A catalytic enantioselective method for the synthesis of chiral 1H-isoindoles bearing quaternary stereogenic centers is reported. Powered by readily accessible phosphordiamidite ligands, the presented palladium(0)-catalyzed C-H function-alization uses trif ...
A robust and scalable route to prep. the 7-azetidinylated alc., a useful precursor for the photoprotection of a variety of leaving groups, and its use in the prepn. of model phosphate, sulfonate, and carbamate derivs. is presented. ...
Cells need to be able to precisely control their proteome composition in order to maintain homeostasis. This is of particular relevance in fast dividing cells, such as embryonic stem cells, since their global protein levels need to be doubled at each divis ...
The development of 2D nanomaterial coatings across metal surfaces is a challenge due to the mismatch between the metal microstructure and the nanoscale materials. The naturally occurring thin oxidative layer present across all metal surfaces, may lead to l ...
Sulfoximines with stereogenic sulfur atoms are attractive structural motifs in drug discovery. A direct catalytic enantioselective method for the synthesis of sulfur-chiral 1,2-benzothiazines from readily accessible diaryl sulfoximines is presented. Rhodiu ...
Vicinal amino alcohols and diamines are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. As such, they have been targets of choice for exploring and developing novel and more efficient strategies in organic synthesis. In this context, the difunctionalization of ole ...
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 ...
An enantioselective C-H arylation of phosphine oxides with o-quinone diazides catalyzed by an iridium(III) complex bearing an atropchiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp-x) ligand and phthaloyl tert-leucine as co-catalyst is reported. The method allows access to a) P ...
A versatile synthesis of azidolactones through azidation and cyclization of carboxylic acids onto alkenes has been developed. Based on either photoredox or palladium catalysis, (1,1) and (1,2) azido lactones can be selectively synthesized. The choice of ca ...
Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...
