Indole is one of the most important heterocycles widely present in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Being easily accessible, the 2-nitrostyrenes are attractive starting materials for the indole synthesis and the Cad ...
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 ...
An efficient CpxRhIII‐catalyzed enantioselective alkenyl C−H functionalization/[4+1] annulation of acryl amides and allenes is reported. The described transformation provides straightforward access to enantioenriched α,β‐unsaturated‐γ‐lactams bearing a qua ...
The present invention concerns an intermediate of the following formula (I) in which R1 and R2 represent independently of each other a C1-C12 alkyl group, a (C1-C12 alkoxy)carbonyl group, optionally substituted by one, two or three halogen atom, a (C2-C12 ...
The hydrogenase maturation proteins HypF and HypE catalyze the synthesis of the CN ligands of the active site iron of the NiFe-hydrogenases using carbamoylphosphate as a substrate. HypE protein from Escherichia coli was purified from a transformant overexp ...
[Fe]-Hydrogenase catalyses the reversible hydrogenation of a methenyltetrahydromethanopterin substrate, which is an intermediate step during the methanogenesis from CO2 and H-2. The active site contains an iron-guanylylpyridinol cofactor, in which Fe2+ is ...
The 2,3-anti-3,4-syn-stereotriad (1Z,2S,3R,4S)-1-ethylidene-2,4-dimethyl-3-[(1S)-1-phenylethoxy]-5-oxopent-1-yl isobutyrate {(-)-8, obtained in a one-pot operation from the trimethylsilyl (Z)-enol ether derived from pentan-3-one and (1E,3Z)-1[(1S)-phenylet ...
In the FeGP cofactor of [Fe]-hydrogenase, low-spin Fe-II is in complex with two CO ligands and a pyridinol derivative; the latter ligates the iron with a 6-acylmethyl substituent and the pyridinol nitrogen. A guanylylpyridinol derivative, 6-carboxymethyl-3 ...
A chiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp-x) ligand featuring the semi-saturated H8-binaphthyl backbone as the chiral element was developed. Its application potential was demonstrated by (CpRhIII)-Rh-x-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of acryl acids and allenes, e ...
Pegylation using heterotelechelic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) offers many possibilities to create high-performance molecules and materials. A versatile route is proposed to synthesize heterobifunctional PEG containing diverse combinations of azide, amine, ...
