Copper-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond formations : asymmetric hydroamination and continuous-flow aromatic Finkelstein reaction

The studies presented in this dissertation are regarding the development of new methods for copper-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond formations, including asymmetric hydroamination and continuous-flow aromatic Finkelstein reaction. The first part of this dissertation focuses on the development of copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination reactions to access various classes of enantioenriched amines. This includes the development of a broadly applicable hydroamination protocol for the synthesis of enantioenriched N-arylamines (Chapter 1) and 1,2- diamines (Chapter 2). The second part of this dissertation describes the development of copper-catalyzed aromatic Finkelstein reaction under continuous-flow conditions (Chapter 3). Part I. Chapter 1.
