Abstract

The focal point of this work has been the development of new and expedient Brønsted acid–catalysed synthetic methods with alcohol pro–electrophiles to rapidly achieve molecular complexity.

Chapter 1 provides insight into notable developments within the field of Brønsted acid–mediated transformations of alcohols as pro–electrophiles.

Chapter 2 describes our efforts towards the realisation of a chiral Brønsted acid– catalysed enantioselective 1,3–allylic alcohol isomerisation of 3–indolinols.

Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of 1,2–dihydroquinolines via a Brønsted acid–catalysed intramolecular allylic amination.

Chapter 4 is an account of the Brønsted acid–catalysed cyclisation of b–amino–1,4– enols to oxazol–2(3H)–ones and 5–alkenyloxazolidin–2–ones.

Chapter 5 provides a summary of the works presented herein.

Chapter 6 details the experimental data and methods used in the work presented in this thesis.
