O presente trabalho teve como objetivo central estudar, sob condições de Catálise de Transferência de Fase, as reações de C-alquilação de diversos compostos contendo em sua estrutura molecular os grupos α-fenil ou α-naftilacetila: (Ver arquivo PDF). Nas várias reações efetuadas, foram empregados o hidrogenossulfato de tetrabutilamônio (TBAH) e catalisadores quirais derivados de alcalóides da cinchona. Foram investigadas, para cada substrato, várias condições experimentais, tanto em sistema sólido-líquido como líquido-líquido. Nas reações dos ésteres (24), (25) e (26) foram observados produtos derivados da hidrólise do grupo éster. No entanto, para os ésteres (27), (28) e (29) a reação de C-alquilação era preponderante, o que permitiu a extrapolação ao uso de catalisadores quirais. Para estes substratos, apenas o produto de C-alquilação do éster (28) apresentou excesso enantiomérico (8-12%). Os resultados insatisfatórios obtidos para os 6 ésteres estudados foram atribuídos à baixa acidez dos prótons metilênicos, à enolização do produto ou a fatores estruturais. O produto da C-benzilação da amida (31) foi isolado em baixo rendimento e 30% de excesso enantiomérico. Uma comparação com os resultados obtidos para amida (30) permitiu inferir que a substituição de um grupo fenila por um grupo naftila produz um aumento de reatividade e uma melhor interação com o catalisador quiral. No caso da acil-imina (32) e das acil-hidrazonas (33) e (34) os produtos foram obtidos em rendimentos de médios a bons e apresentavam atividade óptica. No entanto, a dificuldade técnica de determinar seu excesso enantiomérico impossibilitou a avaliação da enantiosseletividade das reações de C-alquilação efetuadas com estes substratos. O conjunto dos resultados obtido foi analisado à luz dos modelos atualmente propostos para reações de CTF assimétrica. / The present work focussed on the alkylation reactions, via Phase Transfer Catalysis, of several acyl derivatives: (See files PDF). In order to evaluate the extension of the backgroud reaction, several blank experiments were performed, in the absence of catalyst. The efficiency of the catalitic process was determined using as catalyst an achiral ammonium salt (TBAH). Experimental conditions were optimized using liquid-liquid or solid-liquid systems. In reactions performed with the ester derivatives (24), (25) and (26), hydrolytic acyl cleavage could be observed. However, for compounds (27), (28) and (29), C-alkylated products could be isolated in reasonable yields. Reactions conducted under asymmetric PTC conditions led, in most cases, to racemic products. Esters were considered inadequate substrates for C-alkylation as a consequence of three main factors: (i) low reactivity under PTC conditions, (ii) product racemization or (iii) formation of loose ion-pairs, or diastereomeric intermediates of equal thermodynamic stability. Asymmetric PTC alkylation of amide (31) afforded a C-benzylated optically active product in low yield (ee= 30%). Improved reactivity could be observed for this substrate as compared to amide (30), as a result of increasing acidity and a more favorable interaction between the catalyst and the corresponding enolate. For compounds (32), (33) and (34), the enantiomeric excess of the corresponding C-benzylated products could not be determined, precluding a comparison of the efficiency of the stereoselective catalytic process. For each case, results were discussed in terms of currently accepted models for the enolate/catalyst interaction.

A química verde, que tem a preocupação com o desenvolvimento de tecnologias e processos incapazes de causar poluição, tem sido citada cada vez mais em destaque, pela mídia, como mais uma das iniciativas para prevenção da poluição desenfreada. Neste estudo tem-se buscado a redução ou eliminação de solventes, adaptação dos sistemas reacionais para operação em temperatura ambiente e aumento do rendimento em processos de reações guiados pelos doze princípios da química verde. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste na síntese de intermediários de princípios ativos para uso industrial, através de processos de formação de oximas e oximas éteres. O trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas principais, preparação de oximas e preparação de oximas éteres. Na primeira preparou-se oximas através da reação de aldeídos (benzaldeído, furfuraldeído, salicilaldeído e p-anisaldeído) e cetonas (ciclopentanona, ciclohexanona, metil etil cetona, benzofenona e acetofenona) com cloreto de hidroxilamina, sem a utilização de solventes orgânicos e sem adição de água. Na segunda o objetivo foi preparar oximas éteres (O-butil benzaldeído oxima, O-butil furfuraldeído oxima, N-butoxi-(2-butoxifenil) metanimina, O-butil p-anisaldeído oxima, O-butil ciclohexanona oxima, O-butil ciclopentanona oxima e O-butil metil etil cetona oxima) a partir da alquilação de oximas utilizando um suporte sólido de KF/Al2O3 como catalisador. Todos os compostos foram caracterizados por RMN 13C (apt) e alguns por infravermelho e RMN 1H. / Green chemistry, which is concerned with the development of technologies and processes incapable of causing pollution, has been cited increasingly highlighted, by the media, as another of the initiatives to prevent pollution rampant. This study has sought a reduction or elimination of solvents, reaction to adjust the systems operating at room temperature and yield increase in reactive processes that are guided by the twelve principles of green chemistry. The objective of this work is the synthesis of active intermediates for industrial use, through processes of formation of oximes, oximes ethers. The work was divided into two phases, preparation of oximes and preparation of oximes ethers. In the first was prepared oximes by reaction of aldehydes (benzaldehyde, furfuraldeyde, salicylaldehyde and p-anisaldeyde) and ketones (cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, benzophenone and acetophenone) with hydroxylamine chloride without the use of organic solvents and without adding water. For the second was prepared oximes ethers (O-butyl benzaldheyde oxime, O-butyl furfuraldeyde oxime, N-butoxy-(2-butoxyphenyl) methanimine, O-butyl p-anisaldeyde oxime, O-butyl cyclohexanone oxime, O-butyl cyclopentanone oxime e O-butyl methyl ethyl ketone oxime) from the alkylation of oximes, using a solid support as catalyst KF/Al2O3. All compounds were characterized by 13C NMR (apt) and some infrared and 1H NMR.

De nombreux composés naturels bioactifs incluent dans leur squelette complexe un motif spiroacétalique. Des spiroacétals modèles avec une activité antitumorale ont été décrits. La présence d'un atome d'azote peut amplifier cette activité, nous avons étudié la classe originale des spiroaminoacétals. Nous avons mis au point une synthèse énantiosélective de spirohétérocycles qui module : la taille des cycles et leur structure azotée ou oxygénée. Notre stratégie utilise une étape-clé d'alkylation itérative de l'acétone diméthylhydrazone "one-opt" par des synthons iodés polyfonctionnalisés, suivie d'une déprotection-spirocyclisation. Son efficacité a été illustrée par la synthèse des 1,7-dioxaspiro[5;5]undécane, 1.7dioxaspiro[5.5]undécane-3-ol, 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]décanes et aza-1-oxaspiro[5.5] undécane. Les séries 6-aza -1 - oxaspiro[4.5]décane et 7-aza-1-oxaspiro[5.4]décane ont été explorées. Les analyses structurales (RMN, modélisation moléculaire) ainsi que les premiers tests biologiques (cellules cancéreuses) sont présentés

Complex reaction kinetics of the solid acid alkylation of isobutane with butenes over a proton-exchanged Y-zeolite has been modeled at the elementary step level. Starting with a computer algorithm that generated the reaction network based on the fundamentals of the carbenium ion chemistry, the formation of over 100+ product species has been modeled in order to gain understanding of the underlying phenomena leading to rapid catalyst deactivation and product selectivity shifts observed in experimental runs. An experimental investigation of the solid acid alkylation process was carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor operating with an excess of isobutane under isothermal conditions at moderate temperatures (353-393 K) in liquid phase. Experimental data varying with run-time for a set of butene space-times and reaction temperatures were collected for parameter estimation purposes. A kinetic model was formulated in terms of rate expressions at the elementary step level including a rigorous modeling of deactivation through site coverage. The single event concept was applied to each rate coefficient at the elementary step level to achieve a significant reduction in the number of model parameters. Based on the identification of structural changes leading to the creation or destruction of symmetry axes and chiral centers in an elementary step, formulae have been developed for the calculation of the number of single events. The Evans-Polanyi relationship and the concept of stabilization energy were introduced to account for energy levels in surface-bonded carbenium ions. A novel functional dependency of the stabilization energy with the nature of the carbenium ion and the carbon number was proposed to account for energy effects from the acid sites on the catalyst. Further reductions in the number of parameters and simplification of the equations for the transient pseudohomogeneous one-dimensional plug-flow model of the reactor were achieved by means of thermodynamic constraints. Altogether, the single event concept, the Evans-Polanyi relationship, the stabilization energy approach and the thermodynamic constraints led to a set of 14 parameters necessary for a complete description of solid acid alkylation at the elementary step level.

This thesis deals with the preparation and use of chiralbispyridylamides as ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetricreactions. The compounds were prepared by amide formation usingdifferent coupling reagents. Bispyridylamides havingsubstituents in the 4- or 6- positions of the pyridine ringswere prepared by functional group interconversion of the 4- or6- halopyridine derivatives. These synthetic approaches provedto be useful for various types of chiral backbones. Pseudo C2-symmetric bispyridylamides were also synthesizedby means of stepwise amide formation. The compounds were used as ligands in themicrowave-accelerated Mocatalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylationreaction. Ligands having ð-donating substituents in the4-positions of the pyridine rings gave rise to products withhigher branched to linear ratio. The catalytic reaction, whichproved to be rather general for allylic carbonates with anaromatic substituent, was used as the key step in thepreparation of (R)-baclofen. The Mo-bispyridylamide catalystprecursor was studied by NMR spectroscopy. Bispyridylamide complexes of metal alkoxides were alsoevaluated in the asymmetric addition of cyanide to aldehydesand the metal complexes involved were studied by NMRspectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Chiral diamines wereused as additives to study the ring opening of cyclohexeneoxide with azide, catalyzed by Zr(IV)-bispyridylamidecomplexes. Various bispyridylamides were attached to solid supports oforganic or inorganic nature. The solid-supported ligands wereused in Mo-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactionsand in the asymmetric addition of cyanide to benzaldehyde. Keywords:asymmetric catalysis, chiral ligand, pyridine,amide, allylic alkylation, enantioselective, cyanation,ring-opening, chiral Lewis acid.

Enzymes as tools in organic synthesis have provided enormous advantages. This thesis deals with the applications of enzymes in the kinetic resolutions of racemic compounds. The stereochemistry of chiral compounds and the kinetics of α/β hydrolase lipases are presented. From a practical point of view, the handling of a large number of parameters that influences the kinetic resolutions, especially enantioselectivity (E-value) are systematically described. A variety of approaches employed for raising the yields to over 50% are additionally discussed. Methods for the preparation of synthetically useful chiral building blocks were developed in this thesis. Thus, resolution of secondary alcohols bearing two vicinal stereocentres are studied. These building blocks can serve as starting materials for the synthesis of various enantiomerically pure compounds for agrochemistry, pharmaceuticals, chemical industry, and particularly for the total synthesis of pheromones. Racemic 3-substitued 2-hydroxybutane derivatives were produced in fairly high diastereomeric purities by a variety of chemical approaches, such as epimerization, metal-catalysed asymmetric addition etc. Kinetic resolution of these racemates was achieved by enzyme-catalysed reactions. Two lipases, Candida antarctica lipase B and Pseudomonas cepacia lipase were found to be useful in acylations as well as hydrolyses. In the biotransformations studied, the presence and nature of the second vicinal stereocentre in the chiral secondary alcohols investigated seemed to be important, e.g. in terms of the efficiencies of sequential kinetic resolutions, and altering the selectivities as well. / QC 20101020

The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics with Meldrum?s acid derivatives catalyzed by metal trifluoromethanesulfonates and other Lewis acids is reported. Meldrum?s acids are easily prepared, functionalized, handled, and purified. The synthesis of polysubstituted 1-indanones from benzyl Meldrum's acids was investigated thoroughly, and it was shown that a variety of catalysts were effective, whilst accommodating a diversity of functional groups under mild conditions. The scope, limitations, and functional group tolerance (terminal alkene and alkyne, ketal, dialkyl ether, dialkyl thioether, aryl methyl ether, aryl TIPS and TBDPS ethers, nitrile- and nitro-substituted aryls, alkyl and aryl halides) for a variety of 5-benzyl (enolizable Meldrum?s acids) and 5-benzyl-5-substituted Meldrum?s acids (quaternarized Meldrum?s acids), forming 1-indanones and 2-substituted-1-indanones respectively, are delineated. <br ><br /> This method was further applied to the synthesis of 1-tetralones, 1-benzosuberones, and the potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil. <br ><br /> Mechanistic investigations were undertaken to determine the rate-determining step in the acylation sequence using Meldrum?s acid, as well as to examine the role of the Lewis acid catalyst. Enolizable Meldrum?s acid derivatives can react via an acyl ketene intermediate under thermal conditions, while quaternarized Meldrum?s acid derivatives are thermally stable and only act as effective Friedel-Crafts acylating agents in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. <br ><br /> The total synthesis of (±)-Taiwaniaquinol B was completed. This natural product was the first ever isolated containing an unusual 6-5-6 fused ring system, and it also contains a hexasubstituted aromatic ring, and two all-carbon quaternary centers. This synthesis was accomplished via an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation/carbonyl a-<em>tert</em>-alkylation reaction that exploits the unique chemistry of Meldrum?s acid. This novel methodology can be used to access a variety of highly substituted fused ring systems of various sizes.

This thesis is the use of commercially available methyl 2-iodobenzoate as the starting material and was prepared into iodine - oxazoline compound 118. Then, we undergo copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of compound 118with thiols, and were readily facilitated to afford the corresponding desired products 127¡B136 in good to excellent yields. This method not only modified short- comings of that adding strong base to synthesis of sulfur-oxazoline ligands in past years but also has a good yield performances, the yield is 70 -87%. And we will use this strategy to undergo one pot reaction of carbon-sulfur coupling in future. In the end, we used new sulfur-oxazoline ligands127¡B128 in the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate with dimethyl malonate. and reaction ee% were high, with the best result of 99% and 93% conversion.
