Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...

Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalizations as Strategies for Versatile Organic Building Blocks

Van Manh Pham

Transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalizations have impacted and changed synthetic approaches towards the construction of relevant complex molecules, comprising natural products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and organic materials. This thesis desc ...

EPFL2016

In homogeneous catalysis, the main emphasis on improving catalyst performance (rate, yield and selectivity) is directed towards manipulation of the ligands. The steric and electronic effects of ligands are extremely well understood and the rational design ...

Transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalizations became a complementary and efficient bond-forming strategy over the past decade. In this respect, Cp*Rh(III) complexes have emerged as powerful catalysts for a broad spectrum of reactions giving access to s ...

American Chemical Society2015

The activation of carbon-carbon bonds has attracted much attention in the past decade. Despite important progress, the development of asymmetric reactions lags behind. For the first time, asymmetric rhodium(I)-catalyzed direct oxidative additions into enan ...

Synthesis of Functionalized Epoxides by Copper-Catalyzed Alkylative Epoxidation of Allylic Alcohols with Alkyl Nitriles

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Ala Bunescu

A copper-catalyzed oxyalkylation of allylic alcohols using nonactivated alkyl nitriles as reaction partners was developed. A sequence involving generation of an alkyl nitrile radical followed by its addition to a double bond and a copper-mediated formation ...

Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Rh(III)-Complexes for Asymmetric C-H Functionalizations

Baihua Ye

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) based transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization has become an important synthetic tool for the construction of molecular complexity from simple starting materials. Despite their high potential, the corresponding asy ...

Highly Enantioselective Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Activation of Enantiotopic Cyclobutanone C-C Bonds

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The selective functionalization of carbon-carbon sigma bonds is a synthetic strategy that offers uncommon retrosynthetic disconnections. Despite progress in CC activation and its great importance, the development of asymmetric reactions lags behind. Rhodiu ...
