Synthesis of Quinolines via the Metal-free Visible-Light-Mediated Radical Azidation of Cyclopropenes

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Vladyslav Smyrnov

We report the synthesis of quinolines using cyclopropenes and an azidobenziodazolone (ABZ) hypervalent iodine reagent as an azide radical source under visible-light irradiation. Multisubstituted quinoline products were obtained in 34-81% yield. The reactio ...

New Strategies for the Functionalization of Alkenes Exploiting Tethering Chemistry and Ring Strain

Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

Amino alcohols, cyclopropanes and nitriles are privileged structural motifs found in the scaffold of natural products and bioactive compounds. In addition, they are versatile building blocks in organic chemistry. The development of new and increasingly eff ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Ring-Opening Reactions of Cyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Vincent Géry C Pirenne

This review describes the development of enantioselective methods for the ring opening of cyclopropanes. Both approaches based on the reaction of nonchiral cyclopropanes and (dynamic) kinetic resolutions and asymmetric transformations of chiral substrates ...

Triazene-Activated Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes: Ring-Opening and (3 + 2) Annulation Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Zhaowen Dong, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du

Donor–acceptor cyclopropanes substituted with 3,3-dialkyltriazenyl groups are described herein. The strong electron-donating character of the triazene renders the cyclopropanes highly reactive, allowing for catalyst-free ring-opening reactions with methano ...

Azide Radical Initiated Ring Opening of Cyclopropenes Leading to Alkenyl Nitriles and Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

We report herein a radical‐mediated amination of cyclopropenes. The transformation proceeds through a cleavage of the three‐membered ring after the addition of an azide radical on the strained double bond and leads to tetrasubstituted alkenyl nitrile deriv ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Functionalization of Olefins and Alkynes: From Oxyalkynylation to Tethered Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations (DYKAT)

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Ugo Jonathan Orcel, Mikus Purins, Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood, Luca Buzzetti

This review presents an account of the palladium-catalyzed functionalizations of alkenes and alkynes developed at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO). Starting from the intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of alkenes, tethered met ...

Synthesis of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes by (3+2) annulation of cyclopropenes with aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Alec Gagnebin

We report the convergent synthesis of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes possessing an all-carbon quaternary center via a (3 + 2) annulation of cyclopropenes with cyclopropylanilines. Using an organic or an iridium photoredox catalyst and blue LED irradiation, good yie ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Carboamination of Allylic Alcohols Using a Trifluoroacetaldehyde-Derived Tether

Jérôme Waser, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Ugo Jonathan Orcel

The selective palladium-catalyzed carboamination of allylic alcohols is reported on the basis of the use of an easily introduced trifluoroacetaldehyde-derived tether. Aminoalkynylation reactions were realized using alkynyl bromides and commercially availab ...
