Synthèse et caractérisation de polyhydroxyuréthanes glycériliques sans isocyanates à haut poids moléculaire / Synthesis and characterization of polyhydroxyurethanes

Nohra, Bassam 01 June 2012 (has links)
Des nouvelles voies de synthèse sont proposées pour la préparation des hydroxyuréthanes et polyhydroxyuréthanes glycériliques, sans isocyanate, à partir de composés biosourcés fournisseurs de groupements cyclocarbonates hautement réactifs vis-à-vis des amines, diamines, polyamines. Les fournisseurs de groupement cyclocarbonate sont le carbonate de glycérol et le nouveau synthoon bifonctionnel l’acrylate de carbonate de glycérol. Des hydroxyuréthanes ou polyhydroxyuréthanes glycéryliques polyoxygénés et polyazotés ont été ainsi élaborés via ces nouveaux intermédiaires cyclocarbonates glycériliques en substitution des carbonates cycliques d’origine fossile comme les carbonates d’alkylènes. La stratégie d’élaboration des polyhydroxyuréthanes glycériliques à haut poids moléculaire s’appuie sur la réactivité séquencée de l’acrylate de carbonate de glycérol : réaction d’Aza-Michaël sur le groupement éthylénique de l’acrylate et réaction d’aminolyse par ouverture de cycles carbonates à 5- chaînons. Selon la nature des polyamines, on prépare des polymères de poids moléculaire supérieur à 40000 g/mol, d’aspects gel, mousse ou résine selon que les pontages linéaires ou interchaînes prédominent. Des réseaux chimiques intramoléculaires sont constitués par l’établissement des liaisons hydrogène entre les sites O-H ou N-H et l’oxygène du groupement carbamoyle du squelette glycérilique avec comme conséquence la réduction de la susceptibilité du groupe carbamoyle à l’hydrolyse et l’amélioration des propriétés de résistance chimique et mécanique des polyhydroxyuréthanes glycériliques. / New synthesis routes have been developed for the preparation of glycerilic hydroxyurethanes and polyhydroxyurethanes without the use of isocyanates. They were prepared from biosourced cyclocarbonates, highly reactive towards amines, diamines and polyamines. The providers of cyclocarbonate function are glycerol carbonate and glycerol acrylate carbonate which is a bifunctional reactive. Glycerilic hydroxyurethanes and polyhydroxyurethanes with high oxygenated and nitrogenated potential were then designed via these new glycerilic cyclocarbonates’ intermediates, substitutes of fossil cyclic carbonates such as ethylene or propylene carbonates. The strategy development of high molecular weights glycerilic polyhydroxyurethanes is based on the sequenced reactivity of the glycerol acrylate carbonate: Aza-Michaël reaction on the ethylenic function of the acrylate and aminolysis reaction of the 5-membered cyclic carbonate function. According to the nature of the amine, polyhydroxyurethanes up to 40,000 g/mol were obtained. They can be obtained as foams, gels, resins, depending on the predominance of linear or cross-linked bridges. Intramolecular chemical networks were elaborated by hydrogen bonding between O-H or N-H sites with the oxygen atom of the carbamoyl function of the glycerilic skeleton. That is the reason why carbamoyle functions are less susceptible to hydrolysis and why the chemical and mechanical resistance properties of the glycerilic polyhydroxyurethanes are increased.

Aspectos tecnológicos da síntese de carbonato de glicerila e a avaliação de algumas de suas propriedades físico-químicas / Technological aspects of the synthesis of glyceryl carbonate and evaluation of some of its physicochemical properties

Tendo em vista a busca por matérias-primas de fontes renováveis e menos poluentes, e o crescente aproveitamento de subprodutos gerados por estas fontes, surgiu o interesse em estudar a síntese do carbonato de glicerina a partir da glicerina obtida como subproduto principal na fabricação de biodiesel. Sintetizou-se este composto no Laboratório de Química Orgânica Aplicada. Este tensoativo não é disponível no Brasil e possui propriedades cosméticas interessantes, que, no entanto, ainda devem ser mais exploradas na atualidade. No estudo, adicionou-se o carbonato a sabões líquidos obtidos a partir dos ácidos graxos provenientes dos óleos de soja e de mamona. Os sabões produzidos apresentaram baixa alcalinidade, reduzindo, assim, as adições de agentes químicos que podem ser agressivos à pele, como mostraram os resultados parciais. A partir do planejamento experimental, verifica-se a influência da temperatura e o tempo de reação da síntese do carbonato, assim como o tipo de catalisador utilizado. Análises de espectroscopia vibracional Raman e infravermelho, juntamente com ensaios de viscosidade, mostraram que a temperatura ideal para a carboxilação é de 140 °C, sendo que o tempo reacional deve ser de 6 a 7 h, utilizando-se como catalisador o sulfato de magnésio. Demonstrou-se também, a sensibilidade das duas técnicas na identificação dos picos das reações de síntese de carbonato de glicerila. Comparativamente, foram realizados testes de espuma dos sabões adicionados de carbonato de glicerila e de lauril sulfato de sódio. De um modo geral, a adição de carbonato de glicerila aos sabões propiciou a formação de uma espuma mais densa e persistente. A utilização de água dura reduziu o volume de espuma formado para todas as amostras. Comparando os dois óleos vegetais, soja e mamona, percebeu-se que os sabões produzidos a partir de óleo de mamona apresentaram menor formação de espuma. A adição de dietanolamina reduziu significativamente a estabilidade das espumas em todas as amostras. Estudos reológicos demonstraram que o tensoativo carbonato de glicerila é um fluido newtoniano, comportamento semelhante ao da glicerina pura. / In order to search for raw materials from cleaner and renewable sources, and the growing use of byproducts generated by these sources, has appeared the interest in studying the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol obtained as a main byproduct in the manufacture of biodiesel. This compound was synthesized at the Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry. This surfactant is not available in Brazil and has interesting cosmetic properties, which, however, should be more exploited at present. In the study, carbonate was added to liquid soaps from the fatty acids from soybean oil and castor oil. Soaps produced had low alkalinity, thereby reducing the additions of chemicals that can be aggressive to the skin, as partial results showed. From the experimental design, the influence of temperature and reaction time of the synthesis of carbonate is investigated, as well as the type of catalyst used. Analysis of partial Raman vibrational spectroscopy, together with viscosity experiments showed that the optimal temperature for carboxylation is 140 °C, and the reaction time should be from 6 to 7 h, using magnesium sulphate as the catalyst. It also demonstrated the sensitivity of both techniques in identifying the peaks of the reactions of synthesis of glycerol carbonate. In comparison,foam tests were made of soaps added glycerol carbonate and sodium laurylsulfate. Overall, the addition of glycerol carbonate to soap provided the formation of denser and persistent foam. The use of hard water reduced the volume of foam formed for all samples. Comparing the two vegetable oils, soy and castor bean, it was noticed that soaps produced from castor oil had lower foaming. The addition of diethanolamine significantly reduced the stability of foams in all samples. Rheological studies demonstrated that the surfactant glycerol carbonate is neuwtonian fluid, behavior similar to that of pure glycerin.

Synthèse catalytique des hydroxyacides en C3 par oxydation chimio-enzymatique du glycérol et du carbonate de glycérol sous atmosphère enrichie en oxygène ou sous air ambiant en milieu aqueux / Catalytic synthesis of C3 hydroxyacids by chemo-enzymatic oxidation of glycerol and glycerol carbonate under oxygen or ambient air in aqueous medium

Amouroux, Mathilde 01 June 2017 (has links)
Les besoins actuels en produits de fertilisation et notamment pour le traitement des carences chez le végétal sont en constante augmentation. Cependant, de plus en plus soucieuse de l’environnement, les industries productrices de ces compléments alimentaires souhaitent proposées des solutions de traitements plus durables tant au niveau de leur production que de leur devenir une fois épandue dans la parcelle. Par ailleurs, il a été établi que les cellules végétales peuvent être considérées comme de vraies usines à molécules. Les hydroxyacides en C3 fabriqués par la machinerie cellulaire présentent par exemple de nombreuses propriétés de chélation et de transport. La présence de fonction hydroxyles et carboxyliques leur confèrent en effet la capacité de pouvoir enserrer des métaux et de permettre leur déplacement entre tous les compartiments des cellules, mais aussi entre les différents organes de la plante. Par ailleurs, la présence de ces mêmes molécules au sein des réactions biologiques (respiration, photosynthèse) font d’elles des métabolites assimilables et donc potentiellement dégradables. Les travaux de cette thèse ont donc eu pour objectif de mettre en place une catalyse chimio-enzymatique afin de produire les molécules les plus semblables aux hydroxyacides en C3 végétaux. Dans cette démarche de biomimétisme, nous avons mis au point un protocole de fabrication d’hydroxyacides à partir de glycérol et de carbonate de glycérol dans des conditions similaires au milieu vivant : dans l’eau, à des températures faibles et à pression atmosphérique. Nous avons ainsi réussi à synthétiser des hydroxyacides tel que l’acide glycérique, le 2-oxo1,3-dioxolan-4-carboxylique et l’hémiacétal du carbonate de glycérol. Les travaux de thèse ont également permis de mettre au point une méthode analytique complète pour la visualisation et la quantification de la majorité des hydroxyacides en C3 élaborés selon ce protocole opératoire. Cette méthode regroupe des techniques de caractérisations globales telles que l’Infra-rouge, l’HPLC, l’HPIC, et des analyses plus fines comme la LCMS de haute résolution et la RMN 1D et 2D. Nous avons par ailleurs optimisé la synthèse des hydroxyacides en C3 à partir du glycérol et du carbonate de glycérol grâce à la mise en place d’un plan d’expérience. Les molécules fabriquées présenteraient des propriétés de complexants susceptibles d’être utilisés en agronomie dans le but de remplacer les chélatants actuels issues de réactions plus polluantes de la pétrochimie et générant des substances nocives pour la santé des sols agricoles une fois appliqués. / The current need for fertilization products, and particulary for the treatment of plant deficiencies, is constantly increasing. However, more and more environmentally concerned, industries producing these food complements aim at finding more sustainable treatment solutions both in preparing these substances and in controlling their degradation once on crops. Moreover, it is established that plant cells can be considered as true molecular factories. For example, the C3 hydroxy acids produced by the cellular machinery have many chelating and transport properties. The presence of hydroxyl and carboxylic functions give them the ability to enclose the metals and to allow their displacement through all the compartments of the cells and also through the different organs of the plant. Moreover, as they are involved in biological reactions (respiration, photosynthesis), these molecules can potentially be used in cellular metabolism or degraded. The work presented herein has been designed with the aim of producing the most similar hydroxy C 3 –acids’s plant molecules by establishing a chemo-enzymatic catalysis. Inspired by biological and chemical natural processes, we have developed a protocol for manufacturing hydroxy acids from glycerol and glycerol carbonate under natural conditions ie in water, at low temperature and at atmospheric pressure. We have also produced hydroxy acids such as glyceric acid, 2-oxo1,3-dioxolan-4-carboxylic acid and glycerol carbonate hemiacetal. The thesis also allowed us to develop a complete analytical method for the observation and the quantification of the majority of C3 hydroxy acids, produced according to our operating protocol. This method combines global characterization techniques such as HPLC, HPIC and more complex analyses such as HR-LCMS and 1D and 2D NMR. We have also optimized the synthesis of C3 hydroxyacids from glycerol and glycerol carbonate through the implementation of an experimental design. Our bioinspired molecules are potential complexing agents that could be used in agronomy, in order to replace the current chelating molecules obtained from petrochemistry, known for having harmful impact on agricultural soils.

Etude d'un procédé industriel continu de synthèse catalytique d'un produit chimique / Study of an industrial continuous process for catalytic synthesis of glycerol carbonate

Fourdinier, Marion 03 February 2010 (has links)
Le glycérol est un coproduit de la filière des biocarburants obtenu par transestérification destriglycérides. Avec le développement des biocarburants, la production de glycérol est en pleine croissance.La consommation de glycérol comme additif dans les industries cosmétique, pharmaceutique et agroalimentairen’augmentant pas de manière aussi significative, l’excédent doit être valorisé. L’une des voies devalorisation est la synthèse du carbonate de glycérol qui est un intermédiaire intéressant pour la chimie fine.La méthode de synthèse utilisée au sein de l’industrie Novance est la carbonylation du glycérol par l’urée enprocédé discontinu. Cette réaction produit, en plus du carbonate de glycérol, une grande quantitéd’ammoniac gazeux extrait du milieu réactionnel par dépression. L’ampleur de ce dégagement gazeux ainsique son irrégularité au cours du temps représente la limitation de production du procédé discontinu. Le sujetde cette étude est de développer le procédé continu de cette synthèse afin de pallier ce problème. Pourréaliser le suivi de la réaction, des méthodes analytiques ont été développées dans un premier temps. Avecces outils, les connaissances du système discontinu ont été approfondies pour déterminer les critères dechoix du procédé continu. Une unité de désorption réactive a été ensuite conçue pour créer un systèmebiphasique gaz-liquide à contre-courant. Une série d’essais préliminaires a permis le développement duprocédé qui a été optimisé par un plan de Doehlert. / Glycerol is a by-product of biofuels obtained by transesterification of triglycerides. With developmentof biofuel, glycerol production is growing. The use of glycerol in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industriesis not increasing in the same way, so the surplus should be preferable to market. One way of development isthe synthesis of glycerol carbonate which is an interesting intermediate for fine chemistry. The synthesisused by Novance is carbonylation of glycerol by urea with a batch process. This reaction produces, as wellas glycerol carbonate, a high quantity of gaseous ammonia extracted from reactive mixture in a vacuum. Thescale of this gaseous emission and its irregularity during synthesis show the limits of production using abatch process. The aim of this study is to develop the continuous process of the synthesis to solve thisproblem. To carry out the monitoring of the reaction, at first, analytical methods were used. With suchmethods, knowledge of the batch process was improved in order to determine the best criteria for acontinuous process. A unit of reactive desorption was then elaborated to create a liquid-gas biphasic systemin a counter-flow configuration. A series of preliminary experiments were performed to develop the processwhich was optimised by a Doehlert plan.

Synthèse et formulation de résines photopolymérisables issues de la biomasse : application pour l'impression Braille / Synthesis and formulation of photopolymerisable monomers derived from biomass : application for Braille printing

Mhanna, Ali 26 September 2014 (has links)
Le travail de thèse porte sur la synthèse de nouveaux monomères photopolymérisables issus de la biomasse, l’étude de leur photopolymérisation et la caractérisation des matériaux qui en résultent. Les monomères formulés ont été testés dans un procédé d’impression de caractères Braille.Les monomères ont été élaborés en deux étapes en utilisant un chemin réactionnel simple, économique et respectueux de l’environnement. La première étape a consisté à faire réagir des dérivés du glycérol (carbonate de glycérol ou glycidol) avec des acides gras. Dans un deuxième temps, les [alpha]-monoglycérides obtenus ont été fonctionnalisés en vue de les rendre photopolymérisables. Les différents monomères obtenus porteurs de fonctions (méth)acrylate et/ou époxy ont été photopolymérisés en quelques secondes en présence d’un photoamorceur. Les cinétiques de photopolymérisation ont été suivies par spectrométrie IR-TF en mode ATR et différents paramètres tels que la quantité et la nature du photoamorceur, l’intensité d’irradiation et la température ont été optimisés. Les différents matériaux obtenus après photoréticulation ont été caractérisés afin de mettre en évidence leurs principales physico-chimiques. Des relations structure – propriétés ont ainsi été établies.Enfin, une formulation photopolymérisable présentant une viscosité compatible avec le procédé d’impression Braille a été élaborée par ajout de silice nanométrique. Les points Braille obtenus présentent des caractéristiques proches de ceux réalisés par le partenaire industriel. / The work of the PhD deals with the synthesis of polymerizable monomers derived from biomass, the study of their photopolymerization and the characterization of the resulting materials. The formulated monomers were tested in a printing method of Braille characters.The monomers were prepared in a two-steps reaction that is simple, economic and environmentally friendly. The first step comprised a reaction between glycerol derivatives (glycerol carbonate or glycidol) and fatty acids. In the second step, the obtained [alpha]-monoglycerides were functionalized to obtain photopolymerizable monomers. The different obtained monomers that bear (meth)acrylate and/or epoxy groups were photopolymerized in a few seconds in the presence of photoinitiator.The photopolymerization kinetics were followed by FT-IR spectroscopy in ATR mode, and various parameters such as the amount and the nature of the photoinitiator, the irradiation intensity and the temperature were optimized. The different photocured materials were characterized to highlight their main physicochemical properties. Structure-properties relations were then established.Finally, a photopolymerizable formulation having a viscosity compatible with the printing process of Braille characters was developed by adding nanometric silice. The obtained Braille characters exhibited features close those carried out by the industrial partner.
