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.

Após avaliação do catalisador, solvente, temperatura e acidez do meio reacional na arilação do 2-acetoxiacrilato de metila com o sal tetrafluoroborato de p-metoxifenildiazônio, a melhor condição encontrada emprega Pd2dba3 e 2,6-di-terc-butil-4-metilpiridina em benzonitrila a 110 °C por 3 horas, fornecendo o produto em 59 % de rendimento. A utilização de outros sais de diazônio não foi eficiente e os produtos não foram obtidos. A arilação do 2-acetamidoacrilato de metila ocorreu em metanol a 65 °C, utilizando acetato de paladio (II) e 2,6-di-terc-butil-4-metilpiridina. Os rendimentos ficaram entre 24-73 % utilizando sais de arenodiazônio substituídos com iodo, fluor, metoxi ou nitro, além do 2-naftildiazônio e do benzenodiazônio. Os rendimentos insatisfatórios foram contornados com variando-se o grupo protetor da função amina de acetoxi para trifluoracetoxi. A arilação da olefina 2-trifluoroacetamido acrilato de metila, feita nas mesmas condições, ocorreu em rendimentos de 65-86 % para os mesmos sais. Os adutos nitrogenados 2-metoxilados obtidos foram submetidos a um protocolo eliminação/redução ou alquilação com o uso de BF3.OEt2 e nucleófilos de silano. Os derivados de fenilalanina protegidos foram obtidos em rendimentos variados e constituem uma alternativa para a obtenção de aminoácidos arilados não-naturais, a-substituídos ou não. Uma versão one-pot desta redução foi brevemente estudada mediante adição de hidreto de trietilsilano à reação de Heck. A eficiência desta reação em uma etapa foi comparável ao protocolo em duas etapas / Abstract: The arylation of 2-acetoxy or acetamido substituted acrylates was studied through the Heck reaction with arenediazonium salts. After evaluation of the catalyst, solvent, temperature and acidity of the reaction medium, methyl 2-acetoxyacrylate was arylated with p-methoxyphenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate under Pd2dba3 catalysis, with 2,6-di-terc-butyl-4-methylpyridine as base in benzonitrile at 110 °C for 3 hours. The Heck adduct was obtained in 59 % of yield. Other diazonium salts did not furnished the expected adducts in good yields. Methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate arylation occurred in methanol at 65 °C, using Pd(OAc)2 as catalyst and 2,6-di-terc-butyl-4-methylpyridine as base. Yields between 24-73 % were observed using diazonium salts substituted with iodine, fluoro, methoxy or nitro groups, besides 2-naphthyl or benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate. The lower yields were by-passed through methyl 2-trifluoroacetamidoacrylate arylation, under the same conditions, resulting in yields between 65-86 % for the same electrophiles. The aza-2-methoxylated adducts obtained were submitted to an elimination/reduction or alkylation protocol using BF3.OEt2 and silane nucleophiles. The protected phenylalanine derivatives were obtained in low to good yields and represent an alternative to prepare unnatural amino acids, a-substituted or not. A one-pot version of this reduction was briefly studied through triethylsilane hydride addition in the Heck reaction. The efficiency of this reaction was comparable with the two-step protocol / Mestrado / Quimica Organica / Mestre em Química

Diploma thesis deals with the experimental study of transdermal transport of individual hydroxyacids and their combination with water-soluble vitamins. During this work the literature review was prepared, which was focused on the use of hydroxyacids in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. At the same time the current state of use of water-soluble vitamins for topical applications was studied. Series of experiments was performed using Franz diffusion cells to simulate transdermal transport in vitro across cutaneous, synthetic and artificial Strat M ® membranes. The methodology of sample preparation and analysis of their transport properties was invented and optimized. The optimized methodology was subsequently used in a series of diffusion experiments in which the penetrated amount of hydroxyacids was analyzed by ion chromatography. The concentration of water-soluble vitamins was determined by HPLC. All examined active substances demonstrate positive penetration properties. The best results were obtained with combination of glycolic acid with pyridoxine.
