The racemic homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohol derivatives were resolved by applying chemoenzymatic method using various lipase type enzymes i.e., PS-C II, Lipozyme, CAL-B. The enantiomeric excess values of the resultant alcohols were determined by HPLC. These enantiomerically enriched homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohols were subjected to N-propargylation and N-allylation, respectively, by SN2 and modified Mitsunobu reactions. During the course of all reactions, stereochemistry of the chiral centers were under controlling according to the known reaction mechanisms. The resultant chiral N-tosylated enyne derivatives afforded the corresponding chiral fused cyclopenta[c]pyridinone derivatives (69, 73, 75 and 77) with acceptable chemical yields and excellent diastereoslectivity depending upon the conformational effect on the complete remote stereochemical control for the newly generated chiral centers. The chemoenzymatic applications done with biocatalysis (lipases) and the Pauson-Khand reaction are involved in &ldquo / Green Chemistry&rdquo / approach.

In this thesis, an intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction of chiral enynes derived from homoallyl, allyl and homopropargyl alcohols is described. For this purpose, 2-heteroaryl substituted homoallyl, allyl and homopropargyl alcohols are easily and efficiently resolved through enzymatic resolution in a high ee (91-99%) with a known stereochemistry. Each enantiomerically enriched enyne derived from homoallyl and homopropargyl alcohols affords the conformationally most stable diastereomeric cyclopenta[c]pyran ring system as a sole product, whereas enantiomerically enriched enynes derived from allyl alcohols give the diastereomeric cis:trans mixture of cyclopenta[c]furan ring system. In addition these, an intramolecular Pauson&ndash / Khand reaction of camphor tethered enynes derived from homoallyl, homomethallyl, and homopropargyl alcohols is also described. Accordingly, homoallyl, homomethallyl, and homopropargyl moieties are easily constructed on the camphor carbonyl group with excellent diastereoselectivity due to endo-face selectivity, and with known stereochemistry. Each enantiomerically pure enyne affords the conformationally most stable diastereomeric spirocyclic cyclopenta[c]pyran ring system.

A novel application of the Pauson-Khand reaction was applied to the synthesis of a series of bridged azatricyclic piperazines. This method represents the first application of the Pauson-Khand reaction to synthesize azabridged scaffolds. The ubiquity of bridged azabicyclic ring systems in biologically active natural product skeletons has provided the synthetic chemist with a wealth of opportunity for development over the last century. To this day, the development of new methodologies to tackle these structurally challenging systems remains at the forefront of synthetic chemistry. During our efforts to achieve a total synthesis of the stemofoline alkaloids, we have thus far developed a novel and scalable synthetic strategy to access the fully functionalized caged azatricyclic core of these challenging alkaloids. The overall synthetic strategy we have implemented began with the commercially available and affordable 2-deoxy-D-ribose as a chiral starting material. Furthermore, we have developed a novel 1,3-dipole cascade cycloaddition, which was successfully employed as the key step in the construction of the bridged azatricyclic core of the stemofoline alkaloids. / text

Finally Chapter 6 contains the description of the experiments performed along with relevant analytical data. / text

La thapsigargine (Tg) est une lactone sesquiterpène polyoxygénée appartenant à la famille des guaianolides, isolée de Thapsia (Apiacae), une plante poussant communément dans le basin méditerranéen. Son intérêt dans le traitement du cancer de la prostate est basé sur son potentiel inhibiteur de l’enzyme endo/sarcoplasmique calcium ATPase (SERCA). Ce phénomène conduit à une augmentation de la concentration du calcium dans le lumen du réticulum endoplasmique et engendre une apoptose cellulaire. Dans un premier temps, un modèle 8-desoxy-bicyclo[5.3.0]decadiénone, de structure proche du squelette de la Tg, a été synthétisé par le biais d’une réaction clé de Pauson-Khand allène-yne catalysée par un complexe de rhodium. L’approche directe développée est robuste avec de hautes sélectivités et rendements. Cette voie a ensuite été appliquée à la synthèse du produit naturel. A partir d’un époxyde optiquement enrichi, la partie Sud de la Tg (le motif lactonique) est tout d’abord mise en place. Les centres C6 et C8 sont ensuite construits respectivement par alcynylation/réduction asymétrique et par propargylation énantiosélective. Cette première approche a permis d’isoler un produit énantiopure possédant les centres chiraux C6, C7 et C8 ainsi que du motif lactonique en dix-sept étapes. Une seconde voie a été initiée permettant la mise en place plus rapide de la partie Sud de la molécule incluant les centres asymétriques C6, C7, C8 et C11 par le biais d’une réaction de dihydroxylation. Cette seconde voie a permis d’isoler un produit racémique possédant les centres chiraux C6, C7, C8 et C11 ainsi que du motif lactonique en dix étapes. Parallèlement, une étude méthodologique a été menée sur la réaction de Pauson-Khand allénol-yne intramoléculaire. Treize composés bicycliques ont été synthétisés en série acétal et NTs. / Thapsigargin (Tg) is a highly oxygenated sesquiterpene lactone belonging to the guaianolide family, isolated from the Mediterranean plant species Thapsia (Apiaceae). Its interest towards treatment of prostate cancer is based on the potency of this compound as an inhibitor of the endo/sarcoplasmic calcium ATPase (SERCA) inducing an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration and leading to apoptotic cell death. A straightforward approach to a highly functionalized 8-desoxy-bicyclo[5.3.0]decadienone model close to the Tg framework has been achieved through a key Rh(I) allenic Pauson-Khand reaction (APKR). The synthetic route developed therein is robust and the yields and selectivities are high. This approach was used in the synthesis of the natural compound. Starting from the same chiral epoxide, the bottom portion of the Tg (lactone core) is first built, then C6 and C8 carbons are functionalized respectively by asymmetric reduction and enantioselective propargylation. This first way allowed to synthesize a seventeen steps-enantiopure product with C6, C7, C8 chiral centers and the lactone core. A second way is performed to set up faster the bottom part of the molecule included C6, C7, C8 and C11 asymmetric centers through a dihydroxylation step. This second approach allowed to synthesize a ten steps-racemic product with C6, C7, C8, C11 chiral centers and the lactone core. Meanwhile, a methodological study was conducted on the intramolecular allenol-yne Pauson-Khand reaction. Thirteen bicyclic compounds were synthesized in acetal and NTs series.

Cette thèse est composée de deux parties distinctes ayant comme thématique commune, la synthèse d’hétérocycles via la catalyse organométallique.Nous nous sommes intéressés, dans un premier temps, à une voie de synthèse permettant un accès rapide au squelette tétrahydrocyclopenta[c]acridine. Ces composés polyfonctionnalisés sont obtenus très efficacement en seulement trois étapes dans des conditions particulièrement douces. L’étape clé de cette synthèse est une réaction de Pauson-Khand intramoléculaire catalysée au cobalt. Certains composés issus de la famille des tétrahydrocyclopenta[c]acridines présentent une activité d’inhibition sélective envers les kinases dépendantes des cyclines (CDKs), et plus particulièrement la CDK2. Un composé chef de file est identifié, puis grâce aux données de co-Cristallisation avec CDK2 et de modélisation moléculaire, suivi de l’étude des relations structure-Activité, la conception rationnelle d’une deuxième génération de molécules est rendue possible. Le composé le plus avancé présente une CI50 de 300 nM envers CDK2/cyclin A et un excellent profil de stabilité métabolique.Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons étudié et développé une réaction tandem d’addition/cyclisation catalysée par l’argent, avec des nucléophiles carbonés sur des substrats ortho-Alcynylbenzaldéhydes. La stratégie de synthèse conduit à des dérivés 1H-Isochromènes par création de deux nouvelles liaisons (C-C et C-O). Une étude approfondie de la réaction tandem nous a permis d’obtenir une large gamme de dérivés d’isochromènes en mettant en évidence l’influence de différents substituants, portés par le groupement alcyne ou le substrat, ainsi que l’utilisation de différents nucléophiles carbonés (alcynes, aromatiques, hétéroaromatiques). Les limitations de la réaction tandem ont également pu être identifiées. / My thesis proJect is organized around two main topics having in common organometallic chemistry and the synthesis of heterocycles.Firstly, we were interested in a methodology for the synthesis of tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]acridines. These compounds are synthesized in three steps from various quinolines. The key step is a cobalt-Catalyzed intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. Some compounds of this family exhibit selective Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) inhibition, particulary against CDK2, in the submicromolar range. A hit compound has been identified, and then using data from co-Crystallization with CDK2 and molecular modeling, followed by the study of structure-Activity relationships, the rational design of a second generation of molecules has been investigated. The most advanced compound has an IC50 of 300 nM against CDK2/cyclin A with an excellent metabolic profile. In the second axis of research, we have studied and developed a new silver-Catalyzed tandem addition/cyclization reaction with carbon nucleophiles. The systems studied are (hetero)aromatics compounds having an aldehyde group and in ortho-Position an alkynyl group. The synthetic strategy leads to 1H-Isochromene derivatives by creating two new bonds. A thorough study of the tandem reaction allowed us to obtain a wide range of isochromene derivatives, highlighting the influence of different substituents carried by the alkyne group or on the (hetero)aromatic substrates; and also to investigate the use of different carbon nucleophiles (alkynes, aromatics and heteroaromatics). The limitations of the tandem reaction have also been identified.
