Stereoselective synthesis of alkyl-, aryl-, vinyl- and alkynyl-substituted Z-enamides and enol ethers

Matthew Wodrich, Jérôme Waser, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Paola Caramenti, Nina Declas

Enamides and enol ethers are valuable building blocks in synthetic chemistry, yet their stereoselective synthesis can be challenging. Herein, we report a new stereoselective synthesis of vinyl, aryl, alkynyl, alkyl and thio-substituted Z-enamides and enol ...

Exploitation of Unconventional Electrophiles in Enantioselective Pd(0)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalizations

Daria Grosheva

Asymmetric metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization has enjoyed great success as a powerful strategy for the rapid construction of elaborate structures from simple precursors. For example, aryl (pseudo)halides have been extensively employed as electrophilic s ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Ketenimines from Isocyanides and Synthetic Studies Towards the Total Synthesis of Mersilongine

Mathias Mamboury

In the first chapter of this thesis, the development of two new reactions for the synthesis of vinyl ketenimines and alpha-oxo-ketenimines from isocyanides is presented. These palladium-catalyzed transformations both feature an isocyanide insertion / beta- ...

Au Core-Pd Shell Bimetallic Nanoparticles Immobilized within Hyper-Cross-Linked Polystyrene for Mechanistic Study of Suzuki Cross-Coupling: Homogeneous or Heterogeneous Catalysis?

Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas La Grange

The synthesis of catalytically active bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles stabilized in hyper-cross-linked polystyrene (HPS) for Suzuki cross-coupling of 4-bromoanisole (4-BrAn) and phenylboronic acid is presented. The core-shell structure with a thin (less tha ...

Contributions to the Chemistry of N2O and 1-Alkynyltriazenes

Loïc Nicolas Jeanbourquin

This thesis describes the utilization of nitrous oxide N2O as an oxidant in oxidative cou-pling reactions and as a nitrogen atom donor in the synthesis of 1-alkynyltriazene and further reactivity of the latter. An overview of N2O and its reactivity is give ...

Machine learning meets volcano plots: Computational discovery of cross-coupling catalysts

Anatole von Lilienfeld, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Benjamin André René Meyer, Boodsarin Sawatlon

The application of modern machine learning to challenges in atomistic simulation is gaining attraction. We present new machine learning models that can predict the energy of the oxidative addition process between a transition metal complex and a substrate ...

Dyes, Radicals and Nitrous Oxide Adducts Derived from N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are able to form covalent adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under ambient conditions. This thesis summarizes the studies of these adducts and their reactivity. A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with nit ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Double Carbopalladation/C−H Functionalization with Statistical Amplification of Product Enantiopurity: A Convertible Linker Approach

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong, Aurore Kamilia Limouni

Combining a catalytic enantioselective reaction with dimerization in a single operation is an efficient way to upgrade the enantiomeric excesses (ee) of the product. Palladium-catalyzed reaction of N-(2-iodophenyl)-N-methyl methacrylamide derivatives with ...

Gold-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1,3-Diaminopyrazoles from 1-Alkynyltriazenes and Imines

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Loïc Nicolas Jeanbourquin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

A new procedure for the synthesis of highly substituted 1,3-diaminopyrazoles is described. As substrates, we have employed 1-alkynyltriazenes and imines. The formation of pyrazoles was achieved by two-fold C–N coupling reactions in the presence of (JohnPho ...

α-Oxo-Ketenimines from Isocyanides and α-Haloketones: Synthesis and Divergent Reactivity

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Mathias Mamboury

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of a-haloketones with isocyanides afforded -oxo-ketenimines through alpha-hydride elimination of the beta-oxo-imidoyl palladium intermediates. Reaction of these relatively stable alpha-oxo ketenimines with nucleophiles suc ...
