Photocatalyzed [2σ + 2σ] and [2σ + 2π] Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 5- or 6-Membered Carbocycles
Jérôme Waser, Matthew Wodrich, André Bossonnet
We report the use of photocatalysis for the homolytic ring-opening of carbonyl cyclopropanes. In contrast to previous studies, our approach does not require a metal cocatalyst or a strong reductant. The carbonyl cyclopropanes can be employed for both [2σ + ...
2023Ring-Opening Reactions of Aminocyclopropanes and Aminocyclobutanes
Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...
EPFL2022Iron-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Alkyl Iodides with Alkynes To Yield cis-Olefins: Mechanistic Insights from Computation
In a recent study, a new procedure for Z-selective olefin synthesis by reductive coupling of alkyl iodides with terminal alkynes in the presence of iron salts is described. This transformation is representative of many newly developed synthetic routes thro ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Z-Selective Synthesis of Vinyl Boronates through Fe-Catalyzed Alkyl Radical Addition
Xile Hu, Alexis Baptiste Cheseaux, Guido Barzanò
Z-Selective synthesis of vinyl boronates is challenging. This work describes Fe-catalyzed addition of alkyl radicals, formed by the corresponding alkyl halides, to ethynyl ethynylboronic acid pinacol ester that gives rise to Z-vinyl boronates in high stere ...
2019Predicting Product Distribution of Propene Dimerization in Nanoporous Materials
In this work, a theoretical framework is developed to explain and predict changes in the product distribution of the propene dimerization reaction, which yields a mixture of C-6 olefin isomers, resulting from the use of different porous materials as cataly ...
American Chemical Society2017Synthesis of Alkynylated Heterocycles by Direct C-H Alkynylation or Domino Alkynylation Reactions
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 ...
