Le travail de recherche concerne l'utilisation de catalyseurs à base de métaux de transition: ruthénium, iridium, cobalt, argent, pour la transformation de substrats bio-sourcés renouvelables en produits à valeur ajoutée pour l'industrie chimique et l'énergie. La transformation par transfert d'hydrogène de l'acide lévulinique en γ-valérolactone a d'abord été développée avec de nouveaux catalyseurs du ruthénium et de l'iridium porteurs d'un ligand dipyridylamine et d'un chlorure en utilisant l'acide formique comme source d'hydrogène. Puis de nouveaux catalyseurs zwitterioniques de type ruthénium et iridium(sulfato)(dipyridylamine) ont été préparés et ils ont conduit aux meilleures productivités observées pour la réduction de l'acide lévulinique en γ-valérolactone par hydrogénation directe. Sur la base des excellentes performances des complexes iridium(sulfato)dans des processus de réduction, l'amination réductrice de l'acide lévulinique et de l'acide o-formylbenzoïque a été réalisée et a permis la synthèse efficace de dérivés de type pyrrolidones, en particulier à partir d'amines primaires encombrées. La déshydrogénation sélective de l'acide formique dans des conditions douces sans additif en milieu aqueux ou en absence de solvant a été développée avec les mêmes types de catalyseurs de l'iridium porteurs du ligand modifié diméthylaminodipyridylamine. Finalement, une méthode d'hydrogénation douce de cétones a été mise en évidence en présence d'un système catalytique à base de nanoparticules d'argent générées in situ. Ce système catalytique permet d'obtenir de bonnes efficacité et sélectivité vis-à-vis d'autre groupement fonctionnels. / This research work deals with the use of catalysts based on transition metals, such as ruthenium, iridium, cobalt, silver for transformations of renewable bio-based substrates to valuable products for applications in chemical industry and energy. The transfer hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone with novel ruthenium- and iridium(dipyridylamine)chloride complexes using formic acid as hydrogen source was first developed. Then, novel zwitterionic ruthenium and iridium(sulfato)(dipyridylamine) catalysts were prepared, which displayed the highest turnover numbers reported for the reduction of levulinic acid into γ valerolactone using H₂ as hydrogen source. Based on the high catalytic performance of the iridium(sulfato)complexes in reduction processes, the efficient reductive amination of levulinic acid and o formylbenzoic acid, in particular with bulky primary amines, for the synthesis of pyrrolidone derivatives was disclosed. The selective dehydrogenation of formic acid under mild conditions in aqueous media or neat conditions without using an organic additive has been developed using iridium catalysts of the same family equipped with a modified dimethylaminodipyridylamineas ligand. Finally, an unprecedented hydrogenation of ketones in the presence of in situ generated silvernanoparticleswas discovered. High efficacy and functional group selectivity have been achieved in most cases.

Ces travaux de thèse traitent de la polymérisation anionique combinée à deux méthodologies différentes d’activation du monomère visant à contrôler les réactivités des monomères et/ou des espèces actives lors de la propagation pour la synthèse de polyéthers et de polyamide-3. L’étude de nouveaux systèmes efficaces d’amorçage/propagation à base de magnésium et d’aluminium pour la polymérisation anionique par ouverture de cycles des époxydes substitués est présentée. Deux types de polyéthers réticulables ont également été synthétisés par l’utilisation de bromure de tétraoctylammonium et de triisobutyl-aluminium. Dans le premier cas, l’objectif est d’incorporer des fonctions furane pendantes le long des chaînes polyéthers. Dans le second cas il s’agit d’introduire des doubles liaisons au sein même du squelette polyéther. Les réticulations ont ensuite été effectuées thermiquement par le biais d’une chimie réversible de type Diels-Alder entre groupement furane et maléimide pour le premier cas et par vulcanisation pour le deuxième. Enfin, une étude menant à une compréhension mécanistique a été conduite sur la synthèse de polyamide-3 en masse par polymérisation par transfert d’hydrogène à partir de l’acrylamide. / The studies presented in this thesis report on the use of the anionic polymerization with two different methodologies of monomer activation aiming to control the reactivity of monomers and/or growing species for the synthesis of polyethers and polyamide-3. New magnesium/aluminium active systems efficient for the anionic ringopening polymerization of substituted epoxides are proposed and developed. Cross-linkable polyethers were also synthesized by using the combination of tetraoctylammonium bromide with triisobutylaluminum. Furan groups or double bonds were introduced as pendant or inchain functions respectively in polyether-based materials. The so-formed polymers were cross-linked using reversible Diels-Alder reaction between furan and maleimide, and vulcanization for the double bonds. Finally, we investigated the mechanism of the hydrogentransfer polymerization of acrylamide in bulk conditions as a sustainable route to get polyamide-3.

In this thesis, it has been studied the deamination of aromatic amines, through in situ formed diazonium salts as reaction intermediates, catalyzed by salicylic acid, a nontoxic, eco-friendly and economic catalyst. In the early part of the thesis (Chapter I) it has studied the deamination process using THF as solvent as hydrogen donor and anilines as radical source, to carry the hydrodeamination reaction, as well as the process in its deuterodeamination manner using deuterated solvent. Following with this study in Chapter II and Chapter III, it has been studied the addition of the aromatic radicals, generated with the methodology employed in the first chapter, to different types of double bond, to form α-arylketones (Chapter II) and γ-aryl lactones, throw a following intramolecular cyclization (Chapter III). Finally, in Chapter IV was studied the construction of arylphosphonates, starting from anilines as radical source, and triphenylphosphite, and in this case specially, mechanism was hard explored. In every work, the methodologies could be scaled-up above 1 g, reaction mechanisms were proposed and studied through control and mechanistical experiments, and follow reactions were carried out.

A new technology for biotechnological treatment of mine waters with both high concentrations of heavy metals and sulphate was developed. The technology is based on the technical coupling of microbially mediated hydrolysis, fermentation and microbial sulphate reduction in a self-stabilising process. Electron donor for sulphate reduction is supplied by degradation of a solid substrate (silage). Elimination of metals is primarily achieved by sulphide precipitation within the sulphate reduction zone. The organic compounds are either supplied by elution or by hydrolysis of polymeric compounds which was named active elution. The concept was realised as a two-phase process with (active) elution in the first phase (R1) and sulphate reduction and metal elimination in the second phase (R2). With this process setup the supply of sufficient amounts of electron donor in R1, a stable and effective sulphate reduction yield as the basis of metal elimination in R2 and a stable separation of microbial processes in R1 and R2 was achieved at hydraulic retention times of 69 h in R1 and 40 h in R2. Almost complete elimination of heavy metals was achieved from wastewaters with 0.2 mM Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Mn2. A structurised mathematical model describing the two-phase process was developed on the basis of literature values and tested with data from continuous experiments. Microbial processes were significantly influenced in the presence of precipitated heavy metal sulfides. The effect was dependent on both the bound metal (Ni2+ or Fe2+) and the relative distance between sediment and biomass. / Es wurde eine neuartige Technologie zur biotechnologischen Reinigung von schwermetallbelasteten, sulfathaltigen Bergbauwässern entwickelt. Die Technologie basiert auf der technischen Kopplung von mikrobiell vermittelter Hydrolyse, Fermentation und mikrobieller Sulfatreduktion in einem selbststabilisierenden Prozess, wobei aus Abbau eines festen Substanzgemisches (Silage) Elektronendonor zur Sulfatreduktion bereitgestellt wird. Die Schwermetallelimination erfolgt vorrangig durch sulfidische Fällung, die technisch einstufig mit der mikrobiellen Sulfatreduktion realisiert wurde. Die organischen Verbindungen wurden durch Elution bereitgestellt bzw. durch hydrolytischen Abbau von polymeren Verbindungen. Hierfür wurde der Begriff der ?Aktiven Elution? geprägt. Die Konzeption wurde technisch zweistufig umgesetzt. In der ersten Stufe (R1) erfolgt die (Aktive) Elution, in der zweiten Stufe (R2) erfolgen Sulfatreduktion und Schwermetallelimination. Mit der verfahrenstechnischen Umsetzung wurde die Bereitstellung einer ausreichenden Menge an Elektronendonor in R1, eine effektive und stabile Sulfatreduktionsausbeute als Bedingung der Schwermetallelimination in R2 und eine weitgehende Trennung der mikrobiellen Prozesse in R1 und R2 bei Verweilzeiten von 69 h in R1 und 40 h in R2 erreicht. Bei Behandlung von wässrigen Lösungen mit 0,2 mM Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ und Mn2+ konnte eine nahezu vollständige Elimination der Schwermetalle aus der Lösung erreicht werden. Es wurde ein strukturiertes mathematisches Modell für den zweistufigen Prozess auf der Basis von Literaturangaben entwickelt und anhand der kontinuierlichen Laborversuche überprüft. Es wurde ein erheblicher Einfluss schwermetallsulfidischer Präzipitate auf die mikrobiellen Prozesse festgestellt. Dabei wurde dieser Einfluss in Abhängigkeit von der Art der gebundenen Metallionen (Ni2+ oder/und Fe2+) und in Abhängigkeit der relativen räumlichen Anordnung von Sediment und Biomasse festgestellt.

Deux nouveaux concepts, visant à reproduire la chimie radicalaire des diétains à l’aide de radicaux centrés sur le silicium, sont présentés à travers ce manuscrit. Le premier concept introduit les “silaboranes”, des molécules constituées d’un motif de type silane et d’un atome de bore. Ceux-ci ont pour la première fois été exploités comme générateurs de radicaux triméthylsilyle via l’utilisation de la réaction de SHi sur le silicium (Substitution Homolytique Intramoléculaire) à partir de disilanes. Des études cinétiques et de modélisation moléculaires de la réaction de SHi ont, entre autres, permis de rationaliser les résultats. Le potentiel des “silaboranes” en tant que substituts des diétains a été entrevu à travers des réactions d’additions radicalaires d’halogénures sur des éthers d’oxime sulfonylés. Le concept des "silaboranes" a ensuite été étendu à des hydrures de silicium, grâce à une réaction de transfert d’hydrogène intramoléculaire, permettant de produire des radicaux triphénylsilyles. Le second concept a révélé la capacité des allyl tris(triméthylsilyl)silanes pour reproduire les réactions radicalaires des diétains via une réaction de beta-fragmentation du groupement tris(triméthylsilyle). Ces substrats, source de radicaux tris(triméthysilyle) et simples d’accès, se sont avérés d’intéressants candidats pour assister l’addition de dérivés bromés et iodés sur des substrats sulfonylés de type allyl, vinyl et éther d’oxime. / Two new concepts, aiming to substitute ditin radical chemistry by using silyl radicals, are developed throughout this manuscript. The first concept introduces “silaboranes”, molecules made up of a silane unit and a boron atom. For the first time, the ability of these precursors to generate trimethylsilyl radicals was demonstrated by using the SHi reaction at silicon (Intramolecular Homolytic Substitution) from disilanes. Besides, results are supported by kinetic and computationnal studies of the SHi reaction at silicon. Capacity of “silaboranes” to achieve tin-free radical processes was demonstrated thanks to radical addition of halogenated species on sulfonyl oxime ethers. “Silaboranes” concept was then extended to silicon hydrides using intramolecular hydrogen transfer as source of triphenylsilyl radicals. The second concept highlights the ability of allyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes to make possible tin-free radical reactions via beta-fragmentation of the tris(trimethylsilyl) group. These compounds, source of tris(trimethylsilyl) radicals and easily available, open very interesting perspectives in tin-free radical addition of bromides and iodides species on sulfonyl derivatives as allyl sulfones, vinyl sulfones or sulfonyl oxime ethers.
