A presente Tese contém uma revisão bibliográfica sobre reações de Diels-Alder entre compostos carbonílicos e carboxílicos α,β-insaturados de cadeia aberta e ciclopentadieno. Várias reações novas são relatadas, tais como: 1). Oxidação de α-sulfenil tioésteres aos α-sulfinil tio ésteres correspondentes. 2). α-Alquilações de metilssulfinil-acetato de etila. 3). Reações de Pummerer de α-sulfinil tioésteres. 4). β-Eliminação de α-sulfinil tioésteres. 5). Reações de Diels-Alder dos tioésteres α,β-insaturados com ciclopentadieno, em ausência e em presença de catalisadores. Os resultados obtidos são discutidos e comparados com os descritos na literatura para reações com compostos semelhantes. Assim, nas reações de Pummerer, eles contribuíram para o esclarecimento dos mecanismos propostos. Nas reações de β-eliminação de α-sulfinil tioésteres, a estereoquímica mostrou-se concordante com a de α-sulfinil ésteres e α-sulfinil cetonas. Nas reações de Diels-Alder de tioésteres α,β-insaturados, foi observada uma estereosseletividade mais acentuada, tanto em ausência, como em presença de catalisadores, em comparação com os ésteres análogos. Foram isolados, identificados e caracterizados vinte e quatro compostos inéditos, entre os quais, cinco α-sulfenil tioésteres, seis α-sulfinil tioésteres, três α-sulfenil tioésteres α-substituídos, três tioésteres α,β-insaturados e sete tio ésteres norbornênicos. / This Thesis presents a literature review of the Diels-Alder reactions of open chained α,β-unsaturated carbonyl and carboxyl compounds with cyclopentadiene. Some new reactions are described, as follows: 1). Oxidation of α-sulfenyl-thioesters to the corresponding α-sulfinyl-thioesters. 2). α-Alkylations of ethyl methylsulfinylthioacetate. 3). Pummerer rearrangements of α-sulfinyl-thioesters. 4). (3-Eliminations of α-sulfinyl-thioesters. 5). Diels-Alder reactions of α,β-unsaturated thioesters with cyclopentadiene, in the absence and in the presence of catalysts. The results are discussed and compared with those described in the literature for reactions of the corresponding esters and ketones. In the case of the Pummerer reactions, the results contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms poroposed in the literature. In the β-elimination reactions of α-sulfinyl-thioesters, the stereochemistry showed to be in accordance with that for α-sulfinyl-esters and α-sulfinyl-ketones. In the Diels-Alder reactions of α,β-unsaturated thioesters, an enhanced stereoselectivity was observed, in comparison with the analogue esters, in the absence, as well as in the presence of catalysts. Twenty four new compounds were isolated, identified and characterized: eight α-sulfenyl-thioesters, six α-sulfinylthioesters, three α,β-unsaturated thioesters and seven norbornenic thioesters.

Les tétrazoles ont une place importante dans la chimie médicinale contemporaine par leurs caractéristiques spatiales et électroniques uniques. Leur haute teneur en azote leur confère également des qualités requises dans le développement de substances explosives et de haute énergie. Le développement de nouveaux outils synthétiques pour les créer prend donc ici tout son sens. Dans cet ouvrage, il est tout d’abord question d’une nouvelle méthode de synthèse qui génère des tétrazoles bicycliques en conditions douces par l’entremise d’azidonitriles aliphatiques séparés par trois ou quatre atomes de carbone (effet de proximité) et d’acides de Lewis. De plus, cette méthode de synthèse présente une réaction tandem qui génère des tétrazoles oxabicycliques 1,5-dialkylés via une cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire diastéréosélective à partir d’azidoacétals ou d’azidocétals arborant un azoture proximal. La réaction s’effectue dans le nitrométhane de 0 °C à la température ambiante avec du TMSCN et est promue par une variété d’acides de Lewis dont le BF3OEt2. Les aspects mécanistiques de la réaction (l’ouverture des acétals, l’équilibre entre les éthers de cyanhydrine, la cycloaddition 1,3-dipolaire diastéréosélective et le réarrangement de Boyer-Schmidt-Aubé) ainsi que les paramètres réactionnels (solvants, acides de Lewis, stœchiométrie, sources de cyanure, etc.) seront en outre abordés. Ensuite, le motif de tétrazole oxabicyclique a été l’objet de diversifications, de fonctionnalisations et de transformations afin d’en valoriser l’utilité. Des réactions d’alkylations, d’azoturations radicalaires, de bêta-éliminations et de diversifications de la chaîne latérale ont été étudiées. De ces mêmes motifs de tétrazoles, la synthèse de tétrazoles azabicycliques et celle de morpholines 2,6-polysubstituées ont aussi été investiguées. La synthèse d’un sel de tétrazolium et l’alkylation de 5-tétrazolyllithiums ont aussi fait l’objet d’études préliminaires. Enfin, une étude théorique en DFT a été effectuée pour mieux comprendre l’équilibre tétrazole-azidoazométhine sur des motifs de types benzo- et pyrido- diazidodiazines parents à la 6-azidotétrazolo[5,1-a]phthalazine, un métabolite toxique du Gymnodinium breve (Ptychodiscus brevis, aussi actuellement connu sous le nom de Karenia brevis). Les aspects thermodynamiques, les états de transition, les orbitales HOMO, les cartes de potentiels d’ionisation locaux, les cartes de densité de la LUMO, les effets de solvant et certains paramètres permettant d’évaluer l’aromaticité (indices de Bird, ordres de liaison minimaux de Jug, indices HOMA et NICS) ont été considérés dans l’étude. Le constat a été que certaines des analyses théoriques peuvent constituer de bons outils prédictifs, particulièrement avec des considérations thermodynamiques, mais que cette approche a aussi ses limites qui sont principalement dues aux incertitudes inhérentes aux calculs théoriques. / Tetrazoles have an important place in contemporary medicinal chemistry due to their unique spatial and electronic characteristics. Their high nitrogen content also gives them the qualities required for the development of explosive and high energy substances. The development of new synthetic tools to create them takes here all its meaning. Therefore, in this work, a new synthesis method that generates bicyclic tetrazoles under mild conditions using aliphatic azidonitriles separated by three or four carbon atoms (proximity effect) and Lewis acids will first be discussed. In addition, a tandem reaction which generates 1,5-dialkylated oxabicyclic tetrazoles via a diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition from azidoacetals or azidoketals bearing a proximal azide will also be disclosed. The reaction is carried out in nitromethane at 0 °C to room temperature with TMSCN and is promoted by a variety of Lewis acids including BF3OEt2. The mechanistic aspects of the reaction (acetal opening, equilibrium between cyanohydrin ethers, diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and Boyer-Schmidt-Aubé rearrangement) as well as the reaction parameters (solvents, Lewis acids, stoichiometry, cyanide sources, etc.) will be discussed. Furthermore, the oxabicyclic tetrazole unit was involved in diversifications, functionalizations and transformations to enhance its utility. Reactions of alkylations, radical azidations, beta-eliminations and diversifications of the side chain were applied. From these same tetrazole units, the synthesis of azabicyclic tetrazoles and that of 2,6-polysubstituted morpholines was also investigated. The synthesis of a tetrazolium salt and the alkylation of 5 tetrazolyllithiums were also the subject of preliminary studies. Finally, a theoretical DFT study was carried out to have a better understanding of the tetrazole-azidoazomethine equilibrium on benzo- and pyrido- diazidodiazines similar to 6 azidotetrazolo [5,1-a] phthalazine, a toxic metabolite from Gymnodinium breve (Ptychodiscus brevis, actually known as Karenia brevis). Thermodynamic aspects, transition states, HOMO orbitals, local ionization potential maps, LUMO density maps, solvent effects, and some parameters to evaluate the aromaticity (Bird index, Jug minimum bond order, HOMA index and NICS) were considered in the study. It has been noted that some of the theoretical analysis can be good predictive tools, particularly with thermodynamic considerations, but they also have their limits, which are mainly due to the uncertainties inherent in the theoretical calculations.
