[pt] Diante da importância terapêutica dos 1,2,3-triazóis e da versatilidade da reação de cicloadição 1,3-dipolar de Huisgen catalisada por cobre (reação CuAAC), o presente trabalho propõe a síntese de novos 1,2,3-triazóis-1,4-dissubstituídos abordando-se o conceito de hibridização molecular que associa ao núcleo triazólico outros grupos farmacofóricos privilegiados. Os compostos sintetizados foram divididos em duas séries e avaliados quanto ao potencial anticâncer, antileishmanial e distúrbios do sistema do nervoso central. Para obtenção da primeira série de triazóis utilizou-se como precursores aril azidas preparadas a partir de anilinas e éter propargílicos obtidos a partir de fenóis. A etapa chave da reação de CuAAC levou a obtenção dos 1,2,3-triazóis-1,4-dissubstituídos com rendimentos entre 50 e 85 porcento. Os compostos obtidos foram avaliados em diferentes linhagens celulares de glioblastoma (GBM, U87), incluindo linhagens celulares humanas altamente resistentes como a GBM02, GBM95, onde os compostos 2,2- (4,4-((1,3-phenilenebis(oxi))bis(methileno))bis(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4,1diyl))dibenzaldeído e (E)-4-metil-N-(2-(4-(fenoximetil)-1H-1,2,3triazolil)benzilideno)benzenosulfonohidrazida foram os mais ativos, com IC50 de 28,7 e 30,3 uM, respectivamente. Também foram avaliados nas linhagens de câncer de pulmão e próstata (A549, 22Rv1), entretanto, os compostos analisados não apresentaram atividade frente a estas linhagens celulares. Para a síntese da segunda série de compostos híbridos, tais quais os a-hidroxi-1,2,3-triazóis e benzocromenostriazóis, utilizou-se como materiais de partida aril azidas, preparadas através de ácidos aril borônicos e álcoois propargílicos, preparados a partir de benzaldeídos comerciais. A reação CuAAC na presença de metóxido de sódio levou a obtenção dos novos a-hidroxi-1,2,3-triazóis com rendimentos entre 35 e 75 porcento. A partir dos a-hidroxi-1,2,3-triazóis obtidos, realizou-se a reação de ativação C-H catalisada por paládio para obtenção benzocromenos-triazóis com rendimentos entre 35 e 40 porcento. Esses compostos foram avaliados como inibidores do transportador de glicina (Gly T1), transportadores relacionados a distúrbios neurológicos, e o composto (2-bromofenil)(1-(4-bromofenil)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-il)metanol apresentou 42porcento de inibição e IC50 de 13 uM, sendo este o melhor resultado de toda a série. Os compostos obtidos foram avaliados quanto a atividade antileishmanial (L. amazonenses), sendo que os compostos 2,2-(4,4-((1,3- phenilenebis(oxi))bis(methileno))bis(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4,1diyl)) dibenzaldeído e (E)-4-metil-N-(2-(4-(fenoximetil)-1H-1,2,3triazolil)benzilideno) benzenosulfonohidrazida apresentaram os melhores resultados, com IC50 de 8,85 e 8,81 uM, respectivamente. Todos os compostos sintetizados foram caracterizados por técnicas de espectroscopia de ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN), infravermelho (IV) e espectrometria de massas (CG-MS). / [en] In view of the therapeutic importance of 1,2,3-triazoles and the versatility of the copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), the present work proposes the synthesis of new compounds containing 1,2,3-triazoles-1,4-disubstituted derivatives by addressing the concept of molecular hybridization to obtain various triazole-containing compounds associated with other privileged pharmacophoric groups. The compounds synthesized were divided into two series and evaluated for their anticancer potential, as antileishmanial and central nervous system disorders. In order to the first series of triazoles, aryl azides were prepared from commercial anilines and propargylic ethers were obtained from commercial phenols. The key step of the CuAAC reaction afforded of 1,2,3-triazoles-1,4-disubstituted 50 - 85 percent in yields. All compounds were evaluated in different glioblastoma cell lines (GBM), including highly resistant human cell lines such as GBM02, GBM95, in which compounds 2,2-(4,4-((1,3 henylenebis(oxy))bis(methylene))bis(1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,1-diyl))dibenzaldehyde and (E)-4-methyl-N-(2-(4-(phenoxymethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzylidene)benzenesulfonohydrazide were the most active, with IC50 of 28.7 and 30.3 uM, respectively. The triazole derivatives were also evaluated for the lung and prostate cancer strains (A549, 22Rv1), however, the compounds analyzed did not show activity in these cell lines. For the synthesis of the second series of hybrid compounds such as a-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles and benzochromenes-triazoles, aryl azides were prepared from aryl boronic acids and the propargylic alcohols from commercial benzaldehydes. The CuAAC reaction in the presence of sodium methoxide provided the novel a-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles in 35 and 75 percents yields. The a-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles, were aplied palladium-catalyzed intermolecular (C-O) cyclization reaction and provided benzocromenes-triazoles in 35-40 percent yields. These compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of glycine transporter (Gly T1), which are related to neurological disorders. Therefore, compound (2-bromophenyl) (1-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanol showed the best result with 42 percent of inhibition and IC50 of 13 uM. All compounds were avaluated for antileishmanial activity (L. amazonenses), compounds 2,2-(4,4-((1,3-phenylenebis(oxy))bis(methylene))bis(1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,1-diyl))dibenzaldehyde and (E)-4-methyl-N-(2-(4-(phenoxymethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzylidene)benzenesulfonohydrazide presented the best results, with IC50 de 8,85 e 8,81 uM, respectively. All the compounds synthesized were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques.

Distorted arenes by Scholl cyclizations, towards twisted carbon nanoribbons / Synthèse de composés aromatiques polycycliques distordus par réaction de Scholl vers des nanorubans de carbone courbés

Pradhan, Anirban 23 September 2013 (has links)
Les nanorubans de carbone présentent aujourd’hui un grand intérêt en tant que segments de graphène aux propriétés électroniques modulables. Alors que des techniques de synthèse destructives top down donnent des rubans de très grande taille, d’autres techniques constructives bottom up, par synthèse organique, pourraient former des nanorubans bien définis de géométries contrôlées. Dans cette optique, la réaction de Scholl est un outil chimique précieux car elle permet la graphénisation de longs précurseurs flexibles de type polyphénylène.Etonnamment, des structures distordues peuvent être obtenues majoritairement même si des isomères plans moins encombrés sont a priori favorisés. Nous avons ainsi montré que contre toute attente même un encombrement stérique important n’a aucun effet notoire sur la régiosélectivité et que des composés aromatiques polycycliques courbés sont préférentiellement formés. Ainsi, des structures particulièrement tordues, tel que l’hexabenzotriphénylène (HBTP) peuvent être facilement obtenues à partir de précurseurs de type polyphénylène.Après avoir découvert cette régiosélectivité inattendue, nous en avons tiré parti pour former des composés de type polyhélicène. Plusieurs tentatives de formation de l’hexaphénanthrotriphénylène (HPTP) furent infructueuses à cause de problèmes de réactivité lors des synthèses des précurseurs flexibles correspondants. En mettant au point une stratégie de synthèse versatile fondée sur un précurseur commun, plusieurs substrats flexibles de symétrie C3 ont été synthétisés puis soumis à la réaction de Scholl. Des produits de réarrangement ont cependant été obtenus au détriment des [6]hélicènes attendus. Toutefois, un HBTP fonctionnalisé par des groupements TMS a pu être efficacement préparé, ainsi qu’un hexabenzocoronène (HBC) dont l’exceptionnelle solubilité est due à la distorsion du coeur aromatique sous l’effet des groupements encombrants situés dans les régions baie.Ce fragment [5]hélicène favorisé a enfin été incorporé dans la formulation de nanorubans de carbone tordus, alors composés d’une succession de ce motif. En tant que réactions test, les synthèses du monomère et du dimère correspondants ont été effectuées avec d’excellents rendements et les deux composés entièrement caractérisés. Leurs structures ont été déterminée par diffraction de rayons X sur monocristaux et ont fourni d’intéressantes informations complémentaires quant à leurs configurations. Une stratégie plus générale a enfin été développée et optimisée pour la synthèse systématique d’oligomères plus longs de nanorubans de carbone tordus. En utilisant cette technique les trimère et tétramère correspondants ont été synthétisés et caractérisés par spectrométrie de masse. / Carbon nanoribbons are today of great interest as graphene segments with modulable electronic properties. Whilst top down techniques give giant ribbons, bottom-up organic synthesis may lead to exactly designed nanoribbons of controlled geometries. The Scholl reaction is a precious chemical tool for that purpose since it yields efficiently to the graphitization of long and flexible polyphenylene precursors.Surprisingly, twisted structures may be obtained preferentially even if less crowded isomers are also feasible. It has been shown that, against all expectation, even a strong steric hindrance has no marked effect on regioselectivity and highly twisted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are sometimes preferentially formed, whereas their flat and more symmetrical isomers are only obtained in minority. Highly twisted structures such as hexabenzotriphenylene (HBTP) may then be obtained very easily from flexible polyphenylene precursors.After discovering this unexpected regioselectivity, we used it on purpose to form polyhelicenic species. Attempts to prepared hexaphenanthrotriphenylene (HPTP) were unsuccessful due to reactivity issues when synthesizing the corresponding flexible precursors. By using a new versatile strategy leading to an advanced common precursor, several C3-symmetrical flexible substrates have been synthesized and submitted to Scholl reaction. The expected [6]helicenes were not obtained and rearranged products were formed instead, but TMS-bearing HBTP could be prepared, as well as a hexabenzocoronene (HBC) which exceptionnal solubility is due to the distortion of the aromatic core under the effect of bulky tert-butyl substituents in bay regions.The easily formed [5]helicene fragment has been incorporated in the design of twisted carbon nanoribbons that would be composed of a succession of such motifs. As a test reaction, the corresponding monomer and dimer have been synthesized with an excellent yield and fully characterized. Their X-ray structures have even been determined, giving interesting information about their configuration. A more general strategy has then been developed and optimized for the systematic synthesis of longer oligomers of twisted nanoribbons. Using this technique, the trimer and tetramer have been synthesized and characterized by mass spectrometry.

Incorporation de l'alpha-trifluorométhylalanine au sein de chaînes peptidiques : Conséquences sur l'hydrophobie, les interactions peptides-protéines et la stabilité protéolytique. / Incorporation of alpha-trifluoromethylalanine into peptides : Consequences on the hydrophobicity, peptides-proteins interactions and metabolic stability

Devillers, Emmanuelle 13 November 2014 (has links)
Dans le but de déterminer l'influence du groupement trifluorométhyle sur les propriétés physico-chimiques et biologiques de peptides fluorés, nous avons désiré synthétiser des peptides incorporant un aminoacide α-trifluorométhylé.Chaque énantiomère de l'α-Tfm-Alanine a été synthétisé de manière énantiomériquement pure et à grande échelle selon une voie synthétique efficace. Le groupement trifluorométhyle placé en position α désactivant fortement sa fonction amine, son couplage a nécessité des conditions d'activation puissantes à l'aide des anhydrides mixtes.La variation de l'hydrophobie de peptides fluorés par une méthode analytique basée sur la mesure d'indices dérivés des temps de rétention par RP-HPLC a permis de mettre en évidence l'influence considérable du groupement trifluorométhyle sur l'augmentation de l'hydrophobie.Les interactions peptides fluorés/peptides ont été étudiées dans le cadre de l'inhibition de l'agrégation du peptide Aβ42 responsable du dépôt de plaques amyloïdes chez les patients atteints de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Les premiers résultats montrent un ralentissement de l'agrégation de Aβ42 par un peptide fluoré.La digestion enzymatique par la pepsine d'un tétrapeptide fluoré indique un ralentissement considérable de sa vitesse d'hydrolyse par rapport au peptide incorporant un résidu Alanine. L'utilisation de la méthode de détection sensible par RMN 19F appelée 3-FABS a permis de mettre en évidence la reconnaissance et le clivage d'un peptide fluoré par la trypsine, caractéristiques d'un bon substrat. / In order to determine the impact of the trifluoromethyl group on the physico-chemical and biological properties of fluorinated peptides, we have decided to synthesize peptides incorporating α-trifluoromethyl amino-acids.Each enantiomer of α-Tfm-Alanine was prepared in an enantiopure form and in a large scale. The trifluoromethyle group placed in the α position deactivates its amine function so that its coupling needs harsh activation conditions to be achieved with mixed anhydride.The determination of the hydrophobicity of fluorinated peptides with an analytical method based on the measurement of indexes derived from retention times by RP-HPLC showed the dramatic influence of the trifluorométhyl group on the increase of the hydrophobicity.Fluorinated peptides/peptides interactions were studied for the inhibition of the aggregation of Aβ42 in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The first results indicate a reduction of Aβ42 aggregation by a fluorinated peptide.Pepsine digestion of a fluorinated tetrapeptide showed a dramatic reduction of the rate of its cleavage in comparision with the peptide incorporating an alanine residu. The use of the sensitive 3-FABS 19F NMR detection method showed the recognition and the cleavage of a fluorinated peptide by trypsin which definites it as a substrate for trypsin.

Synthèse électrochimique de dérivés bas-valents de samarium pour des applications électrosynthétiques et catalytiques / Electrochemical synthesis of low-valent samarium derivatives for electrosynthetic and catalytic applications

Sun, Linhao 18 December 2013 (has links)
Depuis la découverte par le Pr. Kagan en 1977 de conditions douces de synthèse du diiodure de samarium (SmI2), ce réactif est rapidement devenu un des meilleurs réducteurs chimiques utilisé en synthèse organique. Cependant, en tant que réducteur mono-électronique, il est souvent employé en quantité sur-stœchiométrique ce qui impose l’utilisation de quantité importante de réactif qui possède par ailleurs une faible solubilité dans le THF (solvant de choix pour ce réactif) ce qui impose également de trop importantes quantités de solvant. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à l’utilisation de l’électrochimie comme alternative de synthèse de SmI2 pour apporter un certain nombre de solutions aux limitations manifestes de l’utilisation de ce réactif.Dans un premier temps nous avons mis en œuvre une méthode de synthèse du SmI2 grâce à l’utilisation originale d’une anode "sacrificielle" de samarium. Le SmI2 électrogénéré, dosé et parfaitement caractérisé nous a permis de réaliser différentes réactions de formation de liaisons carbone-carbone médiées par ce réactif. Le SmI2 est produit et consommé en continu ce qui réduit considérablement les quantités de solvant habituellement exigées. Cette approche a également permis de préparer et de caractériser d’autres dérivés divalents de samarium souvent plus difficiles à synthétiser. Nous avons ensuite exploré la possibilité d’exploiter cette approche électrochimique pour la mise en place d’une nouvelle procédure catalytique en SmI2. Après avoir mis en évidence l’efficacité de la réduction électrochimique de sels trivalents de samarium en dérivés divalents grâce à l’emploi d’une cathode de samarium, nous avons établi les conditions opératoires d’une nouvelle procédure catalytique en SmI2 assistée par électrochimie évitant ainsi tout additif métallique. Cette approche catalytique a été appliqué avec succès dans différentes réactions de couplage. / Since the seminal reports of Kagan, dedicated to the preparation of samarium diiodides and its usefulness in organic synthesis, SmI2 became one of the most important reducing agents available to the synthetic organic chemist, promoting a multitude of radical and anionic reactions. However, the major limitations according to its preparation remains the concentration of SmI2 in THF (around 0.1M) and the inert atmosphere needed during its manipulation. Therefore, the majority of organic reactions mediated by SmI2 as reductive reagent require a stoichiometric amount or even a large excess.We report herein a new electrochemical method to prepare solutions of samarium diiodide in THF. The simple electrolysis of a samarium rod provides a rapid and straightforward in situ synthesis of SmI2. The electrogenerated complex catalyzes various C-C bond formations. The reagent is produced continuously and leads to efficient organic electrosynthesis with significantly smaller amounts of solvent than usually required. Moreover, samarium metal has been then used for the first time as electrode material to perform an efficient and versatile SmI2 catalytic system assisted by electrochemistry. The established electrocatalytic procedure that excludes any metal additives was successfully applied in various transformations mediated by this useful reagent.

Recherche de nouvelles réactions de couplage par criblage immuno-enzymatique / Discovery of coupling reactions using an immunoassay screening

Kolodych, Sergii 12 September 2013 (has links)
La recherche de nouvelles réactions est un des enjeux fondamentaux de la chimie organique. En dehors de l’approche classique basée sur la conception d’une réaction en s’appuyant sur les propriétés chimiques des substrats, une nouvelle approche utilisant le criblage systématique de combinaisons aléatoires de fonctions réactives a été récemment adoptée par plusieurs groupes. Cette stratégie nécessite un outil analytique permettant de cribler un très grand nombre de réactions par jour et d’identifier les meilleures combinaisons conduisant à la formation de produits intéressants. Les travaux de thèse présentés dans ce mémoire s’inscrivent dans le contexte de l’utilisation des techniques de dosages immuno-enzymatiques (ELISA) comme outil de criblage pour la recherche de nouvelles réactions de couplage. Dans un premier temps le criblage de 2688 combinaisons de fonctions réactives et de catalyseurs choisies au hasard a été effectué. Ce criblage a permit de mettre en évidence deux nouveaux couplages en présence de sels de cuivre : une réaction entre les thiourées et les phénols conduisant à la formation des isourées et une réaction entre les N-hydroxythiourées et les alcynes conduisant à la formation des thiazole-2-imines. Dans un second temps le criblage de 2816 combinaisons de fonctions sélectionnées, cette fois-ci, de façon rationnelle a été effectué. Ce criblage a visé la découverte de nouvelles cycloadditions [3+2] répondant aux critères de la chimie « click ». Ainsi l’utilisation de dosage immuno-enzymatique a été étendue à l’optimisation des nouvelles réactions découvertes ainsi qu’à l’évaluation de leurs cinétique, chimiosélectivité et biocompatibilité. Près de 3000 tests complémentaires effectuées sur les « hits » issus du criblage primaire ont ainsi permit de mettre en évidence 4 nouvelles réactions de couplage dont une nouvelle réaction « click » : la cycloaddition sydnone-alcyne catalysée au cuivre (CuSAC). Dans la dernière partie de ce manuscrit les études plus détaillées sur la réaction CuSAC ont été effectuées, notamment l’identification de la structure du produit de couplage et l’étendue du champ d’application de cette réaction. Enfin, l’aspect « click » de la réaction CuSAC a été illustré par l’application de cette réaction au marquage d’une protéine. / Discovery of new reactions is one of the fundamental goals in organic chemistry. In addition to the traditional approach to reaction discovery, consisting in designing a reaction on the basis of known chemical properties of reagents, new approaches based on the screening of random combinations of reactive functions and catalysts have been recently developed. The main prerequisite of this strategy is an analytical tool allowing screening of a big number of reactions per day and identifying combinations leading to the formation of unanticipated products. In the work presented herein a high-throughput immunoassay screening has been used for the discovery of new coupling reactions. In the first part of this work a screening of 2688 combinations of randomly chosen reactive functions and catalysts was carried out. This screening led to the discovery of two copper-promoted coupling reactions: a reaction between thioureas and phenols leading to the formation of isoureas through desulfurization; and a reaction between N-hydroxythioureas and alkynes leading to the formation of thiazole-2-imines. In the second part of the work a screening of 2816 combinations of rationally designed chemical functions and catalysts was carried out. This screening was focused on the discovery of catalytic [3+2] cycloadditions that comply with the standards of “click” chemistry. In this study, the use of immunoassay screening was extended to optimize new reactions and to evaluate their kinetics, chemoselectivity and biocompatibility. Therefore, around 3000 complementary tests were carried out on the hits, identified in the primary screening. This allowed the discovery of 3 new coupling reactions and one new “click” reaction: a copper-catalyzed sydnone-alkyne cycloaddition (CuSAC). The last part of the work was focused on detailed studies of the CuSAC reaction. Identification of the structure of the coupling product and substrate scope of this reaction was carried out. Finally, the applicability of the CuSAC reaction for bioconjugation was demonstrated by an example of protein labeling.

Nouveaux catalyseurs recyclables pour les réactions de formation de liaisons carbone-carbone et carbone-azote / New recyclable catalysts for the formations of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds

Wang, Dong 26 September 2014 (has links)
Les catalyseurs supportés sur des dendrimères et nanoparticules magnétiques acquièrent actuellement une importance accrue dans le contexte de la chimie verte et du développement durable car ils sont séparés facilement des produits de réaction par filtration ou à l’aide d’un aimant et recyclables. Dans cet esprit, la thèse a été dédiée à la synthèse, à la caractérisation et aux applications catalytiques de catalyseurs moléculaires, nano-et dendritiques immobilisés impliquant le ruthénium, le cuivre et le palladium. Les catalyseurs magnétiquement recyclables de ruthenium (II), de cuivre (I) et des nanoparticules de palladium ont produit d’excellentes performances en terme d’activité, de stabilité et de recyclabilité pour les réactions de cycloaddition entre les alcynes et les azotures et les réactions de couplage croisé carbone-carbone. Enfin, la synthèse de complexes mono-et polymétalliques du palladium contenant les ligands 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole a également été réalisée et leurs proprietiés catalytiques ont été étudiées. / Catalysts based on dendrimers and magnetic nanoparticles are becoming increasing utilized in the context of green and sustainable chemistry, because they are easily separated by precipitation or by using asimple magnet respectively, and they are recyclable. In this spirit, the thesis has been devoted to the synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles-immobilized molecular, nano-and dendritic catalysts involving Ru, Cu and Pd. Magnetically recyclable ruthenium(II) and Cu(I) complexes and Pd nanoparticles have provided excellent catalytic performances in terms of activity, stability and recyclability, using alkyne-azide cycloaddition and carbon-carbon cross coupling reactions. The synthesis of mono-and polymetallic palladium complexes containing the 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole ligand or nonabranch-derived ligands has also been carried out, and their catalytic properties in coupling reactions has been studied

Reductive And Metathetic Coupling Reactions Mediated By Group (IV) Metal Alkoxides

Kumar, Akshai A S 03 1900 (has links)
Several organic transformations are mediated by group(IV) metal alkoxides. The reactivity is based on the basic nature of alkoxide group, Lewis acidic nature of the group(IV) metals, insertion of unsaturated molecules into the M-OR bond and the reduction of M(OR)4 to low valent species. The thesis deals with insertion reactions and the reductive and metathetic coupling reactions mediated by group(IV) metal alkoxides. Titanium(IV) alkoxides and zirconium(IV) alkoxides promote insertion and metathesis of aryl isocyanates. It was observed that aryl isocyanates underwent double insertion in addition to mono insertion. At room temperature, head to tail double insertion is observed whereas at elevated temperatures, head to head double insertion occurred leading to metathesis. The reaction has also been extended to metathesis between heterocumulenes and heteroalkenes. Titanium and zirconium carry out these reactions with different efficiencies. The reasons for these differences have been sought through computational methods. New organic transformations promoted by group(IV) metal alkoxides that are reduced with Grignard reagents and silanes have been explored. Grignard reagents do show reactivity towards imines in the presence of group(IV) metal alkoxides. The reactions have been studied with stoichiometric and catalytic amounts of titanium(IV) isopropoxide and are shown to follow different pathways. Isotope labeling studies indicate that alkylated products formed in stoichiometric reactions arise due to metal-olefin intermediates. However in catalytic reactions, a metal-alkyl complex is responsible for alkylation. Titanium(IV) alkoxides when used in combination with silanes such as phenylsilane bring about the reductive coupling of imines. One of the interesting features is that this pinacol type coupling is diastereospecific.

Design and Development of Metal-free Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions for the Construction of C-S, C-O and C-C bonds

Yogesh, S January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The thesis entitled “Design and Development of Metal-Free Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions for the construction of C-S, C-O and C-C bonds” is divided into three Chapters. Chapter 1 is presented in five parts, which reveals the cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategies for the C–S bond forming reactions through C–H functionalization strategy using heterocyclic thiols and thiones. Chapter 2 presents tetrabutyl ammonium iodide (TBAI) catalyzed chemoselective α-aminoxylation of ketones with N-hydroxyimidates using TBHP as oxidant under cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategy. Chapter 3 describes a transition metal-free Minisci reaction for the acylation of isoquinolines, quinolines, and quinoxaline. Chapter 1 Iodine Promoted C-S Bond Forming Reactions using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant Chapter 1 reveals the utility of cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions for the formation of C–S bonds by employing C–H functionalization strategies.1 The direct functionalization of C–H bonds to form C–C and C–X (N, O, S and P) bonds using metal-free reaction conditions is an interesting research topic in recent years.2 Use of dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant is emerging as one of the research topics of great interest and utility.3 Heterocyclic thiols and thiones are important precursors for synthesizing a variety of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds.4 Therefore it is useful to develop CDC reactions using heterocyclic thiols and thiones as precursors. In this chapter, we describe CDC reactions of heterocyclic thiols and thiones for the sulfenylation of ketones, aldehydes, α, β unsaturated methyl ketone derivatives, pyrazolones, enaminones and imidazoheterocycles using DMSO as an oxidant Chapter 1: Part 1 Iodine Promoted Regioselective α-Sulfenylation of Carbonyl Compounds using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, a rare regioselective C–H sulfenylation of carbonyl compounds with heterocyclic thiones and thiols have been described using iodine and dimethyl sulfoxide as reagents. Thus, dimethyl sulfoxide (as an oxidant) and stoichiometric amount of iodine have been used for the sulfenylation of ketones using heterocyclic thiones. Whereas the sulfenylation of ketones with heterocyclic thiols required catalytic amount of iodine. This protocol offers a rare regioselective sulfenylation of (i) methyl ketones in the presence of more reactive α-CH2 or α-CH groups, and (ii) aldehydes under CDC method. A few representative examples are highlighted in Scheme 1.5 The application of this methodology has been demonstrated by synthesizing a few precursors for Julia-Kocienski olefination intermediates. Scheme 1. Iodine promoted rare regioselective α-sulfenylation of ketones and aldehydes Siddaraj , Y.; Prabhu, K. R. Org. Lett. 2016, 18, 6090 Chapter 1: Part 2 Regioselective Sulfenylation of α’-CH3 or α’-CH2 Groups of α, β Unsaturated Ketones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, an interesting regioselective sulfenylation of α’-CH3 or α’-CH2 groups of α, β unsaturated ketones using dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant and catalytic amount of aq. HI (20 mol %) as an additive has been described. This eco-friendly method uses readily available, inexpensive I2 or HI and DMSO. This methodology exhibits a high regioselectivity without forming Michael addition product in the presence of strong acid such as aq. HI or iodine, which is difficult to achieve under cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) conditions. Current methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope. A few examples are shown in Scheme 2.6 Scheme 2. HI and DMSO promoted α’-sulfenylation of α, β unsaturated ketones Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. (Manuscript submitted) Chapter 1: Part 3 Iodine Catalyzed Sulfenylation of Pyrazolones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, a sustainable and efficient strategy for the sulfenylation of pyrazolones has been described using metal-free conditions by employing DMSO as an oxidant and iodine as a catalyst. A variety of heterocyclic thiols, heterocyclic thiones and disulfides undergo C–H functionalization reaction with pyrazolone derivatives furnishing the corresponding sulfenylated products in short time. Most of the products are isolated in pure form without column purification. A few examples are presented in Scheme 3.7 Scheme 3. Iodine promoted sulfenylation of pyrazolones Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2017, 15, 5191 Chapter 1: Part 4 Iodine-Catalyzed Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction: Sulfenylation of Enaminones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, synthesis of poly functionalized aminothioalkenes has been described using substoichiometric amount of iodine and DMSO as an oxidant. This metal-free methodology enables a facile sulfenylation of enaminones with heterocyclic thiols and thiones.

The development of novel myosin inhibitors

Lawson, Christopher Peter Abiodun Tevi January 2011 (has links)
This thesis describes a structure activity relationship (SAR) study on the recently discovered small molecule tool blebbistatin (S)-21 with particular emphasis on the development of novel synthetic protocols suitable for the rapid synthesis of libraries of blebbistatin analogues. These analogues are potentially of use as novel myosin inhibitors Chapter 1 introduces the concept of chemical biology with particular emphasis on chemical genetics. This approach has rekindled the search for new chemical tools for the investigation of biological systems. The success of blebbistatin (S)-21, which was identified in a chemical genetic study, as a research tool was also discussed. The link between several myosin classes and genetic diseases such as coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease, deafness, dermatitis, familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Griscelli disease and ulcerative colitis indicate that potent inhibitors which show selectivity towards specific myosin isoforms may be of great value as tools for the study of these conditions. The plan for the SAR study around (S)-21 was outlined. Chapter 2 describes the studies undertaken to develop an efficient synthetic route to N1-alkyl analogues of (S)-21 suitable for the parallel synthesis of chemical collections. These studies culminated in the synthesis of an intermediate (S)-66 from which novel N1-alkyl analogues were synthesised. The biological evaluation of these N1-alkyl analogues was discussed. Chapter 3 describes the development of a protocol suitable for the parallel synthesis of collections of N1-aryl analogues of (S)-21 via the intermediate 66. The application of this protocol to the synthesis of a collection of racemic N1-aryl and heteroaryl analogues of (S)-21 and their biological evaluation was presented. Chapter 4 describes the successful rational design and synthesis of a novel fused thiophene ring containing inhibitor of myosin II. The structure of this compound was proposed by modelling of the existing co-crystal structure of (S)-21 bound to the metastable state of Dictyostelium discoideum myosin II (S1dC) and sought to optimise the π-π stacking interaction displayed by (S)-21 with the tyrosine 261 residue within its binding site. The biological evaluation of this novel analogue was discussed. In Chapter 5 the studies conducted to investigate the contribution of ring-C to the binding affinity of (S)-21 were described. The development of alternate routes to (S)-21, in an attempt to avoid difficulties experienced during the synthesis of some analogues of (S)-21, are described. The synthesis and biological investigation of the fluorescent dye PPBA whose binding site has been suggested to overlap with that of (S)-21 was also reported.

Synthesis and Studies of Dendritic Poly (Ether Imine) Boronates and Cholesteryl-Functionalized Mesogens

Prabhat, Kumar January 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Synthesis and Studies of Dendritic Poly(Ether Imine) Boronates and Cholesteryl-Functionalized Mesogens SYNOPSIS Dendrimers are hyperbranched synthetic macromolecules having branches-upon-branches structures, high molecular weights, globular shapes and monodispersities. Dendrimers possess a large number of modifiable functional groups at their peripheries. Initial efforts were largely concerned with the synthesis, design and development of new dendrimers. Exploring the chemical, biological and material applicability of these macromolecules are relevant to current interests, as a result of the unique structural features of dendrimers. Incorporation of transition metals and organic moieties at the peripheries of the dendrimers was studied to determine their efficacies in catalysis. Evolution of dendritic effects was observed in few instances, that were non-linear in nature. On the other hand, dendritic peripheries were also utilized to study mesogenic properties in liquid crystals. Chapter 1 of the Thesis gives an overview of the types of dendrimers, its structural features and their application in catalysis and as liquid crystalline materials. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis of a new type of poly(ethyl ether imine) dendrimer, having nitrogen as a branching unit, ethylene moiety as the spacer and an oxygen as the connecting linker. Synthesis, characterization, and studies of the photophysical properties of these dendrimers are described in this chapter. The molecular structure of second generation dendrimer is shown in Figure 1. Synthesis of this dendrimer was initiated using 2,2'-oxy-bis(ethan-1¬amine) as the core. The reaction sequence of two alternate nucleophilic substitutions and two alternate reductions, involving ethyl bromoacetate and bromoacetonitrile as monomers was employed in the synthesis of the dendrimer. The formation of dendrimers having ether linkage and tertiary amines as branching unit was established by spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. A number of functional groups, such as, acid, alcohol, amine, ester and nitrile are present at the peripheries of each generation the dendrimers that open up the possibilities for further studies. Carboxylic acid terminated poly(ethyl ether imine) dendrimers are substituted iminodiacetic acids, belonging to the class of polyaminocarboxylic acid. Methyl iminodiacetic acid boronates with NB coordination have emerged as an excellent substitute for unstable boronic acids. Upon increasing the steric bulk on the nitrogen moiety, the hydrolytic stability of the boronates to a base-catalyzed hydrolysis is increased. Combining the structure of carboxylic acid terminated dendrimer and the stability of the dendritic boronates, such dendritic iminodiacetic acids were reacted with arylboronic acids to prepare bis-and tetrakis-boronates (Figure 2). Kinetic hydrolytic studies of boronates were conducted to assess the stabilities of the newly synthesized dendritic boronates. From the studies it was observed that the tetrakis-boronate was ~20 times more stable in comparison with dimeric and monomeric boronates (Figure 3). Subsequent to synthesis and hydrolytic stability studies, C-C bond-forming Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions were conducted. A comparison of the reactivities among monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric arylboronates in C-C bond-forming reactions showed a higher reactivity of monomeric and dimeric boronates, than the tetrameric aryl boronate to construct ter-and tetra-aryl in one-pot iterative manner (Figure 4). Chapter 3 of this Thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of dendritic boronates and studies of their hydrolytic stability in Suzuki-Miyaura cross¬coupling reactions to construct ter-and tetraaryls. Figure 4. Synthesis of (a) ter-(6) and (b) tetra-aryls (7) by following one-pot iterative cross-coupling reactions. Step-wise iterative synthesis of dendrimer allows a uniform branching throughout the structure. The first and second generation poly(ether imine) dendrimer series, having hydroxyl groups at their peripheries were chosen for further modification. A versatile mesogenic group, namely, cholesterol was covalently attached at the peripheries of the dendrimers with succinic moiety as linker, so as to install 4 and 8 cholesteryl moieties at the peripheries of the dendrimers (Figure 5), that were characterized by H, C NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis, so as to confirm their structural homogeneities. Figure 5. Molecular structures of the first and second generation dendritic mesogens. Subsequent to synthesis and characterization, liquid crystalline properties of all the dendritic mesogens was assessed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. In POM study, broken fan or leaf like texture revealed the lamellar arrangement, whereas homeotropic appearance of texture on surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) coated substrate indicated the lamellar nature of G1-Et-(OCS)4, G1-Pr-(OCS)4 and G2-Pr-(OCS)8 (Figure 6). From DSC studies, the change in enthalpy was found to increase with increase in generation and change in enthalpy per mesogenic unit was found to be ~ -1 1-2 kJ mol, which indicated the mesophase arrangement to be lamellar. Decrease in the length of spacer dendritic backbone and increase in the generation increased the isotropization temperature of the dendritic liquid crystals. Variable temperature XRD studies were undertaken to characterize the mesophase property. Two sharp peaks in small angle region and a diffused halo in wide angle region in XRD pattern of the material suggested the smectic A (SmA) liquid crystalline arrangement of G1-Et-(OCS)4, G1-Pr-(OCS)4 and G2-Pr-(OCS)8 (Figure 7). Figure 6. POM textures of (a) G1-Et-(OCS)4 at 136 oC; (b) G2-Et-(OCS)8 at 129 oC; (c) G1-Pr-(OCS)4 at 92 oC; (d) G2-Pr-(OCS)8 at 118 oC and (e) transition temperatures for dendromesogens (DSC second heating cycle, heating-cooling rate = 10 oC min-1). Figure 7. Small angle XRD profiles of: (a) G1-Pr-(OCS)4 and (b) G2-Et-(OCS)8 at 60 o C (black), 150 oC (red) and 180 oC (green), (Insets: Lorentzean fit of wide angle peak). The second generation ethyl-linker dendrimer G2-Et-(OCS)8 exhibited a layered structure with a superimposed in-plane modulation (SmÃ), the length of which corresponded to a rectangular column width. Chapter 4 describes the synthesis, characterization and studies of mesophase property and fluorescence property of cholesterol functionalized homologous pairs of the PETIM dendritic liquid crystals. Peripheral functionalization of the dendrimers provides an easy access to dendritic liquid crystalline materials. The covalent functionalization was extended further with the dendrimers for both the series, so as to have 2, 4, 8 and 16 cholesteryl groups at the peripheries of 0, 1, 2 and 3 generation dendrimers, respectively, having succinic amide and phthalic ester functionalities for 1, 2 and 3 generation dendrimers with 4, 8 and 16 cholesteryl groups. Molecular structures of third generation dendrimers are shown in Figure 8. Figure 8. Molecular structures of third generation G3-Pr-(NHCS)16 and G3-Pr-(OCP)16. Subsequent to synthesis and characterization, mesophase property was studied through POM, DSC and XRD techniques. In POM study, a birefringent texture was observed in heating and cooling cycles. Leaflet, broken fan or bâtonnet like texture suggested the layered arrangement of the molecules (Figure 9). In DSC studiues, it was observed that the amide-linked dendrimers showed higher glass transition and isotropization temperatures than that of ester-linked dendrimers within the same generation irrespective of the back-bone of the dendrimer. Succinic moiety linked dendrimers showed lower glass transition temperature than that of phthalic moiety linked dendrimers and consequently, larger mesophase range. The change in enthalpy for isotropization was found to increase with increase in generation, whereas change in -1 enthalpy per mesogenic unit was 1-2 kJ mol, indicative of a layered arrangement in the mesophase. Figure 9. POM textures (20x) of (a) G3-Pr-(NHCS)16 at 90 oC; (b) G3-Pr-(OCS)16 at 90 ooo C; (c) PG1-(NHCS)4 at 134 C; (d) G3-Pr-(OCP)16 at 98 C and (e) transition temperatures for dendromesogens (second cycle, heating-cooling rate = 10 oC min-1). Appearance of two sharp peaks in small angle region and a wide halo in wide angle region in XRD pattern supported lamellar mesophase property of the material (Figure 10). On decreasing the temperature, increase in the layer thickness also suggested the smectic A arrangement of the molecules except third generation phthalate derivative G3-Pr-(OCP)16, which showed rectangular columnar mesophase. For all the dendromesogens, the layer thickness increased with the increase in generation. Upon protonation, the first generation dendrimer showed a change in mesophase from simple smectic A to modulated smectic A with decrease in layer thickness. The change in liquid crystal property of the dendromesogens from lamellar to columnar mesophase by changing the linker of the mesogen is unknown so far in the dendrimer liquid crystals. Chapter 5 gives details of synthesis, characterization and mesophase property study of ester-and amide-linked dendritic liquid crystals. Overall, the Thesis establishes a synthetic methodology for the synthesis of a new homologous series of poly(ether imine) dendrimers with ethyl spacer; synthesis of dendritic boronates and their studies in cross-coupling reactions through in-situ slow release of boronic acid; hydrolytic stability study showed higher stability of dendritic boronates which was used in one-pot iterative cross-coupling reactions to construct ter-and tetra-aryls. decrease in linker length in dendrimer backbone modified the thermal, as well as, mesophase behavior of the dendritic liquid crystals; change in the linker functionality from ester to amide changed the thermal behavior of dendritic liquid crystals; a switching of mesophase property from lamellar to columnar was observed by changing the rigidity of the linker from succinate to phthalate without changing the linker length.
