La catalyse par les métaux de transition a pris une ampleur considérable depuis quelques décennies et est devenue un outil puissant en chimie organométallique. La réaction de CH ortho fonctionnalisation, impliquant une catalyse duale palladium/norbornène, découverte à la fin des années 90, a permis une grande avancée dans le domaine des réactions multi-composantes. Elle permet d’accéder à des structures polycycliques via un mécanisme original, impliquant la formation d’un palladacycle. Elle constitue également la première réaction catalytique incluant trois états d’oxydation du palladium (0, II et IV). Dans un contexte où la chimie tend à être plus éco-compatible, nous souhaitions tirer avantage de cette réaction pour la synthèse de dibenzoazépines. Ils représentent en effet d’intéressants motifs utilisés aussi bien en organocatalyse que comme composés bioactifs, cependant les synthèses existant à ce jour ne permettent pas de diversifier la structure de ces molécules et requièrent souvent des séquences multiples étapes ou des réactifs toxiques. La synthèse de dibenzoazépines a ainsi été réalisée selon une approche à trois composants incluant une bromobenzylamine, un iodure aromatique ortho substitué et une oléfine portant un groupement électro-attracteur via une séquence de CH ortho fonctionnalisation/Heck/aza-Michael. Remarquablement, cette dernière étape présente une diastéréosélectivité totale. L’emploi de bromobenzylamine substituée racémique montre la même sélectivité grâce à un dédoublement cinétique. L’accès à un large panel de molécules, ainsi qu’aux imines correspondantes via un mécanisme de rétro-Mannich par l’emploi d’une oléfine énolisable, démontre la robustesse de la réaction d’ortho CH-fonctionnalisation. La formation de liaison carbone-carbone par les métaux de transition a été largement développée depuis quelques décennies. Cependant elle génère souvent des déchets et l’utilisation de réactifs toxiques à haute température. La catalyse photorédox connaît un vif intérêt depuis peu et a l’avantage d’utiliser la lumière comme source d’énergie couplé à une faible quantité catalytique de métal ou d’organocatalyseur. Nous avons ainsi développé une méthode de couplage biaryalique via une catalyse photorédox médiée par un complexe de ruthénium. Les précurseurs à coupler que sont les arènes diazoniums ont l’avantage de ne générer comme déchets que du diazote, et réalise une réaction de substitution homolytique aromatique sur des accepteurs aromatiques ou hétéroaromatiques. De plus elle se déroule à température ambiante en l’absence de base. Elle constitue donc une alternative pour le couplage biarylique en une chimie éco-compatible. / Catalysis by transition metal has considerably grown these decades and has become a powerful tool in organometallic chemistry. The CH ortho fonctionnalisation reaction, involving a duale palladium/norbornene catalysis, discovered at the end of the 90’s, allowed a breakthrough in the field of multi-component reactions. It provides access to polycyclic structures through an original mechanism, involving a palladacycle formation. It is the first catalytic reaction including three oxidation states of palladium (0, II and IV). In a context where the chemistry is going to be more ecocompatible, we wished taking advantage of this reaction to synthetize dibenzoazepines. They represent interesting scaffold both as organocatalysts and as bioactive compounds, however the existing synthesis don’t allow diversifying the structure of these molecules and often requiring multi-step sequences or toxic reagents. Dibenzoazepines synthesis has been realised according a three components approach from readily available reagents, a bromobenzylamine, an ortho substituted aromatic iodide and an electrowithdrawing olefin via a CH ortho fonctionnlisation/Heck/aza-Michael sequence. Remarquably, this last step presents a total diastereoselectivity. Using racemic substituted bromobenzylamine shows the same selectivity thanks to a parallel kinetic resolution-like mechanism. The access to a wide range of molecules, and the corresponding imine via a retro-Mannich mechanism using an enolisable olefin demonstrates the robustness of the ortho CH fonctionnalisation reaction.  Carbon-carbon bond formation by transition metal has been largely developped since decades. However, it often generate waste and use toxic reagent at high temperature. Photoredox catalysis is a great success recently and have the advantage to use light as energy source and small amounts of metal and organocatalyst. We have developed a method of biarylic coupling via a photoredox catalysis mediated by a ruthenium complex. Arene diazonium, the precursor coupled, have the advantage to generate diazote as waste, and realise an homolytic aromatic substitution on aromatic and heteroaromatic acceptors. Moreover, it takes place at room temperature without base. It is an alternative for the biarylic coupling and an green chemistry.

<p dir="ltr">Aromatic phosphonates and phosphine oxides are highly desirable synthetic targets used in pharmaceuticals, natural products, agrichemicals, catalysis, and materials science. While a variety of aromatic precursors have been used to access these motifs, aryl halides remain one of the most desirable coupling partners owing to their low cost, commercial availability, and regioselective reactivity. Traditional phosphonation often requires the use of harsh reductants in the presence of liquid ammonia, which are caustic and pose incredible environmental concerns. Milder, transition metal-catalyzed approaches have been developed, but can be limited by air sensitivity, cost, low reaction selectivity, and low functional group compatibility. Photoredox catalysis has been significantly advanced in the past decade in the pursuit of greener, more sustainable avenues to facilitate desirable reaction transformations under mild conditions. These methods most commonly use a dual catalytic strategy in which a metal is paired with an organocatalyst. While these approaches enable facile phosphonation of a variety of aromatic precursors, the metals and organocatalysts used are often expensive and toxic. Indeed, there remains unexplored chemical space for transition metal-free photoredox-catalyzed aryl C-P bond formations. Herein, we present a series of transition metal-free, photoredox-catalyzed approaches to the phosphonation of aryl halides. The approaches and mechanistic works will be discussed in the following order: </p><p dir="ltr">First, the discovery that 10<i>H</i>-phenothiazine (PTZ) enables the transition metal-free phosphonation of aryl halides using trialkyl phosphites will be presented. PTZ serves as a photocatalyst capable of reducing the aryl halide to access aryl radicals, which readily couple with phosphite esters. This transformation exhibits broad functional group tolerance in good to excellent yields. Then, photoredox catalysis by PTZ enables the formation of unsymmetrical aromatic phosphine oxides using triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) and aryl halides. This is the first work in which PPh₃ has been used as the starting material, and the reaction proceeds via the alkaline hydrolysis of quaternary phosphonium salts. The final work exhibits novel photocatalytic activity of <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) to activate aryl halides, form aryl radicals, and enable phosphonation. This method displays broad functional group tolerance under mild conditions and highlights its untapped synthetic utility as a photocatalyst.</p>

La catalyse photoredox en lumière visible a réussi à s'imposer comme une méthode douce et éco-compatible de formation d'espèces radicalaires, et plus particulièrement de radicaux carbonés. Bien que cette catalyse ait su prouver son efficacité pour la formation de liaisons carbone-carbone/hétéroatome, les radicaux carbonés formés sont très souvent stabilisés. A l'inverse, les alkyles bis-catécholato silicates ont montré leur capacité à engendrer des radicaux alkyles non stabilisés par photooxydation à l'aide de complexes polypyridine de métaux de transition (Ru, Ir) photoactifs en lumière visible mais aussi de photocatalyseurs organiques. Les radicaux formés peuvent ainsi être piégés par différents accepteurs radicalaires. En outre, les alkyles bis-catécholato silicates sont engagés en présence d'électrophiles comme des halogénures éthyléniques ou (hétéro)aromatiques dans des conditions de catalyse duale photoredox/nickel afin de former des liaisons C(sp2) - C(sp3). La méthodologie a été étendue au couplage C(sp3) - C(sp3) avec toutefois quelques limitations. D'autre part, une étude comparant les silicates et les " ate-complexes " de bore pour la formation de radicaux par processus d'oxydation est présentée. Enfin, des travaux prometteurs sur l'oxydation des silicates par des complexes de cuivre portant des ligands non-innocents ont été amorcés. / Photoredox catalysis in visible light has succeeded in establishing itself as a gentle and eco-compatible method of formation of radical species, and more particularly of carbon radicals. Although this catalysis has proved to be efficient for the formation of carbon-carbon/heteroatom bonds, the generated carbon centered radicals are oftenverystabilized.Conversely, bis-catecholato silicates have shown to be capable of generating alkyl radicals that are not stabilized by photooxidation using polypyridine complexes of transition metals (Ru, Ir) that are photoactive in visible light but also organic photocatalysts. The radicals formed can thus be trapped by various radical acceptors. In addition, the bis-catecholato silicates can be employed in cross-coupling reactions with alkene halides and (hetero)aromatic halides under photoredox/nickel dual catalysis conditions for the formation of C(sp2) – C(sp3) bonds. The methodology can also be extended to C(sp3) – C (sp3) with some limitations. On the other hand, a study comparing the silicates and the "ate-complex" of boron for the formation of radicals by oxidation process is presented. Finally, promising works on the oxidation of silicates by copper complexes bearing non-innocent ligands have been initiated.

Les hétérocycles constituent une des classes les plus importantes de composés chimiques. Ces motifs structuraux sont les éléments clés d’une large gamme de produits naturels possédant des activités biologiques ou thérapeutiques. Toutes ces raisons expliquent le vif intérêt suscité par le développement de nouvelles méthodes de synthèse d'hétérocycles au sein de la communauté scientifique. Avec une volonté de réduire toujours plus l'empreinte environnementale de nos recherches, notre laboratoire vise à développer de nouvelles méthodologies de synthèse efficaces plus vertes et respectueuses de l'environnement. Ainsi, mes travaux de thèse ont fait appel à deux thématiques largement étudiées au sein de notre laboratoire que sont la catalyse photorédox et l'organocatalyse. Dans une première partie, l'utilisation de la catalyse photorédox comme outils pour la synthèse et la fonctionnalisation d'hétérocycles sera détaillée. Des motifs hétérocycliques originaux ont ainsi été préparés avec de bons rendements et dans des conditions réactionnelles très douces. La deuxième partie est quant à elle consacrée à la synthèse d'hétérocycles azotés énantioenrichis grâce à des réactions énantiosélectives organocatalysées d'aza-Diels-Alder à demande inverse d'électrons. En effet, la demande toujours plus accrue en composés optiquement actifs par l'industrie chimique et pharmaceutique explique le fort engouement pour le développement de méthodes de synthèse asymétriques. Ainsi, les procédés développés fournissent de nouvelles voies d'accès à des structures hétérocycliques chirales complexes avec d'excellents résultats en termes d'efficacité mais aussi de stéréosélectivité. / Heterocycles are one of the most important classes of chemical compounds. These structural scaffolds are the key elements of a wide range of natural products with biological or therapeutic activities. As a result, a great deal of research carried out in chemistry is devoted to development of new heterocycle synthesis methods. With a desire to further reduce the environmental footprint of our research, our laboratory aims to develop new methodologies for effective synthesis, more green and environmentally friendly. Thus, my thesis works lie on two themes widely studied in our laboratory that are photoredox catalysis and organocatalysis. In the first part, the use of photoredox catalysis as an efficient tool for the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles is detailed. Original heterocyclic units have thus been prepared in good yields and under mild reaction conditions. The second part is devoted to the synthesis of enantioenriched nitrogen-containing heterocycles through organocatalyzed enantioselective inverse electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder reactions. Indeed, the increasing demand of optically pure compounds by the chemical and pharmaceutical industry explains the strong craze for the development of asymmetric synthesis methods. Thus, the developed processes provide new access routes to complex chiral heterocyclic structures with excellent results in terms of efficiency as well as stereoselectivity.

[pt] O advento da catálise fotorredox permitiu o desenvolvimento de uma série de novas reações de formação de ligação C-C utilizando luz visível e catalisadores para gerar radicais orgânicos. Isso permite que metodologias sejam desenvolvidas à temperatura ambiente e com curtos períodos de tempo. Reações de arilação, que envolvem a inserção de grupos aril, podem ser realizadas utilizando sais de diazônio como fontes de radicais arila. O objetivo dessa tese foi estudar reações de alfa-arilação de compostos carbonílicos usando catálise fotorredox. A tese é dividida em quatro capítulos, sendo o primeiro, a Introdução Geral. No segundo, foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de arilação de cumarinas, baseada na Arilação de König, para obtenção de compostos do tipo 4-(N-fenil)amino-3-fenilcumarina. Esses compostos foram obtidos em rendimentos de até 95 por cento. O mecanismo da reação foi estudado a partir de experimentos de trapeamento com TEMPO e correlação de Stern-Volmer. As cumarinas obtidas tiveram suas atividades biológicas avaliadas, e três delas mostraram-se promissoras como fármacos contra leishmaniose. Por fim, uma das cumarinas foi utilizada para a síntese do azacumestano, análogo nitrogenado do produto natural cumestano. No terceiro capítulo da tese, um estudo teórico via Teoria do Funcional da Densidade (DFT) foi realizado para estudar a alfa-arilação de enóis acetatos para obtenção de aril-cetonas. Estudos previamente realizados mostraram que essas reações têm melhor performance quando grupos retiradores de elétrons estão presentes nos sais de diazônio. O uso do modelo de Fischer-Radom permitiu verificar que efeitos polares são mais proeminentes do que efeitos entálpicos. A origem desses efeitos foi verificada como partindo de efeitos de campo e não de efeito de ressonância, uma vez que o orbital SOMO em radicais fenila é ortogonal ao sistema Pi. Finalmente, o efeito de substituintes nos enóis acetatos foi estudado a partir das correlações de Taft e Charton. Finalmente, no quarto capítulo foram abordadas as tentativas de alfa-arilação de cetonas cíclicas combinando-se catálise fotoredox com organocatálise, trabalho esse desenvolvido durante período sanduíche na Universidade de Michigan. Diversas metodologias foram testadas, entretanto nenhuma permitiu a formação do produto desejado. Estudos via DFT mostraram que a combinação da nucleofilicidade das cetonas e efeitos estéricos impediram que essa reação pudesse ser realizada. Sendo assim, uma nova metodologia foi testada a partir do uso de isonitrilas de haletos de alquila. Após extensa otimização, foi possível obter uma metodologia de tosilação catalisada por níquel. / [en] The advent of photoredox catalysis allowed the development of a series of new C-C bond formation reactions using visible light and photocatalysts to generate organic radicals. It allows methodologies to be developed at room temperature and within short periods of time. Arylation reactions, which involve the insertion of aryl groups, can be performed using diazonium salts as source of aryl radicals. The aim of this dissertation was to study alfa-arylation reactions of carbonyl compounds using photoredox catalysis. This dissertation is divided into four chapters, being the General Introduction the first one. In the second chapter, a coumarin arylation methodology was developed, based on Konig s Arylation, to obtain 4-(N-phenyl)amino-3-phenylcoumarins. These compounds were obtained in up to 95 percent yield. The reaction mechanism was studied from trapping experiments with TEMPO and Stern-Volmer correlation. The obtained coumarins had their biological activities evaluated, and three of them showed promising results as antileishmaniasis candidates. Finally, one of the coumarins was used for the synthesis of azacoumestan, a nitrogenous analog of the natural product coumestan. In the third chapter of the thesis, a theoretical study via Density Functional Theory (DFT) was carried out to study the alfa-arylation of enols acetates to obtain aryl ketones. Previous studies have shown that these reactions perform better when electron withdrawing groups are present in diazonium salts. The use of the Fischer-Radom model allowed us to verify that polar effects are more prominent than enthalpic effects. The origin of these effects was verified as field effects and not resonance effect, since the SOMO orbital in phenyl radicals is orthogonal to the Pi system. Finally, the effect of substituents on enol acetates was studied by Taft and Charton correlations. In the fourth and last chapter, attempts were made to alfa-arylate cyclic ketones combining photoredox catalysis with organocatalysis, work developed during the internship period at the University of Michigan. Several methodologies were tried, however none allowed the formation of the desired product. Studies via DFT showed that the combination of ketone nucleophilicity and steric effects prevented this reaction from being carried out. Therefore, a new methodology was tested using isonitriles of alkyl halides. After extensive optimization, it was possible to obtain a nickel-catalyzed tosylation methodology.

Die stöchiometrische Aktivierung von Trifluormethylschwefelpentafluorid mit dem Carben SIMes (1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) wird thermisch und photochemisch beschrieben. Beide Formen der Aktivierung führen zur Detektion von 1,3-dimesityl-2,2-difluoroimidazolidin (SIMesF2), 1,3-dimesitylimidazolidin-2-sulfid (SIMes=S) und 1,3-dimesityl-2-fluoro-2-trifluoromethylimidazolidin (SIMes(CF3)F). Die Aktivierung von SF5CF3 wurde mit Radikalabfang-Experimenten untersucht, wobei die Ergebnisse auf die Bildung von CF3-Radikalen in der photochemischen Reaktion, nicht aber in der thermischen Reaktion hindeuten. Mechanistisch wird ein Einelektronentransfer von SIMes auf SF5CF3 postuliert. Weiterhin wurde die Reaktivität von SIMesF2 als Deoxyfluorierungsreagenz für verschiedene organische Substrate beobachtet. Zur mechanistischen Aufklärung der Acylfluorid-Synthese wurde das Imidazolidiniumsalz [SIMes-F]+F(HF)2- synthetisiert. Letzteres reagiert mit Benzoesäure zu Benzoylfluorid. Quantenmechanische Rechnungen bestätigen die These, dass ein externes Polyhydrogenfluorid für die Fluorierung der Benzoesäure verantwortlich ist. Anschließend wurde eine photoredoxkatalytische Trifluormethylierungen von Aromaten entwickelt. Ebenso wie bei der stöchiometrischen SF5CF3 Aktivierung wurde auch im Falle der photoredoxkatalytischen Aktivierung ein Einelektronentransfer auf SF5CF3 durch Oxidation des angeregten Katalysators oder Reduktion des zuvor oxidierten Katalysators vorgeschlagen. Experimentelle Untersuchungen des Mechanismus deuten auf die Entstehung von CF3-Radikalen, SF4 und Schwefel hin. Durch die Zugabe von Octanol zur Reaktionsmischung konnte die Bildung von Fluoroctan neben der Bildung von trifluormethylierten Aromaten erzielt werden. Dies deutet auf die Entstehung von Schwefeltetrafluorid hin und zeigt, dass SF5CF3 gleichzeitig als CF3-Quelle und als Quelle für SF4 dienen kann. / The stoichiometric activation of trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride with the carbene SIMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) is described thermally and photochemically. Both forms of activation lead to the detection of 1,3-dimesityl-2,2-difluoroimidazolidine (SIMesF2), 1,3-dimesitylimidazolidine-2-sulfide (SIMes=S) and 1,3-dimesityl-2-fluoro-2-trifluoromethylimidazolidine (SIMes(CF3)F). The activation of SF5CF3 was investigated by radical scavenging experiments, and the results indicate the formation of CF3 radicals in the photochemical reaction but not in the thermal reaction. Mechanistically, a one-electron transfer from SIMes to SF5CF3 is postulated. Furthermore, the reactivity of SIMesF2 as a deoxyfluorination reagent for several organic substrates was observed. The imidazolidinium salt [SIMes-F]+F(HF)2- was synthesized for the mechanistic investigation of the acyl fluoride synthesis. The latter reacts with benzoic acid to form benzoyl fluoride. Quantum mechanical calculations confirm that an external polyhydrogen fluoride is responsible for the fluorination of benzoic acid. Subsequently, a photoredox catalytic trifluoromethylation of aromatic compounds was developed. As in the case of stoichiometric SF5CF3 activation, a one-electron transfer to SF5CF3 by oxidation of the excited catalyst or reduction of the previously oxidized catalyst was also proposed in the case of photoredox catalytic activation. Experimental studies indicate the formation of CF3 radicals, SF4 and sulfur. The addition of octanol to the reaction mixture results in the formation of fluorooctane in addition to the formation of trifluoromethylated aromatics. This indicates the formation of sulfur tetrafluoride and shows that SF5CF3 can simultaneously serve as a CF3 source and as a source of SF4.
