Investigation of transition metal-catalyzed oxidative amidation of aldehydes and aldehyde-alkyne-amine coupling reactions

This thesis describes the investigation of various amino acids derivatives as reagents for copper-catalyzed, silver-catalyzed and iron-catalyzed reactions and the investigation of an enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne-amine (A3) coupling reaction. The first part focuses on the large-s...
