Nitriles as main products from the oxidation of primary amines by ferrate (VI): Kinetics, mechanisms and toxicological implications for nitrogenous disinfection byproduct control
Woongbae Lee, Yun Ho Lee, Jaedon Shin
Ferrate (Fe(VI)), a promising water treatment oxidant, can be used for micropollutant abatement or disinfection byproduct mitigation. However, knowledge gaps remain concerning the interaction between Fe(VI) and dissolved organic matter structures, notably ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Ring-Opening Reactions of Aminocyclopropanes and Aminocyclobutanes
Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...
EPFL2022Catalytic enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction of carbonyl compounds: Development and application to the asymmetric total synthesis of indole alkaloids
This thesis consists in an extensive study about the enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction (EPSR) and its application to the total synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs). The general introduction presents the literature background about this ...
EPFL2022Enhanced Treatment of Municipal Wastewater Effluents by Fe-TAML/H2O2: Efficiency of Micropollutant Abatement
Combining iron with a tetraamido-macrocyclic ligand (Fe-TAML) as a catalyst and with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the bulk oxidant is a process that has been suggested for the oxidative abatement of micropollutants during water treatment. In this study, the ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Palladium Catalysed Intramolecular Carbo-oxygenation of Propargylic Amines to Access 1,2-Amino Alcohols and alpha-Amino Ketones via in situ Tether Formation
Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood
a-Amino ketones and 1,2-amino alcohols are important structural motifs in organic chemistry, that
can be observed in natural products, pharmaceutically and bioactive compounds. For these reasons,
they constitute privileged targets for the development of ne ...
EPFL2020Reactions of nitrogen-containing compounds with ozone: kinetics and mechanisms
Nitrogen-containing moieties are widespread in natural waters in dissolved organic nitrogen and micropollu-tants. They are often susceptible to an electrophilic attack of ozone because of the electron-rich nature of the neutral form of nitrogen in organic ...
EPFL2020Copper-Catalyzed Cyanoalkylative Aziridination of N-Sulfonyl Allylamines
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Minh Tu Ha, Weisi Guo
Reaction of N-arylsulfonyl allylamines with alkyl nitriles in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and a catalytic amount of copper salt afforded homologated aziridines in 43-86% yield. A sequence involving addition of the in situ generated cyanom ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2020Methanol production from CO(2)via an integrated, formamide-assisted approach
Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Aswin Gopakumar, Gabriela Gastelu, Tim Pfister, Gunay Imanzade
The synthesis of fuels from CO2 has made tremendous progress in recent years, although practical applications remain limited. Herein, we describe a cyclic process that produces MeOH from CO(2)via formamide intermediates, which are initially reduced using N ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Development of New Strategies of Umpolung with Cyclic Hypervalent Iodine Reagents
Organic chemistry is essential for the development of a modern society and technical progress requires the continuous development of synthetic methodologies Novel, efficient, selective and flexible protocols are employed to access complex frameworks from s ...
EPFL2019Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2
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 ...
