Study and applications of the H-Si bond activation of silanes by iridacycles : a contribution to the design of multicompetent catalysts / Etude et applications de la réaction d'activation des silanes par les iridacycles : une contribution à l'élaboration de catalyseurs multicompétentsHamdaoui, Mustapha 30 January 2017 (has links)
Une nouvelle famille de précatalyseurs à base d'lr(lll) a été découverte. La facilité de leur préparation, leur remarquable stabilité, et surtout leur excellente efficacité catalytique dans plusieurs réactions, c.-à-d. la 0-silylation d'alcools, l'hydrosilylation de fonctions CO et CN et l'activation de la liaison C-F, constituent un ensemble de propriétés que d'autres précatalyseurs organométalliques similaires connus à ce jour ne possèdent pas. Le fait le plus significatif est la mise en évidence expérimentale et théorique que les espèces catalytiques impliquées fonctionnement comme une paire de Lewis du type donneur-accepteur [lr(lll)H]-->[SiR3]. Dans ce cas le ligand silylium doit être considéré comme un ligand Z en appliquant le formalisme de Green, ce qui suggère un état d'oxidation formel de +Ill pour l'atome d'iridium. Cette thèse a contribué à une meilleure compréhension de la chimie du silylium appliquée à la chimie organométallique, et a abouti à l'émergence d'un nouveau champ de recherche qui pourra permettre l'élaboration de nouveaux précatalyseurs multicompétents. / A new family of highly active iridacyclic lr(lll) precatalysts has been discovered. Notably, these ionic iridacycles are very stable so that their handling under air whether in solution or as solid powder is possible. The relative simplicity of their molecular structures allows their preparation on gram scale through a very simple and convenient synthetic protocol. We identified important iridium-silane intermediates involved in the catalysis of various reactions, e.g. the 0-silylation of alcohols, the hydrosilylation of CO and CN functions, and the activation of the C(sp3)-F bond of fluorocarbons. Experimental and theoretical studies of these intermediates point towards a Lewis donor-acceptor structural formulation of the type [lr(lll)H]-->[SiR3]. These results constitute a significant contribution to the design of future multicompetent precatalysts, and provide an original insight to the bonding within the Si-lr-H motif by considering the silylium ion [SiR3]+ as a Z-type ligand rather than a "traditional" X ligand.

Molecular Mechanisms and Determinants of Species Sensitivity in Thalidomide TeratogenesisLee, Crystal J. J. 14 August 2013 (has links)
The expanding therapeutic use of thalidomide (TD) remains limited by its species-specific teratogenicity in humans and rabbits, but not rodents.
The R and S isomers of TD may be selectively responsible for its respective therapeutic and teratogenic effects, but rapid in vivo racemization makes this impossible to confirm. Fluorothalidomide (FTD), a fluorinated TD analogue with stable, non-racemizing isomers, may serve as a model compound for determining stereoselective effects. In vivo, FTD was undetectable in plasma, suggesting rapid breakdown, as confirmed in vitro, where FTD hydrolyzed up to 22-fold faster than TD. Unlike TD, FTD in pregnant rabbits and mice was highly toxic and lethal to both dams and fetuses. In rabbit embryo culture, FTD initiated optic (eye) vesicle and hindbrain but not classic limb bud embryopathies. Chemical instability, potent general toxicity and absence of limb bud embryopathies make FTD an unsuitable stereoselective model for TD teratogenesis.
TD teratogenesis may involve its bioactivation by embryonic prostaglandin H synthases (PHSs) to a free radical intermediate that increases embryopathic reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. However, the teratogenic potential of rapidly formed TD hydrolysis products and the determinants of species-specific teratogenesis are unclear.
For some teratogens, mouse strains that are resistant in vivo are susceptible in embryo culture, suggesting maternal and/or placental determinants of risk. However, TD and two hydrolysis products, 2-phthalimidoglutaramic acid (PGMA) and 2-phthalimidoglutaraic acid (PGA), were non-embryopathic in CD-1 mouse embryo culture. Also, mice deficient in oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which repairs oxidatively damaged DNA, were resistant to TD embryopathies in culture and in vivo. Therefore, murine resistance to TD teratogenesis is dependent on embryonic factors, rather than maternal/placental determinants or increased DNA repair.
In contrast, rabbit embryos exposed in culture to TD, PGMA and PGA exhibited head/brain, otic (ear) vesicle and classic limb bud embryopathies, validating the first mammalian embryo culture model for TD teratogenesis and providing the first evidence of a teratogenic role for TD hydrolysis products. Pretreatment with eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), a dual PHS/lipoxygenase inhibitor, or phenylbutylnitrone (PBN), a free radical spin trapping agent, completely blocked TD, PGMA and PGA-initiated embryopathies, implicating a PHS-dependent, ROS-mediated embryopathic mechanism.

Metal catalysed alkylation of carbonyl compounds with formaldehydeLorusso, Patrizia January 2015 (has links)
Formaldehyde is a chemical used widely in the manufacture of building materials. A remarkable example is represented by the Lucite two-step Alpha technology for the large scale production of methyl methacrylate (MMA), the essential building block of all acrylic-based products. Esters and ketones are important intermediates in the manufacture of acrylate esters therefore α-hydroxymethylenation of carbonyl compounds using formaldehyde as a one carbon alkylating agent and subsequent dehydration to the corresponding methylenated derivatives has been explored in the current work. We report a novel catalytic approach for the synthesis of methyl methacrylate (MMA) via one-pot α-methylenation of methyl propanoate (a chemical intermediate of the ALPHA process) with formaldehyde, generated in situ by Ru-catalysed dehydrogenation of methanol. Elucidation of the mechanism involved in the catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol along with the collateral alcohol decarbonylation reaction was gained through a combined experimental and DFT study. The development of an alternative process where anhydrous formaldehyde is produced in situ would provide a simplification over the current second step of the ALPHA technology where the formaldehyde is initially produced as formalin, subsequently dehydrated to afford anhydrous formaldehyde in order to ensure high selectivity to MMA. As an alternative approach, ketones, in particular 3-pentanone and 2-butanone, were targeted as potential substrates in order to overcome some of the problems related to competing reactions that occur at the ester group. Hydroxymethylenation, followed by dehydration and Baeyer-Villager oxidation, possibly catalysed by enzymes to reverse the normal selectivity, leads to the formation of acrylate esters. The catalytic reaction is enabled by a gold carbene hydroxide complex in such a way that the substrate undergoes C-H activation and the nascent metal alkyl acts as a nucleophile towards the electrophilic formaldehyde, supplied in the form of alcoform* (solution of paraformaldehyde in methanol).

Direct observation and characterisation of 3-azido-2H-azirines: postulated, but highly elusive intermediatesWeigand, Kevin, Singh, Neeraj, Hagedorn, Manfred, Banert, Klaus 29 March 2017 (has links)
For the first time, successful synthesis of an unknown class of compounds, 3-azido-2H-azirines, which are implicated as highly reactive intermediates in the thermolysis of the corresponding 1,1-diazidoethenes, has been performed. These elusive heterocycles have been detected and characterised by low-temperature NMR and in situ IR spectroscopy. Even the parent compound, 3-azido-2H-azirine, has been observed via low-temperature photolysis of 1,1-diazidoethene, as a highly reactive species with a half-life period of only 12 min at −40 °C. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw. Nationallizenz frei zugänglich.

Synthesis with Perfect Atom Economy: Generation of Furan Derivatives by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Acetylenedicarboxylates at CyclooctynesBanert, Klaus, Bochmann, Sandra, Ihle, Andreas, Plefka, Oliver, Taubert, Florian, Walther, Tina, Korb, Marcus, Rüffer, Tobias, Lang, Heinrich 25 September 2014 (has links)
Cyclooctyne and cycloocten-5-yne undergo, at room temperature, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates 1a,b to generate furan-derived short-lived intermediates 2, which can be trapped by two additional equivalents of 1a,b or alternatively by methanol, phenol, water or aldehydes to yield polycyclic products 3b–d, orthoesters 4a–c, ketones 5 or epoxides 6a,b, respectively. Treatment of bis(trimethylsilyl) acetylenedicarboxylate (1c) with cyclooctyne leads to the ketone 7 via retro-Brook rearrangement of the dipolar intermediate 2c. In all cases, the products are formed with perfect atom economy.

Generation of 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazole and Study of the Decomposition Products / Erzeugung von 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazol und Untersuchung der ZersetzungsprodukteSingh, Neeraj 16 December 2015 (has links) (PDF)
4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazoles are postulated to be key intermediates in the synthesis of ketones from alkenes on an industrial scale, alkylation of DNA in vivo, decomposition of N-nitrosoureas (potent carcinogens), and are also a subject of great interest for theoretical chemists. In this thesis, formation of the parent compound and decay into secondary products has been studied by NMR monitoring analysis. The elusive properties and the intermediacy of the parent compound, 4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazole, in the decomposition of suitably substituted N-nitrosoureas using Tl(I) alkoxides as bases, have been confirmed by the characterisation of its decay products viz., ethylene oxide, acetaldehyde, and especially diazomethane, at very low temperatures by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 15N NMR, and relevant 2D NMR methods. Moreover, it has been shown that the methylation of nucleophilic molecules by 3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazolium salts, which are considered to be activated forms of β−hydroxyalkylnitrosamines, does not involve 4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazole as an intermediate, as has been reported in literature; instead, nucleophilic substitution leading to synthesis of open-chain products dominates the reaction. / 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazole wurden als Schlüsselintermediate in der industriellen Synthese von Ketonen aus Alkenen, der in vivo Alkylierung von DNA und der Zersetzung von N-Nitrosoharnstoffen (potente Karzinogene) postuliert. Sie sind ebenso von großem Interesse in der theoretischen Chemie. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Bildung der Stammverbindung und deren Zersetzung in sekundäre Produkte mittels NMR-Verfolgung studiert. Die ausgesprochene Kurzlebigkeit der Stammverbindung 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazol wurde durch die Charakterisierung der Produkte bei der Zersetzung geeignet substituierter N-Nitrosoharnstoffe mit Tl(I)-Alkoxiden bestätigt. Die Zersetzungsprodukte Ethylenoxid, Acetaldehyd und besonders Diazomethan wurden bei sehr niedrigen Temperaturen mittels 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 15N-NMR und relevanten 2D-NMR-Methoden charakterisiert.
Des Weiteren konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Methylierung nucleophiler Spezies mit 3-Methyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazoliumsalzen, welchen als aktivierte Äquivalente der β−Hydroxyalkylnitrosamine verstanden werden, nicht zur Bildung von 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,3-oxadiazol als Intermediat führt, so wie dies in der Literatur berichtet wurde. Stattdessen wird die Bildung offenkettiger Produkte durch nukleophile Substitution bevorzugt.
