Copper i catalyzed synthesis of phenols and benzo d isothiazol 3 ones and their application for the synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers and benzo d isothiazol 3 one 1 oxides

Abstract

The thesis is divided into five chapters The first chapter is a general introduction and describes the scope of copper catalyzed C N C O and C S bond formation with examples It also describes the various mechanistic pathways proposed for the reactions The next two chapters describe copper catalyzed hydroxylation of aryl halides and the one pot conversion the resultant phenoxides to aryl alkyl ethers The forth and fifth chapters are devoted to the copper catalyzed synthesis of N substituted b
