My thesis works have consisted in elaborating new catalysts, in agreement with the “green chemistry” principles, to promote the catalysis of asymmetric oxygenation of thioethers and alkenes. These new catalysts are bio-inorganic hybrids which result from the association of a protein and an iron catalyst. Our choice for the protein have consisted of the bacterial protein NikA which is able to bind the Fe(EDTA) complex. Then, we have synthesized iron complexes containing N2Py2 ligands (two amine and two pyridine moieties), a favorable environment for metal-based chemistry. On the amino moieties, were added one or two carboxyle groups to allow the recognition with NikA. The catalytic studies of these complexes in alkenes and thioethers oxidati...
