| Titanium aryl oxide catalyzed hydroaminations (the addition of amines to alkynes, alkenes, and other analogs such as enynes) have been of interest in our research group and the focus of my undergraduate research work. Over the last few years, my efforts have been to develop and optimize the catalytic hydroamination methodologies that I have utilized to perform the regio-and stereo-selective addition of activated amines to enynes. A number of literature based procedures were used to perform the catalytic reactions and the isolation and characterization of hydroamination products. Recent reports from other groups have established key aspects of the mechanisms of these types of reactions. Our interests have been to further develop the hydroamination reaction to probe its usage on enyne substrates. I am also exploring the incorporation of less commonly used phenoxides as ligands in the titanium catalysis and evaluating the reactivity of these systems to some commonly used systems. |
