The LCMCE aims to develop a sustainable method for the reductive functionalization of carbonyl derivatives with olefins via electrochemistry. Traditional redox processes in organic synthesis often rely on thermochemical methods using stoichiometric oxidants or reductants and produce waste products. The electrification of these processes will improve their atom- and energy economy. The novelty of this project lies in the generation of 'metal-hydride' catalytic species by cathodic reduction of organometallic complexes in the presence of protons rather than by adding chemical reductants, as described in the literature. Inserting an alkene function into the metal-hydride bond will lead to the formation of reactive intermediates for coupling with electrophilic carbonyls. The substrates for this project have been selected to provide rapid proof of concept and allow the study of more ambitious reactivities, including carboxylation reactions in which CO2 is the electrophile. Particular attention will be paid to the design of homogeneous catalysts and their synergy with electrochemical conditions to lead to active and selective species. The project will also focus on deciphering the mechanisms involved in these reactions.
