Le noyau pipéridine est un des motifs les plus courant dans les produits naturels et pharmaceutiques ce qui explique que la synthèse énantiosélective de piperidines polyfonctionnalisées soit un domaine particulièrement dynamique. De par sa capacité à associer une fonction amine à un groupement carbonylé, la réaction de Mannich est un outil efficace pour former une liaison C-C de manière énantiosélective tandis que la réaction d’hydroamination intramoléculaire d’alcynes est pratique pour construire des hétérocycles azotés par formation de liaisons C-N. Dans cette thèse, nous avons combiné ces deux stratégies pour former de manière concise et énantiosélective des pipéridines polysusbstituées. Un couplage énantiosélectif de Mannich anti-sélectif fut employé pour préparer des amines chirales contenant une fonction alcyne connectée à un noyau aromatique riche en électrons. En présence d’acide de Brønsted, une réaction d’hydroamination cyclisante eut lieu démontrant une réactivité arylogue d’ynolethers et d’ynamines, la régiosélectivité de la cyclisation dépendant fortement de la densité électronique de l’alcyne. Ainsi lorsque la densité électronique est insuffisante, des pyrrolidines à cinq chainons furent obtenus tandis que lorsque la densité électronique est élevée des piperidines furent isolées, illustrant la passage d’une activation de triple liaison par liaison hydrogène à sa protonation. A partir des tetrahydropyridines et piperidines, une étude fut lancée dans le but d’achever la première synthèse totale énantiosélective du produit naturel koumine, un alcaloïde de type Gelsemium. / Piperidine ring is one of the most common heterocycles in natural products and the motif is especially well represented in pharmaceuticals. Consequently, enantioselective synthesis of multi-substituted piperidines is an important topic of investigation. For the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds, asymmetric Mannich coupling is a useful strategy while intramolecular hydroamination of alkynes is a practical route to construct N-heterocyclic products. In this thesis, the two strategies were combined. anti-Selective enantioselective Mannich reactions were thus employed to prepare chiral arylalkynyl amines. Connected to various aromatics, the reactivity of the triple bond was then studied in the framework of the intramolecular hydroamination reaction promoted with Brønsted acid. It was shown that depending on the electronic density of the alkyne, these adducts were converted into 5- or 6-membered rings, highlighting the balance between H-bonding and protonation. Tetrahydropyridines and piperidines were thus obtained with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity and further functionalizations were also investigated in view of the first enantioselective total synthesis of Gelsemium alkaloid koumine.

Os sais derivados de alcalóides da Cinchona têm sido muito utilizados como catalisadores de transferência de fase, em reações assimétricas. No entanto, sua performance como agentes de discriminação quiral tem sido pouco explorada. Com o objetivo de melhor compreender as bases moleculares que comandam o reconhecimento quiral dos isômeros ópticos de compostos carbonílicos e carboxílicos, quando em mistura com a quinina ou com sais de alcalóides da Cinchona, foi realizada uma série de experimentos, utilizando a técnica da RMN de 1H. A atribuição dos deslocamentos químicos aos solvatos de cada enantiômero foi feita pelo registro do espectro de RMN de 1H de misturas dos agentes de discriminação quiral com amostras enantiopuras ou enantiomericamente enriquecidas dos substratos. A estabilidade relativa dos solvatos foi estimada utilizando-se modelos moleculares, nos quais foi possível identificar a existência de interações do tipo π-π e de ligações de hidrogênio. As conclusões baseadas nos experimentos de RMN de 1H foram concordantes com as resultantes da análise dos modelos moleculares, construídos para cada par substrato/agente de discriminação quiral / Salts of Cinchone alcaloids are common chiral catalysts for asymmetric phase-transfer reactions. However, studies on their performance as chiral discriminating are still scarce. In order to investigate the molecular basis of chiral recognition for such compounds, the 1H NMR spectra of admixtures of quinine or Cinchone alkaloids salts with carbonyl and carboxyl derivatives were recorded and analyzed. The relative stabilities of the solvated complexes were estimated on the basis of preferential π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions between substrates and the chiral discriminating agent. Conclusions based on results of the 1H NMR experiments were in line with those arising from the analysis of molecular models for the substrate/chiral discriminating agent pairs
