Synthèse et réactivité chimiques et électrochimiques de dérivés d'imidazoliums : vers des procédés éco-responsables
2015
This work deals with the use of electrochemistry as a tool for alternative synthesis of new azolium-based molecules.A new electrosynthesis method was developed for the synthesis of imidazolium carboxylates (masked carbenes) leading to a wide library of compounds. This approach was compared to already reported chemical syntheses. In the current context of sustainable development, bio based products have been synthesized and optimization of the process was achieved in order to reduce waste and energy consumption.The key role of the hydrogenoxalate anion was demonstrated in the synthesis of ionic liquids and/or imidazolium salts. Some of them were employed as recyclable catalysts for Fischer e…
Electrosynthesis of 3,3′,5,5’-tetramethyl-2,2′-biphenol in flow
2020
Abstract3,3′,5,5’-Tetramethyl-2,2′-biphenol is well known as an outstanding building block for ligands in transition-metal catalysis and is therefore of particular industrial interest. The electro-organic method is a powerful, sustainable, and efficient alternative to conventional synthetic approaches to obtain symmetric and non-symmetric biphenols. Here, we report the successive scale-up of the dehydrogenative anodic homocoupling of 2,4-dimethylphenol (4) from laboratory scale to the technically relevant scale in highly modular narrow gap flow electrolysis cells. The electrosynthesis was optimized in a manner that allows it to be easily adopted to different scales such as laboratory, semit…
Catalytic systems based on transition metals for the carbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate
1997
Abstract The results of an investigation on catalytic systems arising from the electrochemical activation of salts and complexes of several transition metals for the carbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate (DMC) are reported. Metals were tested as inorganic salts or complexes with ligands such as 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,6-bis (2-oxyphenyl)-2,5-diaza-1,5-hexadiene (salen), 2,4-pentanedionate (acac), triphenylphosphine (TPP) in methanol at room temperature saturated with carbon monoxide at atmospheric pressure. Best faradic yields vs DMC were observed as follows: CuCl(bipy): 84.8%; PdCl 2 (bipy): 64.0%; CoCl 2 : 26.0%; RhCl 3 : 25.0%; AgBF 4 (bipy): 10.2%; AuCl 3 : 9.4%; Cr(acac) 3 :…
Synthesis of Highly Functionalized N , N ‐Diarylamides by an Anodic C, N ‐Coupling Reaction
2019
We report an innovative, sustainable and straightforward protocol for the synthesis of N,N-diarylamides equipped with nonprotected hydroxyl groups by using electrosynthesis. The concept allows the application of various substrates furnishing diarylamides with yields up to 57 % within a single and direct electrolytic protocol. The method is thereby easy to conduct in an undivided cell with constant current conditions offering a versatile and short-cut alternative to conventional pathways.
Selective and Scalable Electrosynthesis of 2H-2-(Aryl)-benzo[d]-1,2,3-triazoles and Their N-Oxides by Using Leaded Bronze Cathodes.
2020
Abstract Electrosynthesis of 2H‐2‐(aryl)benzo[d]‐1,2,3‐triazoles and their N‐oxides from 2‐nitroazobenzene derivatives is reported. The electrolysis is conducted in a very simple undivided cell under constant current conditions with a leaded bronze cathode and a glassy carbon anode. The product distribution between 2H‐2‐(aryl)benzo[d]‐1,2,3‐triazoles and their N‐oxides can be guided by simply controlling the current density and the amount of the charge applied. The reaction tolerates several sensitive functional groups in reductive electrochemistry. The usefulness and the applicability of the synthetic method is demonstrated by a formal synthesis of an antiviral compound.

Renaissance of Electrosynthetic Methods for the Construction of Complex Molecules
2014
Current affairs: Efficient N,N dimerization by using an electric current is a recent powerful example of preparative electrosynthesis where conventional reagents fail. The general and practical nature of this method as well as other applications will breathe new life into the electroorganic synthesis of complex molecules.
Direct Metal‐ and Reagent‐Free Sulfonylation of Phenols with Sodium Sulfinates by Electrosynthesis
2019
A novel electrochemical strategy for the synthesis of aryl sulfones by direct sulfonylation of phenols with sodium sulfinates has been developed. The C,S-coupling products are of particular interest for chemical synthesis, material sciences and pharmaceutical sciences. By using this metal- and reagent-free electrochemical method, aryl and diaryl sulfones can be obtained directly in good yields. The established one-step protocol is easy to perform, scalable, inherently safe, and enables a broad scope, which is not limited by quinoid-forming substrates.
