Abstract

This thesis describes the use of silver nitrate and iodine to promote 5-endo-dig cyclisations in the synthesis of furans. The oxidation of furylethanols will be discussed as will methods to synthesise furylacetic acids. The total synthesis of a natural product, Plakorsin B will be described along with the total synthesis of the furan fatty acids F5 and F6 as well as giving an overview of their proposed role in Nature. Finally, a new methodology for methylation of halogenated heterocycles will be discussed.
