Cinética de polimerização avaliada por método rigoroso. / Free-radical polymerization kinetics solved by rigorous computation.

Melloni, Edoardo 14 July 2014 (has links)
A distribuição de pesos moleculares (DPM) de um polímero afeta as propriedades mecânicas, térmicas e reológicas do material. Além disso, a análise em tempo real de uma reação de polimerização é uma tarefa complicada e, consequentemente, os procedimentos de controle devem ser baseados em valores gerados pelos modelos. Por isso, é extremamente importante ter dados confiáveis sobre distribuições de pesos moleculares, melhorar a eficiência dos métodos existentes e desenvolver novos métodos capazes de prever as heterogeneidades das reações de polimerização. Experimentalmente, a DPM pode ser obtida usando técnicas como a cromatografia de permeação em gel. Para predizer a DPM, vários métodos foram desenvolvidos nas ultimas décadas. Um dos principais é o dos momentos estatísticos, baseado em conceitos puramente estatísticos, que não conseguem descrever completamente a DPM. Além disso, as aproximações com método de Galerkin usam polinômios ortogonais - no caso especifico polinômios de Laguerre - cujos coeficientes são calculados empregando os momentos estatísticos e a distribuição é gerada resolvendo um número de equações definido pelo usuário, relacionado à precisão desejada. Enfim, o método das funções geradoras de probabilidades foi utilizado para prever as DPMs, porém necessitando uma inversão da transformada de Laplace, que introduz problemas numéricos nem sempre possíveis de serem resolvidos. No presente trabalho, o sistema rigoroso de equações diferenciais ordinárias foi resolvido, com objetivo de reduzir as imprecisões e as limitações introduzidas pelas aproximações. Obter diretamente a DPM completa requer a resolução de um sistema contendo cerca de 2Nmax até 3Nmax equações diferenciais ordinárias rígidas, tarefa que há alguns anos era inviável devido a limitações relacionadas à capacidade de cálculo. Foi modelada a DPM para uma reação de polimerização radicalar livre de estireno e de metacrilato de metila. Um interesse especial foi dado à taxa de terminação que é, no momento, um dos temas mais investigados em polimerização por radicais livres. Os resultados das simulações foram comparados com dados experimentais tirados de reatores convencionais e, subsequentemente, com dados experimentais provenientes de um millireactor não convencional. / It is well known that the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of a synthetic polymer affects its mechanical, thermal and rheological properties. Furthermore, the on-line analysis for polymerization reaction is a difficult task and, consequently, the control procedures must rely on values given by models. As such, it is extremely important to have reliable data on the MWD, improve the efficiency of existing methods and develop new ones to predict the heterogeneities of polymerization reactions. Experimentally, the MWD can be obtained using techniques such as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). To predict the MWD, many methods have been developed over the last decades. One of the main methods is the statistical moment treatment, which is based on a pure statistical concept and do not describe the whole MWD. Moreover, Galerkin approximation uses orthogonal polynomials -in general Laguerre polynomials- whose coefficients are calculated exploiting the statistical moment definition and the distribution is generated by solving a user-defined number of equations based on the desired precision. Finally, probability-generating functions that have been used to predict MWDs require Laplace transforms inversions, introducing numerical issues that must be bypassed and are not always solvable. It has been decided to base the approach without adopting any of these methods but directly solving the rigorous ordinary differential equation (ODE) system in order to reduce the inaccuracies and the limitations introduced by approximations. The direct obtention of the MWD requires the resolution of a system containing approximately 2Nmax up to 3Nmax stiff ODE equations that, a few years ago, was unfeasible due computational time limitations. The MWDs for a free radical styrene polymerization system and a methyl methacrylate system have been modeled. A special focus was given to the termination rate constant, which is, at the present, one of the most investigated topics in free radical polymerization. The results of the simulations were compared to experimental data taken from conventional reactors and, subsequently, to experimental data coming from an unconventional millireactor.

Proteïnes com a microreactors en fotoquímica supramolecular

Marín Melchor, Mireia 20 February 2013 (has links)
La fotoquímica supramolecular es una herramienta muy utilizada para controlar la selectividad, la reactividad y el avance de las reacciones químicas. Con ella se aprovecha la estructura tridimensional del anfitrión para canalizar la conformación de los estados excitados de los sustratos que intervienen en la reacción. En la literatura se encuentran numerosos casos de fotorreacciones catalizadas por supramoléculas abióticas, pero los ejemplos con biomoléculas son escasos. En este contexto, el objetivo de la presente tesis ha sido estudiar reacciones fotoquímicas clásicas en el seno de biomoléculas ya que éstas pueden presentar ventajas respecto a las supramoléculas abióticas. Se han escogido las albúminas séricas como anfitriones bióticos, en base a dos propiedades claves: (i) son proteínas transportadoras que actúan como vehículo de una amplia variedad de sustancias; (ii) poseen dos sitios de unión diferenciados: el sitio I y el sitio II. La reorganización de foto-Fries fue la primera reacción abordada. Para ello se diseñaron varios sustratos que interaccionaban en los sitios de unión I y II de distintas albúminas. Distintos estudios cinéticos demostraron que los rendimientos de formación de los fotoproductos dependían del sitio de interacción y de la clase de albúmina utilizada. Se seleccionaron también derivados de avobenzona (AB) sustituídos en la posición ? de los carbonilos. Se demostró que éstos sólo existen bajo su forma ?-dicetónica, la cual puede desencadenar procesos de fototoxicidad. Se estudió mediante fotólisis de destello láser el efecto de la interacción de los tres derivados con HSA y los resultados mostraron el efecto protector de ésta frente al ataque por oxígeno y la auto-desactivación y reflejaron el entorno confinado proporcionado por la albúmina. Además, se investigó la fragmentación de Norrish tipo II de uno de los derivados, que resultó ser más lenta en presencia de albúmina. Por último, se consideró la fotoelectrociclación [6?] de la N- / Marín Melchor, M. (2013). Proteïnes com a microreactors en fotoquímica supramolecular [Tesis doctoral no publicada].

3-(2-Benzylbenzoyl)-4(1H)-quinolinones : une nouvelle classe de composés photochromiques photoréversibles / 3-(2-Benzylbenzoyl)-4(1H)-quinolinones : a new class of photoreversible photochromic compounds

Larina, Nina 19 November 2010 (has links)
Actuellement, les photochromes photoréversibles présentent un intérêt important en vue de leurs applications éventuelles comme interrupteurs optiques ou pour le traitement et le stockage de données. L’objectif principal de ce travail de thèse a été d’évaluer les 3-­-(2-­-benzylbenzoyl)-­-4-­-quinolones en tant que système photochromique photoréversible. Afin d’étudier la relation entre la structure chimique et le comportement photochromique de ce système, une série de nouvelles 3-­-(2-­-benzylbenzoyl)-­-4-­-quinolones à substitution variée a été préparée à l’aide de procédures connues ainsi qu’élaborées lors de ce travail. La photoréaction de ces nouveaux molecules étant très complexe, une méthode d’étude a été établie avec des 2-­-benzyl-­-3-­-benzoyl-­-4-­-quinolones photoénolisables au comportement plus simple. Leurs spectres d’absorption modélisés à l’aide de fonctions pekariennes ont été comparés avec les résultats des calculs quantiques. Le mécanisme selon lequel la réaction de décoloration se fait par l’ionisation des photoénols fortement acides via protonation des molécules du solvant a été établi. Enfin, la troisième partie est consacrée à l’étude des nouveaux dérivés de quinolones. D’après l’analyse de leurs spectres d’absorption, ainsi que les résultats des calculs quantiques, nous proposons un mécanisme où le transfert d’hydrogène photo-­-induit conduirait à la formation d’un intermédiaire biradicalaire, capable de se cycliser en dibenzo[b]acrydinones hydroxysubstituées. Un tel mécanisme expliquerait la forte influence qu’ont la nature des substituants en positions 1 et 2, ainsi que la température et la présence d’oxygène sur la régio-­- et stéréo-­-sélectivité de cette photoréaction. / Photoreversible photochromic compounds are currently of considerable interest from the point of view of their potential applications as molecular switches and for data storage and processing. The main target of the present investigation is to evaluate the scope and limitations of 3-­-(2-­-benzylbenzoyl)-­-4-­-quinolones as a photoreversible photochromic system. In order to investigate the relationship between quinolone chemical structures and photochemical behavior, a large series of new 3-­-(2-­-benzylbenzoyl)-­-4-­-quinolones with different substituents has been prepared using known as well as newly elaborated synthetic procedures. In the second part of the work a series of simpler photoenolizable 2-­-benzyl-­-3-­-benzoyl quinolones is studied by the means of fitting their UV-­-Vis absorption spectra and comparison with the results of quantum mechanical calculations at the TD DFT level. It was concluded that the mechanism of the reverse reaction involves ionization of the strongly acidic photoenols via protonation of the solvent molecules. The third part of the work includes investigation of the new quinolone derivatives. From the analyses of their absorption spectra and the results of quantum mechanical calculations, we propose a tentative mechanism, according to which the photoinduced hydrogen transfer yields a biradical, capable of cyclization into the hydroxy substituted dibenzo[b]acrydinones. This mechanism accounts for the observation that the nature of substituents in positions 1 and 2, the temperature and the presence of oxygen strongly affect regio-­- and stereoselectivity of the cyclization.

Synthèse de Hoodigogénine A, aglycone de glycostéroïdes extraits de Hoodia gordonii : vers la synthèse des 14β-hydroxy androstanes et /ou des 14β-hydroxy prégnanes

Ressault, Blandine 31 January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Les travaux décrits dans ce mémoire ont pour objet la synthèse d'un glycostéroïde appelé P57 isolé d'une plante succulente du nom de Hoodia gordonii présentant des propriétés anti-appétantes. La première partie de ce travail décrit la synthèse de la hoodigogénine A, aglycone du P57. La synthèse mise au point comprend comme étape clef une réaction de Norrish type I couplée à une réaction de Prins conduisant à l'introduction de la fonction hydroxyle en position 14β au départ de 12-oxo stéroïdes. L'étude réalisée a permis de montrer que la formation des diols 12β-14β ne dépendaient pas de la nature de la jonction des cycles A et B, mais de celle du substituant en position 20. Ainsi, il a été possible de réaliser la première synthèse de la hoodigogénine A en 13 étapes avec un rendement global de 3% au départ de la 3α-12α-diacétoxypregnanone mais également de trois analogues de la hoodigogénine A. La deuxième partie de ces travaux a porté sur la synthèse totale de 14β-hydroxy-androstanes. La méthodologie mise en oeuvre est basée sur une réaction tandem de Michael-aldol initiée par TiCl4 qui permet d'accéder efficacement à un dérivé bicyclique représentant les cycles C et D présents dans les stéroïdes. En généralisant cette réaction tandem, des dérivés de type diquinanes, hydrindanes et décalines ont pu être obtenus. La transformation d'un dérivé hydrindénone adéquatement fonctionnalisé en diène 1,3 suivie d'une réaction de Diels-Alder a permis la synthèse d'un premier dérivé tétracyclique 14β-hydroxylé. Deux autres dérivés tétracycliques ont également pu être préparés, au départ d'une hydrindiénone en combinant une réaction de Michael avec une annélation de type Robinson.

The first part of this work describes the synthesis of the hoodigogenin A, the aglycon of the P57. The key step of this synthesis was a Norrish type I reaction combined with a Prins reaction leading to the introduction of a 14β-hydroxyl function starting from the corresponding 12-keto steroids. The studies showed that the A/B ring junction has no influence on the Norrish type I-Prins reaction but that the substitution pattern at position 20 is important. Thus, the synthesis of the hoodigogenin A was realized for the first time in 13 steps with 3% global yield starting from the 3α-12α-diacetoxypregnanone and this methodology also allowed us to synthesize three analogs of the hoodigogenin A. The second part deals with the total synthesis of 14β-hydroxy-androstanes. In order to access to a bicyclic derivative representing cycles C and D of steroids, we worked on an intramolecular Michael-aldol reaction promoted by TiCl4. The extension of this Michael-aldol reaction afforded very efficiently a large variety of polyfunctionalized 5-5, 5-6 and 6-6 fused ring systems. Then, a Diels-Alder reaction from a 1,3- diene obtained from a hydrindenon derivative led us to a first tetracyclic compound bearing a 14β-hydroxyl function. Finally, two other tetracyclic derivatives had been obtained by a Michael reaction followed by a Robinson reaction.
