Les complexes organométalliques de métaux alcalino-terreux lourds (Ca, Sr, Ba), ont émergé ces deux dernières décennies en tant que précatalyseurs efficaces, biocompatibles et disponibles à bas coûts pour des réactions d'hydroélémention d'oléfine ou de polymérisation de cycloesters. Cette thèse décrit la synthèse de complexes de métaux du groupe 2 (Ca, Sr, Ba) et leur utilisation en catalyse de couplage déshydrogénant N-H/H-Si. Le précatalyseur Ba[CH(SiMe3)2]2(THF)3 s'est montré le plus efficace pour le couplage d'amines avec des hydrosilanes, présentant une activité catalytique parmi les plus élevées à ce jour (TOF jusqu' 3600 h-1 ; TON jusqu'à 396). La combinaison de résultats théoriques (calculs DFT en collaboration avec le Dr. Sven Tobisch) et expérimentaux ont permis de comprendre les mécanismes opératoires de ces réactions. Le développement de procédés de synthèse pour la production d'oligo- ou polysilazanes a été mené par l'intermédiaire de ces couplages déshydrogénants. Des structures macromoléculaires linéaires ou cycliques de type polycarbosilazane, présentant de nombreuses applications en chimie des matériaux, ont notamment été synthétisées par polycondensation catalysée par Ba[CH(SiMe3)2]2(THF)3. Dans un dernier temps, la synthèse de complexes innovants de métaux des groupes 12 (Zn, Cd, Hg) et 14 (Pb) a été effectuée en collaboration avec l'équipe du Pr. Silvestru de l'université de Babeş-Bolyai (Cluj-Napoca, Roumanie). / In the past two decades, heavier alkaline-earth (Ca, Sr, Ba) complexes have emerged as highly efficient and biocompatible precatalyst for hydroelementation or polymerisation reactions. This PhD thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of heavier alkaline-earth complexes and their applications as precatalyst for cross-dehydrocoupling of hydrosilanes and amines. The homoleptic precatalyst Ba[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂(THF)3 displayed high catalytic activity (TOF up to 3600 h⁻¹ ; TON up to 396), with excellent chemoselectivity in reaction of (di)amines with (di)hydrosilanes. Combination of experimental and DFT investigations (collaboration with Dr. Sven Tobisch) revealed the reactions proceed by nucleophilic attack of a metal amide at the incoming silane and subsequent turnover-limiting hydrogen transfer to the metal center. Development of synthesis of oligo- and polysilazanes was performed using our best barium precatalysts. Cyclic or linear polycarbosilazanes (Mw up to 10 000 g.mol⁻¹) were also produced by fast and controlled barium-catalyzed N-H/H-Si polycondensation. In a collaboration with Prof. Silvestru from Babeş-Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca, Roumanie), synthesis of interesting zinc, cadmium, mercury and lead complexes were achieved in complement of this work.

Ce travail consiste en l'étude théorique DFT des mécanismes de couplage. Le couplage déshydrogénant de stannanes implique la formation in situ d'un stannylène, formation possible grâce à l'inertie de la paire libre et au caractère acide de Lewis des stannylènes. Le couplage entre un carboxylate aromatique et un arène Ar-H commence par la décarboxylation en 2 étapes (isomérisation et désinsertion de CO2) sur un complexe de Pd(II) et se poursuit par une étape de CMD. Celle-ci est facilitée par la présence de fluors en ortho sur Ar-H essentiellement en raison du renforcement de la liaison M-C qu'ils induisent. Le couplage entre un arène et un alcyne catalysé par Ni(0)L présente une étape originale de transfert d'hydrogène de l'arène sur l'alcyne concerté avec la création de deux liaisons M-C (M-aryl et M-vinyl). Cette étape est à nouveau associée à une barrière d'activation plus basse en présence de fluors sur l'arène. L'hydroboration avec ouverture de cycle d'alkylidenecyclopropane en présence de Rh(I) nécessite la création de deux sites vacants pour que l'étape souhaitée d'ouverture de cycle soit favorisée par rapport à une étape d'élimination réductrice C-B. / This work is a theoretical study with DFT method of coupling reactions. The dehydrogenating coupling of stannanes proceeds via the formation of stannylene. This is made possible because of the chemical inertness of the lone pair and the Lewis acid character of stannylene. Coupling an aromatic carboxylate and an arene Ar-H on a Pd(II) complex is initiated by a 2-step reaction (isomerization and decarboxylation). The CMD reaction that follows is facilitated by ortho fluorine subtituents on the arene ArH because of the strengthening of the resulting Pd-C bond. The coupling between an arene and an alkyne by a Ni(0)L catalyst starts by an unusual hydrogen transfer from the arene to the alkyne, concerted with the formation of two NiC (aryl and vinyl) bonds. The energy barrier of this elementary step is lowered by fluorine subtituents on the arene. The hydroboration with ring opening of alkylidenecyclopropane in presence of Rh(I) complex is feasible only with two empty coordination sites during the key ring-opening step. Under these conditions, the ring opening is favored over the reductive elimination C-B.

Realizamos estudos mecanísticos dessa reação, utilizando ESI-MS, sendo possível, interceptar e caracterizar, em fase gasosa, intermediários dessa reação. Outro estudo nos permitiu re-avaliar o comportamento de (tio)uréias como catalisadores desta reação. Neste trabalho, propomos um mecanismo com a participação de (tio)uréias na reação de MBH. Na segunda parte deste trabalho de tese visamos a utilização de adutos de MBH na síntese de moléculas de interesse biológico. Sendo assim, realizamos a síntese de esqueletos 4-fluoroquinolônicos. Para tal, utilizamos adutos de MBH derivados do o-nitrobenzaldeído. Em particular, estudamos o mecanismo de uma etapa desta síntese, uma ciclização em TFA. Neste estudo, um novo intermediário chave foi caracterizado por ESI-MS. Após 4 etapas sequenciais preparamos a Norfloxacina. Outro alvo foi a síntese enantiosseletiva de um análogo do DFP. Neste trabalho, utilizamos um aduto de MBH que após 3 etapas obtivemos um álcool alílico derivado, que foi submetido às condições de epoxidação de Sharpless. Estes epóxidos foram submetidos a uma reação de abertura de anel e oxidação benzílica mediada por Pd(II). Após 2 etapas, concluímos a síntese dos dois enantiômeros análogos do DFP. A última parte deste trabalho consistiu no emprego do rearranjo de Curtius em adutos de MBH onde preparamos aciloínas, que ao serem tratadas com diferentes aminas, forneceram 1,2-amino-alcoóis em altas seletividades. A primeira estratégia foi aplicada na síntese do (+/-)-bupropion e a segunda estratégia permitiu a síntese diastereosseletiva da (+/-)-espisulosina / Abstract: This work explored the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction. Mechanistic aspects are explored as well as the uses of its adducts as substrates for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Using ESI-MS, we describe mechanistic studies of this reaction, intercepted and characterized intermediates under gas phase conditions. Using the same method, we re-evaluated the behavior of (thio)ureas as organocatalysts in the MBH reaction. In this work we propose a new mechanistic view for the role of (thio)ureas as Brønsted-acid catalysts in the MBH reaction. In the second part of this thesis, we used the MBH adducts to prepare substances with pharmaceutical properties. Thus, we synthesized a 4- fluorquinolone skeleton. As starting materials, we used MBH adducts from onitrobenzaldehyde. In particular, we studied one step of this synthesis, an intramolecular cyclization in presence of TFA. We used ESI-MS to intercept and characterize a new key intermediate for this reaction. After 4 steps, the antibiotic Norfloxacine was prepared. We also propose the enantioselective synthesis of DFP (5,5-dimethyl-3-(2- propoxy)-4-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-2-(5H)-furanone) analogues. We used a MBH adduct as a starting material, and after 3 steps we prepared an allylic alcohol derivative. This compound was then used in the asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation methodology. In the final steps, we used palladium to catalyze stereoselective ring opening and a sequential benzylic oxidation. After 2 steps, we concluded the synthesis of both enantiomers of the DFP analogues. In the last part of this work, we used the Curtius rearrangement on Morita- Baylis-Hillman adducts to prepare acyloins. They were treated with different types of amines to give diastereoselective 1,2-aminoalcohols. The first strategy was applied in the synthesis of the (+/-)-bupropion and the second was used in the diastereoselective synthesis of the (+/-)-spisulosine / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

A new free radical chain process for the allylation of hydrocarbons and some other substrates utilizing substituted allyl bromides (R-H + C=C-C-Br -> R-C-C=C + HBr) has been developed. Good to excellent yields were observed in all cases. Kinetic chain measurements and competition experiments were performed in order to elucidate the mechanism of the reaction. Overall, the results are consistent with a free radical chain process with bromine atom as the chain carrier. Substitution effects on the reactivity of the allyl bromides (CH2=C(Z)CH2Br) and their influence on the overall reaction rate were studied by conducting several competition experiments. The relative rate constants for addition of benzyl radical to CH2=C(Z)CH2Br are: Z=CN(180), COOEt(110), Ph(65), H(1.0). The trend of electronegativity/reactivity of these reactions was very similar to that reported for addition of benzyl radical to substituted alkenes. Other than alkyl aromatics (PhCH3, PhCH(CH3)2), other substrates (i.e., 2- propanol, phenyl cyclopropane) were also tested for this allylation reaction. The magnitude and scope of these reactions, and their synthetic utility is discussed. / Ph. D.

Die Bildungsmechanismen von Metalloxiden, speziell der Eisen- und Aluminiumoxide, im wässrigen Medium sind aufgrund der Vielzahl kurzlebiger Intermediate und komplexen Reaktionspfaden nur wenig verstanden. Ein Verständnis der Reaktionsmechanismen kann jedoch mit Hilfe von zeitaufgelösten Untersuchungen wesentlich vertieft werden. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Verwendung von zeitaufgelösten Untersuchungen, die größtenteils auf röntgenbasierenden Analyseverfahren beruhen, um die intermediären Phasen direkt unter realistischen Bedingungen zu identifizieren. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit erfolgte die Untersuchung der Reaktionsmechanismen von Eisenoxiden und -oxidhydroxiden direkt in einer stabilisator-unterstützten Synthese. Nach einer Optimierung der instrumentellen Aufbauten, wurden erstmals zeitaufgelöste, simultane Röntgenkleinwinkelstreu- und Röntgenabsorptionsspektroskopie-Experimente an einem Eisenoxid-System durchgeführt, indem ein akustischer Levitator als Probenhalter verwendet wurde. Als Unterstützung wurden weitere analytische Methoden verwendet, um ein Gesamtbild über die intermediären Spezies in den drei vorliegenden Reaktionsmechanismen zu erhalten. Mit Hilfe von Röntgenphotoelektronenspektroskopie in Kombination mit einem Mikrojet konnten Spezies, wie Eisen-oxo-Oligomere, als Intermediate in den frühen Stadien des Hydrolyseprozesses von Akaganeit-Nanopartikeln detektiert werden. Das erste Photoelektronenspektrum für diese Spezies konnte gezeigt werden. Im letzten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden zeitaufgelöste Untersuchungen an einem Aluminiumoxo- System durchgeführt. Es gelang erstmals durch die Kombination von Weitwinkelstreuexperimenten mit dem akustischen Levitator, die Kristallisation des Al13-Clusters in einer sulfathaltigen-Lösung als Aluminiumsulfat-Cluster Al13SO4 in situ zu detektieren. / The formation mechanisms of metal oxides, especially iron and aluminium oxides, in aqueous media are poorly understood due to the large number of short-lived intermediates and complex reaction paths. However, an understanding of the reaction mechanisms can be considerably deepened with the help of time-resolved investigations. This work focuses on the use of time-resolved investigations, which rest largely on X-ray based analysis techniques, to identify the intermediate phases directly under realistic conditions. In the first part of this work, the reaction mechanisms of iron oxides and iron oxide hydroxides were investigated directly in a stabilizer-assisted synthesis. Time-resolved, simultaneous small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments were performed on an iron oxide system for the first time using an acoustic levitator as sample holder after the optimisation of the instrumental set-ups. Further analytical methods were used to obtain detailed insights of the intermediate species in the three reaction mechanisms. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with a microjet, species such as iron oxo oligomers could be detected as intermediates in the early stages of the hydrolysis process of Akaganeit nanoparticles. The first photoelectron spectrum for this species could be shown. In the last part of this work, time-resolved investigations were carried out on an aluminium oxo system. In situ-investigations were possible by combining wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments with the acoustic levitator. For the first time it was possible to detect the early stage crystallization of the Al13 cluster in a sulfate-containing solution as an aluminum sulfate cluster Al13SO4 directly in solution.

Un des principaux défis lors de l'élaboration des catalyseurs adéquats pour le procédé de déparaffinage catalytique (hydroisomérisation) est de maximiser le rendement en isomères et l'activité du catalyseur, tout en maintenant une faible sélectivité en produits de craquage. En effet, des catalyseurs avec sélectivité de forme à base de zéolithes à taille de pore intermédiaire, par exemple Pt/ZSM-22, sont sélectives en isomères, tandis que les zéolithes à large pore sont plus actifs, mais moins sélectif. L'objectif principal de cette thèse était, alors, d’étudier et de développer un catalyseur à la fois actif et sélectif en isomères. Deux études parallèles ont été realisées: la première basée sur l'impact de la proximité entre les sites actifs sur la réaction (Part I), et la seconde, portant sur le développement d'un catalyseur d'hydroisomérisation de haute performance en utilisant des nanocristaux de zéolithe BEA comme support acide (Part II). La participation de l’épandage d’hydrogène (Hsp) sur le mécanisme de la réaction d'hydroisomérisation a été démontrée. En effet, lorsque les sites actifs sont proches, les espèces Hsp diffusent au voisinage des sites acides provocant l'hydrogénation directe des ions carbénium. Un mécanisme de réaction a, alors, été proposé utilisant ce phénomène comme une alternative au mécanisme classique proposé par Weisz, où la réaction d'hydrogénation a lieu uniquement sur les sites métalliques. Ce phénomène justifie l'activité et la sélectivité plus élevées observées sur les catalyseurs, où les sites actifs sont proches. Sur la deuxième partie de ce manuscrit, des nanocristaux de zéolithe BEA ont été utilisés pour développer un catalyseur d’hy / One of the main challenges when developing adequate catalysts for the catalytic dewaxing process (hydroisomerization) is to maximize the isomerization products yield and the catalyst activity, while maintaining a low selectivity towards light cracking products. Indeed, shape selective catalysts based on medium pore zeolites, e.g. Pt/ZSM-22, were proven to produce high yields of isomerization products, whereas larger pore zeolites were more active but less selective. The main objective of this thesis was, then, to study and develop a catalyst with both high activity and selectivity towards the production of isomerization products. For that two parallel studies were made: the first based on the impact of the proximity between the active sites on the reaction (Part I); and the second, focused on the development of a high performance hydroisomerization catalyst using BEA zeolite nanocrystals as an acid support (Part II). The participation of the spilt-over hydrogen (Hsp) species on the hydroisomerization reaction mechanism played a major role on the study performed on the first part of this manuscript. Indeed, when the active sites were near enough the Hsp species were able to diffuse into the vicinity of the acid sites promoting the direct hydrogenation of the carbenium ions. Due to this fact, a reaction mechanism was proposed using this reaction as an alternative to the classical mechanism proposed by Weisz, where the hydrogenation reaction takes place on the metallic sites. This phenomenon justified the higher activity and selectivity observed on the catalysts where the active sites were sideby side. On the second part of this manuscript nanocrystals of BEA zeolite were

No presente trabalho foram realizados estudos de regiosseletividade das reações de abertura de 2,3-epoxipropanoato de etila (1) utilizando diferentes nucleófilos de selênio e algumas dessas reações foram desenvolvidas com a adição do ácido de Lewis trifluoreto de boro dietil éter (BF3·Et2O). A abertura desse oxirano ao utilizar os nucleófilos MeSeMgCl e MeSeLi-BF3·Et2O ocorreu seletivamente no Carbono C-3 formando o composto de interesse (3-metilseleno 2-hidroxipropanoato de etila), já ao utilizar MeSeLi (em ausência ácido de Lewis) a abertura procedeu-se seletivamente no carbono C-2 formando 2-metilseleno-3-hidroxipropanoato de etila. A reação com o nucleófilo (Na[PhSeB(OEt)3]) levou à mistura desses regioisômeros. O ácido de Lewis BF3·Et2O em presença do selenolato levou a inversão de regiosseletividade da reação de abertura do epóxido 1 e a razão estequiométrica de BF3·Et2O adicionada ao meio reacional correspondeu, proporcionalmente, a porcentagem de obtenção do produto de abertura em C-3 (Tabela 1). Os resultados obtidos sugeriram que BF3·Et2O altera a nucleofilicidade do selenolato (RMN de 77Se) a partir de uma interação selênio-boro. A formação da ligação Se-B pode ocorrer com ou sem a liberação de fluoreto e esse mecanismo foi investigado por meio do emprego de uma sonda fluorescente seletiva desse haleto. O mecanismo dessas reações também foram investigados por cálculos teóricos, os quais mostram-se totalmente coerentes com os resultados experimentais. / In the present work was studied reactions of regioselective opening of 2,3-epoxyester using different selenolatos and some of this reactions were developed by adding Lewis acid BF3·Et2O. The opening reaction of this oxirane using the nucleofilms MeSeMgCl and MeSeLi-BF3·Et2O occurred selectively in carbon C-3 forming the compound of interest (ethyl 3-methylselene 2-hydroxypropanoato of ethyl), already using MeSeLi (in Lewis acid absence) the reaction was selectively on C-2 carbon to form ethyl 2-methylselene-3-hydroxypropanoate. The reaction with the nucleophile (Na[PhSeB(OEt)3]) formed a mixing of these regioisomers. The Lewis acid BF3·Et2O in presence of selenolate reverses the regioselectivity of opening epoxide (1) reaction and the stoichiometric value of BF3·Et2O added in the reaction corresponded proportionally with the percentage of C-3 product (Table 1). The results suggested that BF3·Et2O alters the nucleophilicity of selenolate (77Se NMR) from a selenium-boron interaction. Se-B bond formation may occur with or without fluoride release and this mechanism has been investigated by the use of a selective fluorescent probe of that halide. The mechanism of these reactions was also investigated by theoretical calculations, which are fully consistent with the experimental results.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Reaktionen von Nitrenen und Dinitrenen, die durch die Photolyse ihrer aromatischen Azide und Bisazide in einer Novolakmatrix generiert wurden. Ein Reaktionsmechanismus wird vorgestellt. Eine Reihe von aromatischen Aziden und Bisaziden wurden synthetisiert und spektroskopisch charakterisiert. Die Vergrößerung des konjugierten -Systems im Molekül durch die Einführung entsprechender Gruppen zwischen den beiden Phenylringen zeigt sich in der bathochromen Verschiebung der langwelligsten Absorptionsbande zur i-Linie (365 nm) der Quecksilberbestrahlungsquelle. Gleichzeitig wird die Quantenausbeute der Photolyse der Azidgruppen in ein Nitren unter Abspaltung von molekularem Stickstoff reduziert. Novolakdimere und Trimere wurden als Modellverbindungen für ein Novolak mit geringem Molekulargewicht synthetisiert. Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen dieser Oligomere wurden durch den Einsatz von spektroskopischen und chromatographischen Methoden aufgestellt. Die Photolyse aller untersuchten Bisazide erfolgt ausschließlich biphotonisch, d.h. die Abspaltung der beiden Stickstoffmoleküle erfolgt sequentiell durch die Absorption von zwei Photonen. Die Hauptreaktionsprodukte der in der Novolakmatrix photolytisch generierten Nitrene sind erstens, die primären Amine Aminoazid und Diamin. Zweitens, entstehen sekundäre Amine durch die H-Abstraktion der Nitrene an den Methylenbrücken vom Novolakoligomer und der anschließenden Rekombination der gebildeten Imino- und Kohlenstoffradikale. Aus der Wasserstoffabstraktion der Nitrene an den Hydroxygruppen vom Novolak resultiert die Bildung von Chinoniminderivaten. Die Rekombination von Oligomerradikalen führt zu einem Novolak mit erhöhtem Molekulargewicht. Durch die Anwendung von chromatographischen und spektroskopischen Methoden und der Synthese von Modellverbindungen wurde sowohl die Bildung der Aminoazide in der photochemischen Reaktion der Bisazide, als auch die Reaktion der Nitrene an den Hydroxygruppen des Novolakes erstmalig bewiesen. / In this thesis experimental investigations of the reactions of aromatic nitrenes and bisnitrenes generated by photolysis of azides and bisazides in a novolak matrix are presented and a reaction mechanism is proposed. Various bisazides and aminoazides were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic methods. The extension of the conjugated -system in the molecules attained by introducing appropriate linkage groups between the two phenyl rings is reflected by a bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum towards the i-line (365 nm) of the mercury lamp. At the same time the quantum yield of the photolysis of the azido group leading to a nitrene by extrusion of molecular nitrogen (N2) is reduced. Novolak dimers and trimers used as model compounds for low molecular weight novolaks were synthesized. The relationship between structure and properties of these oligomers was established by means of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. The photolysis of all investigated bisazides exclusively proceeds by a biphotonic mechanism, i.e. the two nitrogen molecules are sequentially extruded by absorption of two photons. Main reaction products of the photochemically generated nitrenes in the novolak matrix are firstly, the corresponding primary amines, aminoazides and diamines. Secondly, secondary amines are formed by hydrogen abstraction of the nitrenes from the methylene bridges and subsequent recombination of the formed imino radical and the carbon radical. The hydrogen abstraction from the hydroxy group of the novolak oligomers results in the formation of quinonimine derivatives. Recombination of the polymer radicals leads to novolaks with increased molecular weight. Applying chromatographic methods and synthesizing model compounds, the formation of aminoazides in the photochemical reaction of bisazides and the reaction of the nitrenes with the hydroxy group of the novolak were evidenced for the first time.

Com o aumento da consciência global sobre os riscos do Aquecimento do Planeta e de suas possíveis causas ficou claro que é necessário desenvolver ou adaptar processos industriais de maneira a aproveitar dejetos como o CO2. Dentre as formas de se aproveitar o CO2, destaca-se a ciclo-adição aos epóxidos, com a formação de ciclocarbonatos. A reação é tecnologicamente interessante, pois ciclocarbonatos possuem diversas aplicações como solventes polares apróticos, eletrólitos e matéria prima para compostos como purinas, carbamatos, glicóis, policarbonato e outros. Para que a reação ocorra em tempo e condições viáveis, há a necessidade de se trabalhar com catalisadores. Foram reportados muitos catalisadores ao longo dos anos. Dentre os catalisadores mais comumente utilizados, destacam-se os sais orgânicos. Porém o estudo sobre modelos cinéticos e mecanismo de reação ainda carecem de mais atenção. Desta forma este trabalho propõe-se a estudar esta parte, através de experimentos cinéticos, modelos teóricos e cálculos de química quântica. Para isto escolheu-se estudar a ação catalítica do brometo de 1-propil-4-azo-1-azôniobiciclo[2,2,2]octano (P-DABCO) frente a um catalisador bem descrito na literatura, o brometo de tetrapropilamônio (TPA). / Nowadays mankind are becoming more aware about Global Warming risks and its possible causes. With that in mind, it is necessary to develop or to adapt industrial processes to use some wastes like CO2. One of the best strategies to utilize CO2 is to convert it to cyclic carbonate through cyclic addition reaction to epoxides. This reaction is important because cyclic carbonates have other useful applications. For example, they can be used as polar aprotic solvents, electrolytes and as starting material for other compounds like purine, carbamates, glycols, polycarbonate, among others. However, the cyclic addition reaction must be catalyzed so as to get the desired product in short possible time and under soft conditions. Many catalysts have been reported in the literature that can be used for the cyclic addition reaction, with the organic salts being very common ones. Most of these reports focus on the efficiency of the catalyst and little attention has been paid to the reaction kinetics models and reaction mechanisms. Thus, we intend to study this part. For this purpose, we will do kinetics experiments, theoretical models and quantum chemistry calculation. The 1-alkyl-4-aza-1-azaniabicyclo[2.2.2]octyl bromide was chosen to this work and will be compared with tetrapropylammonium bromide that is known in the literature.
