Amphiphilic Iodine(III) Reagents for the Lipophilization of Peptides in Water

Jérôme Waser, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Abhaya Kumar Mishra

We report the functionalization of cysteine residues with lipophilic alkynes bearing a silyl group or an alkyl chain using amphiphilic ethynylbenziodoxolone reagents (EBXs). The reactions were carried out in buffer (pH 6 to 9), without organic co-solvent o ...

Anhydrous Conditions Enable the Catalyst-Free Carboxylation of Aromatic Alkynes with CO2 under Mild Conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Marinella Mazzanti, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Davide Toniolo

The direct carboxylation of aromatic alkynes with CO2, a cheap and widely available C1 source, is the most attractive method for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. Here we show that direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes can be simply performed in near-q ...

C-Terminal Bioconjugation of Peptides through Photoredox Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkynylation

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau

We report the first decarboxylative alkynylation of the C-terminus of peptides starting from free carboxylic acids. The reaction is fast, metal-free, and proceeds cleanly to afford alkynylated peptides with a broad tolerance for the C-terminal amino acid. ...

Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals

Jher Hau Yeap

Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...

Effects of water-soluble organic carbon on aerosol pH

Athanasios Nenes

Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) is a ubiquitous and significant fraction of fine particulate matter. Despite advances in aerosol thermodynamic equilibrium models, there is limited understanding on the comprehensive impacts of WSOC on aerosol acidity (p ...

Deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation of carboxylic acids

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera, Alexis Baptiste Cheseaux

Here we describe a deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation method that yields trifluoromethyl thioesters from readily available carboxylic acids. The method is built upon an "umpolung" strategy where triphenylphosphine is used to first activate an electrop ...

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 ...

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal ca ...

Divergent Asymmetric Synthesis of Polycyclic Compounds via Vinyl Triazenes

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Gregor Kiefer, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Florian Gérald Abela, David Kossler

Vinyl triazenes were obtained by enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reactions of bicyclic alkenes with 1-alkynyl triazenes in the presence of a RuII catalyst with a chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand. These triazenes serve as unique vinyl cation surrogates. ...
