Oxidation of organic micropollutant surrogate functional groups with peracetic acid activated by aqueous Co(II), Cu(II), or Ag(I) and geopolymer-supported Co(II)

Urs von Gunten

Peracetic acid (PAA) in combination with transition metals has recently gained increasing attention for organic micropollutant abatement. In this study, aqueous Co(II), Cu(II), and Ag(I) were compared for their capacity to activate PAA. Co(II) outperformed ...

Cu(I)-Catalyzed gem-Aminoalkynylation of Diazo Compounds: Synthesis of Fluorinated Propargylic Amines

Jérôme Waser, Guillaume Dominique Pisella, Nieves Pilar Ramirez Hernandez

The gem-aminoalkynylation of fluorinated diazo compounds catalyzed by a simple Cu(I) salt is described. This three-component reaction allows the synthesis of propargylic amines with broad functional group tolerance. Both electron-rich and electron-poor ani ...

Umpolung Of Electron-Rich Heteroarenes With Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Raj Kumar Nandi

Five-membered heterocycles are well known for their innate nucleophilicity. In contrast, reaction of these heterocycles as electrophiles is less established and has become only recently an intensively investigated research area in synthetic chemistry. The ...

Copper‐Catalyzed Aza‐Sonogashira Cross‐Coupling to Ynimines: Development and Application to the Synthesis of Heterocycles

Jieping Zhu, Qiang Wang, Rémi Hugo Lavernhe

Nitrogen substituted alkynes such as ynamines and ynamides are versatile synthetic building blocks in organic chemistry. Ynimines bearing additional nucleophilic and electrophilic centers relative to ynamines and ynamides are expected to have high syntheti ...

Method Development towards Orthogonal Electrophile Delivery

Lingxi Wang

Redox signaling events mediated by reactive electrophilic species (RES) are key players in several cellular processes. However, the studies on RES have been challenging due to their high reactivity towards numerous nucleophilic groups present in the cells ...

Light‐switchable buffers

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Daniel Maria Busiello, Cristian Pezzato, Stefano Zamuner, Cesare Berton

A visible light-switchable buffer system based on a protonated merocyanine photoacid is presented. Para -substitution of the indolium side with a methoxy group affords a compound suitable for making hydrolytically stable aqueous buffers whose pH can be tun ...

Diamine Synthesis via the Nitrogen-Directed Azidation of sigma- and pi-C-C Bonds

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

Diamines are essential building blocks for the synthesis of agrochemicals, drugs, and organic materials, yet their synthesis remains challenging, as both nitrogens need to be differentiated and diverse substitution patterns (1,2, 1,3, or 1,4) are required. ...

Diformylxylose as a new polar aprotic solvent produced from renewable biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick

Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...

Phototransformation of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems: Characterization of Long-Lived Photooxidants Derived from Dissolved Organic Matter

Stephanie Christa Remke

The increasing interest in the fate of organic contaminants in the aquatic environment requires the elucidation of relevant abiotic transformation processes. These processes often involve the ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM), a complex mixture of ...

Synthesis of Indenyl Triazenes by Rhodium-Catalyzed Annulation Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Carl Thomas Bormann, Florian Gérald Abela

The synthesis of vinyl triazenes by metal-catalyzed processes is attractive, but only few examples have been described so far. Here, we describe Rh-catalyzed [3+2] annulation reactions of arylboronic acid derivatives and alkynyl triazenes. These reactions ...

Reactions of nitrogen-containing compounds with ozone: kinetics and mechanisms

Sung Eun Lim

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 ...

Molecular-Level Transformation of Dissolved Organic Matter during Oxidation by Ozone and Hydroxyl Radical

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation of drinking and wastewater relies on ozone (O-3) and hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) as oxidants. Both oxidants react with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and alter its composition, but the selectivity of the two oxidants and mechanisms of re ...
