Sc. Toni Rantanen Aus Turku (Finnland) Berichter: Universitätsprofessor Prof. Dr. C. Bolm Universitätsprofessor Prof. Dr. D. Enders Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 07.05.2007 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Hochschulbibliothek online verfügbar The work presented in this thesis was carried out at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of RWTH Aachen University between February 2004 and January 2007 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carsten Bolm. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Carsten Bolm for the interesting research theme, the constant support and useful discussions, as well as the ideal working atmosphere. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Dieter Enders for his kind assumption of the co-reference. Parts of this work have already been published: 1) I. Schiffers, T. Rantanen, F. Schmidt, W.
