Nosso grupo de pesquisa vem se dedicado, há vários anos, ao estudo das reações de ciclização eletrofílica de substratos insaturados que contêm um nucleófilo interno (oxigênio ou nitrogênio). Este trabalho teve como objetivo obter derivados de éteres cíclicos de cinco e seis membros diferentemente funcionalizados. Compostos 1,3-dicarbonílicos e ß-hidróxi carbonílicos, contendo dupla ligação em posição apropriada, foram submetidos à reação de ciclização mediada tanto por iodo quanto por dimetildioxirana. De maneira semelhante, ß-enamino ésteres alquenilados foram submetidos à reação de iodociclização visando à síntese de diidropirróis, pirrolidínas e tetraidroindóis. Os heterociclos funcionalizados com iodo foram submetidos à reação de desidroiodação, promovida por base, fornecendo os correspondentes produtos de eliminação. / Our research group has been studying, for several years, eletrophilic cyclization reactions of unsaturated substrates bearing internal nucleophiles such as oxygen or nitrogen. This work aimed to obtain five and six membered cyclic ether derivatives differently functionalized. 1,3-Dicarbonyl and ß-hydroxy carbonyl compounds bearing double bonds suitably positioned were submitted to cyclization reaction mediated by either iodine or dimethyldioxirane. Similarly, alkenyl substituted ß-enamino esters were also prepared and submitted to iodo-cyclization reaction leading to dihydropyrrols, to pyrrolidines or to tetrahydroindols. The heterocyclic compounds bearing iodine were submitted to the corresponding dehydroiodination reaction mediated by base, furnishing elimination products

Plus de la moitié des médicaments mis sur le marché entre 1981 et 2014 sont des produits naturels ou des dérivés. Ainsi, les structures des produits naturels sont une excellente source d'inspiration pour la découverte de nouveaux médicaments. L'introduction de cette thèse met en lumière le rôle important joué par les produits naturels en chimie médicinale. De plus, la préparation de produits naturels peut déboucher sur le développement de nouvelles méthodes de synthèse. Ainsi, au cours de cette thèse une approche synthétique de plusieurs produits naturels a été réalisée. Ces composés présentent des motifs clés tels que des amino-alcools 1,3, des diamines 1,3 ou un tétrahydropyrane. Les études synthétiques réalisées comprennent le développement de nouvelles méthodes pour accéder à ces structures. D'autre part, une réaction de Heck permettant l'accès à des précurseurs de tri-aryl éthylènes a été mise au point. / It has been estimated that more than half of all approved drugs, from the period 1981 to 2014, are either natural products or their derivatives. This, thus, indicates that natural products (NP), together with natural product derived and natural product inspired structures are significant as sources for potential leads towards the discovery of new drugs. The introduction of this thesis thereby highlights the importance of natural products in the field of drug discovery. In addition, the introduction emphasizes on the importance of natural products as a field of research. This is as the synthesis of natural products can result in the development of new synthetic methods which can then be applied to a broader range of applications across the field of chemistry. This new information, thus, bridges a gap in the scientific knowledge and allows for progress in science. Therefore the content of this thesis describes the syntheses and development of new synthetic methods towards bioactive natural products containing 1,3-amino alcohol, 1.3-diamine, THP-ring as well as tri-aryl ethylene unit which represent the key themes of (+)-negamycin (Chapter 1), (-)-cernuine and (+)-cermizine D (Chapter 2), enigmazole A (Chapter 3) and tamoxifen (Chapter 4), respectively.

Au cours de nos différents travaux sur les réactions de cyclisations électrophiles diastéréosélectives 5-endo d’hydroxamates insaturés par l’hexafluorophosphate de bromo biscollidine (HBB). Nous avons constaté la formation d’imidates cycliques et nous avons mis en évidence un réarrangement lactames-imidates. Une fragmentation de type Beckman aboutissant à la formation d’une famille de cyano énones, anisi qu’une nouvelle formation d’imidates a été étudiée.Dans l’introduction générale, nous avons rapporté différents exemples d’halolactonisations électrophiles 5-endo et 5-exo, énantio et diastériosélectives rapportés dans la littérature, ainsi que les facteurs influençant la régio et la diastereoselectivité de ces cyclisations.Dans le premier chapitre, après un rappel bibliographique sur les différentes synthèses de lactames à partir de différents substrats par cyclisation électrophile, nous avons présenté nos propres travaux.Le traitement d’hydroxamates β, γ−éthyléniques γ-disubstitués avec de l’hexafluorophosphate de bromo bis(sym-collidine) dans du dichlorométhane aboutit à la formation de lactames et d’imidates cycliques. On a pu confirmer par des études RMN, l’existence d’un réarrangement lactame-imidate cyclique.Dans une deuxième partie, nous avons étudié la diastereosélectivité de la cyclisation. A cet effet, des hydroxamates optiquement actifs ont été synthétisés via la méthodologie développée par Evans. Dans tous les cas, un seul produit, un bromo-imidate cyclique optiquement actif est obtenu.Dans le deuxième chapitre, l’étude de la réaction de cyclisation des hydroxamates β, γ−éthyléniques γ-monosubstitués avec HBB, nous a permis de mettre en évidence une fragmentation de type Beckmann. Cette dernière est améliorée par réaction des produits de cyclisation avec de la triethylamine. On a généralisé cette fragmentation en l’appliquant à différents substrats.Enfin, dans le troisième chapitre, après une étude bibliographique sur la synthèse d’imidates et leurs utilités en synthèse organique, on a synthétisé des imidates β, γéthyléniques, afin de les utiliser comme substrats dans la réaction de cyclisation éléctrophile utilisant HBB. Dans ce cas aussi, la formation d’imines cycliques est constatée. / This work deals with the 5-endo halogeno electrophilic cyclization reactions of β,γ-ethylenic hydroxamates to give halolactames and halo cyclic iminolactones.In the first chapter, the reaction of γ-disubstituted β,γ-unsaturated hydroxamates with bis(collidine)bromine(I) hexafluorophosphate is studied. This type of reaction led mainly to the formation of bromo cyclic imidates, which were the thermodynamic products. Unsaturated cyclic imidates were then obtained by reaction with triethylamine. A lactame-iminolactone rearrangement was obtained during those reactions. In a next step we decided to study the diastereoselectivity of the reaction, using optically actif hydroxamates. In the second chapter, we decided to study the reaction of bis(collidine)bromine(I) hexafluorophosphate with γ-aryl β,γ-unsaturated hydroxamates, the corresponding bromo cyclic imidates were also obtained. However, by reaction with triethylamine, these compounds led with good yields, to the formation of 3-cyano-2-propen-1-ones by a Beckmann type fragmentation reaction. In the third chapter, the reaction of γ-mono and disubstituted β,γ-unsaturated imidates with bis(collidine)bromine(I) hexafluorophosphate is studied. The results that we obtained were not sufficient enough to understand the electrophilic cyclization mechanism of these types of substrates.

Esta tese de doutorado está dividida em três partes. Na primeira parte é tratada a expansão de anéis de 1-alquenil-cicloalcanóis promovida por hidróxi(tosilóxi)iodobenzeno (HTIB), com ênfase na síntese de anéis de sete membros. A metodologia se mostrou versátil, possibilitando que diferentes compostos de anéis expandidos pudessem ser obtidos a partir de alcoóis alílicos livres e protegidos. Além disso, foi possível sintetizar uma ceto-lactona de 11 membros a partir da clivagem oxidativa de um dos compostos de anel expandido obtido anteriormente, em bom rendimento num total de quatro etapas. Na segunda parte, está discutida a ciclização de alcoóis homoalílicos promovida por HTIB e iodobenzeno diacetato (DIB) e catalisadas por iodo para obtenção de derivados tetrahidrofurânicos desfavorecidos pelas regras de Baldwin. Foi proposto um mecanismo reacional baseado em intermediários isolados da reação e em precedentes da literatura. Finalmente, na última parte é descrito um estudo do mecanismo de desproporção de DIB e HTIB em acetonitrila por espectrometria de massas de alta resolução por electrospray. Foi mostrado que para o DIB a formação de compostos de I(I) e I(V) passa por intermediários diméricos como [PhI(OH)OIPh]+, [PhI(OAc)OIPh]+, [PhI(OAc)OI(O)Ph]+ e [PhI(O)OAc]+, enquanto que para o HTIB os dímeros [PhI(OH)OIPh]+, [PhIO(OTs)IPh]+ e [PhI(OTs)OI(O)Ph]+, são as principais espécies envolvidas na desproporção. / This thesis is presented in three parts. In the first part, the ring expansion of 1-vinylcycloalkenols promoted by hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene (HTIB) is discussed. This study focused on the synthesis of seven-membered ring compounds. This reaction is versatile, because different ring expanded molecules could be obtained by slightly changing the reaction conditions. Furthermore, it was possible to synthesize an eleven-membered ring keto-lactone by oxidative cleavage in good yield, achieving a relatively complex structure in four steps. In the second part, the iodine catalysed cyclization of homoallylic alcohols promoted by HTIB and iodobenzene diacetate (DIB) is investigated. This reaction allows to obtain tetrahydrofuran derivatives disfavored by Baldwin\'s rules. A mechanism was proposed based on intermediates isolated from the cyclization and in previous data from literature. Finally, the last part describes the application of high-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry for the elucidation of the disproportionation reaction of DIB and of HTIB in acetonitrile. It is supposed that mechanism of formation of iodine(I) and iodine(V) from DIB involves dimeric intermediates like [[PhI(OH)OIPh]+, [PhI(OAc)OIPh]+, [PhI(OAc)OI(O)Ph]+ and [PhI(O)OAc]+. By the other hand, the main species involved in the disproportionation of HTIB, are the dimers [PhI(OH)OIPh]+, [PhIO(OTs)IPh]+ and [PhI(OTs)OI(O)Ph]+.

Neste trabalho foram aprofundados nossos estudos para obtenção da (S)-2-terc-butilamida-4-(3-picolil)piperazina, pela abertura da (S)-2-terc-butilcarboxamida-N-p-tosilaziridina seguida de ciclização, em 78% de rendimento, com o triflato de vinildifenilsulfônio. A aziridina foi preparada por um processo de ciclização, em condições de transferência de fase, partindo-se da L-serina, um aminoácido natural de baixo custo. Esta rota sintética rendeu um material que apresenta a mesma estereoquímica S do fragmento piperazínico usado na síntese do Indinavir, podendo vir a constituir uma via alternativa para a obtenção deste fármaco. / In this work we performed a deeper study for obtaining (S)-2-tert-butylamide-4-(3-picolyl)piperazine by opening (S)-2-tert-butylcarboxamide-N-p-tosylaziridine followed by cyclization, in 78% yield, with diphenylvinylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The aziridine were prepared by a cyclization process in phase transfer conditions, starting from L-serine, a low cost amino acid. This synthetic route yielded a material which has the same S piperazinic fragment stereochemistry used in the synthesis of Indinavir, and may constitute an alternative route for obtaining this drug.

beta-Turns in many biologically active peptides are important secondary structural elements which are critical for their biological activities. Hence, it is not surprising that beta-turn based pharmacophore design including beta-turn mimetics has become a central topic in medicinal chemistry in addition to alpha-helix or helical peptides. One of the advantages of such beta-turn mimetics is that they can better control torsion angles of the backbone of peptides and to some degree dihedral angles chi (X). These beta-turn mimicking scaffolds are designed to have a higher avidity for the acceptor by overcoming what otherwise is the inherent entropic cost paid for beta-turn formation upon binding to the acceptor. Among different synthetic strategies to bicyclic structures as beta-turn mimetics, consecutive formation of bicyclic structures using tandem acid-catalyzed N-acyliminium ion cyclization is attractive since this methodology was well established in the synthesis of natural product alkaloids. 1,3,6,8-Substituted tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4,7-diones were designed and synthesized as internal beta-turn mimetics through an acid-catalyzed tandem acyliminium ion cyclization. Its development and synthesis are decribed in Chapter 2 to Chapter 4. Its application toward the development and synthesis of a small molecule ligand for melanocortin receptors is described in Chapter 5. In addition, the development of peptidomimetics for opioid receptors is explained in Chapter 6. On the other hand, a dicarba analogue having opioid receptor agonist, and dicarba analogues for MCRs were synthesized through solid phase synthesis including a ring closing metathesis reaction using Grubbs' catalyst (I) in Chapter 8.

In this thesis manuscript are described our synthetic efforts and the first total synthesis of two natural products isolated from the sponges of the genus Plakortis. In total, two different synthetic approaches were studied to finally accomplish the synthesis of plakortolide I. The first approach is an extension of the method developed by our group which consists in the creation of the 1,2-dioxane cycle by intramolecular opening of vinyl epoxide with β-hydroperoxy group. Firstly, we was interested in the preparation of alkoxymethylhexa-2,5-dien-1-ol. We have also tried to create the 1,2-dioxane cycle by double opening of bis-1,5-epoxide with hydrogen peroxide. Further more we have synthesised trisubstituted β-hydroperoxy vinyl epoxide, precursor of 1,2-dioxan ring, from R-epichlorohydrin. During this synthesis a procedure of chemoselective methylenation of ketone in the presence of epoxide by Nysted reagent and Ti(OiPr)2Cl2 was developed. Finally, (-)-ent-plakortolide I and seco-plakortolide E were synthesised by intramolecular Michael addition of hydroperoxide to double bond of the butenolide moiety

The development of heterocyclic chemistry is important for various science areas and for the industry. The main task of this branch of chemistry is the search for the new, more effective synthetic methods for obtaining heterocyclic derivatives. That covers not only the formation of heterocycles, but also their functionalization, which leads to the creation of compounds having various chemical and physical properties. The accomplishments of this area are applied in biochemistry, pharmacochemistry, photophysics and other branches of science and industry. The creation of effective heterocycles synthesis methods, that may be applied for the formation of heterosystems based on pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine was the main aim in this work. During this work, three hitherto unknown peri-fused heterocyclic systems based on pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine scaffold were synthesized. The suitable conditions for the cyclization of 4-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)aminopyrimidines to 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines were found. The influence of functional groups in pyrimidine moiety for the course of this reaction was investigated. It has been shown that functional groups including alkylthio, cyano, amino, formyl are tolerated in this type of reaction. The method for the replacement of ethoxy group with benzyl mercaptan in 3-ethoxy-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidines has been found. / Heterociklų chemijos vystymasis turi didelę reikšmę įvairioms mokslo sritims ir pramonės raidai. Pagrindinis šios chemijos srities uždavinys – kurti naujus heterociklinių junginių sintezės metodus, leidžiančius paprasčiau, efektyviau gauti norimos struktūros junginius. Tai apima ne tik heterociklų formavimo būdus, bet ir jų funkcionalizavimą, leidžiantį sukurti įvairiomis cheminėmis ir fizikinėmis savybėmis pasižyminčių junginių įvairovę. Šios mokslo srities pasiekimai pritaikomi biochemijoje, farmacijoje, fotofizikoje ir kitose mokslo ir pramonės šakose. Šiame darbe buvo siekiama sukurti efektyvius heterosistemų sintezės būdus, kuriuos galima pritaikyti pirazolo[3,4-d]pirimidino fragmentą turinčių heterociklų formavimui. Šio darbo metu buvo susintetintos trys iki šiol neaprašytos heterociklinės sistemos atliekant peri-kondensuotų heterosistemų sintezę iš 3-amino-4-chlor-1-metil-6-metiltio-1H-pirazolo[3,4-d]pirimidino. Surastos tinkamos sąlygos 4-(2,2-dietoksietilmino)pirimidinų ciklizacijai į 3-etoksi-2,3-dihidroimidazo[1,2-c]pirimidinus. Ištirta pirimidino žiede esančių pakaitų įtaka šiai reakcijai. Parodyta, kad ši reakcija yra suderinama su tokiomis funkcinėmis grupėmis, kaip alkiltio-, cian-, amino-, formilgrupės. Surastas metodas 3-etoksi-2,3-dihidroimidazo[1,2-c]pirazolo[4,3-e]pirimidinų etoksigrupės pakeitimui benziltiogrupe.
