A presente tese relata, em sua primeira parte, o estudo de reatividade das reações competitivas de Michaelis-Arbuzov e Perkow de algumas &#945-haloacetofenonas-orto e meta-substituídas [o- e m-Y-&#934-C(O)CH2-Hal] (Hal = CI, Br e I; Y = OMe, Me, H, F, CI, Br e NO2) com o trietilfosfito. Estas reações foram acompanhadas por cromatografia a gás e observou-se que no caso das reações das &#945-bromoacetofenonas-meta-substituídas as proporções dos produtos de Michaelis-Arbuzov e Perkow, cetofosfonato e enolfosfato respectivamente, estão diretamente relacionadas à constante &#963m, enquanto que nas &#945-cloro e &#945-iodoacetofenonas-orto-substituídas não foram observados os efeitos dos substituintes. Entretanto, nas &#945-bromoacetofenonas- orto-substituídas, verificou-se uma forte dependência da constante &#963I dos substituintes com as proporções relativas dos produtos formados. Na segunda parte desta tese, foi realizado um estudo conformacional de 7 séries de &#945-heteroacetofenonas-orto e meta-substituídas [o- e m-Y-&#934-C(O)CH[X]-P(O)(OEt)2] (X = H, SMe, S(O)Me e SO2Me; Y = OMe, Me, H, F, CI, Br e NO2), através da espectroscopia no infravermelho apoiada por cálculos ab initio HF/6-31 G**. Foi observada, para a maioria dos casos, a presença de um ou dois confôrmeros em solução, onde na maioria dos casos a conformação mais estável é a gauche (sin-clinal) e a segunda mais estável é ou cis (sin-periplanar) ou gauche (anti-clinal). Na série das &#945-metiltio-&#945-dietoxifosforilacetofenonas-orto-substituídas não foi possível efetuar o estudo conformacional devido a enolização presente nestes compostos. Nas &#945-metilsulfinil-&#945-dietoxifosforilacetofenonas-meta-substituídas verificou-se através das espectroscopias no infravermelho e ressonância magnética nuclear, a presença de um equilíbrio diastereomérico. / This thesis reports the study of the reactivity of the competitive Michaelis- Arbuzov and Perkow reactions of some orto- and meta- substituted &#945-haloacetophenones (I) [o- and m-Y-&#934-C(O)CH2-Hal] (Hal = CI, Br e I; Y = OMe, Me, H, F, CI, Br and NO2) with triethyl phosphite, by gas chromatography, and the conformational analysis of some orto- and meta-substituted &#945-heteroacetophenones (II) [o- and m-Y-&#934-C(O)CH[X]-P(O)(OEt)2] (X = H, SMe, S(O)Me and SO2Me; Y = OMe, Me, H, F, Cl, Br and NO2), by means of infrared spectroscopy and ab initio HF/6-31 G** computations. For reactions involving meta-substituted &#945-bromoacetophenones and triethylphosphite it was found a good correlation between the ketophosphonate / enolphosphate ratio (K/E) and the &#963m constant. The (K/E) ratios obtained from the reaction of the orto- substituted &#945-chloro- and &#945-iodo-acetophenones and triethylphosphite did not show a clear trend with any substituent constant. However, a good correlation between the (K/E) ratio and the &#963I constant was obtained in the case of the reaction involving the orto-substituted &#945-bromoacetophenones and triethylphosphite. The vco infrared analysis in general compares well with the ab initio calculations which showed the occurrence of one or two stable conformations for compounds of series (II), being the gauche (syn-clinal) the most stable and the cis (syn-periplanar) or the gauche (anti-clinal) the second one. The vco IR analysis of the orto-substituted &#945-methylthio-&#945-diethoxyphosphorylacetophenone series was precluded due to its strong enolization. As for the meta-substituted &#945-methylsulfinyl-&#945-diethoxyphosphoryl-acetophenones the IR and NMR spectroscopies along with the ab initio computations showed the ocurrence of a diastereomeric equilibrium both in gas and in solution.

Neste contexto, pode-se destacar os processos oxidativos como procedimentos para purificação (remoção de carbono amorfo e partículas de catalisador) e ativação das superfícies. A interação de agentes oxidantes com NCs, assim como em alcenos pode levar à formação dos grupos funcionais C-OH, C=O, C-O-C e O=COH. Dentre os diversos reagentes oxidantes disponíveis, alguns dos mais importantes em fase líquida são o HNO3 e diferentes misturas H2SO4/HNO3. Para ambos reagentes, a espécie NO2+ (íon nitrônio) atua como o agente da oxidação, porém as etapas elementares e a topologia das posições modificadas quimicamente ainda não são completamente conhecidas a nível molecular. Dada a importância dos processos de oxidação de NCs, na presente tese, dois caminhos foram utilizados para o estudo deste processo. No primeiro modelo, foram propostas diferentes estruturas como resultado da formação do aduto iônico NC-NO2+, com o NC representado por um tubo armchair (5,5) com e sem um defeito Stone-Wales. Entre as várias reações analisadas, uma levou à transferência de um átomo de oxigênio para a superfície do tubo, originando um grupo funcional do tipo éter. Este processo específico mostrou-se notadamente favorável e, portanto, pode ser tomado como uma das etapas iniciais na oxidação de NCs no meio ácido considerado. No segundo modelo, o sistema escolhido foi um NC armchair (6,6) com uma monovacância como defeito. O agente oxidante novamente utilizado foi o íon NO2+ resultante da dissociação acido-base do HNO3, considerando um sistema neutro devido à presença do contra-íon NO3-. Um caminho de reação termodinamicamente favorável foi proposto e inclui um ataque eletrofílico exotérmico inicial do cátion NO2+, seguido por uma formação endotérmica de um anel de oxaziridina e à geração de um grupo carbonílico. Para ambos os modelos químicos, a metodologia computacional empregada foi a teoria do funcional de densidade, utilizando condições periódicas de contorno. Propriedades estruturais, eletrônicas, vibracionais e termodinâmicas foram calculadas e discutidas. / Due to the chemical inertia of pristine (as-synthesised) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), activation steps are necessary prior to chemical modification. In this sense, oxidative processes should be highlighted as a procedure for purification (removing amorphous carbon and catalyst particles) and surface activation. The interaction of oxidizing reagents with CNTs, similar to the alkenes, may result in the formation of C-OH, C=O, C-O-C, and O=C-OH functional groups. Among the main oxidizing species, the most important for liquid phase processes are HNO3 and H2SO4/HNO3 mixtures. For both reagents, the NO2+ (nitronium ion) species acts as the oxidizing agent, but the elementary steps and the topology of the chemically modified positions are not completely understood at the molecular level. Given the importance of the oxidation processes of CNTs, in the present thesis, two chemical ways were used to study the process. At the first model, distinct structures were proposed for an ionic CNT-NO2+ adduct, with the CNT represented by an armchair (5,5) tube with and without a Stone-Wales defect. Among several reactions analyzed one lead to an oxygen transfer to the tube surface, yielding ether like group. This specific process was notably favorable and, therefore, can be taken as the beginning for the oxidation of CNT in that acid medium. At the second model, the system chosen was a single-walled armchair (6,6) with a monovacancy defect. The oxidizing agent used again was the NO2+ ion resulting from an acid-base HNO3 dissociation, considering a neutral system due to its NO3- counter ion. An overall favorable oxidation pathway was proposed and includes an initial NO2+ exothermic electrophilic attack followed by an endothermic oxaziridine formation and a carbonyl group generation. For both chemical models, the computational methodology employed was the density functional theory using periodic boundary conditions. Structural, electronic, vibrational, and thermodynamic properties were calculated and discussed.

Le travail effectué durant cette thèse est basé sur l’étude de la photoréactivité de l’acrylonitrile et du propionitrile (composés présents dans l’atmosphère de Titan) lorsque nous simulons en laboratoire les conditions spécifiques de ce satellite.Leur photochimie à haute énergie (λ>120 nm) a été étudiée en matrices cryogéniques afin de simuler la phase gazeuse présente à haute altitude dans l’atmosphère de Titan. Nous avons pu identifier des photoproduits qui sont connus pour être présents dans cette même atmosphère comme le cyanoacétylène, l’acétylène, l’éthylène et l’acide cyanhydrique. La formation d’isonitriles a également été caractérisée permettant ainsi d’envisager leur présence dans cette atmosphère.Les processus photochimiques en phase solide ont également été étudiés à différentes températures afin de simuler les aérosols présents à différentes altitudes de l’atmosphère de Titan. Les mêmes photoproduits qu’en matrices cryogéniques ont été identifiés et des rapports de branchement ont été mesurés pour les différentes températures. L’irradiation VUV de la phase solide (acrylonitrile ou propionitrile) conduit à la formation de résidus non volatils qui seront comparés avec les données de la littérature.Enfin, nous avons étudié l’impact que peut avoir une incorporation de ces molécules dans un mélange gazeux N2/CH4 (les deux composants les plus abondants de l’atmosphère de Titan) lors de la formation de résidus par application d’un plasma simulant le bombardement de la haute atmosphère par des particules lourdes. / This work focused on studying the photoreactivity of acrylonitrile and propionitrile (molecules present in Titan) when the specific conditions of its atmosphere are simulated in laboratory.High energetic photochemistry (λ>120 nm) has been investigated in cryogenic matrices in order to reproduce the gazeous phase present in high altitude. We identified the photoproducts which are known to be detected in Titan such as cyanoacetylene, acetylene, ethylene and cyanhydric acid. We also noticed the formation of isonitriles for which their future detection became predictable.Solid phase photochemical processes have also been studied at different temperatures in order to reproduce the aerosols present at different altitudes. The same photoproducts than in matrices were obtained and branching ratios were determined for the different temperatures. Solid phase (acrylonitrile or propionitrile) VUV radiation leads to the formation of non volatile residues that will be compared to literature data.Finally, we studied the effect of the inclusion of these molecules in an initial gaseous mixture composed of nitrogen and methane (the two most abundant species in the atmosphere of Titan) during the formation of residues by application of plasma simulating the heavy particles shelling in high altitude.

5 Abstract The formerly reported hydroxyamide Ph2PfcC(O)NHCH2CH2OH 1 and its respective novel congeneric analogues Ph2PfcC(O)NHCH3−n(CH2OH)n (3: n = 2; 4: n = 3) were used to prepare a series of arene-ruthenium(II) complexes [(η6 -arene)RuCl2(L-κP)] 6-8 (arene = C6H6, p-cymene, C6Me6; L = 1, 3 or 4). These complexes were studied as pre-catalysts in redox isomerization of allylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds. Among the compounds prepared, complex 6b [(η6 -p-cymene)RuCl2(1-κP)] showed best results. The solid state structure of the product of photolytic decomposition of complex [(η6 - C6Me6)RuCl2(2-κP)] (2 = Ph2PfcC(O)N(CH2CH2OH)2), viz, [(µ-Cl)3{Ru(η6 -C6Me6)}2] [FeCl4] 9, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-phosphane complexes [MII Cl2(1-κP)2] (M = trans-Pd (10), cis-Pt (11) and trans- Pt (12)) together with chalcogenide derivatives Ph2P(O)fcC(O)NH(CH2)2OH (13) and Ph2P(S)fcC(O)NH(CH2)2OH (14) derived from hydroxyamide 1 were tested in vitro for their cytotoxicity against human ovarian A2780 cancer cell line. Complexes tested showed moderate cytotoxicity. Triol-amide FcC(O)NHC(CH2OH)3 15 (Fc = ferrocenyl) reacted with decavanadate (Bu4N)2[H3V10O28] at elevated temperature and prolonged reaction time yielding the hybrid hexavanadate (Bu4N)2[{FcC(O)NHC(CH2O)3}2V6O13] 16...

A larga banda espectral, característica de pulsos ultracurtos de luz laser, tem possibilitado o controle coerente da interação da luz com a matéria através da manipulação das componentes espectrais da fase do pulso. Esta nova área de pesquisa tem sido responsável por avanços no entendimento e controle de fenômenos foto-induzidos, especialmente no que diz respeito a processos ópticos não lineares. Nesta tese de doutorado, estudamos o controle coerente da absorção de dois fótons (A2F) em compostos orgânicos usando pulsos de femtossegundos. O processo de A2F em derivados de perilenos foi investigado utilizando pulsos com chirp linear (máscara de fase quadrática), a partir do monitoramento da fluorescência excitada por dois fótons. A otimização da A2F desses compostos, através da formatação da fase do pulso via algorítmo genético, revelou que pulsos limitados por transformada de Fourier induzem maior A2F. Cálculos de Química Quântica, empregando o formalismo da teoria do funcional densidade, foram utilizados para caracterizar a estrutura eletrônica e determinar as transições permitidas por dois fótons nos derivados de perilenos, fundamentando nossos resultados experimentais. Além disso, estudamos também o controle coerente da A2F de compostos orgânicos aplicando uma máscara de fase senoidal ao pulso. Neste caso, demonstramos que a eficiência do controle depende da posição relativa entre o comprimento de onda central do pulso e da banda de A2F do material. Finalmente, o controle coerente da A2F foi investigado com o uso de uma máscara de fase do tipo degrau. Nossos resultados evidenciam a importância da relação entre a banda espectral do pulso e a largura de linha da A2F do material para atingir o controle da A2F. Em conclusão, os resultados obtidos neste trabalho ajudam a esclarecer aspectos do controle coerente, obtido com pulsos ultracurtos formatados, em sistemas moleculares. / The broad spectral band of ultrashort laser pulses has been used to coherently control the lightmatter interaction, by acting on the spectral phase of pulses using the so called pulse shaping methods. This new research area has been held responsible for advances in the understanding and controlling of photo-induced phenomena, especially in nonlinear optics. In this work, we studied the coherent control of two-photon absorption (2PA) processes in organic compounds, employing femtosecond pulses. We investigated the 2PA of perylene derivatives using chirped pulses (quadratic phase mask), by monitoring the two-photon excited fluorescence. Optimization of 2PA in perylene derivatives was achieved by shaping the pulse using a genetic algorithm, which revealed that Fourier transform limited pulses lead to higher 2PA. Quantum chemical calculations, using Density Functional Theory, were carried out to characterize the electronic structure and determine the allowed two-photon transitions of perylene derivatives, backing up our experimental results. Furthermore, we also studied the coherent control of 2PA in organic molecules applying a cosine-like phase mask. In such case, we demonstrated that the control efficiency depends on the detuning between the pulse central wavelength and materials 2PA band. Finally, coherent control of 2PA was explored using a step-like phase mask. Our results indicate that, in this situation, control of 2PA is only attained if a specific ratio between the pulse bandwidth and the 2PA transition bandwidth is used. In conclusion, the results obtained in this work help the understanding of coherent control in molecular systems.

For this, were analyzed data obtained by ab initio theoretical calculations, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (coupling constants 3JHH) and infrared (carbonyl stretch). Were performed calculations for the isolated molecule and calculations with solvation routines to assess the conformational preference in different ways. With the aid of maps of electrostatic potential, was possible to observe the main negative centers where are located the reactive sites involved in organic synthesis. According to the calculations of NBO was analyzed how interactions affect the stability of each conformation. The compounds cis/trans ethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate presented each, two preferred conformers, which were observed by both theoretical calculations and IR. The NMR spectroscopy was very useful because with the use of the same was possible to characterize the majority conformer of each equilibrium. / Neste trabalho é apresentado o estudo conformacional do cis/trans-2-hidroxicicloexanocarboxilato de etila. Para tanto, foram realizadas análises a partir de dados obtidos pelos cálculos teóricos ab initio e pelas espectroscopias de ressonância magnética nuclear (constantes de acoplamento 3JHH) e na região do infravermelho (estiramento da carbonila). Foram realizados cálculos para a molécula isolada bem como cálculos com rotinas de solvatação, para avaliar a preferência conformacional em diferentes meios. Com o auxílio de mapas de potencial eletrostático, foi possível observar os principais centros negativos onde estão localizados os sítios reativos envolvidos em sínteses orgânicas. Pelos cálculos de NBO, foi analisado como as interações afetam a estabilidade de cada conformação. Os compostos cis/trans-2-hidroxicicloexanocarboxilato de etila apresentaram cada um, dois confôrmeros preferenciais, os quais foram observados tanto pelos cálculos teóricos como por IV. A espectroscopia de RMN foi muito útil, pois com o emprego da mesma foi possível caracterizar o confôrmero majoritário de cada equilíbrio.

A presente tese trata da síntese, análise conformacional e estudo das interações eletrônicas dos 2-etilsulfinil-tioacetatos de fenila 4\'-substituídos (I) e dos tioacetatos de fenila 4\'-substituídos (II) (compostos de referência). O estudo conformacional foi realizado por intermédio da espectroscopia infravermelho (IV) apoiada por cálculos teóricos HF, DFT e NBO (Natural Bond Orbital). A análise no IV de vco da série (I) se correlaciona relativamente bem com os cálculos HF e B3LYP. Estes cálculos indicaram a existência de quatro conformações estáveis [q-c2-sin (q-g-sin), g3-sin, g1-anti e q-g2-sin], sendo somente as três primeiras conformações, de população significativa, presentes em solução. Conforme esperado nos α-sulfinil-tioésteres, no cálculo DFT, obtém-se a conformação q-g-sin que corresponde à conformação q-c2-sin, obtida no HF. Tanto no HF como no B3LYP as conformações q-c2-sin (q-g-sin) e g3-sin apresentam freqüências de vCO degeneradas e correspondem ao componente de maior freqüência e de maior intensidade do dubleto, e a conformação g1-anti corresponde ao componente de menor freqüência e de menor intensidade do dubleto no IV. Os cálculos HF e B3LYP reproduzem o resultado experimental. A população relativa do componente de maior freqüência de vCO, que corresponde à somatória das populações das conformações [q-c2-sin (HF) ou q-g-sin (DFT) e g3-sin (HF e DFT)], em relação ao componente de menor freqüência, que corresponde à conformação g1-anti (HF e DFT), varia de (100%, CCl4; 100%, CHCl3) no 4\'-nitro derivado (1) a (90%, CCl4; 83%; CHCl3) no 4\'-metóxi derivado(6). Enquanto a conformação q-c2-sin (HF) é estabilizada pelas interações eletrostática Oδ-(CO)...Sδ+(SO) e de transferência de carga nO(CO)/σ*S-O, as conformações q-g-sin, g3-sin e g1-anti (HF e DFT) são estabilizadas pelas interações σC4-S5/π*C1-O2 (forte), πC1-O2/σ*C4-S5, nS/π*C1-O2, nO(SO)/π*C1-O2, nO(CO)/σ*C6-H6 (fracas) e π*Cl 02/σ*C4-S5. Todas as conformações são fortemente estabilizadas pelas interações: n(S3)/π*C1-O2 (conjugativa), nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3 e nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 (através das ligações), sendo mais fortes para as conformações q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin, g3-sin (HF e DFT) em relação à conformação g1-anti (HF e DFT). Adicionalmente, as conformações sin [q-c2 (HF), q-g (DFT) e g3 (HF e DFT)] são também estabilizadas pela interação nO(CO)/π*Ph e a conformação g1-anti é estabilizada, no HF e DFT, pelas interações: n2(SO)/σ*C11-H11 e πC9-C10/σ*C4-H4. Nos tioacetatos de fenila de referência (II) as interações orbitalares n(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 (fortes) e nO(CO)/π*Ph (fraca) são responsáveis pela maior estabilização da conformação sin (de maior freqüência calculada de vCO) em relação à conformação anti (de menor freqüência calculada de vCO), que é estabilizada pelas interações n(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3, n02(CO)/σ*C1-C2 (fortes) e πC9-C1O/σ*C4-H4 (fraca). Os valores negativos dos deslocamentos da freqüência teóricos da carbonila das conformações [q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT)], g1-anti (HF e DFT) e g3-sin (HF e DFT) dos compostos da série (I) em relação às freqüências de vCO (HF e DFT) dos confôrmeros sin e anti da série (II) estão de acordo com a somatória das interações eletrônicas acima mencionadas. A análise de difração de raio-X do 4\'-bromo derivado (I) indica que este composto é estabilizado no estado sólido numa conformação cuja geometria é semelhante à conformação q-g-sin de maior energia (na fase gasosa) / This thesis reports the synthesis, conformational analysis and electronic interaction study of 4\'-substituted 2-ethylsulfinyl-phenylthioacetates (I) and 4\'-substituted phenylthioacetates (II) (reference compounds). The conformational analysis was performed through IR spectroscopy supported by theoretical calculations HF, B3LYP and NBO (Natural Bond Orbital). The vCO analysis for series (I) in general matches welI with the HF and B3LYP computations. These data indicate the existence of four stable conformations q-c2-sin (q-g-sin), g3-sin, g1-anti and q-g2-sin, being the first three conformations the only ones of reasonable populations and present in solution. As expected for the sulfinyl thioesters, in the DFT method the q-g-sin conformation is obtained instead of the q-c2-sin conformation of the HF method. Both in the HF and B3LYP the (q-c2-sin, q-g-sin) and g3-sin conformations show degenerated vCO frequencies and they correspond in the IR spectrum (solution) to the doublet higher frequency component of larger intensity. The g1-anti conformation corresponds to the doublet lower frequency component of smalIer intensity. In general, HF and DFT calculations reproduce well the experimental results. The relative population of the higher vCO doublet frequency component, which corresponds to the summing up of [(q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT) and g3-sin (HF and DFT)] conformation populations, with respect to the lower frequency component, which corresponds to g1-anti conformation population (HF and DFT), varies from (100%, CCl4; 100%, CHCl3) in the 4\'-nitro derivative (1) to (90%, CCl4; 83%; CHCl3) in the 4\'-metoxi derivative (6). While the q-c2-sin (HF) conformation is stabilized by the Oδ-(CO)....Sδ+(SO) electrostatic and nO(CO)/σ*S-O, nO(CO)/σ*C6-H6 orbital interactions, the q-g-sin, g3-sin e g1-anti (HF and DFT) conformations are stabilized by the σC4-S5/π*C1-O2 (strong), πC1-O2/σ*C4-S5, nS/π*C1-O2, nO(SO)/&#960*C1-02, nO(CO)/σ*C6-H6 (weak) and π*C1-O2/σ*C4-S5 interactions. All the conformations are strongly stabilized by: the n(S3)/π*C1-O2 and nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3 e n02(CO)/σ*C1-C2 interactions, being stronger for the q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin, g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformations and weaker for the g1-anti conformation (HF and DFT). Furthermore, the sin [q-c2 (HF), q-g (DFT) and g3 (HF and DFT)] conformations are also stabilized through nO(CO)/&#960*Ph interaction and the g1-anti conformation is stabilized in the HF e DFT by the n2(SO)/σ*C11-H11 and πC9-C10/σ*C4-H4 interactions. This trend is in line with the higher the vCO frequency of [q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT)] and g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformations relative to the frequency of g1-anti (HF e DFT) conformation. As for the reference 4\'-substituted phenylthioacetates (II) the NBO method (HF and DFT) revealed that the n(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/&#963*C1-S3, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 and nO(CO)/π*Ph (weak) interactions are responsible for the larger stabilization of the sin conformation (the higher computed vCO frequency) with respect to the anti conformation (the lower computed vCO frequency) which is stabilized by the N(S3)/π*C1-O2, nO2(CO)/σ*C1-S3 and nO2(CO)/σ*C1-C2 along with the weak πC9-C1O/σ*C4-H4 interactions. The negative carbonyl frequency shiftS (Δv) for the [q-c2-sin (HF), q-g-sin (DFT)], g1-anti (HF e DFT) e g3-sin (HF e DFT) conformers of compounds of series (I) relative to the vCO frequencies (HF e DFT) of sin e anti conformers of series (II) are in good agreement with the summing up of the above mentioned electronic interactions. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the 4\'-bromo derivative (I) shows that this compound assumes in the solid state a geometry similar to that of the less stable q-g2-sin conformation

The synthesis of cyclic allenes with eight or less skeletal C-atoms, known as highly strained organic compounds, has for the past decades attracted increasing interest. The first part of study describes an investigation aimed at the incorporation of an allene unit into a natural compound, being &amp / #945 / -pinene, by using &amp / #946 / -elimination method. The two double-bond isomers 310 and 299b were synthesized as key compounds. Treatment of 310 with t-BuOK resulted in the formation of ketone 308 and diene 313. For the formation of 308, the cyclic allene 300 was proposed as an intermediate. Treatment of 299b, with t-BuOK gave arise to the diene 313 and the dimerization product 322. On the basis of density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations on the allene 300 and the alkyne 320, the formation of the latter as the intermediate was excluded. In the second part of study, the stability of endo-carbene 304 was investigated. Previous studies indicated, during the formation of intermediate 264, no exo-carbene 330 structure could be optimized in its free carbene form. At this point, we were curious about the stability of endo-cyclopropylidene 304 not discussed before in literature. First, addition of bromofluorocarbene to anti-7-ethylbenzonorbornadiene (352) was aimed to isolate the endo-adduct 302b. However, no carbene addition reaction was observed caused by pyramidalization on double bond respect to the methoxy derivative, 363b. Therefore, the bromine was introduced to C-7 carbon atom. Treatment of 302a with MeLi in the presence of furan, gave furan adduct 306a confirmed the formation of allene 305a as a reactive intermediate. Theoretical calculations showed endo-carbene 304a was optimized in the free carbene form . However, it readily isomerizes to allene 305a afforded furan adduct 306a.

The first part of study describes an investigation aimed at the incorporation of an allene unit into a natural compound, being alpha-pinene, by using Doering-Moore-Skatteboel method. DFT computations show that both allene product and insertion product can be isolated if the reaction of methyllithium with 3,3-dibromo-2,7,7-trimethyl-tricyclo[4.1.1.02,4]octane is carried out at either low or high temperatures. One insertion product resulting from the intramolecular C-H insertion at the bridge and three allene dimers were isolated when this reaction was carried out at room temperature. In the second part of study, exo- and endo-cyclopropylidene incorporated into benzonorbornadiene were investigated by using theoretical and experimental methods. Theoretical calculations show that the endo-carbene would be stable and undergo some kind of insertion and addition reactions. On the contrary, the exo-carbene is not stable and isomerizes to the corresponding allene structure during the optimization process. For this purpose, the reaction of dibromocarbene and dichlorocarbene with 7-methoxybenzonorbornadiene was achieved to afford gem-dibromocyclopropane and gem-dichlorocyclopropane adducts, respectively. However, they suffer stereoelectronically-controlled ring opening under the reaction conditions to give the ring-expanded allylic dihalides, respectively. On the other hand, gem-bromofluorocyclopropane, obtained by the treatment of 7-methoxybenzonorbornadiene with bromofluorocarbene, provided one of the four possible [2+4] allene adducts upon treatment with MeLi in furan. The exact structure of the adduct has been elucidated on the basis of NMR spectral data. This result confirms the formation of the bicyclic allene as an reactive intermediate. No products were isolated derived from the endo-carbene.

As conformações de menor energia dos S-nitrosotióis e tióis em estudo são estabilizadas por ligações de hidrogênio intramoleculares que promovem uma maior estabilidade dos confôrmeros. A análise geométrica do grupo R-SNO mostra que esses compostos preferem a conformação trans. O cálculo das interações orbitalares pelo método NBO (Natural Bond Orbital) para as 2–acetamido-3-mercapto-3-metil-N-arilbutanamidas mostrou que as mesmas são estabilizadas pelas seguintes interações: no (N2) →  (C3-O4) e no(N10) → (C11-O12). Os resultados de NBO para os S-nitrosotíois mostraram que a interação hiperconjugativa é bastante efetiva nas conformações estáveis desses compostos, enfraquecendo a ligação que resulta no aumento do comprimento da ligação S-N em S-Nitrosotióis. A forte delocalização , induz caráter parcial a ligação S-N. A fraca ligação S-N indica uma forte delocalização do par de elétrons do O(NO) devido a interação, que é responsável pelo alongamento da ligação S-N, aumentando e a potencial capacidade do óxido nítrico ser liberado. / We carried out a conformational study on the S-nitrosothiols (R-SNO), 2-acetamido-3-methyl-3-(nitrososulfanyl)-N-arylbutanamides and their thiol precursors 2-acetamido-3-mercapto-3-methyl-N-arylbutanamides. The lowest energy conformation for both compounds is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Trans conformation was determined as the predominant conformation after geometrical analysis of R-SNO. Orbital interactions for 2-acetamido-3-mercapto-3-methyl-N-arylbutanamides were calculated using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) methodology. Calculations indicated that orbital interactions for these compounds are stabilized by the following interactions: no (N2) →  (C3-O4) and no(N10) → (C11-O12). NBO results showed that the hyperconjugative interaction is very effective, weakening the σ bond and resulting in increasing length of the S-N bond in R-SNO. The strong delocalization induces partial character to the S-N bond. The bond S-N indicates a strong delocalization of the electron pair of O(NO) due to interaction. This interaction is responsible for the elongation of the S-N bond which increases the ability of the compound to release nitric oxide (NO). Based on the enhanced capacity to release NO by these compounds, our findings suggest that both compounds may display biological activity. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
