New insight into the chemistry of allymetals

The present thesis work provides new insight into the generation of allylmetal species and into their reactivity toward electrophiles. endo-Allylpotassiums are known to be more stable than their corresponding exo-isomers. The ring strain of methylenecycloa ...

Synthesis of C-glycosides and C-linked disaccharides through carbonylative Stille coupling reactions

Peter Steunenberg

In the first part, we described the synthesis of C-(1'→1) and C-(1'→4) disaccharide precursors, which are readily obtained via the carbonylative Stille coupling of glucal and isolevoglucosenone derivatives. Tin glycals and triflates, derived from isolevogl ...

Le réarrangement [1,2] de Wittig : contribution à l'étude de son mécanisme et de ses applications

Frédéric Bailly

The importance of catalysis in chemistry has not to be proved anymore. Be it homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis, the constant progresses observed in that field proves its obvious interest. The asymmetric homogeneous catalysis is a method of choice to s ...
