The work presented in this thesis focuses on the synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The first part describes the divergent total synthesis of (-)-rhazinilam, (-)-leucomidine B and (+)-leuconodine F, three structurally distinct natural products of t ...

Heterocycles are important compounds in organic chemistry. To introduce functional groups on heterocycles or synthesize functionalized heterocycles stays a hot topic of research. Among all the functional groups, alkynes attracted a lot of attention not onl ...

Green house gas emissions, the depleting of non-renewable resources, and poor waste management have a detrimental environmental and socioeconomic impact. Consequantly, the development of alternative processes that alleviate these problems is imperative. Ap ...

The first efficient and non-precious nanoparticle catalyst for alkene hydrosilylation with commercially relevant tertiary silanes has been developed. The nickel nanoparticle catalyst was prepared in situ from a simple nickel alkoxide precatalyst Ni((OBu)-B ...

The formation and the dissociation of metal hydrides are key steps within the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) pathway for photochemical water splitting, but also impacts a wide range of other catalytic, industrial, and biochemical reactions. Herein, we d ...

The first ene reactions of SO2 and unfunctionalized alkenes are reported. Calculations suggest that the endergonic ene reactions of SO2 with alkenes can be used to generate beta,gamma-unsaturated sulfinyl and sulfonyl compounds. Indeed, in the presence of ...

My PhD work started with the development of a racemic access to trigonoliimine B, an hexacyclic alkaloid isolated in 2010. After having explored different strategies, we reported a 7-step synthesis of this natural product. This synthesis features a challen ...

Trigonoliimines are hexacyclic bisindole alkaloids isolated recently by Hao and co-workers. A synthesis of (±)-trigonoliimine B was accomplished in seven steps from simple starting materials featuring the Bischler-Napieralski reaction for closing the seven ...

The goal of this thesis is to develop new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using inexpensive and simple coupling partners like aryl halides (pseudohalides), sulfonyl derivatives, Grignard reagents, alkenes and alkynes with metal catalysis, preferably u ...

Alk-2-enesulfonyl chlorides 1-4 were synthesized by the BCl3-promoted ene reaction of alkenes with SO2. These sulfonyl chlorides were then used as electrophilic partners in iron-catalyzed desulfinylative cross-coupling reactions with different Grignard rea ...

Be like Mike: The title reaction in the presence of the catalyst 1 afforded Michael adducts in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The adducts were readily converted into alpha,alpha’-disubstituted alpha-amino acids. The enantioselective total synth ...

The increasing progress in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of libraries of active compounds and theirs analogues. A wide range of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds c ...

Using readily available chiral auxiliaries such as (+)- and (-)-camphanic acid, (R,R)- and (S,S)-tartaric acid derivatives (e.g. RADO(R)-COCl, SADO(R)-COCl) efficient diastereoselective syntheses of rare sugars and glycomimetics have been developed. They e ...

Room temperature ionic liquids comprise an unique class of solvent composed of organic and inorganic-based ions that are molten under ambient conditions. They are characterised by high solvent polarity and low vapour pressure, and can be tailored to have s ...

The first Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of nonactivated olefins is reported. The reaction gives access to important tetrahydrofuran and pyrrolidine heterocycles with high diastereoselectivity. The unique synthetic potential of a ...

Aryl and alkenyl sulfonyl chlorides can be used in Heck-Mizoroki-type couplings with mono- and disubstituted olefins in a nitrile-functionalized ionic liquid, viz. [C3CNpy][Tf2N]. Advantages over previously reported methods include: (1) use of a cheap cat ...

The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization ...
