Title: Diol-Functionalised Polystyrene Resins: Synthesis and Applications Author: Toby Benjamin Reeve This thesis describes the preparation of diol-functionalised polystyrenedivinylbenzene (PS-DVB) resins and preliminary investigations into their application for the heterogenisation of Lewis acid catalysts in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Chapter 1 introduces the motivation behind and the methods for the use of insoluble polymers for the heterogenisation of well-defined homogenous catalysts. In chapter 2 a variety of routes to spacer-modified hydroxy-functionalised diols suitable for grafting onto PS-DVB resins are discussed. The grafting step was problematic, the ease with which the alcohol substrates were bound to the support being shown to be related to their steric bulk. A range of diol-functionalised resins 136-140 of consistent polymer morphology was obtained. In chapter 3 this methodology is extended to scalemic diols derived either from olefins by asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) (168, 173 and 191) or from tartaric acid (217). Resins 207 and 208, with the same immobilised diol unit as for 168 and 173, respectively, were also prepared by solid-phase AD of polymer-bound olefins, although with lower conversion and poorer enantioselectivity. Chapter 4 investigates the use of titanium species derived from 136-140 as Lewis acids and probes the effect of alkyl spacer length on their activity in the Diels-Alder reaction of methyl acrylate and cyclopentadiene. The incorporation of a nine-carbon methylene spacer (138) led to an improvement in catalyst activity relative to catalysts derived from 136 and 137. A significant drop in reactivity was seen in reactions employing catalysts derived from 139 and 140, when compared to those generated from 136-137 despite the presence of the spacer (in 139 and 140). The application of titanium-based Lewis acids prepared from (168, 173, 191 and 217) in the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of methacrolein and cyclopentadiene and diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde is also reported with enantioselectivities of up to 39 % obtained. 136 n = 1 1 3 7 n = 4 1 3 8 n = 9 1 39 n = 1 1 40 n = 4
