Hypervalent Iodine: New Reagents and Functionalization of Peptides

Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du

Alkynes are found in a multitude of natural or synthetic bioactive compounds. In addition to the capacity of these chemical motifs to impact the physicochemical properties of a molecule of interest, the well-established reactivity of alkynes makes them ...

Development of methods for the synthesis of large combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic compounds

Mischa Schüttel

Macrocycles have raised much interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to bind challenging targets while often still being able to cross membranes to reach intracellular proteins. However, the development of macrocyclic ligands to new di ...

Photochemical Alkynylations with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos

Over the past twenty years, photochemical transformations have gained in importance in organic chemistry. Indeed, the development of photocatalysts has allowed the use of visible light as an energy source for chemical transformations. More specifically, ph ...

Synthetic chemistry with nitrous oxide and triazenes

Iris Roswitha Landman

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has gained much interest because of its physiological effects ("laughing gas") and its negative environmental impact ("greenhouse gas", "ozone-depleting substance"): It has a lifetime of more than 100 years in the atmosphere. Its persis ...

Structure and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Alkynyl Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Rosario Scopelliti, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Matthew Wodrich, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du

Ethynylbenziodoxol(on)e (EBX) cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents have become popular reagents for the alkynylation of radicals and nucleophiles, but only offer limited possibilities for further structure and reactivity fine-tuning. Herein, the synthesis of ...

Tosyloxybenziodoxolone: A Platform for Performing the Umpolung of Alkynes in One-Pot Transformations

Jérôme Waser, Julien Aymeric Borrel

Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly encountered reagents for the electrophilic alkynylation of nucleophiles. Herein, we report a one-pot, two-step process for EBX generation and their direct application in substrate functionalization. Our approach e ...

One-Pot Synthesis of 1-[(Triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl]-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX): Process Safety Assessment and Impact of Impurities on Product Stability

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Miyeon Chang, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Paola Caramenti, Lionel Schouwey

The hypervalent iodine reagent 1-[(TriIsoPropylSilyl)Ethynyl]-1,2-BenziodoXol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX) is among the most useful electrophilic and somophilic alkynylation reagents. Herein, we report a new synthetic protocol to access this reagent in one step fr ...

Metal-Free Electrophilic Alkynylation of Sulfenate Anions with Ethynylbenziodoxolone Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Franck Le Vaillant, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos, Alec Gagnebin

Alkynyl sulfoxides are important building blocks with a unique reactivity in organic chemistry, but only a few reliable methods have been reported to synthesize them. A novel route to access alkynyl sulfoxides is reported herein by using ethynyl benziodoxo ...
