Cu(I)-Catalyzed gem-Aminoalkynylation of Diazo Compounds: Synthesis of Fluorinated Propargylic Amines

Jérôme Waser, Guillaume Dominique Pisella, Nieves Pilar Ramirez Hernandez

The gem-aminoalkynylation of fluorinated diazo compounds catalyzed by a simple Cu(I) salt is described. This three-component reaction allows the synthesis of propargylic amines with broad functional group tolerance. Both electron-rich and electron-poor ani ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Kun-Han Lin, Iwona Swiderska, Hélène Wu, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...

Low‐Volatility Vapors and New Particle Formation Over the Southern Ocean During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Robin Lewis Modini, Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

During summer, the Southern Ocean is largely unaffected by anthropogenic emissions, which makes this region an ideal place to investigate marine natural aerosol sources and processes. A better understanding of natural aerosol is key to constrain the preind ...

Modeling the Ga/As binary system across temperatures and compositions from first principles

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

Materials composed of elements from the third and fifth columns of the periodic table display a very rich behavior, with the phase diagram usually containing a metallic liquid phase and a polar semiconducting solid. As a consequence, it is very hard to ach ...

Methods for the generation of large combinatorial macrocycle libraries

Sevan Mleh Habeshian

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...

Engaging 1-Alkynyl Triazenes in Transition Metal-Catalyzed and Fluorinative Transformations

Jin Fay Tan

Triazenes have garnered great attention for their anti-cancer properties and versatility in organic chemistry. Recently, a novel synthesis of 1-alkynyl triazenes was reported. This thesis describes the compatibility, reactivity and applications of 1-alkyny ...

TiCl3-Mediated Synthesis of 2,3,3-Trisubstituted Indolenines: Total Synthesis of (+)-1,2-Dehydroaspidospermidine, (+)-Condyfoline, and (-)-Tubifoline

Cyril Piemontesi, Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Bastien Delayre

2,3,3-Trisubstituted indolenine constitutes an integral part of many biologically important monoterpene indole alkaloids. We report herein an unprecedented access to this skeleton by a TiCl3-mediated reductive cyclization of tetrasubstituted alkenes bearin ...

Ethynylation of Cysteine Residues: From Peptides to Proteins in Vitro and in Living Cells

Jérôme Waser, Charlotte Marie Sornay, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Raj Kumar Nandi

Current approaches to introduce terminal alkynes for bioorthogonal reactions into biomolecules still present limitations in terms of either reactivity, selectivity, or adduct stability. We present a method for the ethynylation of cysteine residues based on ...
