Abstract
The work reported in this thesis consists of studies towards the asymmetric synthesis of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes via an asymmetric active template approach. It describes the synthesis of a novel C1-symmetric bis(oxazoline) macrocycle and the investigation of this C1-symmetric bis(oxazoline) macrocycle, and other C1- and C2- symmetric non-macrocyclic bis(oxazoline)s, as ligands in the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz, oxidative Heck and CuAAC ‘click’ reactions as part of the study towards the synthesis of asymmetric planar chiral rotaxanes. The thesis is divided into four chapters: Chapter one is an introduction to rotaxanes and includes an overview of the synthesis of rotaxanes and chirality in rotaxanes. Chapter two is an account of the synthesis of a novel C1-symmetric bis(oxazoline) macrocycle. Chapter three describes the investigation of bis(oxazoline)s, C1- and C2-symmetric, macrocyclic and non-macrocyclic, as ligands in the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz, oxidative Heck and CuAAC ‘click’ reaction. Chapter four provides a formal report of the experimental procedures.
