Head‐to‐Tail Dimerization of N‐Heterocyclic Diazoolefins
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Tak Hin Wong, Zhaowen Dong, Paul Varava, Anastasia Gitlina, Wolfram Feuerstein
The head-to-tail dimerization of N-heterocyclic diazoolefins is described. The products of these formal (3+3) cycloaddition reactions are strongly reducing quinoidal tetrazines. Oxidation of the tetrazines occurs in a stepwise fashion, and we were able to ...
2023Recent progress in alkynylation with hypervalent iodine reagents
Jérôme Waser, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du
Although alkynes are one of the smallest functional groups, they are among the most versatile building blocks for organic chemistry, with applications ranging from biochemistry to material sciences. Alkynylation reactions have traditionally relied on the u ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution in methane/surface scattering depends on catalytic activity
Rainer Beck, Christopher Scott Reilly, Patrick Floss
Recent state-to-state experiments of methane scattering from Ni(111) and graphene-covered Ni(111) combined with quantum mechanical simulations suggest an intriguing correlation between the surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution (SIVR) during the ...
2023Shallow and deep trap states of solvated electrons in methanol and their formation, electronic excitation, and relaxation dynamics
We present condensed-phase first-principles molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the presence of different electron trapping sites in liquid methanol and their roles in the formation, electronic transitions, and relaxation of solvated electrons (e(m ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Structure-property relationships and mixed conductivity in layered hybrid perovskites based on phenyl-derived spacers
Hybrid halide perovskites are currently one of the most studied semiconductors. However, due to poor intrinsic and extrinsic stability, further developments to commercialize devices based on hybrid halide perovskites are limited. Many different strategies ...
EPFL2022Two-Carbon Ring Expansion of Cyclobutanols to Cyclohexenones Enabled by Indole Radical Cation Intermediate: Development and Application to a Total Synthesis of Uleine
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair
A single-electron transfer (SET) oxidation of indole or benzo[b]thiophene to a radical cation reverses the intrinsic polarity of these pi-excessive bicyclic heteroarenes. Here we report an oxidative two-carbon homologation of cyclobutanols to cyclohexenone ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis
Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair
The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis.The first chapter desc ...
EPFL2021Strategies to Functionalize the Anionic Biopolymer Na-Alginate Without Restricting its Polyelectrolyte Properties
Sandrine Gerber, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Luca Szabó
The natural anionic polyelectrolyte alginate and its derivatives are of particular interest for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Most interesting for such applications are alginate hydrogels, which can be processed into various shapes, self-stan ...
2020Chlorination of Phenols Revisited: Unexpected Formation of α,β-Unsaturated C4-Dicarbonyl Ring Cleavage Products
Despite decades of research on the fate of phenolic compounds when water is disinfected with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the formation mechanisms and identity of ring cleavage products, especially at higher c ...
2020Radical-Cation Cascade to Aryltetralin Cyclic Ether Lignans Under Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Jia-Chen Xiang
The development of concise, sustainable, and cost-effective synthesis of aryltetralin lignans, bearing either a fused lactone or cyclic ether, is of significant medicinal importance. Reported is that in the presence of Fukuzumi's acridinium salt under blue ...
