The work described in this thesis is focused on the development of new bidentate iridium complexes and their applications in the asymmetric reduction of olefins, ketones and imines. Three new types of iridium complexes were synthesized, which included pyridine derived chiral N,P-iridium complexes, achiral NHC complexes and chiral NHC-phosphine complexes. A study of their catalytic applications demonstrated a high efficiency of the N,P-iridium complexes for asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins, with good enantioselectivity. The carbene complexes were found to be very efficient hydrogen transfer mediators capable of abstracting hydrogen from alcohols and subsequently transfer it to other unsaturated bonds. This hydrogen transferring property of the carbene complexes was used in the development of C–C and C–N bond formation reactions via the hydrogen borrowing process. The complexes displayed high catalytic reactivity using 0.5–1.0 mol% of the catalyst and mild reaction conditions. Finally chiral carbene complexes were found to be activated by hydrogen gas. Their corresponding iridium hydride species were able to reduce ketones and imines with high efficiency and enantioselectivity without any additives, base or acid. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 5: Submitted.

Le motif spiroacétal est une structure présente dans le squelette de nombreuses molécules naturelles possédant des activités biologiques variées et pour laquelle il existe de nombreuses voies de synthèse. En revanche, son analogue azoté, le motif spiroaminal a été beaucoup moins étudié. Le premier de nos objectifs a consisté à développer une voie de synthèse énantiosélective, la plus générale possible, de ce motif. La stratégie retenue repose sur une étape clé de spirocyclisation acido-catalysée d'aminohydroxycétones issues de l'alkylation séquentielle de l'acétone N,N-diméthylhydrazone par divers synthons iodés. Si les spiroaminals attendus n'ont pas pu être obtenus, ces cétones polyfonctionnalisées ont permis d'accéder efficacement à des spiroacétals originaux : les 1,6-dioxaspiro [4.6] undécanes et les 1,7-dioxaspiro [5.6] dodécanes. Dans une deuxième partie de notre travail, nous nous sommes intéressés à la synthèse totale de la broussonétine H, spiroacétal naturel possédant une très forte activité inhibitrice vis-à-vis de β-glycosidases. Son élaboration a été envisagée par couplage entre deux fragments clé : le 2-éthynyl-1,7-dioxaspiro [5.5] undécane et un iminocyclitol porteur d'un époxyde. La synthèse de ces deux composés a été réalisée en peu d'étapes et avec d'excellents rendements. Leur couplage a permis l'obtention d'un précurseur directe de la broussonétine H. L'étape finale de déprotection reste à optimiser afin de permettre l'isolement du produit naturel.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This work describes the reaction parameters influence in the 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole N-alkylation under microwave irradiation. The experiments were performed in different conditions with the purpose of verified the influence of temperature, basic, pressure, solvent effect and ionic liquid effect as passive heating elements (PHEs). The used alkylant agents were 1-butyl bromide, 2-butyl bromide, 1-ethyl iodide, 1-ethyl bromide and 1-butyl chloride. The ionic liquids [BMIM][BF4], [EMIM][BF4], [OMIM][BF4] and [BPy][BF4] were applied as PHEs. Initially, it was possible verified which elevated temperatures (100 - 150°C) allows to perform the reaction in very short reaction times (2,5 - 10 min). In general, it was observed which the base need is related to low reaction temperatures and alkylant agents of low reactivity. In addition, enhanced conversions were obtained with the solvent polarity and/or internal pressure increase. When different ionic liquids were used as PHEs, no relevant conversion difference was observed to the studied reaction. / Este trabalho descreve a influência dos parâmetros reacionais sobre a N-alquilação de 3,5-dimetil-1H-pirazol assistida por irradiação de micro-ondas. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em diferentes condições a fim de verificar a influência da temperatura, base, pressão, efeito do solvente e efeito do líquido iônico como elemento passível de aquecimento (EPA). Como agentes alquilantes, foram utilizados 1-bromobutano, 2-bromobutano, 1-iodoetano, 1-bromoetano e 1-clorobutano. Os líquidos iônicos [BMIM][BF4], [EMIM][BF4], [OMIM][BF4] e [BPy][BF4] foram utilizados como EPAs. Através dos experimentos realizados, foi possível verificar que elevadas temperaturas (100 - 150°C) permitem a utilização de curtos tempos reacionais (2,5 - 10 min). De modo geral, foi observado que a necessidade de base está relacionada a baixas temperaturas reacionais e agentes alquilantes de baixa reatividade. Além disso, melhores conversões foram obtidas com o aumento da polaridade do solvente e/ou da pressão interna do vaso reacional. Quando diferentes líquidos iônicos foram utilizados como EPAs, não foram observadas diferenças significativas de conversão para a reação estudada.

Subsequentemente, reações de acoplamento entre o produto sintetizado N-benzil quitosana e diferentes sais de diazônio foram realizadas para produzir uma nova classe de compostos poli-azóicos a partir deste polímero. Diferentes materiais foram sintetizados para investigar a influencia de diferentes substituintes na complexação de metais e futuros estudos de eficiência biológica. Pela técnica de ressonância magnética nuclear de próton em solução, o grau de substituição dos poli-azo-compostos foi de 46 a 66%. Os compostos foram caracterizados por FT-IR e RMN de 13C no estado sólido e RMN de 15N em solução, que confirmaram a síntese dos derivados poliméricos. Também foi realizado um estudo da interação destes materiais sintetizados com os íons metálicos Cu(II) e Zn(II). Para a caracterização dos complexos, utilizou-se as técnicas de titulação complexométrica, FAAS, MEV, EDS, difratometria de raios X, EPR e TG/DTG. Por titulação complexométrica e FAAS, a quitosana pura mostrou maior capacidade em complexar/adsorver os metais do que seus derivados. A capacidade de adsorver íons Cu(II) foi maior do que íons Zn(II) para todos os compostos. Por MEV e EDS, observou-se que além do cobre coordenado pelos sítios reativos dos materiais, o sal sulfato de cobre foi adsorvido pela superfície polimérica dos mesmos. Assim, foram realizadas reações de complexação utilizando o sal CuCl2.2H2O e os resultados mostraram que esse comportamento não ocorre para este sal. Para os complexos utilizando o sal sulfato de zinco, praticamente não se observa o sal adsorvido na superfície polimérica, devido à baixa capacidade de complexação por esse metal. A difratometria de raios X mostrou uma redução da cristalinidade dos complexos de cobre e zinco formados pela quitosana e o derivado Q1Benzil devido a maior capacidade desses materiais em quelar íons metálicos. Para os complexos de Cu(II) e Zn(II) formados a partir do composto Azo-Anisidina, o índice de cristalinidade aumenta, o que pode estar associado a formação de diferentes ligações de coordenação nesse composto. A formação dos complexos também foi confirmada por espectroscopia Raman. Os espectros de EPR dos complexos de Cu(II) formados a partir do sal CuCl2.2H2O mostram a presença de uma estrutura hiperfina bem resolvida, da mesma forma que foi observado para o complexo Quitosana-CuSO4, na qual a grande maioria dos centros de cobre são monoméricos e provavelmente ligados aos polímeros. As curvas de TG/DTG mostraram que os derivados poliméricos degradam a temperaturas menores que o polímero não modificado, e os complexos com sulfato de cobre apresentaram perfis TG/DTG diferentes dos complexos sintetizados a partir do sal cloreto de cobre. Por fim, tanto a quitosana quanto seus derivados Q1Benzil, Q2Benzil e Q2Benzil utilizando a quitosana de baixo peso molecular se mostraram efetivos na síntese de carbonatos através da captura e fixação de CO2 por estes materiais poliméricos. / The present work describes structural modifications in the side chain of the polymer chitosan by N-alkylation with different aromatic aldehydes, which originates Schiff base as an intermediate, followed by reduction with sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN). Subsequently, coupling reactions between the synthesized product N-benzyl chitosan and various diazonium salts were carried out to produce a new class of poly-azo compounds from this polymer. Different materials were synthesized to investigate the influence of different substituents on metal chelation and future studies of their biological efficience. From nuclear magnetic resonance technique, the degree of substitution of the poly-azo compounds was between 46 and 66%. The compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 13C NMR in solid state and 15N NMR in solution, which confirmed the synthesis of the polymeric derivatives. The interaction of the synthesized materials with the metal ions Cu(II) and Zn(II) was also studied. For the characterization of such metal complexes, the techniques complexometric titration, FAAS, SEM, EDS, X-ray diffraction, EPR and TG/DTG were employed in this work. By complexometric titration and FAAS, pure chitosan showed greater capacity for complex/adsorb metals than its derivatives. The capacity of adsorbing Cu(II) ions was greater than Zn(II) ions for all compounds. The synthesized complexes were studied by various spectroscopic techniques. By SEM and EDS, it was observed that in addition of copper coordination, copper sulphate salt was adsorbed by the polymer surface. Thus, complexation reactions were carried out using the salt CuCl2.2H2O and the results showed that this behavior does not occur for this salt. For complexes using zinc sulfate salt, hardly observes this salt adsorbed on the polymeric surface due to the low capacity for complexing this metal. The X-ray diffraction showed a reduction of the crystallinity of copper and zinc complexes formed by chitosan and Q1Benzil derivative due to the greater ability of these materials to chelate metal ions. For the complexes of Cu(II) and Zn(II) formed from Azo-Anisidine compound, the crystallinity index increases, which can be associated with formation of different coordination bonds with the compound. The formation of the complex was also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. EPR spectra of Cu(II) formed from the CuCl2.2H2O salt showed the presence of well resolved hyperfine structure in the same way as it was observed for chitosan-CuSO4, in which the majority of copper centers are monomeric and probably bound to the polymer. The TG/DTG curves showed that polymeric derivatives are less stable than the unmodified polymer, and complexes with copper sulfate had TG/DTG curves different from the complexes synthesized from copper chloride salt. Finally, chitosan and the derivatives Q1Benzil , Q2Benzil and Q2Benzil from low molecular weight chitosan were effective in the synthesis of carbonates through the capture and sequestration of CO2 by these polymeric materials. / FAPESP: 2012/13901-3

This bachelor thesis covers the initial development of a synthesis of fullerene dimers using two different types of linking reactions. Different setups for [3+2] cycloadditions to fullerenes (Prato reaction) were tested, and for that purpose, an N-alkylated amino acid was synthesised. Hydroarylation of fullerene using Rh-catalysis was also studied, using both MIDA protected and unprotected boronic acids, as well as by using cycloaddition products. A range of model compounds in form of fulleropyrrolidenes were synthesised. Products were puried with HPLC and analysed with MALDI-MS and 1H NMR. A range of new compounds were synthesised and characterisation of them was begun. With MALDI-MS, indications that the fullerene dimer had formed were found. Using synthesised model compounds, by-products of the hydroarylation reaction were identied. / Denna kandidatuppsats behandlar påborjandet av syntesutvecklingen för bildandet av fullerendimerer genom användandet av två olika sorters länkningskemi. Olika förhållanden och reagens for [3+2]-cykloaddition till fullerener (Pratoreaktionen) studerades, och i samband med det syntetiserades en N-alkylerad aminosyra. Hydroarylering av fullerener med hjälp utav rodiumkatalys studerades även, genom reaktioner med både skyddade och oskyddade borsyror, inklusive fulleropyrrolidiner. Produkter har renats upp med HPLC och analyserats med MALDI-MS och 1H NMR. En uppsättning nya substanser har syntetiserts, men karaktäriseringen av dessa har inte slutförts. Genom användning av MALDI-MS har indikationer att fullerendimer bildats framkommit. Genom att använda syntetiserade modellsubstanser har biprodukter från hydroaryleringsreaktionen identierats.

Les ions phosphiraniums sont connus depuis plus d’une cinquantaine d’année mais leur ouverture C-centrée n’a jamais été décrite. Une telle réactivité permettrait d’obtenir des phosphines β fonctionnalisées de façon innovante ouvrant ainsi la voie à de nouvelles perspectives synthétiques. De nouveaux phosphiranes ainsi que les ions phosphiraniums correspondant ont été synthétisés au travers de réactions innovantes d’alkylations et d’arylations. Ces composés ont par la suite pus être ouverts sélectivement sur le carbone du cycle pour la première fois, ce par l’intermédiaires de différents nucléophiles azotés. La méthodologie proposée au cours de ce projet de thèse a permis l’obtention de composés de type β-aminophosphines innovants tant par la structure que par la voie d’accès. De nombreux paramètres ont pu être étudiés pendant cette étude afin de mieux appréhender les différentes interactions et facteurs régissant cette réactivité singulière. / Phosphiraniums ions are known for more than fifty years. However, heir C-centered ring opening has never been reported. This novel reactivity would grant access to β-functionalized phosphines in an innovative manner, opening the way to new synthetic perspectives. Novel phosphiranes as well as their corresponding phosphiraniums have been synthesized through alkylation and arylation reactions. Then, these compounds were reacted with different nitrogen compounds allowing their ring opening in a C-centered fashion for the very first time. New β-aminophosphines could be accessed this way in regards for their innovative structure and synthetic pathway. Various parameters have been studied to increase our understanding on these specific yet promising reactions.In this line, along this PhD project, interactions and factors which might rule this particular reactivity were screemed.

(a) The Robins reagent [2-acetamido-6-O-(diphenylcarbamoyl)purine] was utilized for glycosylation under Lewis acid conditions. Regioselectivity of glycosylation depends on the glycosyl donor and its 2-O- or 2-N-protecting group. Regioselective N9 glycosylation of 2-acetamido-6-O-(diphenylcarbamoyl)purine with problematic glucosamine has been accomplished by protecting the amino function as a phthalimido group with consequent stabilization of the oxocarbenium cation, and lowering the activation energy by introduction of trichloroacetimidate at the anomeric carbon. (b) 6-Heteroaryl functions [6-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) and 6-(imidazol-1-yl)] were introduced into purine derivatives for regioselective N9 alkylation. The regiospecificity of alkylation mainly results from steric effects due to the coplanar conformation of the two linked heterocyclic rings governed by conjugation. Several of the obtained acyclic derivatives showed antiviral and antitumor activities. (c) Glycosylation of purine derivatives with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-a-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride using the sodium salt method usually gave a mixture of both anomers. Lipophilic groups were introduced into the imidazole ring of 6-(imidazol-1-yl)purine derivatives to increase the solubility of the sodium salts in moderately polar solvents. Differential solvation effects in binary solvent mixtures were utilized to improve the stereoselectivity of glycosylation. The stereoselectivity varied with the sizes of lipophilic groups and the polarity of solvents. With the propyl group, and in CH3CN/toluene (1:1) and/or CH3CN/CH2Cl2 (1:1), regiospecfic and highly stereoselective glycosylation of purines with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-a-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride was achieved. (d) Using the above method, a low cost and efficient synthesis of 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (2-CdA, cladribine) was accomplished with an overall yield of 48% from inexpensive guanosine and 57% from 2,6-dichloropurine. 2-Chloro-6-(2-propylimidazol-1-yl)purine was prepared either from guanosine in a yield of 61% in 5 steps or from 2,6-dichloropurine in a yield of 72% in one step. Coupling of this 2-chloro-6-heteroarylpurine with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-α-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride in binary solvent mixtures, followed by activation of imidazolyl as a better leaving group via benzylation at N3 and then ammonolysis gave cladribine in good yield (79%) for 3 steps. Analogs of purine derivatives with lipophilic groups (butyl, pentyl and 2-phenylpropyl) worked almost as well.

Phase-transfer catalysts derived from the cinchona alkaloids cinchonine and cinchonidine are widely used in the asymmetric alkylation of substrates bearing moieties that resonance stabilize their enolates. The investigation of α-oxygenated esters revealed decreased α-proton acidity, indicating the oxygen's overall destabilizing effect on enolates by electron-pair repulsion. Alkylation of α-oxygenated aryl ketones with various alkyl halides proved successful with a cinchonidine catalyst, giving products with high yield and enantioselectivity. The resulting compounds were converted to esters through modified Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. Alkylation with indolyl electrophiles gave products that underwent decomposition under Baeyer-Villiger conditions. Alternative N-methylimidazolyl ketones were explored. Alkylated imidazolyl ketones, obtained in high yield and enantioselectivity, could be converted to esters through treatment with methyl triflate and basic methanol. This technique has the advantage of not requiring stoichiometric addition of chiral reagents, which is requisite when employing traditional chiral auxiliaries. This method's utility is demonstrated in the total asymmetric syntheses of (+)-kurasoin B and analogs, and 12-(S)-HETE. Kurasoin B is a fungal-derived natural compound possessing moderate farnesyl transfer (FTase) inhibitive activity (IC50 = 58.7 μM). FTase catalyzes post-translation modifications of membrane-bound Ras proteins, which function in signal cell transduction that stimulates cell growth and division. The oncogenic nature of mutated Ras proteins is demonstrated by their commonality in human tumors. Thus, FTase inhibitors like (+)-kurasoin B possess potential as cancer chemotherapy leads. Derivatization may enable structure-activity-relationship studies and greater FTase inhibition activity to be found. 12-(S)-HETE, a metabolite from a 12-lipoxygenase pathway from arachidonic acid, has been found to participate in a large number of physiological processes. Its transient presence in natural tissues makes total synthesis an attractive avenue for obtaining sufficient quantities for further study. Five asymmetric syntheses of 12-(S)-HETE have been reported. Three require chiral resolutions of racemates, with the undesired enantiomers being discarded or used for other applications. Asymmetric PTC alkylation is also described for aryl acetates, whose products were enantioenriched through recrystallization. This technique is applied to a total synthesis of the anti-inflammatory drug (S)-Naproxen.
