Lewis acid catalyzed [4+2] annulation of bicyclobutanes with dienol ethers for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.1]octanes
Bicyclic carbocycles containing a high fraction of Csp3 have become highly attractive synthetic targets because of the multiple applications they have found in medicinal chemistry. The formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) with two- or three-atom p ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024Editing Tetrasubstituted Carbon: Dual C–O Bond Functionalization of Tertiary Alcohols Enabled by Palladium-Based Dyotropic Rearrangement
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Baochao Yang, Tristan Corentin Pierre Delcaillau
Many elegant asymmetric syntheses of enantioenriched tertiary alcohols have been developed, and both the transition metal-catalyzed and the radical-based peripheral functionalization of tertiary alcohols have attracted intensive research interest in recent ...
2024New Polymers from Biomass-Derived Hydroxycinnamic Acid Derivatives
Polymers play a central role in shaping our world across various fields, but their heavy reliance on petrochemicals poses climate change, environmental and health risks. To address and alleviate these issues, transitioning to sustainable polymers, sourced ...
EPFL2024Arylative Ring Expansion of 3-Vinylazetidin-3-Ols and 3-Vinyloxetan-3-Ols to Dihydrofurans by Dual Palladium and Acid Catalysis
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Takuji Fujii
In contrast to the well-studied 1-vinylcyclobutanols, the reactivity of 3-vinylazetidin-3-ols 1 and 3-vinyloxetan-3-ols 2 under transition metal catalysis remains largely unexplored. We report herein their unique reactivity under dual palladium and acid ca ...

2023Development of Hetero-Vinylbenziodoxolone Reagents for Applications in Synthetic Methodology and Biomolecule Functionalization
Among the numerous existing chemical motifs, alkenes, alkynes, enol ethers and enamides, with an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, are versatile functional groups that are found in many natural products and bioactive compounds. They are widely used as valuab ...
EPFL2023Direct conversion of lignin to functionalized diaryl ethers via oxidative cross-coupling
Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu
Efficient valorization of lignin, a sustainable source of functionalized aromatic products, would reduce dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks. Oxidative depolymerization is frequently applied to lignin to generate phenolic mono- mers. However, due to th ...
2023Synthesis, isolation and application of a sila-ketenyl anion
Rosario Scopelliti, Shiori Fujimori
Ynolates or ketenyl anions, [RCCO]-, are negatively charged reactive intermediates, which can be generated in situ and used for divergent chemical transformations. Ynolates can react either at the oxygen or carbon centres or across the C-C triple bond, mak ...
London2023Electrolyte engineering via ether solvent fluorination for developing stable non-aqueous lithium metal batteries
Fluorination of solvents, useful for non-aqueous lithium-based batteries, improves the electrochemical stability but decreases the ionic conductivity. Here, the authors report a targeted functionalization of an ether solvent to balance the electrolyte ioni ...
