Welcome to the “Biomolecules Synthesis and Methods” Group Website!

Our group tackles cutting-edge challenges in synthetic chemistry, exploring their potential applications in life and material sciences. Our research focuses on:

  1. Developing innovative organic reactions, with a particular emphasis on homogeneous catalysis, cycloaddition reactions, and the emerging chemistry of fluorinated groups.
  2. Achieving the total synthesis of rare and biologically active natural products.
  3. Applying synthetic chemistry to interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and physics.

 

The research group consists of four staff members, including two maîtres de conférences and two CNRS researchers, as well as a dynamic team of students passionate about organic synthesis. These students represent all levels of academic experience, ranging from undergraduate beginners to PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers. Since 2011, our group has been hosted at the Donnet Research Institute in Mulhouse. Our facilities include eight fully equipped fume hoods, a glove box, and access to a comprehensive analytical platform.

Chemistry of the SF5 substituent

In the dynamic field of pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) chemistry, the SF5-alkynes have emerged as essential, readily accessible, and modular building blocks for the construction of a wide variety of SF5-containing molecules. This polarized platform has been used to perform highly regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective transformations such as heterocycle synthesis, cycloaddition, and hydroelementation reactions. Please check our reviews and research articles to get a glimpse of the synthesis and…
