There is a continuing interest in the subject of arene carbonylation, especially in strong acids and environmentally-benign alternatives are sought to HF/BF3 and to AlCl3 as conversion agents. Ionic liquids offer a powerful solvent for useful conversion agents such as aluminum chloride. The ILs permit AlCl3 to be used at lower HCl partial pressures than with other solvents. The superior reactivity demonstrated by acidic, chloroaluminate ILs is probably due to their enhanced solvation power for HCl and CO. Addition of HCl gas increased reactivity of the system by forming Brnsted acids, and toluene carbonylation is a Brnsted demanding reaction. It was found that reaction is stoichiometric in Al species and only intrinsically acidic ILs are active for toluene carbonylation, therefore it was possible to correlate observed conversion with predicted amounts of Lewis + Brnsted acids. Molecular modeling provided information about the different species present in these ILs and predicted 1H NMR, and 27Al NMR spectrum. Predictions suggested that three types of HCl species are present; and these predictions were confirmed using data of 13C-labeled acetone and its 13C-NMR spectra. These data showed that only one of the three types of HCl in the IL were super acidic. Reactivity towards arene formylation can be tuned by adjusting the ligands R and R in the organic cation and by changing the anion. This reactivity tuning can be exploited in a process where high acidity is required for the conversion of substrate but where separation of product from IL is facilitated by low acidity.

A new monomer / 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)-2,5-di-2-thienyl-1H-pyrrole SNSNO2 was synthesized through the Knorr-Paal condensation reaction of 1,4-di-2-thienyl-1,4-butanedione and p-nitroaniline. The chemical structure of monomer and polymer were characterized via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Chemical polymerization produced a polymer which was completely soluble in organic solvents. Electrochemical behaviors of SNSNO2 and SNSNO2 in the presence of EDOT were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The synthesis of homopolymer and copolymer were achieved via constant potential electrolysis. Both homopolymer P(SNSNO2) and copolymer P(SNSNO2-co-EDOT) were characterized by various techniques including cyclic voltammetry, FTIR, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-VIS Spectrophotometer. Conductivities of samples were measured by four probe technique. The electrochromic properties of the polymers were investigated via spectroelectrochemistry, colorimetry and switching studies. In addition, dual type electrochromic devices (ECDs) composed of P(SNSNO2), P(SNSNO2-co-EDOT) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were constructed and evaluated. Spectroelectrochemistry, switching ability and stability of the devices were investigated by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and Cyclic Voltammetry. They have shown to possess good switching times, reasonable contrasts and high stabilities.

Les propriétés de transport et de diffusion e l'ion F ont été étudiées au sein de plusieurs séries de matériaux fluorés. La première partie de ce mémoire est consacrée à l'application du modèle des processus de clutérisation établi par J. M. Reau aux solutions solides de structure dérivée du type fluorine et comportant des cations substitutionels tétravalents. Cette étude a montré que ce modèle est un modèle général qui permet 'évaluer la nature et le nombre de porteurs de charge à longue distance en fonction de la composition. Les porteurs de charge dans les solutions solides M1xM"xF2+2x (M = Ca, Sr, Ba Pb ; M" = Th, U) ont été identifiés ux ions fluorure interstitiels F" et les processus de clutérisation ont été proposés au sein de ces solutions soles.<br />Les propriétés de transport et de diffusion de l'ion F - dans les phases du système BiF"-NH4F sont l'objet de la seconde partie de ce mémoire. Les phases de l'ammonium comparées aux phases homologues du rubidium compotent une plus grande mobilité de l'ion F- qui a été attribuée à des mouvements assistés de rotation/réorientation des ions NH4+. Cette hypothèse est confirmée par des investigations par RMN des phases du système BiF3-NH4F appliquées successivement aux noyaux 1H et 19F.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Synthese und Strukturaufklärung von neuartigen, chromophoren Barbituraten, welche als selektive Chemosensoren verwendet werden können. Als Schlüsselverbindungen dienten 5-(4-Nitrophenyl)-barbiturate, deren Enolisierungsfähigkeit systematisch untersucht wurden. Des Weiteren konnten SCHIFFschen Basen, Pyridinium-Barbiturat-Betain-Farbstoffe sowie ein fluoreszenzaktive Naphthalimid synthetisiert werden, in welchen der Barbitursäure-Substituent ebenfalls elektronenschiebende Eigenschaften aufweist. Die individuelle Interaktion der Barbiturate mit der Solvensumgebung wurde mittels Lineare-Solvatations-Energie (LSE)- Beziehungen unter Verwendung der empirischen Lösungsmittelparameter nach KAMLET-TAFT und CATALÁN untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk lag auf dem Studium der molekularen Erkennung von ausgewählten Chromophoren mit Nukleinbasen und strukturell verwandten Verbindungen. Hierzu gelang es die supramolekularen Bindungsphänomene über Wasserstoffbrücken und die Beeinflussung des chromophoren Systems sowohl im Festkörper als auch in Lösung zu verfolgen.

The research work reported in the thesis deals with the development of dynamic covalent systems and their applications in evaluation and screening of protein-ligands and enzyme inhibitors, as well as in synthetic methodologies. The thesis is divided into four parts as described below. In part one, synthetic methodologies to access 3-functionalized phthalides and 3-thioisoindolinones using the concept of cascade reactions are demonstrated. Efficient syntheses of the target products are designed and performed in one-pot process under mild reaction conditions.  In part two, phosphine-catalyzed disulfide metathesis for the generation of dynamic carbohydrate system in aqueous solution is demonstrated. In the presence of biological target (Concanavalin A), the optimal dynamic ligand is successfully identified in situ by the 1H STD-NMR spectroscopy. In part three, lipase-catalyzed resolutions of dynamic reversible systems using reversible cyanohydrin and hemithioacetal reactions in one-pot processes are demonstrated. The dynamic systems are generated under thermodynamic control in organic solution and subsequently resolved by lipase-mediated resolution under kinetic control. The resolution processes resulted in the lipase-selected substrates with high structural and stereochemical specificities. In the last part, dynamic fragment-based strategy is presented using β-galactosidase as a model target enzyme. Based on our previous study, the best dynamic inhibitor of β-galactosidase was identified using 1H STD-NMR technique from dynamic hemithioacetal systems. The structure of the dynamic inhibitor is tailored by fragment linking and optimization processes. The designed inhibitor structures are then synthesized and tested for inhibition activities against β-galactosidase. / QC 20110526

Furthermore, the convergence of syntons main purpose was to study the glycosylation, ie been explored two methods of forming glycosidic linkages, the method of trichloroacetimidate and method of isomerization of the allyl glycoside donor. The preparation of donors and acceptors glycosidic sequences involving protection and deprotection of hydroxyl groups from adenosine and D-glucose, respectively, favoring the formation of armed donors and observation of stereochemistry at anomeric carbon. The and anomers formed in this synthesis sequence were separated, but the only reason anomers were characterization by usual methods of analysis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, mass and infrared. Thus, we synthesized two glycoside acceptors (17) and (18) and five donor glycoside (9), (11), (11), (13) and (13), all substances are novel. Among the glycosylation assays only the method of tricloroacetimidate gave the desired product (glycosylation between 11 and 17) that is the object of characterizing and whose data has not yet been completed and conclusive.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013 / Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Psicofarmacologia (AFIP) / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / A cocaina produz potentes efeitos reforcadores devido ao bloqueio de transportadores dopaminergicos, causando um grande e rapido aumento de dopamina na fenda sinaptica. Este aumento de dopamina no sistema mesolimbico e provavelmente o maior responsavel pelo abuso da droga, que pode levar a dependencia. No entanto, ate o momento, nao foi estabelecido nenhum tratamento para a dependencia de cocaina. Neste sentido, este estudo foi proposto a fim de avaliar o efeito de duas drogas sobre a preferencia condicionada por lugar (PCL) induzida por cocaina, o agonista parcial de receptores D1, SKF 38393, e o inibidor da sintese de dopamina, &#945;-metil-p-tirosina (AMPT). Camundongos machos adultos C57BL/6J foram condicionados a um ambiente com administracao de cocaina (10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal (i.p.) em dias alternados em um procedimento obiasedo. Apos o teste de preferencia pos-condicionamento, os animais foram submetidos a tres dias de tratamento com SKF 38393 (10 mg/kg) ou AMPT (250 mg/kg) ou com a associacao das duas drogas. O tratamento com SKF 38393 foi capaz de reverter a PCL induzida pela cocaina. Contrariamente, a administracao repetida de AMPT potencializou este comportamento. A associacao de SKF 38393 e AMPT bloqueou o comportamento previamente estabelecido pela cocaina. Adicionalmente, foi avaliado o efeito do SKF 38393 sobre os niveis de BDNF no nucleo accumbens (NAcc) e na area tegmental ventral (ATV) apos o procedimento de PCL induzido por cocaina. Houve aumento de BDNF na ATV tanto pela administracao repetida de cocaina quanto de SKF 38393, sendo que a associacao destas duas drogas potencializou o aumento de BDNF nesta regiao. No entanto, nao foram verificadas alteracoes nos niveis de BDNF no NAcc em nenhum grupo. Este estudo fornece indicios de que os receptores D1 participam diretamente do mecanismo de reforco condicionado no modelo de PCL induzida por cocaina; e que a ativacao parcial destes receptores concomitante ao uso da cocaina desencadeia alteracoes neurobiologicas que podem ser a chave para o desenvolvimento de medicamentos para a dependencia de cocaina / Cocaine produces potent reward effects by the block age of dopamine transporters. This blockage triggers a fast and large increase of dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft. This increase of dopamine in the mesolimbic system is probably the major responsible for the drug abuse that may lead to add iction. However, until now, it was not yet established a treatment for cocaine addicti on. Therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of the partial D 1 agonist SKF 38393 and of the dopamine synthesis inhibitor α -metil- p -tyrosine (AMPT) on cocaine-conditioned place preference (CPP). Male adult C57BL/6J mice were con ditioned with cocaine (10 mg/kg; i.p.) each other day in a biased procedure. After the post-conditioning test, the mice were submitted to three consecutive days of tr eatment with SKF 38393 (10 mg/kg; i.p.) or AMPT (250 mg/kg; i.p.), or the asso ciation of the two drugs. After the post-treatment preference test, it was demonstrated that the SKF 38393 reversed the CPP; while conversely, AMPT potentiated it. The ass ociation of the two drugs was able to block the effects of cocaine-induced CPP. A dditionally, we investigated the effects of the three days of treatment with SKF 383 93 (10 mg/kg) on the BDNF levels in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus acc umbens (NAcc) after the cocaine-induced CPP procedure. Both cocaine and SKF 38393 treatments increased the BDNF levels in the VTA. The increase of BDNF wa s potentialized with the association of cocaine and SKF 38393 in this area. However there were no changes in BDNF levels in the NAcc in any experimental grou p. This study provides evidences that D1 receptors are directly involved with the co nditioned reward mechanism in cocaine-induced CPP. Moreover, the partial activati on of D1 receptors concomitant with cocaine use triggers neurobiological changes t hat may be the key role for the development of a treatment for cocaine addiction / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This paper presents the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination applied to preparing 22 new 5-alkoxy-3-trifluoromethyl-penta-2,4-dienenitriles (5), 5- phenylthio-3-trifluoromethyl-penta-2,4-dienenitriles (6) and ethyl 4-alkoxy-2- cyanomethylene-but-3-enoates (7) from the condensation between diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (4) and β-alkoxyvinyl ketones (1), β-phenyltiovinyl ketones (2) and ethyl 4-alkoxy-2-oxo-but-3-enoates (3), furnishing the desired products with 10 to 93% yields.

The applied methodology was based in the use of conventional pulse sequence that use a train of pulses with same phase, intensity and duration, separated by a time interval (Tp) shorter than the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation times of the sample. After that, it was performed modifications that correspond to the phase alternation of pulses. These modifications allowed to minimize phase anomalies, which result from the refocusing of the magnetization and occur in the 1H spectrum when using the conventional pulse sequence. Through the new sequence, named PA-CWFP, it was possible to suppress solvent signals in several samples with different characteristics and the determination of sucrose content in four different types of grapes (Vitis vinifera), available in the local trade. In addition, the train of pulses with phase alternation was added in two routines 2D experiments: COSY (Correlation Spectroscopy) and HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation Spectroscopy). The results were compared with traditional sequences for solvent suppression and demonstrate the potential of Continuous Wave Free Precession method for experiment of this type. / A aplicação do método de Precessão Livre de onda Contínua (CWFP) para supressão de sinal(s) de solvente(s) em RMN de alta resolução 1D e 2D é reportada. A metodologia aplicada baseou-se no uso da sequência convencional, que se utiliza de um trem de pulsos de mesma fase, intensidade e duração, separados por um intervalo de tempo Tp menor que os tempos de relação longitudinal (T1) e transversal (T2) da amostra. Em seguida, foram realizadas modificações que correspondem à alternância nas fases dos pulsos. Estas modificações permitiram minimizar anomalias de fase que resultam da refocalização da magnetização e que ocorrem nos espectros de 1H quando se utiliza da sequência convencional. Através da nova sequência, denominada CWFP-AF, foi possível a supressão de sinal(s) de solventes em várias amostras com características distintas e determinação do teor de sacarose em quatro tipos diferentes de uva (Vitis vinifera) disponíveis no comércio local. Além disso, o trem de pulsos com alternância de fases foi inserido em dois experimentos de RMN 2D de rotina: COSY (Correlation Spectroscopy) e HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation Spectroscopy). Os resultados foram comparados com sequências tradicionais para supressão de sinal de solvente e demonstram o potencial da Precessão Livre de Onda Contínua para experimentos desta natureza.
