Two-Carbon Ring Expansion of Cyclobutanols to Cyclohexenones Enabled by Indole Radical Cation Intermediate: Development and Application to a Total Synthesis of Uleine

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

A single-electron transfer (SET) oxidation of indole or benzo[b]thiophene to a radical cation reverses the intrinsic polarity of these pi-excessive bicyclic heteroarenes. Here we report an oxidative two-carbon homologation of cyclobutanols to cyclohexenone ...

Iron-Catalysed Remote C(sp3)-H Azidation of O-Acyl Oximes and N -Acyloxy Imidates

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Ruben Omar Torres Ochoa, Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

The azido group occupies an important position in modern organic chemistry, broadly used as amine surrogates and as anchors in bioconjugation. Despite their importance, examples of selective direct azidation of inert C(sp3)–H bonds remain limited and often ...

Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis

Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis. The first chapter des ...

Copper-Catalyzed 1,2-Methoxy Methoxycarbonylation of Alkenes with Methyl Formate

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Balázs Budai, Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

Reported here is a copper-catalyzed 1,2-methoxy methoxycarbonylation of alkenes by an unprecedented use of methyl formate as a source of both the methoxy and the methoxycarbonyl groups. This reaction transforms styrene and its derivatives into value-added ...
