Esses sesquiterpenos, biogeneticamente derivados de um esqueleto carbônico do tipo aristoleno, apresentam em suas estruturas quatro centros estereogênicos contínuos e diferem apenas na substituição do heteroátomo (Cl versus OH) vizinho à unidade espiro g-butirolactônica. Como parte de um programa de pesquisa direcionado à síntese de alguns produtos naturais, descrevemos, nesse trabalho, um estudo focado no desenvolvimento de um método direto, que permitiria a preparação de um alceno funcionalizado, opticamente ativo. Esse intermediário pode ser usado para a síntese assimétrica dos dois sesquiterpenos. Devido ao elevado custo da (S)-(-)-pulegona, iniciamos esse trabalho com a (R)-(+)-pulegona, como um sistema modelo. O nosso objetivo principal era estabelecer uma estratégia sintética que mais tarde pudesse ser extrapolada para a síntese dos sesquiterpenos citados. Baseado nos dados anteriormente descritos pelo nosso laboratório para a síntese racêmica da Patilactona A, realizamos uma seqüência de reações na tentativa de se formar esse alceno funcionalizado. De acordo com a rota sintética partindo da (R)-(+)-pulegona, o intermediário seleneto foi preparado em 9 etapas com um rendimento global de 12%. Em vista do sucesso na síntese de intermediários avançados a partir da (R)-(+)-pulegona, esta mesma sequência sintética pôde ser usada na síntese assimétrica da (+)-Napalilactona, usando como material de partida a (S)-(-)-pulegona / Abstract: Napalilactone and Pathylactone A are two sesquiterpenoids spirolactones isolated from marine corals. These sesquiterpenes, biogenetically derivable from an aristolene carbon skeleton, show in their structures four contiguous stereocenters and differ only in the nature of heteroatom substituent (Cl versus OH) adjacent to the spirolactone ring junction. As part of a research program directed toward the total synthesis of some marine natural products, we describe in this work a study focused on the development of a straightforward method, which would allow the preparation of an optically active functionalized alkene. This key intermediate could be used for the asymmetric synthesis of both sesquiterpenes. Owing to the high cost of (S)-pulegone, we began this work using (R)-pulegone as a model system. Our aim was to establish a synthetic strategy that later could be surpassed for the synthesis of the sesquiterpenes cited. Based on data previously described from our laboratory for the racemic synthesis of Pathylactone-A, we carried out a sequence of reactions in an attempt to form the functionalized alkene. According to the synthetic route from (R)-(+)-pulegone, the intermediate selenide was prepared in 9 steps with overall yield of 13%. In view of the success in the synthesis of advanced intermediates from (R)-pulegone, this same synthetic sequence could be used for the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-Napalilactone, using as starting material the (S)-(-)-pulegone / Mestrado / Quimica Organica / Mestre em Química

A macrolactona da migrastatina é o composto que apresenta a maior atividade de inibição de migração de células tumorais in vitro dentre os compostos da família da migrastatina até hoje sintetizados. A macrolactona 62a, ainda inédita na literatura, é epímero em C8 da macrolactona 62b sintetizada pelo grupo do Professor Danishefsky em 2004 e apresenta atividade de inibição semelhante à macrolactona 11. Além disso, foram realizados estudos visando à síntese da macrolactona 124, epímero da macrolactona 11. Paralelamente, em colaboração com a Farmoquímica Cristália e o grupo do Professor Adriano Andricopulo, do IF/USP de São Carlos, foram realizados testes de avaliação biológica de diversos compostos sintetizados neste trabalho com o intuito de gerar novas substâncias químicas bioativas candidatas a novos fármacos no tratamento do câncer de mama. O capítulo 2 relata a síntese e aplicação de alguns substratos contendo grupos funcionais que ainda não haviam sido testados frente à reação de metátese de alcinos utilizando um novo catalisador de molibdênio. Este projeto foi desenvolvido no laboratório do Professor Alois Fürstner, no Instituto Max-Planck, em Mülheim an der Ruhr ¿ Alemanha. Além disso, um precursor do fragmento B das Latrunculinas A e B foi sintetizado em grande escala, fornecendo material para subsequentes estudos químicos e biológicos / Abstract: Chapter 1 describes the syntheses of macrolactones 11 and 62a. Macrolactone 11 presents the best tumor cell migration inhibitory effect among the compounds of the migrastatin family synthesized so far. Macrolactone 62a, not described in the literature, is the C8-epimer of macrolactone 62b, which was synthesized by Professor Danishefsky¿s group in 2004 and shows similar antitumor activities when compared to macrolactone 11. Studies aiming at the synthesis of macrolactone 124, epimer of macrolactone 11, were also performed. Besides, in collaboration with Farmoquímica Cristália and Professor Andricopulo¿s group (IF/USP, São Carlos), biological assays of several compounds synthesized in this work were carried out, with the purpose of developing new bioactive chemical substances which may soon be employed in the manufacturing of novel drugs in the treatment of breast cancer.Chapter 2 describes the syntheses of new substrates for applications in Mo-catalyzed RCAM. This project was carried out in Professor Fürstner¿s laboratory, at Max-Planck Institute, in Mülheim an der Ruhr ¿ Germany. In this part of the work, a Latrunculin A and B fragment precursor was also synthesized in large scale to provide further material for new biological and chemical studies / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

As reações de adição aldólica entre a cetimina 1 e aldeídos aromáticos foram inicialmente efetuadas à temperatura ambiente, em sistema bifásico constituído por uma fase aquosa básica (KOH 10% ou NaOH 5% m/v) e por uma fase orgânica (aldeído), na ausência de solventes e de catalisadores, observando-se baixa conversão em produto. Porém, quando se utilizou o catalisador aliquat®-336, foi possível reduzir a concentração da base (NaOH 1%), com conversão total da imina em produto que, na maioria dos casos, era uma mistura de duas oxazolidinas isoméricas de estereoquímica cis e trans. Esses compostos puderam ser isolados e purificados por recristalização de etanol ou metanol. Em todas as reações efetuadas com benzaldeído, m-clorobenzaldeído e p-nitrobenzaldeído, não se observou excesso diastereomérico significativo. No entanto, as reações com p-clorobenzaldeído mostraram-se diastereosseletivas, conduzindo, à temperatura ambiente, quase que exclusivamente à oxazolidina de estereoquímica cis. A comparação entre o resultado de reações efetuadas a curto e longo tempo de reação, ou em diferentes temperaturas, permitiu concluir que o aldol de estereoquímica anti é o produto cinético, o qual se transforma lentamente na oxazolidina cis. O produto termodinâmico (aldol syn) cicliza rapidamente, não sendo observado nos espectros de RMN de H dos produtos brutos de reação, mas sim seu produto ciclizado, a oxazolidina trans. Tentativas de obter os produtos de reação com excesso enantiomérico, pelo emprego de catalisadores de transferência de fase assimétricos, não foram bem sucedidas. / The aldol addition reactions of ketimine 1 with four aromatic aldehydes could be performed at room temperature, in the presence of an alkaline aqueous solution (KOH 10% or NaOH 5% m/v), and in the absence of organic solvents or catalysts. Under this conditions, conversion to product was often incomplete. However, when the reaction was performed in the presence of aliquat®-336, the base concentration could be reduced (1% m/v), and the ketimine was completely converted into a mixture of diastereomeric oxazolidines, that could be isolated and purified by crystallization from ethanol or methanol. Although no significative diastereomeric excess was observed for the reactions of 1 with benzaldehyde, m-chlorobenzaldehyde or p-nitrobenzaldehyde, for reactions with p-chlorobenzaldehyde the cis oxazolidine was almost exclusively formed. The comparison of diastereomeric ratio at shorter or longer reaction times seems to indicate that the aldol anti adduct is the kinetic product and that cyclization to the corresponding cis oxazolidine is slower than the retro-aldol reaction. On the other hand, in lieu of the thermodynamic product (aldol syn), only the corresponding cyclized product (oxazolidine trans) could be visualized in the H NMR spectra of the crude product, as a result of a fast cyclization step. Attempts to produce enantiomeric enriched oxazolidines by performing the aldol reactions in the presence of chiral catalysts were unsuccessful.

Este policetídeo apresenta seis centros estereogênicos e sua determinação estrutural foi realizada através da análise conjunta dos espectros de RMN 1D e 2D. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi investigar uma rota sintética convergente e flexível para a obtenção deste produto natural e checar o assinalamento estrutural proposto pelos autores do isolamento. A estrutura proposta para a nhatrangina A foi sintetizada em 19 etapas, considerando a rota linear mais longa, e rendimento global de 6,7%. As etapas chave envolveram reação aldólica, reação de Corey-Fuchs, acoplamento entre alcino e amida de Weinreb mediado por lítio, redução estereosseltiva de Noyori e reação de esterificação de Yamaguchi. Além disso, sintetizamos seis diastereoisômeros da estrutura proposta para o produto natural, utilizando a mesma estratégia sintética empregada na síntese da estrutura proposta para a nhatrangina A, no entanto nenhum destes isômeros corresponderam ao produto natural / Abstract: The nhatrangin A was isolated in 2010 by Orjala and co-workers, from a Vietnamese collection of marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula. This polyketide containing six stereogenic centers and its structure was assigned based on spectrometric and spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The aim of this work was to investigate the convergent and flexible synthetic route for obtaining this natural product and check the structural assignment proposed by the authors of isolation. The proposed structure of nhatrangin A was synthesized in 19 steps, considering the longest linear route, and overall yield of 6.7%. The key steps involved aldol reaction, Corey-Fuchs reaction, lithium-mediated coupling between alkyne and Weinreb amide, Noyori stereoselective reduction and Yamaguchi esterification. In addition, we synthesized six diastereoisomers of the proposed structure for the natural product, using the same synthetic strategy employed in the synthesis of the proposed structure of nhatrangin A, however none of these isomers correspond to the natural product / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutora em Química

<p></p><p>Biomass and shale gas have been proposed as alternate sources of liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Traditional petroleum refining, however, is not capable of directly converting either the highly oxygenated molecular structure of lignocellulosic biomass or the low molecular weight alkanes of shale gas into liquid fuels. In this work, we investigate two processes to generate fuels by upgrading low molecular weight species present in biomass pyrolysis vapors and in shale gas via carbon-carbon coupling reactions of low molecular weight species present in biomass pyrolysis vapors and shale gas. </p> <p>In the first process, fast pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation are used to convert woody biomass into hydrocarbons. However, 22% of the carbon in this process forms C₁-C₃ species which are unsuitable for use as liquid fuels. Aldol condensation has been proposed as a means of leveraging carbonyl groups present in the pyrolysis product distribution prior to hydrodeoxygenation in order to couple low molecular weight species such as glycolaldehyde to transform the C₁-C₃ fraction into C₄₊ species. We demonstrate that aldol condensation of fast pyrolysis vapors results in a large (10%) reduction in carbon yield to C₆ species and only a small (5%) reduction in carbon yield to C₁-C₃ species to form C₇₊ products, suggesting that higher molecular weight species undergo significant reaction over the aldol condensation catalyst. We demonstrate a pathway by which levoglucosan can be converted into levoglucosenone, which then forms C₇₊ species through self-aldol condensation and condensation with light oxygenates. </p> <p>In the second process, light olefins in shale gas, consisting primarily of ethane and propane, are dehydrogenated and oligomerized into higher molecular weight species. Ni cation sites exchanged onto microporous materials catalyze ethene oligomerization to butenes and heavier oligomers, but also undergo rapid deactivation. The use of mesoporous supports has been reported in the literature to alleviate deactivation in regimes of high ethene pressures and low temperatures that cause capillary condensation of ethene within mesoporous voids. Here, we reproduce prior literature findings on mesoporous Ni-MCM-41 and report that, in sharp contrast, reaction conditions that nominally correspond to ethene capillary condensation in microporous Ni-Beta or Ni-FAU zeolites do not mitigate deactivation, likely because confinement within microporous voids restricts the formation of condensed phases of ethene <a>that are effective at solvating and desorbing heavier intermediates that are precursors to deactivation</a>. Deactivation rates are found to transition from a first-order to a second-order dependence on Ni site density in Ni-FAU zeolites with increasing ethene pressure, suggesting a transition in the dominant deactivation mechanism involving a single Ni site to one involving two Ni sites, reminiscent of the effects of increasing H₂ pressure on changing the kinetic order of deactivation in our prior work on Ni-Beta zeolites.</p><br><p></p>

The phytoalexin resveratrol and its acetyl analogs have been made using a decarbonylative Heck reaction. The acid chloride derived from 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid was coupled with suitable protected 4-hydroxystyrene in the presence of palladium acetate and N,N-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,5-dihydro imidazolium chloride to give the substituted stilbene in good yield as the key step. Human HL-60 cell assays showed the 4'-acetyl resveratrol variant improved activity (ED50 17 μM) relative to resveratrol (24 μM). Cinchona phase-transfer catalysts (PTC) were developed for glycolate aldol reactions to give differentially protected 1,2-diol products. Silyl enol ether of diphenylmethoxy-2,5-dimethoxyacetophenone reacted to generate benzhydryl-protected products. O-Allyl trifluorobenzyl cinchonium hydrodifluoride (20 mol %) catalyzed the addition of the silyl enol ether to benzaldehyde to give aldol product as a single syn-product in 76% yield and 80% ee. Recrystallization enriched the product to 95% ee, and a Baeyer-Villiger reaction transformed the product into useful ester intermediates. A novel unnatural product, 8,9-Methylamido-Geldanamycin, has been designed and synthesized. Using a convergent route, the total synthesis of the molecule involved only 27 longest linear steps. New synthesis methodologies, including auxiliary controlled asymmetric anti-glycolate aldol, syn-norephedrine aldol, and selective p-quinone formation, were used.
