellent yields and with excellent selectivities. Starting from allylic alcohols as the carbonyl precursors, the combination of a 1,3-hydrogen shift catalyzed by iridium(III) with an electrophilic bromination gives alpha-bromoketones and aldehydes in good to excellent yields. The selectivity of the process is determined by the structure of the starting allylic alcohol; thus, alpha-bromoketones formally derived from unsymmetrical ketones can be synthesized in a straightforward and selective manner.

Abstract [en]

Today’s society has a large demand for biologically active chemicals that can be used for example as pharmaceuticals and in the agriculture. These are normally constructed by assembling together several smaller chemical molecules. In order to achieve this, we need that these small molecules contain certain reactive sites, or in other words, that they are functionalized with certain atoms. The work in this thesis investigates and develops new methods to create functionalities in molecules, which in turn can be used to construct larger compounds and other materials important for our society.

 The methods herein developed are based on the use of metal catalysts to construct carbon-halogen bonds. Examples of halogens include bromide and iodide. When a molecule contains one (or more) of these bonds, it can be transformed in a simple chemical step into other compounds. The number of possible chemical transformations becomes almost endless. Thus, by accessing these compounds, chemical libraries can be created easily.

Throughout the work, sustainability has been prioritized by using, for the human health, friendly solvents whenever possible, by using versatile, stable and structurally simple but yet effective catalysts, and by minimizing the need to use unnecessary chemical activators.
