Ανάπτυξη καινοτόμων οργανοκαταλυτικών και φωτοοργανοκαταλυτικών μετασχηματισμών φιλικών προς το περιβάλλον
Translated title:
Νovel environmentally friendly organocatalytic and photoorganocatalytic transformations
Summary:
Organocatalysis constitutes a new and fast moving catalysis’ field, which offers the opportunity of utilizing catalysts of low cost and environmentally friendly conditions for achieving a variety of asymmetric reactions. The first chapter of this thesis presents an introduction to Organocatalysis, while the second chapter refers to a literature survey on the applications of Organocatalysis in the enantioselective formation of α-chloro intermediates and expansion of Linchpin catalysis. The third chapter presents a review refers to organocatalysts for the aldol reactions and the fourth chapter refering to the Michael reaction. Photocatalysis is a new, interesting field which focuses on the use of irradiation as a source of energy. The fifth chapter of this thesis presents an introduction in Photochemistry and its applications in the synthesis of disulfides and creation new of C-N bonds. Finally, the sixth chapter presents a review in the organocatalytic oxidation method, which was developed in the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and refers to a literature report on oxidation methods for the synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans.
