Tandem catalysis enables chlorine-containing waste as chlorination reagents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xinbang Wu

Chlorinated compounds are ubiquitous. However, accumulation of chlorine-containing waste has a negative impact on human health and the environment due to the inapplicability of common disposal methods, such as landfill and incineration. Here we report a su ...

Semipinacol Rearrangement of Cyclopropenylcarbinols for the Synthesis of Highly Substituted Cyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Vladyslav Smyrnov

An electrophile-induced semipinacol rearrangement of cyclopropenylcarbinols is reported. This transformation gives access to various polyfunctionalized cyclopropanes under mild metal-free conditions. The scope of the reaction includes iodine, sulfur and se ...

Chemo- and regio-divergent access to fluorinated 1-alkyl and 1-acyl triazenes from alkynyl triazenes

Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Carl Thomas Bormann, Jin Fay Tan

The 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethylene unit is prevalent in bioactive molecules and functional materials. Despite being in principle a straightforward strategy to access this motif, the direct tetrafluorination of alkynes involves very hazardous or inconvenient r ...

Chlorination of arenes via the degradation of toxic chlorophenols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xuemei Yang

Aryl chlorides are among the most versatile synthetic precursors, and yet inexpensive and benign chlorination techniques to produce them are underdeveloped. We propose a process to generate aryl chlorides by chloro-group transfer from chlorophenol pollutan ...

Engaging 1-Alkynyl Triazenes in Transition Metal-Catalyzed and Fluorinative Transformations

Jin Fay Tan

Triazenes have garnered great attention for their anti-cancer properties and versatility in organic chemistry. Recently, a novel synthesis of 1-alkynyl triazenes was reported. This thesis describes the compatibility, reactivity and applications of 1-alkyny ...

Oxidative Fluorination of Cyclopropylamides through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform cyclopropylamides and cyclobutylamides into fluorinated imines. The imines can be isolated in their more stable hemiaminal form, with the fluorine atom installed selectively at the gamma or delta po ...

Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Martin Hulla

The thesis describes a simple approach for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents, the use of organic salts as N-formylation catalysts, their physical properties required for high catalytic activity and their role in the catalytic ...

Versatile Route to trans-Platinum(II) Complexes via Manipulation of a Coordinated 3-(Pyridin-3-yl)propanoicAcid Ligand

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel, Marta Maroto Diaz

We describe the direct coupling of alcohols and amines to a 3-(pyridin-3-yl)propanoic acid ligand coordinated to a Pt(II) to afford ester and amide derivatives. Using this approach, a family of trans-Pt(II) compounds with amine ligands bearing long perfluo ...

Formation of brominated trihalomethanes during chlorination or ozonation of natural organic matter extracts and model compounds in saline water

Urs von Gunten

Oxidation experiments (chlorine, ozone and bromine) were carried out with synthetic saline waters containing natural organic matter (NOM) extracts and model compounds to evaluate the potential of these surrogates to mimic the formation of brominated trihal ...

Room temperature C(sp(2))-H oxidative chlorination via photoredox catalysis

Xile Hu, Lei Zhang

Photoredox catalysis has been developed to achieve oxidative C-H chlorination of aromatic compounds using NaCl as the chlorine source and Na2S2O8 as the oxidant. The reactions occur at room temperature and exhibit exclusive selectivity for C(sp(2))-H bonds ...
