Les fluoroalcènes sont employés pour préparer des mimes de peptides. Malgré de nombreuses études réalisées dans ce domaine, la préparation d'analogues de peptides comportant une proline modifiée en position C-terminale a été très peu explorée. Ce travail de thèse est consacré à la synthèse de pyrrolidine comportant un motif fluorovinylique. La préparation de sulfones fluorées comportant un cycle pyrrolidine a été réalisée, par réaction d'aza-Michael intramoléculaire. Ce réactif permet la formation de pyrrolines par réaction de Julia modifiée, là où la réaction de Horner-Wadworth-Emmons échoue. Cette étude a été étendue à la préparation de pipéridines fluorées. Cette méthode a été appliquée avec succès à la préparation de précurseurs de peptides Pro-Ψ[CF=CH]-Xaa, peu étudiés dans la littérature. / Fluoroalkenes are used to prepare peptide mimics. In spite of numerous studies carried out in this field, the preparation of peptide analogs comprising a modified proline in the C-terminal position has been very little explored. This thesis is devoted to the synthesis of pyrrolidine with a fluorovinyl unit. The preparation of fluorinated sulfones containing a pyrrolidine ring was carried out by reaction of intramolecular aza-Michael. This reagent allows the formation of pyrrolines by modified Julia reaction, where the Horner-Wadworth-Emmons reaction fails. This study was extended to the preparation of fluorinated piperidines. This method has been successfully applied to the preparation of pro-Ψ peptide precursors [CF = CH] -Xaa, which are poorly studied in the literature.

Au cours de ces trente dernières années, les allylboranes, une classe particulière de composés organoborés, ont pris une place particulièrement importante en synthèse organique, principalement dans la synthèse stéréocontrôlée d'alcools homoallyliques par addition sur un aldéhyde. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit mon travail de thèse qui a pour objectif la mise au point de voies d'accès originales à deux familles d'allylboronates alpha-hétérosubstitués et à l'étude de leur réactivité. Pour cela, nous nous sommes intéressés dans un premier temps au comportement de gamma-borylallylsilanes vis à vis de diverses espèces électrophiles, ce qui a permis d'accéder notamment à des alpha-fluoroallylboronates, précurseurs de (Z)-1-fluoro-1-alcènes et à des fluorures allyliques. D'autres électrophiles, hétéroatomiques ou carbonés, peuvent être utilisés pour conduire après refonctionnalisation par addition sur des aldéhydes à des alcools insaturés de structures variées. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons synthétisé des alpha-isocyanatoallylboronates par réarrangement sigmatropique [3,3] d'allylcyanates borylés. Ces intermédiaires réactionnels, particulièrement intéressants pour accéder en série optiquement active à des ènecarbamates cycliques à sept chaînons, sont également précurseurs de pyrrolidines tétrasubstituées selon un réarrangement jusqu'alors non décrit dans la littérature. / Over the last thirty years, allylboranes, a particular class of organoboron compounds, have found many valuable applications in organic synthesis, mainly in the stereoselective synthesis of homoallylic alcohols via addition to aldehydes. In this context, we have developed two novel families of alpha-heterosubstituted allylboronates. We first studied the behavior of gamma-borylallylsilanes towards various electrophilic species in order to access to alpha-fluoroallylboronates which are versatile precursors of various fluorinated molecules. Other heteroatom or carbon electrophiles could also be used to afford after refunctionalization with aldehydes structurally diverse unsaturated alcohols. In the second part of this thesis, we studied the reactivity of alpha-isocyanatoallylboronates prepared by [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of borylated allylcyanates. These intermediates have proven to be particularly useful to synthesize optically active cyclic seven membered enecarbamates and tetrasubstituted pyrrolidines.

The task of medicinal chemists in a drug discoveryproject is to synthesize/design analogues to the screening hits, simultaneouslyincreasing target potency and optimizing the pharmacological properties.  This requires a wide selection of moleculesto be synthesized, where both synthetic feasibility and price of startingmaterials are of great importance. In this work, a synthetic pathway from cheapand readily available starting materials to highly modifiable 2,4-disubstitutedpyrrolidines is demonstrated. Previously reported procedures to similarpyrrolidines use expensive catalysts, requires harsh conditions and requiresnon-commercially available starting materials. The suggested pathway herein has demonstrated great possibility forvariation in the 4-position, including fluoro, difluoro, nitrile and alcoholfunctional groups. There are several areas in which the synthesis can beimproved and expanded upon. Improvements can be made by optimizing thedescribed reaction conditions and further expansion of possible modificationsin both 2- and 4-position could be explored.

Nosso grupo de pesquisa vem se dedicado, há vários anos, ao estudo das reações de ciclização eletrofílica de substratos insaturados que contêm um nucleófilo interno (oxigênio ou nitrogênio). Este trabalho teve como objetivo obter derivados de éteres cíclicos de cinco e seis membros diferentemente funcionalizados. Compostos 1,3-dicarbonílicos e ß-hidróxi carbonílicos, contendo dupla ligação em posição apropriada, foram submetidos à reação de ciclização mediada tanto por iodo quanto por dimetildioxirana. De maneira semelhante, ß-enamino ésteres alquenilados foram submetidos à reação de iodociclização visando à síntese de diidropirróis, pirrolidínas e tetraidroindóis. Os heterociclos funcionalizados com iodo foram submetidos à reação de desidroiodação, promovida por base, fornecendo os correspondentes produtos de eliminação. / Our research group has been studying, for several years, eletrophilic cyclization reactions of unsaturated substrates bearing internal nucleophiles such as oxygen or nitrogen. This work aimed to obtain five and six membered cyclic ether derivatives differently functionalized. 1,3-Dicarbonyl and ß-hydroxy carbonyl compounds bearing double bonds suitably positioned were submitted to cyclization reaction mediated by either iodine or dimethyldioxirane. Similarly, alkenyl substituted ß-enamino esters were also prepared and submitted to iodo-cyclization reaction leading to dihydropyrrols, to pyrrolidines or to tetrahydroindols. The heterocyclic compounds bearing iodine were submitted to the corresponding dehydroiodination reaction mediated by base, furnishing elimination products

Altered dopamine (DA) neurotransmission is implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of DA release has mainly been restricted to striatal areas, rich in D2/D 3 receptors, owing to the moderate affinity of the radioligands used. To measure extra-striatal DA release, where D2/D3 receptor concentrations are much smaller, an approach using a high affinity radioligand, such as [18F]Fallypride, is required. The aim of the present study was to investigate in healthy volunteers the suitability of [ 18F]Fallypride to measure variations in D2/D3 receptor occupancy, as a function of amphetamine-induced DA release, in extra-striatal regions. Six healthy male volunteers underwent two 18F-Fallypride PET sessions, following the double-blind oral administration of 0.3 mg/kg of d-amphetamine (Dexedrine) or placebo (lactose), counter-balanced for order. Following amphetamine administration, D2/D3 receptor occupancy of 18F-Fallypride was significantly reduced in striatum, but also in extra-striatal regions, including substantia nigra, amygdala, thalamus, hippocampus, and cortical areas.
