The goal of this thesis is to develop new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using inexpensive and simple coupling partners like aryl halides (pseudohalides), sulfonyl derivatives, Grignard reagents, alkenes and alkynes with metal catalysis, preferably u ...
A tetragonal molybdenum nitride (β-Mo2N) has been prepared by temperature programmed treatment of MoO3 in flowing N2 + H2 and for the first time shown to catalyze the liquid phase selective hydrogenation (T = 423 K; PH2=11bar) of a series of para-substitut ...
Functional groups are prerequisites for the assembly of building blocks to more elaborate structures for research work in the life sciences field. Functionalization can be most conveniently and efficaciously accomplished by generating an organometallic der ...
We report for the first time 99.9% yield of aminocompounds and high TOFs (up to 61 s(-1)) in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of several para-substituted (-OH, -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -Cl, -COOH and -NO2) nitroaromatics over quasi-monodispersed (ca. 3.3 nm fro ...
Ribonuclease H (RNase H) belongs to the nucleotidyl-transferase superfamily and hydrolyzes the phosphodiester linkage on the RNA strand of a DNA/RNA hybrid duplex. Due to its activity in HIV reverse transcription, it represents a promising target for anti- ...
The conversion of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole, an exceptionally acidic arene, via a 4-lithiated intermediate into more than three dozen new derivs. was conceived as a case study. The lithiated species was trapped by C0-electrophiles (4-toluenesulfonyl az ...
This thesis deals with the electrocatalytic properties of two-dimensional metal organic coordination networks (2D-MOCNs) self-assembled on electrode surfaces and catalytic activity of 2D-MOCNs is demonstrated for the first time. The low-coordinated metal c ...
Efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of polyfunctional (E)- and (2)-alkenes and conjugated (EE)- and (E,2)-dienones are presented. They rely upon one-pot, four-component processes that condense 1-oxy-1,3-dienes, silyl enol ethers, SO2, and c ...
Two main topics were addressed in this manuscript: (1) New methods for indoles and [3,4]-fused oxindoles syntheses; (2) Copper-catalyzed/mediated difunctionalization of alkenes with alkylnitriles. Given the omnipresent character of the indole and oxindole ...
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 ...
