| Abstract
|
:
|
While the field of organic chemistry has grown throughout the decades, its primary concern has always been on the generation, conversion, and study of molecular structures. Within that philosophy, the development of new reactions affords chemists the ability to overcome previous synthetic barriers or develop more elegant and simple synthetic routes to difficult-to-construct molecules. Within that realm, electrochemistry is seeing increased attention due its ability to generate highly reactive intermediates, recycle chemical reagents, and reverse the polarity of known functional groups. One example of such an application is the use of electrochemistry to form radical cations. While radical cations have a relatively small history of use within organic chemistry, they are central to our understanding of the oxidation reactions that allow us to increase the functionality of a molecule, and how we can take maximum advantage of them. Accordingly, this dissertation examines the mechanistic pathways through which radical cation initiated reactions proceed.
