Synthesis and Applications of Ynimines and Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Artatrovirenol A

Rémi Hugo Lavernhe

The first chapter of this thesis describe the development of a general synthesis of ynimines, an under-exploited motif in organic chemistry. In the presence of an inexpensive copper catalyst and 2,2'-biquinoline, reaction of easily accessible O-acyloximes ...

Azide Radical Initiated Ring Opening of Cyclopropenes Leading to Alkenyl Nitriles and Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

We report herein a radical‐mediated amination of cyclopropenes. The transformation proceeds through a cleavage of the three‐membered ring after the addition of an azide radical on the strained double bond and leads to tetrasubstituted alkenyl nitrile deriv ...

Divergent Asymmetric Synthesis of Polycyclic Compounds via Vinyl Triazenes

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Gregor Kiefer, Abdusalom Suleymanov, David Kossler, Florian Gérald Abela

Vinyl triazenes were obtained by enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reactions of bicyclic alkenes with 1-alkynyl triazenes in the presence of a RuII catalyst with a chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand. These triazenes serve as unique vinyl cation surrogates. ...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Polycyclic Carbocycles via an Alkynylation-Allylation-Cyclization Strategy

Jérôme Waser, Pascal Miéville, Maria Victoria Vita

A new general three-stage strategy to access polycyclic ring systems bearing all-carbon quaternary centers with high enantioselectivity is reported. The required starting materials were readily accessed in racemic form through the alpha-alkynylation of ket ...

Functional Nanostructures Based on Organometallic Half-Sandwich Complexes

Hexanuclear coordination cages of the formula [(C5Me4R)M(C7H3NO 4)]6 (M = Rh, Ir; R = Me, H) were obtained by stepwise reaction of [(C5Me4R)M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with, first AgOAc and then pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. Crystallographic analyses show that the cages ...

How Strained are Carbomeric-Cycloalkanes?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Matthew Wodrich, Jérôme Florian Gonthier

The ring strain energies of carbomeric-cycloalkanes (molecules with one or more acetylene spacer units placed into carbon single bonds) are assessed using a series of isodesmic, homodesmotic, and hyperhomodesmotic chemical equations. Isodesmic bond separat ...

Catalytic Formal Homo-Nazarov Cyclization

Jérôme Waser, Julien Alexandre Andres, Filippo De Simone

The first catalytic method for the cyclization of vinyl-cyclopropyl ketones (formal homo-Nazarov reaction) is reported. Starting from activated cyclopropanes, heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds were obtained under mild conditions using Brønsted acid ca ...
