Studies towards the nucleophilic dearomatisation of electron-deficient heteroaromatics and hydrogen borrowing reactions of methanol

Thesis

Introduction – Dearomatisation of Heteroaromatic Compounds

The introduction provides a survey of dearomatisation reaction of heteroaromatics, with a particular focus on pyridines/pyridinium salts and furans. The mechanism, scope, and limitations of various approaches are covered, along with the goals of this project.

Results and Discussion – Dearomatisation of Electron-Deficient Heteroaromatics

This chapter initially explores the asymm...
