The reaction barrier and heat of formation of the various dehydrogenation reactions involved in the steam reforming of ethane is a critical concern in the applications and understanding of these reactions. Focusing on Ir-based catalyst, we report a comprehensive reaction network of dehydrogenation of ethane on Ir(100) based on extensive density functional theory calculations performed on 10 C-H bond cleavage reactions, utilizing the Vienna Ab Initio Package codes. The geometric and electronic structures of the adsorption of C2Hx species with corresponding transition-state structures is reported. We found that the C-H bond in CH3C required the most energy to activate, due to the most stable four-fold hollow adsorption site configuration. Ethane can easily dissociate to CH3CH and CH2CH2 on Ir(100) and further investigation of surface temperature dependence will contribute to the research effort in this area. By using the degree of dehydrogenation of the reactant species as a variable to correlate the C-H bond cleavage barrier as well as reaction energy. DFT studies reveal that the surface Ir(100) to a great extent promotes ethane dehydrogenation when compared to other surfaces.

Les résistances aux traitements actuels contre le cancer incitent à trouver de nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques. Une de ces cibles, la hsp90 (heat shock protein 90), impliquée dans la maturation de protéines clientes oncogènes, se révèle très prometteuse car son inhibition induit la dégradation de ces protéines par la voie du protéasome.PU3 et PU24S sont des inhibiteurs de la hsp90 de type purine fonctionnalisés en position 8. Dans le but d’identifier des composés encore plus actifs et/ou de nouvelles familles d’inhibiteurs, nous avons développé de nouveaux procédés sélectifs métallo-catalysés permettant l’activation de liaisons C-H de divers hétérocycles, et en particulier des purines (adénines, xanthines). Ces nouvelles approches ont permis un accès direct et simple à de nombreuses purines fonctionnalisées en C-8 par des groupements aromatiques, hetéroaromatiques, éthyléniques et benzyliques. / Resistance to current treatments of cancer encourages finding new therapeutical targets. The heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) is a molecular chaperon which regulates the folding of many client proteins associated with all of the six hallmarks of cancer, and helps maintaining their proper conformation. Consequently, the hsp90 has become an exciting new target in cancer drug discovery since the inhibition of its ATPase activity leads to depletion of these client proteins via the proteasomal pathway. PU3 and PU24S are purine-based hsp90 inhibitors functionalized on C-8 position. In the aim to identify more active compounds and/or new subfamilies of inhibitors, we have developed new metal-catalyzed C-H activation processes of various heterocycles including purines and other azoles. These new and simple approaches have allowed the access to numerous C-8 functionalized purines bearing (het)aryl, alkenyl and benzyl moieties.

La grande variété de propriétés biologiques associées au noyau purine en fait une structure privilégiée pour la conception et la synthèse de nouvelles molécules à visée thérapeutique. Cette spécificité est étroitement liée à la grande diversité de substituants pouvant être introduits sur les différentes positions du noyau purine et en particulier sur C2, C6, C8 et N9. Par conséquent, le développement de méthodes de fonctionnalisation rapides de cette famille de composés est d’un grand intérêt synthétique. Nous nous sommes focalisés sur la formation de liaisons C-C et C-N sur les positions 6 et 8 du noyau purine pour pouvoir présenter de nouveaux outils de synthèse permettant d’introduire une plus grande diversité fonctionnelle. D’une part, nous avons étudié la fonctionnalisation directe de liaisons C-H de purines, sujet encore peu exploré. En effet, de nos jours, le traditionnel couplage croisé (Negishi, Suzuki-Miyaura), utilisé pour la création de liaisons C-C, se voit de plus en plus concurrencé par ces réactions puisqu’elles ne nécessitent pas la préparation d’un partenaire organométallique. Ce sont des réactions dites à économie d’atomes. En nous basant sur l’expérience du laboratoire dans le domaine de la fonctionnalisation directe de liaisons C-H, nous avons envisagé l’alcénylation et l’alcynylation directes en position 8 de la purine, les motifs alcényle et alcynyle étant présents dans certaines purines d’intérêt biologique. D’autre part, nous nous sommes intéressés à deux méthodes de couplage croisé pallado-catalysé permettant la formation de liaisons C-N et C-C : le couplage de Buchwald – Hartwig entre une 8-iodopurine et des amides ou des amines aromatiques, et le couplage de Liebeskind – Srogl entre une 6-thioétherpurine et divers acides boroniques. / Purine is the most widely distributed N-heterocycle scaffold in the nature and its derivatives are well known for their biological and fluorescent properties. These characteristics are linked to the diversity of substituents that can be introduced, especially on the C-2, C-6, C-8 and N-9 positions. Therefore, the development of methods for rapid functionalization of this family of compounds represent a valuable asset. We focused on the formation of C-C and C-N bonds at positions 6 and 8 of the purine ring in order to provide new synthesis tools allowing the introduction of functional diversity. On the one hand, we studied the direct functionalization of C-H bonds of purines, subject still little explored. Indeed, nowadays, traditional cross-coupling reactions (Negishi, Suzuki-Miyaura), used for the creation of C-C bonds, are increasingly challenged by these reactions since they do not require the preparation of an organometallic partner. Their advantage lies in step and atom economy. Based on previous experience in our laboratory in the field of direct functionalization of C-H bonds, we envisioned direct alkenylation and alkynylation at position 8 of the purine, knowing that alkenyl and alkynyl patterns are found in purines of biological interest. On the other hand, we were interested in two pallado-catalyzed cross-coupling methods for the formation of C-N and C-C bonds : Buchwald – Hartwig coupling between 8-iodopurine and aromatic amines or amides, and Liebeskind – Srogl coupling between 6-thioétherpurine and a range of boronic acids.

This thesis entitled “Design and Synthesis of Peptidomimics Constrained in Helical and Sheet Conformations Using a Novel Covalent Surrogate for the Peptide Main Chain Hydrogen Bond” is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1: Introduction to Ordered Conformations of Peptides and Strategies for Constraining Short Peptides in Ordered Conformations. The first chapter describes the different types of protein secondary structures and introduces the various prominent strategies developed thus far to constrain short peptides in ordered secondary structure-like conformations, with specific emphasis on helical and parallel β-sheet folds. Chapter 2: Design of Structure and General Methodology for the synthesis of Novel H-Bond Surrogate Constrained Cyclic α-Helical Mimics Here we develop the first design of the propyl linker as a covalent surrogate for the peptide H-bond. The first synthetic methodology is described for the synthesis of constraining shortest peptide sequences (tripeptides) in α-helix-like conformations. The Macrolactamization strategy proved to work best as the final step for cyclization. All residues of the turn are completely retained in the constrained sequence, unlike any other earlier method. More importantly, there are no metal involved as catalysts in any of the synthetic transformations, hence removing the problem of metal-bound cyclic structures – which have otherwise rendered these structures non-usable as drug leads in the earlier models. Gly-rich peptides have been constrained as extreme cases of highest chain entropy and least helix propensity. Both secondary and tertiary amide containing peptides have been synthesized using this protocol. Note that the macrolactamization was found to be better than the Fukuyama-Mitsunobu N-alkylation protocol for the final cyclization step. Chapter 3: Synthesis of C-terminal Extended HBS-Constrained Helical Turn Mimics – Validation of the Versatility of Current synthetic protocol The developed cyclization protocol is extended towards the synthesis of C-terminal extended α-helical turn mimics using a solution phase peptide synthesis procedure. Peptides which extend belong the helical turn by a high entropy Gly-residue at the C-terminal are synthesized. The versatility of the synthetic methodology to accommodate sterically constrained amino acid residues – in the form of phenylalanine residue – at any of the positions i+1, i+2 or i+3 of the constrained helical turn is demonstrated. The synthesized are easily isolated without need for column chromatography, in high purity and good yields – this is due to the presence of the N-terminal amino group, salts of which are easily triturated to remove all other organic impurities. Chapter 4: Synthesis and CD conformational analyses of HBS constrained α-Helical turn mimics containing residues with improved helical propensities Alanine residue has the highest helix propensity among all other natural α-amino acid residues. Its enthalpic contribution to the helical conformation is 1 kcal/mol more than that for the Gly residue, which has the least propensity. Incorporation of Ala residue in the Gly-rich cyclic sequences in either the middle of constrained tripeptide or as the C-terminal extended residue has been accomplished. Comparison of the CD spectra of the synthesized cyclic α-helical turn peptides reveals that a tertiary amide linkage is essential for the propyl linker at the C-terminal amino appendage, for helicity to be observed. Helicity improves upon introduction of the first extended residue. The constrained and C-terminal extended α-helical turn mimics show consistently high helicity irrespective of the helix propensities of the component residues showing that the covalent propyl linker surrogate for the H-bond overwhelms the natural propensities of individual amino acid residues towards enabling stabilization of the helical turn and offer far better structural organization to this cause. Chapter 5: Synthesis of shortest HBS-constrained 310 and - helical peptide analogues The unique versatility of the novel covalent propyl linker surrogate for the peptide H-bond is exhibited by its ability to constrain dipeptides in 310-helix like structures. This is the first and the only HBS model that can achieve this synthetic target as the synthetic protocol allows the conservation of both the residues as is in the constrained helical turn. Similarly, the trapping of a pentapeptide in a C-terminal extended rare and unstable -helix like cyclic structure using the current HBS linker is achieved. Considering the high entropic cost for cyclizing such a long 16-membered chain into a constrained structure, this again exhibits the versatility of the currently developed HBS design and the currently developed synthetic methodology. Chapter 6: First design and synthesis of novel H-bond surrogate constrained parallel β-sheet mimics H-bonding interactions stabilize another prevalently observed secondary structure, other than helical structures, namely the -sheets. The parallel -sheets that almost qualify for super secondary structures due to the high contact orders in them are thought to mimic in models, unlike the easier antiparallel -sheets. Here we replace the inter-strand peptide H-bond between parallel -strands to create excised templates as parallel -sheet nucleators. The propyl linker acts as a dynamic linker in these models and the two amino groups are protected with bulky sulphonamides, in order to provide Thorpe-Ingold effect to the peptide chain. The protocol for synthesizing these models has been described and the different analogues that are synthesized thus have been described. This is the first instance of synthesis of parallel -sheet mimics using the covalent surrogates for the peptide H-bond.

Dans ce travail de recherche, la synthèse de complexes de ruthénium cyclometallés a été effectuée à partir d'imines, 2-phénylpyridine, 2-phényloxazoline, phénylpyrazole, et benzo[h]quinoline par réaction avec [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2 et KOAc via une activation de liaison sp2 C-H. Le système [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2/KOAc/PPh3 est un catalyseur efficace pour réaliser la diarylation d'imines et de 2-phénylpyridine dans l'eau, solvant qui donne de meilleures activités que les solvants organiques. Des amines encombrées ont été préparées par une séquence catalytique activation C-H/arylation/ hydrosilylation d'imines catalysée par [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2. La monoarylation sélective de 2-pyridyl arylcétones, via la formation d'un intermédiaire ruthénacycle à 6 chainons plus difficile à former, est catalysée par l'espèce Ru(O2CC6H4CF3)2(p-cymène) formée in situ. L'alcénylation déhydrogénative oxydante directe d'aryloxazoline par du styrène et des acrylates est catalysée par le système [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2/BNPAH (1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′- diylhydrogénophosphate) en présence de Cu(OAc)2.H2O utilisé comme oxydant sous air. La réaction tandem oxydation des 2-pyridylméthanols / mono- ou di-α-alkylation sélective de liaisons sp3 C-H de 2-pyridylcétones avec des alcènes fonctionnalisés a été catalysée par le complexe de [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2 en présence de Cu(OAc)2.H2O dans le DCE ou le toluène. Dans la deuxième partie de ce travail, le complexe [RuCl2(p-cymène)]2 a été utilisé efficacement en hydrosilylation catalytique d'imines et d'amides primaires. Nombreuses aldimines et cétimines ont été réduites chémosélectivement en amines correspondantes en utilisant le PMHS comme silane « vert » dans l'éthanol à température ambiante. De plus les amides primaires ont été sélectivement transformés en amines secondaires dans une réaction sans solvant. / In this research doctoral thesis, we have shown that imines, 2-phenylpyridine, 2-phenyloxazoline, phenylpyrazole, benzo[h]quinoline led to cyclometallated ruthenium(II) complexes from [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and KOAc via sp2 C-H bond activation. [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 /KOAc/PPh3 is an efficient catalytic system for diarylation of imines and 2-phenyloxazolines in water, which gave higher activity than in organic solvents. Bulky amines were then synthesized through sequential catalytic C-H arylation and hydrosilylation of imines using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 catalyst. Challenging selective mono arylation of 2-pyridyl arylketones, leading to six-membered ruthenacycle intermediate, difficult to perform, was achieved with in situ generated Ru(O2CC6H4CF3)2(p-cymene) catalyst. The direct dehydrogenative oxidative alkenylation of aryloxazolines with styrenes and acrylates was catalyzed by [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2/BNPAH (1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′- diylhydrogenophosphate) catalytic system in the presence of Cu(OAc)2.H2O as an oxidant in air. Tandem catalytic oxidation of 2-pyridylmethanols and selective sp3 C-H (mono or di) α-alkylation of 2-pyridyl ketones with functional alkenes was performed by using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 complex in the presence of Cu(OAc)2.H2O in DCE or toluene. In the second part, it is shown that, [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 is a very efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of imines and primary amides. A wide range of aldimines and ketimines were successfully reduced to corresponding amines in high chemoselectivity by using PMHS as greener silane in ethanol at RT. Moreover, challengingly, primary amides could be selectively converted by hydrosilylation to the secondary amines under solvent free conditions.
