Nesta tese são apresentados, em dois capítulos, os resultados da reatividade química de quinoxalinas e os estudos visando à síntese de quinona natural, a vegfrecina. Modificações específicas em estruturas privilegiadas, padrões estruturais relevantes para bioatividade, representam uma alternativa viável na busca de novos ligantes para alvos macromoleculares. Neste cenário, as quinoxalinas apresentam destacada importância no âmbito da química medicinal, sendo assim é de grande importância o desenvolvimento de metodologias de funcionalização que conduzam a diversidade molecular deste núcleo. Neste contexto, foram realizadas reações de ativação C - H, como uma estratégia para a síntese de derivados vinil quinoxalinicos, com base na abordagem de Fujiwara-Moritani. Os resultados obtidos com este estudo indicaram que a densidade eletrônica das olefinas utilizadas neste estudo foi determinante para o rendimento reacional. Assim, as reações envolvendo olefinas ricas em elétrons, resultaram em maior rendimento do produto alquenilado, alcançando 89%. A deoxidação ocorreu em rendimentos de 43 - 54%, levando a ampliação da coleção de compostos desenvolvidos neste projeto. Os compostos aqui desenvolvidos foram testados quanto à atividade antimicobacteriana, entretanto, nenhum deles apresentou resultados promissores. O segundo capítulo desta tese abordou a síntese da Vegfrecina, que possui seletividade de inibição dos receptores do fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGFR), bloqueando a ativação de VEGFR-1 e VEGFR-2 e, consequentemente, interferindo na vascularização, proliferação e metástase tumoral. Nossa estratégia utilizou o intermediário chave 6-Bromo-5,8-dimetoxi-2,2-dimetil-2,3-dihidroquinazolin-4(1H)-ona em reações de aminação de Buchwald Hartwig com três anilinas diferentes. Embora tenhamos obtido três intermediários sintéticos inéditos, em bons rendimentos, a etapa de oxidação não foi promissora, impossibilitando a obtenção da Vegfrecina e de seus análogos. / The study of chemistry reactivity of quinoxalines and the study aiming total syntheses of natural quinone, vegfrecine, are shown in this thesis in two chapters. The specific modifications privileged scaffold represents a promising way following for new macromolecular ligands targets. Considering the great importance of quinoxaline core in medicinal chemistry, the development of efficient methodologies in orther to obtain molecular diversity have attracted large attention. In this context, using Fujiwara-Moritani approach the C-H activation reactions were performed as good strategy in synthesis of vinyl- quinoxaline derivatives. Our results indicated the importance of olefin electron density in the reaction yields. In this way, reactions involving high electron density olefines, results in the high alkenilated products, achieving 89% of yield. The deoxygenation process occurred in yields of 43 until 54. The compounds obtained were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, however no primissing results were observed. The second chapter in this thesis show our attempt to total synthesis of Vegfrecine, that have inhibitory activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), Our strategy used the 6-bromo-5,8-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one in Buchwald Hartwig reaction with three different olefins. Although these new synthetic intermediates were obtained with good yield, the last step of oxidation didn\'t work. Therefore, it was not possible to obtain the Vegfrecine and its analogous.

Shinsen rōeishū as a poetry collection of kanshi and waka compiled by Fujiwara no Mototoshi has not been studied as comprehensive as Wakan rōeishū. This thesis focuses on the study of the anthology, the historical and cultural backgrounds, the creator and representative Japanese and Chinese poets, as well as translations and cultural study of several poems. It begins with a broad discussion of the development of poetry recitation and the reception of Chinese literature in Heian period. Next, several more specific aspects of the anthology are discussed, including the emergence and completion of Shinsen rōeishū, the content and its reception, as well as manuscript copies. In the following chapter, discussion about the creator deals with his conservative poetic style and his strained personal relationships with other poets such as Minamoto no Toshiyori. These aspects may lead to a deeper understanding on the relationship between these factors and the spread of Shinsen rōeishū. In the appendices, several representative poems in Shinsen rōeishū are translated. Reasons for the choice of certain target poems are put forward. Meanwhile the translations also include cultural and historical studies for some poems, in order to inspire further study on other poems in Shinsen rōeishū. Additionally, certain influential poets who made great contributions to Shinsen rōeishū as well as the development of kanshi are also discussed, such as Sugawara no Michizane and Bai Juyi.

Le chlore est largement utilisé pour ses propriétés bactéricides dans les piscines. Dans les eaux de piscine, le chlore réagit avec les matières azotées et carbonées générées par l’activité humaine (sueur, salive, urine, peau) pour former divers composés toxiques tels que la monochloramine (NH2Cl), la dichloramine (NHCl2), le trichlorure d'azote (NCl3), le chloroforme (CHCl3), etc… qui se retrouvent dans l’atmosphère. La détection et la quantification de ces composés volatils à des teneurs ppb (partie par milliard) est un réel besoin afin de contrôler la qualité de l’air des piscines. Cependant il n’existe pas à ce jour des appareils à la fois sensibles et peu coûteux.L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est d’élaborer des capteurs chimiques colorimétriques, sensibles, sélectifs et peu coûteux de la monochloramine, du trichlorure d’azote et du chloroforme. Dans ce but, nous avons mis au point des capteurs chimiques réalisés à partir de matrices nanoporeuses de silicate dopée des réactifs. Ainsi le capteur de NCl3 dopé de NaI et d’amylose permet de mesurer de faibles teneurs de NCl3 (5 ppb à 180 ppb) dans les atmosphères humides (50-80% HR) des piscines. Grâce au changement rapide de couleur, de transparent à rose-violet, visible à l’œil nu, le capteur de NCl3 permet de surveiller la qualité de l’air dans les piscines. Le capteur sélectif de NH2Cl est basé sur la réaction de Berthelot. La matrice de silicate nanoporeuse dopée de nitroprussiate de sodium et de phénol en milieu alcalin, initialement transparente, devient bleue lors d’une exposition à NH2Cl gazeux. Ce capteur permet de détecter NH2Cl dans la gamme de 60 à 250 ppb dans une atmosphère très humide (≈ 80%). Utilisé pour la sonder la qualité des eaux de piscine, il permet de mesurer NH2Cl dans l’eau avec une limite de détection de 0,1 µmol•L-1. Une étude préliminaire de la détection de CHCl3 a également été entreprise pour déterminer les molécules-sonde aptes à réagir avec le chloroforme en formant des produits colorés. Les réactifs de la réaction de Fujiwara ont été sélectionnés. L’étude de la réactivité de la 2,2’-bipyridine en solution en présence d’une base forte a permis de mettre en évidence la formation simultanée de deux composés colorés, dont la formation dépend de la nature de l’environnement réactionnel. / In swimming-pools, chlorine is used as a disinfectant to minimize the risk to users from microbial contaminants. In water, chlorine reacts with nitrogen compounds generated by human activity like saliva, sweat, urine and skin, leading to the formation of toxic compounds, such as monochloramine (NH2Cl), dichloramine (NHCl2), nitrogen trichloride (NCl3), chloroform (CHCl3), etc… The detection and the quantification of these volatile compounds at ppb level (part per billion) is an important and significant challenge to be able to monitor the air quality in swimming pool. Or, there is currently no commercially available and low-cost system which can instantaneously measure at ppb concentrations.The aim of this research is to develop a cheap, sensitive and selective chemical and colorimetric sensors of monochloramine, nitrogen trichloride and chloroform. For this purpose, we developed chemical sensors based on the use of nanoporous silicate matrices doped with probe-molecules. The NCl3 sensor doped with NaI and amylose can detect NCl3 at ppb level (5 ppb – 180 ppb) in humid atmospheres (from 50% to 80% relative humidity) at ambient pool temperatures. Due to the fast change of color, visible with naked eyes, these sensors can be used to detect peaks of pollution and to monitor the air quality of indoor pools. The NH2Cl selective sensor is based on the Berthelot reaction. The nanoporous silicate matrices doped with sodium nitroprusside and phenol in an alkaline medium, turn from transparent to blue upon exposure to gaseous NH2Cl. This sensor can detect NH2Cl in the range from 60 to 250 ppb in a very humid atmosphere (≈ 80%). Used to probe the quality of pool water, this sensor can detect NH2Cl in water with a detection limit of 0,1 µmol•L-1. A preliminary study of the CHCl3 detection was also conducted to identify probe-molecules capable of reacting with chloroform to form colored products. The reagents of the Fujiwara reaction were selected. The study of the 2,2’-bipyridine reactivity in solution in the presence of a strong base allowed highlighting the simultaneous formation of two colored compounds, whose formation depends on the nature of the reaction environment.
