A number of 3,3'-disubstituted binaphthol-modified allylboronates (<strong>2. 42a-m</strong>) were prepared from the reaction between triallylborane and the corresponding 3,3'-disubstituted binaphthols. These chiral allylboronates could allylate carbonyl compounds to produce chiral homoallylic alcohols in high chemical and optical yields. Chiral ligands were readily recycled through simple acid-base extraction. Among all allylboronates tested, 3,3'-(CF₃)₂-BINOL-modified allylboronate (<strong>2. 42b</strong>) is an especially effective reagent that allows for allylborations of both aldehydes and ketones in high enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield and >99% <em>ee</em>). Reagent <strong>2. 42b</strong> represents one of the best allylation reagents for carbonyl compounds developed thus far. <br /><br /> Allylations of cyclic imines using 3,3'-disubstituted binaphthol-modified allylboronates (<strong>2. 42a-j</strong>) were carried out at low temperature. 3,3'-Bis[3,5-(CF₃)₂-C₆H₃]-binaphthol-modified allylboronate (<strong>2. 42j</strong>) gave the best enantioselectivities (91% <em>ee</em> to >99% <em>ee</em>) in the allylation of a variety of cyclic imines. This methodology represents the first successful enantioselective allylboration of cyclic imines. The versatility of the allylation products (chiral a-allyl cyclic amines) was demonstrated through efficient total syntheses of several naturally occurring alkaloids such as coniine, crispine A and corynantheidol. <br /><br /> 3,3'-Disubstituted binaphthol-modified alkynylboronates (<strong>4. 47a-g</strong>) were synthesized according to a reported procedure. It was found that these chiral alkynylboronates add to <em>N</em>-acylaldimines in an enantioselective manner to produce chiral propargylamides in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Up to >99% <em>ee</em> could be obtained with 3,3'-diphenyl binaphthol-modified alkynylboronates (<strong>4. 47f</strong>). This represents the first direct asymmetric synthesis of chiral propargylamides. Using this methodology, an antitubulin agent (-)-<em>N</em>-acetylcolchinol (AstraZeneca® ZD6126 phenol) was synthesized in 4 steps from commercially available 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde. <br /><br /> During a study of the asymmetric conjugate alkynylation of enones via chiral alkynylboronates, it was found that achiral dialkyl alkynylboronates could add to enones enantioselectively in the presence of catalytic amounts of chiral bidentate ligands (such as 3,3'-disubstituted binaphthols, diisopropyl tartrate and activated chiral amino acids). A catalytic cycle driven by "ligand-exchange" processes was proposed to rationalize this asymmetric induction. This is the first reported example of an asymmetric reaction that is promoted by a catalytic amount of an exchangeable chiral ligand on the boron reagent. More importantly, we have demonstrated a proof of principle that ligand exchange with boronates can be sufficiently fast that catalytic amounts of chiral ligands can be used to effect high levels of stereoselectivity. This catalytic protocol can potentially be applied to other asymmetric reactions providing the following three requirements are met: (1) the starting achiral boronate does not react with the electrophile (no background reaction); (2) the chiral boronate reacts with the electrophile and (3) ligand exchange or transesterification occurs under the reaction conditions. Potential applications of this principle include asymmetric allylboration, hydroboration, aldol reaction and reduction, just to name a few.

De nos jours, une des stratégies majeures dans la modulation de la pharmacocinétique des composés bioactifs est leur vectorisation et l’obtention de formes prodrogues. Ce travail est centré sur la vectorisation d’antitumoraux phosphorés à l’aide de peptides favorisant le passage membranaire. Nous avons alors réalisé la conjugaison d’aminoalkyl-bisphosphonates avec des séquences peptidiques afin de modifier leur temps de rétention dans l’organisme et d’augmenter leur internalisation cellulaire. Différents espaceurs possédant un motif carbonylé insaturé ont été évalués dans le couplage par la réaction d’addition aza- et thiaMichael afin d’aboutir à l’obtention d’un conjugué peptide-alendronate. Une approche prodrogue a également été réalisée avec la synthèse de dérivés de type bisphosphinates et l’obtention d’un analogue de l’alendronate. / Nowadays, one of the main strategies for pharmacokinetic modifications of bioactive compounds is their vectorization and the synthesis of prodrug derivatives. This work is focused on the vectorization of phosphorus antitumor agents with cell-penetrating peptides. We have then conjugated aminoalkyl-bisphosphonates with peptidic sequence to modify their retention time and increase their cellular internalization. Several linkers bearing an insaturated carbonyl moiety have been evaluated in conjugation by aza- and thia-Michael addition reaction to obtain a conjugated peptide-alendronate compounds. A prodrug approach has been conducted with the synthesis of bisphosphinate derivatives and an analog of alendronate has been obtained.

Le glycérol est une molécule bio-sourcée, abondamment disponible, issue de la saponification des corps gras et de la transestérification des huiles végétales. Les travaux portent sur l'utilisation du glycérol comme base structurale de cœurs de dendrimère, en particulier par addition d'oxa-Michael sur des dérivés acryliques. La fonctionnalisation en surface de dendrimères par des motifs imidazolium est explorée afin d’obtenir un dendrimère liquide ionique (DLI) aux propriétés thermosensibles. Le chapitre bibliographique est consacré dans une première partie, aux méthodes de synthèse de dendrimère mettant en jeu des dérivés acryliques et à leurs applications et dans une seconde partie, aux travaux consacrés à l'addition oxa-Michael d'alcools sur des dérivés acryliques. Le deuxième chapitre porte sur les synthèses, à partir du glycérol, de la base structurale du cœur de dendrimère. La réaction d’acylation du glycérol par le chlorure d’acryloyle est présentée ainsi que les différentes constructions de dendrimères poly(estersulfure) à partir du triacrylate de glycérol. L’addition nucléophile du glycérol sur l’acroléine, l’acrylamide, des acrylates et l’acrylonitrile a été étudiée. Avec les acrylates, la réaction d'addition nucléophile est en compétition avec la réaction de transestérification, à l’exception de l'acrylate de t-butyle résistant en milieu basique. Avec l’acrylonitrile, la synthèse du 1,2,3-tricyanoéthylglycéryléther a pu être menée sans solvant, en 5 heures à température ambiante, en présence d’un catalyseur peu coûteux (la soude 4 mol %) avec un rendement de 88% et une pureté de 99% sans méthode de purification. Les intermédiaires de réaction mono- et di-cyanoéthylglycéryléther ont été caractérisés et ont permis un suivi cinétique de la réaction. La synthèse de dendrimères poly(amidoamine) à partir du 1,2,3-tricyanoéthylglycéryl éther fait l’objet du troisième chapitre : synthèse des générations G0 à G2,5, caractérisation des dendrimères. Des défauts de structure dus à une cyclisation intramoléculaire ont été mis en évidence par HRMS pour les générations entières et les dendrimères de demi-génération Gn+5 (n entier) sont purifiés par colonne chromatographique. Différentes voies de synthèse pour l’obtention d’un DLI à termini imidazolium sont présentées / Glycerol is a bio-based molecule, abundantly available, from the saponification of triglyceride and the transesterification of vegetable oils. The work described in this PhD thesis concerns the use of glycerol as structural base of dendrimer's core, in particular by oxa-Michael addition on acrylic derivatives. The surface functionalization of dendrimers by imidazolium units is explored in order to obtain an ionic liquid dendrimer (DLI) with thermosensitive properties. In the first part, the bibliographic chapter presents the methods of dendrimers synthesis involving acrylic derivatives and their applications and, in a second part, the work introduces the oxa-Michael addition of alcohols to acrylic derivatives. The second chapter deals with the synthesis of the structural base of the dendrimer core from glycerol. The reaction of acylation of glycerol with acryloyl chloride is presented as well as the various constructions of poly(estersulfide) dendrimers from glycerol triacrylate. The nucleophilic addition of glycerol to acrolein, acrylamide, acrylates and acrylonitrile has been studied. With the acrylates, the nucleophilic addition reaction is in competition with the transesterification reaction, with the exception of t-butyl acrylate, resistant in basic medium. With acrylonitrile, the synthesis of 1,2,3-tricyanoethylglycerylether was carried out without solvent in 5 hours at room temperature in the presence of an inexpensive catalyst (4 mol% sodium hydroxide) in a yield of 88% and purity of 99% without purification method. The mono- and di-cyanoethylglycerylether reaction intermediates were characterized and allowed kinetic monitoring of the reaction. The synthesis of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers from 1,2,3-tricyanoethylglycerylether is the subject of the third chapter: synthesis of generations G0 to G2,5 and characterization of dendrimers. The defects in the structure due to intramolecular cyclization have been demonstrated by HRMS for generations Gn and the half-generation dendrimers Gn+5 (n=0, 1, 2) were purified by chromatographic column. Several routes of synthesis for the synthesis of DLI with imidazolium termini are presented

The thesis has been divided in two chapters: Chapter I describes the preparation of primary-amine monocarbamates from enantiopure trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines and their use as chiral organocatalysts in the enantioselective Michael addition reaction of aldehydes and ketones to maleimides, to synthesize enantiomerically enriched substituted succinimides. In the conjugate addition reaction of aldehydes to maleimides in conventional volatile organic solvents, it has been found that these organocatalysts are able to generate both enantiomers of the corresponding succinimide using only one enantiomeric form of the catalyst, just by changing the polarity of the solvent. Theoretical calculations justify the mechanism through which this inversion of enantioinduction occurred. In addition, these organocatalysts were used in the enantioselective Michael addition reaction of aldehydes to maleimides, using Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) as recyclable and environmentally sustainable reaction medium, yielding the corresponding succinimides with excellent yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 94%). The succinimides can be extracted from the DES, which retains the chiral organocatalyst, allowing to reuse both solvent and catalyst. Moreover, the conjugate addition of ketones to maleimides using conventional solvents, allows obtaining the corresponding succinimides with excellent yields but with moderate enantioselectivities (up to 66%). Chapter II shows the results obtained in the enantioselective Michael addition reaction of aldehydes and ketones to nitroalkenes, using the former trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-derived aminocarbamates as chiral organocatalysts, obtaining enantioenriched γ-nitrocarbonyl compounds. In the conjugate addition of isobutyraldehyde to nitroalkenes, the corresponding γ-nitroaldehydes were obtained with enantioselectivities up to 84%. In addition, the enantioselective conjugate addition reaction of ketones to nitroalkenes allowed to obtain interesting γ-nitroketones with high enantioselectivities (up to 96%). Theoretical calculations justify the mechanism involved during this enantioselective process.
