The results of the title reaction have furnished proofs against a rearrangement of the carbon-atom skeleton and for a nitro group shift in the relevant nucleophilic substitution.
Carbon Nano-onions: Potassium Intercalation and Reductive Covalent Functionalization
2021
Herein we report the synthesis of covalently functionalized carbon nano-onions (CNOs) via a reductive approach using unprecedented alkali-metal CNO intercalation compounds. For the first time, an in situ Raman study of the controlled intercalation process with potassium has been carried out revealing a Fano resonance in highly doped CNOs. The intercalation was further confirmed by electron energy loss spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Moreover, the experimental results have been rationalized with DFT calculations. Covalently functionalized CNO derivatives were synthesized by using phenyl iodide and n-hexyl iodide as electrophiles in model nucleophilic substitution reactions. The functiona…
Halogen‐Imparted Reactivity in Lithium Carbenoid Mediated Homologations of Imine Surrogates: Direct Assembly of bis‐Trifluoromethyl‐β‐Diketiminates a…
2020
The selective formal insertion (homologation) of a carbon unit bridging the two trifluoroacetamidoyl chlorides (TFAICs) units is reported. The tactic is levered on a highly chemoselective homologation-metalation-acyl nucleophilic substitution sequence which precisely enables to assemble novel trifluoromethylated β-diketiminates within a single synthetic operation. Unlike previous homologations conducted with LiCH2Cl furnishing aziridines, herein we exploit the unique capability of iodomethyllithium to act contemporaneously as a C1 source (homologating effect) and metalating agent. The mechanistic rationale grounded on experimental evidences supports the hypothesized proposal and, the struct…
Diastereoselective synthesis of 2-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)piperazines as building blocks for drug discovery.
2014
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-2-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)piperazines is described. It involved, as the key step, a diastereoselective nucleophilic addition of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF3) to alpha-amino sulfinylimines bearing Ellman's auxiliary. This methodology allows an entry into hitherto unknown trifluoromethylated and stereochemically defined piperazines, key scaffold components in medicinal chemistry.
Explicit Solvation Matters: Performance of QM/MM Solvation Models in Nucleophilic Addition
2018
Nucleophilic addition onto a carbonyl moiety is strongly affected by solvent, and correctly simulating this solvent effect is often beyond the capability of single-scale quantum mechanical (QM) models. This work explores multiscale approaches for the description of the reversible and highly solvent-sensitive nucleophilic N|···C=O bond formation in an Me2N–(CH2)3–CH=O molecule. In the first stage of this work, we rigorously compare and test four recent quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) explicit solvation models, employing a QM description of water molecules in spherical regions around both the oxygen and the nitrogen atom of the solute. The accuracy of the models is benchmarked…
Synthesis of new asymmetric xanthene dyes via catalyst-free SNAr with sulfur nucleophiles
2014
Addition of a single functional handle to the tricyclic moiety of fluorescein results in asymmetric xanthene dyes. Our synthesis of a new class of asymmetric xanthenes proceeds via an unusual SNAr with sulfur nucleophiles on electron rich aromatic xanthenes scaffolds in the absence of a metal catalyst. The resulting 3'-thioethers exhibit high photostability and are conveniently converted into reactive dyes for macromolecule labelling.

Bis-organosilane applications and synthesis
2017
Tutkielman kirjallisuusosuudessa perehdytään organofunktionaalisiin silaaneihin. Näitä yhdisteitä käytetään kytkentäaineina komposiittien valmistuksessa sekä monessa muussa sovelluksessa, kuten hydrofobisten ja hydrofiilisten pintojen muodostamiseen, kuivausaineina, ulkoisena elektroniluovuttajana polymeroinnissa, sekä kosteuskovettuvien silaanimodifioitujenpolymeeriliimojen (SMP) kovettumisreaktiossa. Silaanien kosteuskovettuminen johtuu pii-atomiin (Si) sitoutuneiden ryhmien hydrolysoitumisesta kosteuden vaikutuksesta, jolloin syntyy silanoli-ryhmiä (Si-OH), jotka voivat edelleen kondensoitua keskenään muodostaen siloksaanisidoksia (Si-O-Si) tai sidoksia pintojen hydroksyyliryhmien kanssa…
Rapid Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Sulforhodamines Through Nucleophilic Amination of a Monobrominated Sulfoxanthene Dye
2014
A transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of N-substituted unsymmetrical sulforhodamine fluorophores from an unusual monobrominated sulfoxanthene dye and primary or secondary amines by direct SNAr-type reactions is presented. The simplicity and effectiveness of this “postamination” procedure were demonstrated through the rapid preparation of a library of multifunctional red-emitting rhodamine analogues. Some of these analogues are equipped with a reactive handle and retain the two water-solubilizing sulfonic acid moieties of the starting halogenated derivative; this makes them ideal candidates for biolabeling applications. The potential utility of this expeditious strategy to finely …
Insights into the Synthesis and the Solution Behavior ofmeso-Aryloxy- and Alkoxy-Substituted Porphyrins
2015
meso-RO-appended (R = alkyl, aryl) porphyrins bearing one or two OR substituents at the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle were synthesized in good yields from 5,15-dibromo-10,20-diphenylporphyrins 2H(Br2DPP), Ni(Br2DPP) and Zn(Br2DPP) using an SNAr reaction. By varying the solvent, the base, the temperature, and the time of the reaction, the optimum conditions were established, and the selective introduction of one or two meso-RO substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle was achieved. Moreover, monofunctionalization of Ni(Br2DPP) according to an SNAr reaction was used as a key step for the synthesis of rarely explored unsymmetrical porphyrinyl alkyl ethers. 1H NMR studies of these ethers in CD…
