    Alkynes are used as building blocks in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and materials science. Therefore, efficient methods for their synthesis are the subject of intensive research. Herein, we report the direct synthesis of alkynes from readily available carboxylic acids at room temperature under visible-light irradiation. The combination of an iridium photocatalyst with ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents allowed the decarboxylative alkynylation of carboxylic acids in good yields under mild conditions. The method could be applied to silyl-, aryl-, and alkyl- substituted alkynes. It was particularly successful in the case of alpha-amino and alpha-oxo acids derived from biomass

    A new method for the cyanation of thiols and disulfides using cyanobenziodoxol(on)e hypervalent iodine reagents is described. Both aliphatic and aromatic thiocyanates can be accessed in good yields in a few minutes at room temperature starting from a broad range of thiols with high chemioselectivity. The complete conversion of disulfides to thiocyanates was also possible. Preliminary computational studies indicated a low energy concerted transition state for the cyanation of the thiolate anion or radical. The developed thiocyanate synthesis has broad potential for various applications in synthetic chemistry, chemical biology and materials science

    Divergent Access to (1,1) and (1,2)-Azidolactones from Alkenes using Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

    A versatile synthesis of azidolactones through azidation and cyclization of carboxylic acids onto alkenes has been developed. Based on either photoredox or palladium catalysis, (1,1) and (1,2) azido lactones can be selectively synthesized. The choice of catalyst and benziodoxol (on)e reagent serving as azide source was essential to initiate either a radical or Lewis acid mediated process with divergent outcome. These transformations were carried out under mild conditions using a low catalyst loading and gave access to a large scope of azido lactones

    Ce projet scientifique concerne le développement de nouvelles méthodes efficaces de fonctionnalisation d’imines par des procédés organocatalysés et photocatalysésDans un premier temps la réaction photocatalysée d’alkylation d’énamines en conditions douces à été étudiée. L’utilisation de photocatalyseurs sous forme de complexes organométalliques d’Iridium a permis de réaliser la double fonctionnalisation d’ènecarbamates, permettant ainsi d’obtenir des substituts d’imines hautement substitués. Ce procédé permet de s’affranchir de l’utilisation de métaux lourds et ne nécessite qu’une activation par la lumière visible pour fonctionner. Cette transformation radicalaire éco-compatible à par la suite été soumise à une étude mécanistique approfondie. Dans une deuxième partie, la réaction d’aza-Friedel-Crafts organocatalysée par des acides de Brønsted chiraux à été étudiée. Dans cette réaction, la bi-fonctionnalité des acides chiraux dérivés du BINOL a été exploitée. Elle permet l’addition énantiosélective d’une grande variété d’indoles substitués sur des acyl-pyrrolidinones générées in situ. Les composés synthétisés présentent des structures bioactives intéressantes notamment sur le système nerveux central.Enfin, la première réaction de Povarov asymétrique impliquant des amino-hétérocycles comme précurseurs de 2-azadiènes à été décrite. Cette étude s’appuie sur des travaux antérieurs du laboratoire et permet la synthèse des analogues hétérocycliques de tétrahydroquinoléines précédemment décrites. Le procédé met en jeu une séquence multicomposants réduction/Povarov catalysée par des acides phosphoriques chiraux et permet l’accès rapide à une large bibliothèque d’analogues.The aim of this study is the development of new methodologies for imines functionalization by organocatalysed and photocatalysed processes.First, a photocatalysed alkylation reaction of enecarbamates have been described. The use of organometallic Iridium complexes allowed the double functionalization of enecarbamates leading to highly substituted imines surrogates. This process is a green alternative to the use of heavy metals and only needs visible light as an renewable energy source to proceed. This environment-friendly radical transformation has been submitted to mechanistic study.In a second part, an aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction organocatalysed by chiral Brønsted acid has been studied. The bi-fonctionnality of chiral phosphoric acids has been advantageously used to perform the Friedel-Crafts addition of various substituted indole to in situ generated acyl-iminium ions. The compounds obtained by this methodology are showing interesting biological activities on central nervous system. Finally, the first enantioselective Povarov reaction involving amino-heterocycles as 2-azadienes precursors has been reported. This reaction is based on previous lab reports and the synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline analogues has been described. The multicomponent reduction/Povarov reaction sequence catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acids derived gives a rapid access to a wide library of bioactives analogues

    Straightforward Entry toward Highly Substituted 2,3-Dihydrobenz[b]oxepines by Ring Expansion of Benzopyryliums with Donor-Acceptor Diazo Compounds

    No full text
    International audienceYlide-type reactivity of diazo compounds is exploited in a new way to prepare benzo[b]oxepines thanks to the formation of three chemical bonds and two contiguous and highly substituted stereocenters in a single pot. This cationic reaction cascade first involves addition of a donor–acceptor-substituted diazo compound to a benzopyrylium. Selective 1,2 migration of the endocyclic C–C bond then results in a ring-expansion and generates a second oxocarbenium that is trapped by a nucleophile added sequentially

    No full text
    International audienceA combination of DIBAL-H and Cp2ZrCl2 is shown to promote the regioselective cleavage of primary acetates on a broad scope of substrates, ranging from carbohydrates to terpene derivatives, with a high tolerance toward protecting groups and numerous functionalities found in natural products and bioactive compounds. Apart from providing highly valuable building blocks in only two steps from biosourced raw materials, this selective de-O-acetylation should also be strongly helpful to solve selectivity issues in organic synthesis

    Environmental Metabolomics Promises and Achievements in the Field of Aquatic Ecotoxicology: Viewed through the Pharmaceutical Lens

    No full text
    International audienceScientists often set ambitious targets using environmental metabolomics to address challenging ecotoxicological issues. This promising approach has a high potential to elucidate the mechanisms of action (MeOAs) of contaminants (in hazard assessments) and to develop biomarkers (in environmental biomonitoring). However, metabolomics fingerprints often involve a complex mixture of molecular effects that are hard to link to a specific MeOA (if detected in the analytical conditions used). Given these promises and limitations, here we propose an updated review on the achievements of this approach. Metabolomics-based studies conducted on the effects of pharmaceutical active compounds in aquatic organisms provide a relevant means to review the achievements of this approach, as prior knowledge about the MeOA of these molecules could help overcome some shortcomings. This review highlighted that current metabolomics advances have enabled more accurate MeOA assessment, especially when combined with other omics approaches. The combination of metabolomics with other measured biological endpoints has also turned out to be an efficient way to link molecular effects to (sub)-individual adverse outcomes, thereby paving the way to the construction of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs). Here, we also discuss the importance of determining MeOA as a key strategy in the identification of MeOA-specific biomarkers for biomonitoring. We have put forward some recommendations to take full advantage of environmental metabolomics and thus help fulfil these promises
