The first chapter of this thesis describe the development of a general synthesis of ynimines, an under-exploited motif in organic chemistry. In the presence of an inexpensive copper catalyst and 2,2'-biquinoline, reaction of easily accessible O-acyloximes ...
The total synthesis of pentacyclic monoterpene indole alkaloids is the focus of this thesis.
Total syntheses of (±)-alstilobanine C, (±)-undulifoline and (±)-alstilobanine B, three natural products from the Ulean family of alkaloids, were accomplished. The ...
Trigonoliimines are hexacyclic bisindole alkaloids isolated recently by Hao and co-workers. A synthesis of (±)-trigonoliimine B was accomplished in seven steps from simple starting materials featuring the Bischler-Napieralski reaction for closing the seven ...
This thesis is divided in seven main chapters including an introduction about the state of the art in the field, four main chapters describing the main part of the work, a short insight on the implications of the presented results for other research projec ...
Be like Mike: The title reaction in the presence of the catalyst 1 afforded Michael adducts in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The adducts were readily converted into alpha,alpha’-disubstituted alpha-amino acids. The enantioselective total synth ...
My PhD work started with the development of a racemic access to trigonoliimine B, an hexacyclic alkaloid isolated in 2010. After having explored different strategies, we reported a 7-step synthesis of this natural product. This synthesis features a challen ...
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 ...
Michael addition of (-)-(1S,5R,6R,7S)-6,7-bis(methoxymethoxy)-2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]-octan- 3-one lithium enolate to (+)-(1R,4S,5S,6S)-5-benzeneselenyl-6-chloro-3-methylidene-7-oxabicyclo[2 .2.1]heptan-2-one gives a single adduct with highstereoselectivit ...
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 ...
Thiol-ene addition of thioacetic acid A is widely used in the synthesis of thiols from vinyl precursors, but so far has not been conducted on non-conjugated vinyl nitriles. The challenge when vinyl nitriles are used is to selectively conduct the thiol-ene ...
