Uemura e colaboradores em 1996, apresentam em comum um sistema 6-aza-[4.5.0]-espirobiciclodecano. A atividade biológica da haliclorina (1) está relacionada com a inibição de moléculas associadas à adesão de células vasculares (VCAM-1) com IC50 de 7mg/mL. O ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3) são inibidores da fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Devido à similaridade estrutural existente entre haliclorina (1), ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3), a proposta sintética para estes produtos naturais apresenta um intermediário chave em comum, o núcleo 6-aza-[4.5.0]- espirobiciclodecano. A estratégia sintética foi baseada em uma reação de Michael estereosseletiva entre enolato de lítio da N-propionilpirolidina e 1-ciclopenten-1-carboxilato de metila, seguida da alquilação in situ com 4-iodo-butirato de etila formando 4 em 68% rendimento. A próxima etapa consistiu na condensação de Dieckmann seguida de hidrólise/descarboxilação conduzindo a cetona 5 (61% rendimento) que sofreu redução com LiEt3BH, seguida de lactonização espontânea para gerar 6 (67% rendimento). Após algumas manipulações de grupo funcionais foi obtida a oxima 7 (76% rendimento de 6) precursora do rearranjo de Beckmann que forneceu a lactama espirobicíclica 8 em 60% rendimento / Abstract: In 1996, D. Uemura and co-workers isolated the marine alkaloids halichlorine (1), pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinaic acid (3). They are structurally co-related by a 6- azaspiro[4.5.0]decane core. The biological activity of the haliclorina (1) is related to the inhibition of molecules associated to the adhesion of vascular cells (VCAM-1) with IC50 7mg/mL. The pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinnaic acid (3) are inhibitors of the fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Due to the structural similarity among halichlorine (1), acid pinnaic (2) and acid tauropinnaic (3), this work presents a new synthetic approach to a common key intermediate, the 6-azaspiro[4.5.0]decane nucleus. Our approach was based on the tandem Michael addition/alkylation of the lithium enolate of N-propionyl pyrrolidine to 1-carbomethoxy cyclopentene, followed by in situ alkylation with ethyl 4-iodobutanoate to provide 4 in 68% yield. Dieckmann cyclization, followed by decarboxylation, afforded spirobicyclic ketone 5 (61% yield) which underwent reduction with LiEt3BH reduction, followed by spontaneous lactonization to give 6 (67% yield). Straightforward functional group manipulations provided oxime 7 (76% yield from 6) which underwent Beckmann rearrangement to afford the spirobicyclic lactam 8 in 60% yield, a potential intermediate to the synthesis of those alkaloids / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Chapter I deals with novel approaches for α-amino acids. This chapter has been divided into three sections. Section A describes the synthesis of α-amino acids via the Beckmann rearrangement of carboxyl-protected β-keto acid oximes. The synthesis of α-amino acids using the Beckmann rearrangement involves the preparation of the Z-oxime and efficient protection of the carboxyl group. Various 2-substituted benzoylacetic acids were synthesized, in which the carboxyl function was masked as a 2,4,10-trioxaadamantane unit (an orthoacetate), and were converted to their oximes (Scheme 1).1 The oximes were converted to the their mesylates, which underwent the Beckmann rearrangement with basic Al2O3 in refluxing CHCl3. The corresponding 2-substituted-N-benzoyl-α-amino orthoacetates were obtained in excellent overall yields. In Section B, the synthesis of α-amino acids via the Hofmann rearrangement of carboxyl-protected malonamic acids is described. The Hofmann rearrangement involves the migration of the alkyl moiety of the amide onto the N-centre. Various 2-substituted malonamic acids (malonic acid mono amides) were synthesized with the carboxyl group masked as a 2,4,10¬trioxaadamantane unit (an orthoacetate). These underwent the Hofmann rearrangement with phenyliodoso acetate and KOH/MeOH (Scheme 2). The resulting (N-methoxycarbonyl)¬trioxaadmantylmethylamines (carbamates) were formed in yields > 90%, and are α-amino acids with both carboxyl and amino protection.2 In Section C, an approach to chiral amino acids via the reductive amination of ketones, involving the hydride reduction of 1-(S)-phenethyl amine derived Schiff bases of C-protected α¬keto acids is described. An efficient synthesis of α-amino acids has thus been developed in high diastereoselectivity. Various 1-acyl-2,4,10-trioxaadamantanes were prepared from the corresponding 1-methoxycarbonyl derivatives, via conversion to the N-acylpiperidine derivative followed by reaction with a Grignard reagent in refluxing THF (Scheme 3). These α-keto orthoformates were converted to corresponding imines with 1-(S)-phenethyl amine (TiCl4/Et3N/toluene/reflux), the Schiff bases being reduced with NaBH4 (MeOH/0 °C) to the corresponding 1-(S)-phenethyl N-alkylamines (diastereomeric excess by NMR ~ 90:10).3 Hydrogenolysis of the phenethyl group (Pd-C/H2/MeOH) finally led to the (aminoalkyl)trioxaadamantanes, which are chiral C-protected α-amino acids, in excellent overall yields. Here a mild, inexpensive and efficient hydride reducing agent for the reductive amination of α-keto acids has been developed. Chapter II deals with the enantioselective synthesis of piperidines and its applications in the synthesis of piperidine alkaloids.4 This chapter has been divided into two sections. In Section A, the enantioselective synthesis of 2-substituted piperidines and its applications in the synthesis of (R)-(-)-coniine and (R)-(+)-anatabine are described. Various N-tert-butylsulfinyl imines were synthesized, which upon allyl Grignard addition followed by N-allylation gave the diallyl compound with good diastereoselectivity (Scheme 4). The diallyl compound underwent ring closing metathesis with Grubbs’ first generation catalyst and subsequent reduction of the double bond with H2-Pd/C, furnished N-sulfinyl-2-susbstituted piperidines. Using this methodology (R)¬(-)-coniine hydrochloride and (R)-(+)-anatabine were synthesized. In Section B, the enantioselective synthesis of (S)-tert-butyl 2-(2¬hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate and its elaboration to the synthesis of (S)-(+)-δ-coniceine and (S)-(+)-pelletierine are described. The (S)-tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1¬carboxylate is a synthon used for the synthesis of various 2-substituted piperidine natural products. Using the above methodology (S)-tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1¬carboxylate was synthesized starting from (S)-(+)-2-methyl-2-propanesulfinamide and 3¬(benzyloxy)propanal (Scheme 5). This alcohol was further elaborated to furnish two piperidine alkaloids (S)-(+)-pelletierine and (S)-(+)-δ-coniceine. Scheme 5. Enantioselective synthesis of (S)-tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine-1¬carboxylate, (S)-(+)-pelletierine and (S)-(+)-δ-coniceine. Chapter III deals with the formation of barbituric acid in an aprotic medium and related mechanistic studies. The generally accepted mechanism for the formation of barbituric acid involves the nucleophilic attack of urea anion on diethyl malonate.5 This is debatable for at least two reasons: (1) the normally employed base, sodium ethoxide, is too weak to deprotonate urea and (2) diethyl malonate is more acidic than urea, so the initial deprotonation by base has to be from diethyl malonate. When diethyl malonate (DEM) enolate was treated with urea in DMF, barbituric acid was formed in 61% yield. The reaction was also extended to several 2-substituted DEM derivatives, the corresponding substituted barbituric acids being formed in reasonable yields. The reaction between diethyl 2-(ethoxycarbonyl)malonate and urea, with potassium carbonate in refluxing ethanol, led to the formation of barbituric acid. This is apparently facilitated by hydrogen bonding involving the enolate oxygen atom, which renders one of the carbonyl groups relatively electrophilic (Scheme 6). Meldrum’s acid failed to react with urea, despite its greater acidity, indicating that the reaction requires the formation of the E from of the s-trans enolate ion, in which the hydrogen bonding interaction and nucleophilic attack can occur in concert.

Chapter IV deals with an improved Erlenmeyer synthesis with 5-thiazolone and catalytic manganese (II) acetate for aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. A serious limitation to the classical Erlenmeyer reaction is that it generally fails in the case of aliphatic aldehydes. This chapter describes a convenient approach to this problem that extends the scope of the Erlenmeyer synthesis. The present study was aimed at developing milder conditions for the synthesis of 4¬arylidene and alkylidenethioazlactones. Thus, N-(thiobenzoyl)glycine was treated with DCC in DCM at room temperature for 10 min., according to a reported procedure, to form the thioazlactone.6 The same reaction mixture was treated with catalytic Mn(II) acetate and an equivalent of an aromatic aldehyde, to furnish the corresponding 4-arylidenethioazlactones in good yields. The scope of the reaction was extended to alphatic aldehydes also under similar reaction conditions, to obtain the 4-alkylidene thioazlactones in good to moderate yields (Scheme 7). Scheme 7.

L’importance des produits naturels dans le développement de nouveaux médicaments est indéniable. Malheureusement, l’isolation et la purification de ces produits de leurs sources naturelles procure normalement de très faibles quantités de molécules biologiquement actives. Ce problème a grandement limité l’accès à des études biologiques approfondies et/ou à une distribution sur une grande échelle du composé actif. Par exemple, la famille des pipéridines contient plusieurs composés bioactifs isolés de sources naturelles en très faible quantité (de l’ordre du milligramme). Pour pallier à ce problème, nous avons développé trois nouvelles approches synthétiques divergentes vers des pipéridines polysubstituées contenant une séquence d’activation/désaromatisation d’un sel de pyridinium chiral et énantioenrichi. La première approche vise la synthèse de pipéridines 2,5-disubstituées par l’utilisation d’une réaction d’arylation intermoléculaire sur des 1,2,3,4-tétrahydropyridines 2-substituées. Nous avons ensuite développé une méthode de synthèse d’indolizidines et de quinolizidines par l’utilisation d’amides secondaires. Cette deuxième approche permet ainsi la synthèse formelle d’alcaloïdes non-naturels à la suite d’une addition/cyclisation diastéréosélective et régiosélective sur un intermédiaire pyridinium commun. Finalement, nous avons développé une nouvelle approche pour la synthèse de pipéridines 2,6-disubstituées par l’utilisation d’une réaction de lithiation dirigée suivie d’un couplage croisé de Negishi ou d’un parachèvement avec un réactif électrophile. Le développement de transformations chimiosélectives et versatiles est un enjeu crucial et actuel pour les chimistes organiciens. Nous avons émis l’hypothèse qu’il serait possible d’appliquer le concept de chimiosélectivité à la fonctionnalisation d’amides, un des groupements le plus souvent rencontrés dans la structure des molécules naturelles. Dans le cadre précis de cette thèse, des transformations chimiosélectives ont été réalisées sur des amides secondaires fonctionnalisés. La méthode repose sur l’activation de la fonction carbonyle par l’anhydride triflique en présence d’une base faible. Dans un premier temps, l’amide ainsi activé a été réduit sélectivement en fonction imine, aldéhyde ou amine en présence d’hydrures peu nucléophiles. Alternativement, un nucléophile carboné a été employé afin de permettre la synthèse de cétones ou des cétimines. D’autre part, en combinant un amide et un dérivé de pyridine, une réaction de cyclisation/déshydratation permet d’obtenir les d’imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines polysubstituées. De plus, nous avons brièvement appliqué ces conditions d’activation au réarrangement interrompu de type Beckmann sur des cétoximes. Une nouvelle voie synthétique pour la synthèse d’iodures d’alcyne a finalement été développée en utilisant une réaction d’homologation/élimination en un seul pot à partir de bromures benzyliques et allyliques commercialement disponibles. La présente méthode se distincte des autres méthodes disponibles dans la littérature par la simplicité des procédures réactionnelles qui ont été optimisées afin d’être applicable sur grande échelle. / The importance of natural products in the development of new drugs is undeniable. Unfortunately, the isolation and purification of those products from their natural sources provides normally very small amounts of the desired bioactive molecules. Consequently there is largely limited access to in-depth biological studies and/or to the large scale distribution of the bioactive compound. For example, the piperidine family contains a large diversity of bioactive compounds isolated from natural sources in very limited quantities (on the order of milligram scale). To address the issue, we have developed three new divergent synthetic approaches towards polysubstituted piperidines containing an activation/dearomatization sequence from a chiral and enantioenchired pyridinium salt. The first approach aims towards the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted piperidines by the use of an intermolecular arylation reaction on 2-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines. Then, we have developed a synthetic method for indolizidines and quinolizidines starting from secondary amides. The second approach leads to the formal synthesis of non-natural alkaloids via a highly diastereoselective and regioselective addition/cyclization from a common pyridinium intermediate. Finally, we have found a new approach for the synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted piperidines by the use of a directed lithiation sequence followed by either a Negishi cross-coupling reaction or a quench with an electrophilic reagent. The development of highly chemoselective and versatile transformations are crucial to organic chemists. We have issued the hypothesis that it could be possible to apply the chemoselectivity concept towards the functionalization of amides, one of the most encountered subunits in the structures of natural products. In the specific context of the thesis, the highly chemoselective transformations are realized on functionalized secondary amides. The method relies on the activation of the carbonyl function of the amide by triflic anhydride in presence of a weak base. Firstly, the activated amide can be selectively reduced to imine, aldehyde, or amine oxidation state in the presence of a poorly nucleophilic hydride source. Alternatively, a carbon nucleophile could also be employed in order to allow the synthesis of ketones or ketimines. By combining an amide with a pyridine derivative a cyclization/dehydration reaction was used for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines. Moreover, we have briefly applied the activation conditions to the interrupted Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes. We have finally developed a new synthetic pathway for iodoalkynes by using a one-pot homologation/elimination reaction from commercially available benzylic and allylic bromides. The present method is distinctively different from literature precedents by the simplicity of the reaction procedures and purifications which were optimized in order to be applied to large scale synthesis
