The thesis is based on the photoreactivity of arylazo sulfones, molecules having a dyedauxiliary group. These compounds can be activated by visible light and are capable of liberating a sulfonyl radical and a diazenyl radical, which upon loss of nitrogen forms an aryl radical. The goal of the work was to use these radicals to trigger chemical transformations. Arylazo sulfones were initially used as photoacid generators for the protection of alcohols as acetals, in the conversion of ketones and aldehydes to acetals or oxazolidines, and in the synthesis of bis-indoyl methanes. The arylation of enol silyl ethers led to the formation of α-aryl ketones, while the synthesis of α-sulfonyl hydrazones was carried out from styrenes. The use of gold as a catalyst led to the formation of (hetero)biaryls upon visible light irradiation. Complexes of thiocyanate ions with copper(II) halides have been used for the synthesis of aryl thiocyanates.
La tesi ha avuto come tema l'uso degli arilazo solfoni, molecole aventi un gruppo dyedauxiliary. Questi composti possono essere attivati dalla luce visibile e sono in grado di liberare un radicale solfonilico e un diazenil radicale, che dopo la perdita di azoto forma un radicale arilico. L'obiettivo del lavoro è stato quello di utilizzare questi radicali per innescare trasformazioni chimiche. All'inizio gli arilazo solfoni sono stati usati come generatori di fotoacidi per la protezione degli alcoli come acetali, nella conversione di chetoni e aldeidi in acetali o ossazolidine e nella sintesi di bis-indoil-metani. L'arilazione di enol silil eteri ha portato alla formazione di α-aril chetoni, mentre la sintesi di α-solfonil idrazoni è stata effettuata a partire da stireni. L'uso dell'oro come catalizzatore ha portato alla formazione con luce visibile di (etero)biarili. I complessi degli ione tiocianato con alogenuri di rame(II) sono stati impiegati per la sintesi di aril tiocianati.

Abstract
The thesis is based on the photoreactivity of arylazo sulfones, molecules having a dyedauxiliary group. These compounds can be activated by visible light and are capable of liberating a sulfonyl radical and a diazenyl radical, which upon loss of nitrogen forms an aryl radical. The goal of the work was to use these radicals to trigger chemical transformations. Arylazo sulfones were initially used as photoacid generators for the protection of alcohols as acetals, in the conversion of ketones and aldehydes to acetals or oxazolidines, and in the synthesis of bis-indoyl methanes. The arylation of enol silyl ethers led to the formation of α-aryl ketones, while the synthesis of α-sulfonyl hydrazones was carried out from styrenes. The use of gold as a catalyst led to the formation of (hetero)biaryls upon visible light irradiation. Complexes of thiocyanate ions with copper(II) halides have been used for the synthesis of aryl thiocyanates.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
