The molar ratio between oil and alcohol, as well as the use of (KOH) catalyst to provide the chemical reaction is based on literature. The best results were obtained using 1 mol of castor oil (260g) to 3 moles of methyl alcohol (138g), using 1.0% KOH as catalyst at a temperature of 260 ? C and shaken at 120 rpm. The oil used was commercially available, the process involves the reaction of transesterification of a vegetable oil with methyl alcohol. The product of this reaction is an ester, biodiesel being the main product and the glycerin by-product which has undergone treatment for use as raw material for the production of allyl alcohol. The great advantage of the use of glycerin to obtain allyl alcohol is that its use eliminates the large amount of waste of the biodiesel and various forms of insult to the environment. The reactions for the formation of allyl alcohol was conducted from formic acid and glycerin in a ratio 1/1, at a temperature of 260oC in a heater blanket, being sprayed by a spiral condenser for a period of 2 hours and the product obtained contains mostly the allylic alcohol .. The monitoring of reactions was performed by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer: FTIR Fourier transform, the analysis showed that these changes occur spectrometer indicating the formation of the product allylic alcohol (prop-2-en-1-ol) in the presence of water, This alcohol was appointed Alcohol GL. The absorption bands confirms that the reaction was observed in (? C = C) 1470 -1600 cm -1 and (? CO), 3610-3670 attributed to C = C groups and OH respectively. The thermal analysis was carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer SDT Q600, where the mass and temperature are displayed against time, that allows checking the approximate rate of heating. The innovative methodology developed in the laboratory (LABTAM, UFRN), was able to treat the glycerine produced by transesterification of castor oil and used as raw material for production of allyl alcohol, with a yield of 80%, of alcohol, the same is of great importance in the manufacture of polymers, pharmaceuticals, organic compounds, herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals / Neste trabalho o biodiesel foi produzido a partir de ?leo de mamona que teve como subproduto a glicerina. A raz?o molar entre ?leo e ?lcool, bem como o uso do (KOH) como catalisador qu?mico para proporcionar a rea??o, foi baseada em dados da literatura. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos, utilizando 1 mol de ?leo de mamona (260g) para 3 mols de ?lcool met?lico (138g). O ?leo utilizado foi adquirido comercialmente, o processo de transesterifica??o envolve a rea??o do ?leo vegetal com um ?lcool met?lico. O produto dessa rea??o ? um ?ster, sendo o biodiesel o seu principal produto e a glicerina o sub-produto a qual foi submetida a tratamento para uso como mat?ria-prima para a obten??o do ?lcool al?lico. A grande vantagem do uso da glicerina para obten??o de ?lcool al?lico ? que sua utiliza??o elimina a grande quantidade de res?duos do biodiesel e v?rias formas de agress?o ao meio ambiente. As rea??es para forma??o do ?lcool alilico foram conduzidas a partir de ?cido f?rmico e glicerina, em uma raz?o 1/1, sob temperatura de 260oC, em uma manta aquecedora, sendo vaporizado por um condensador em espiral por um per?odo de 2 horas, e o produto obtido contem em sua grande maioria o ?lcool al?lico. O acompanhamento das rea??es foi realizado por Espectrofot?metro UV-Vis?vel: FTIR com transformada de Fourier, a an?lise revelou que estas altera??es espectrom?tricas ocorrem indicando a forma??o do produto ?lcool al?lico (prop-2-en-1-ol), em presen?a de ?gua, este ?lcool foi nomeado de ?lcool GL. As bandas de absor??o que confirmam a rea??o foram observadas em (? C=C) em 1470 -1600 cm-1 e em (? C-O), 3610 3670 atribu?das aos grupos C=C e O-H respectivamente. A analise t?rmica foi realizada em um analisador Termogravim?trico SDT Q600, onde a massa e a temperatura ser?o exibidos em fun??o do tempo, isto permite a verifica??o aproximada da taxa de aquecimento. A metodologia inovadora desenvolvida no laborat?rio (LABTAM, UFRN), foi capaz de tratar a glicerina produzida, atrav?s da transesterifica??o de ?leo de mamona e utilizar como mat?ria prima para produ??o do ?lcool al?lico, apresentando um rendimento de 80%, deste ?lcool, o mesmo ? de grande import?ncia na fabrica??o de pol?meros, medicamentos, compostos org?nicos, herbicidas, pesticidas e outros produtos qu?micos

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / A viabilidade econÃmica da produÃÃo do biodiesel depende do uso do glicerol, subproduto com estrutura multifuncional, considerado matÃriaâprima bio-renovÃvel, de grande potencial para ser transformado a combustÃveis ou produtos quÃmicos de maior valor agregado. Com o intuito de contribuir para o desenvolvimento dessa linha de pesquisa, foi realizado estudo do potencial catalÃtico da γ-Al2O3 modificada com Ãxido de molibdÃnio e promotores (Cu, Ni ou Co), na reaÃÃo de desidrataÃÃo do glicerol a intermediÃrios quÃmicos com aplicaÃÃo industrial. A estratÃgia foi sintetizar esferas de Al2O3 por mÃtodo hÃbrido, as quais apresentam interessantes propriedades estruturais, texturais e quÃmicas para em seguida impregnar com precursores dos metais via mÃtodo nÃo-convencional (Pechini). A composiÃÃo dos materiais foi escolhida com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito bifuncional causado pela combinaÃÃo das propriedades Ãcido/bÃsicas e redox de catalisadores de molibdÃnio suportado em alumina. Para fins comparativos foi testado catalisador comercial Ni-Mo/Al2O3 com elevada acidez e porosidade. Os catalisadores foram caracterizados por: ICP-OES, FRX, TGA/DTA, DRX, MEV, IV, TPR-H2, TPD-CO2, isotermas de adsorÃÃo/dessorÃÃo de N2, e acidez atravÃs de adsorÃÃo de piridina. O desempenho dos catalisadores foi avaliado na desidrataÃÃo do glicerol, sob fluxo de N2 ou H2, a 1atm e 250ÂC. As mudanÃas na atividade e seletividade devido à troca do gÃs de arraste estÃo associadas a alteraÃÃes nas propriedades Ãcido/redox dos catalisadores, como sugerido pelas medidas de acidez e TPR-H2. AcroleÃna foi o principal produto observado para todos os catalisadores, porÃm a amostra contendo cobre (CuMoAl), mostrou maior atividade catalÃtica e superior seletividade a Ãlcool alÃlico, bem como produÃÃo do 1-propanol; o que està associado a transferÃncia de hidrogÃnio. Essa seletividade concorda com resultados de TPR-H2, que mostram maior influÃncia do cobre sobre a reduÃÃo do Ãxido de molibdÃnio, quando comparado aos promotores (Co ou Ni). Ao final sÃo propostos passos reacionais envolvidos na conversÃo do glicerol a Ãlcool alÃlico. / The economic viability of biodiesel production depends of the use of glycerol, by-product with multifunctional structure, considered a bio-renewable feedstock of great potential to be transformed to fuel or higher value-added chemicals products. In order to contribute to the development of this research area, study was carried out in order to explore the catalytic potential γ-Al2O3 modified with molybdenum oxide and promoter (Cu, Ni or Co) in the glycerol dehydration reaction to chemical intermediates with industrial application was performed. The strategy was to synthesize Al2O3 spheres by hybrid method with interesting structural, textural and chemical properties for then impregnating with precursors of metals via unconventional method (Pechini). The material composition was chosen with the aim of evaluating the bifunctional effect caused by the combination of acid-base and redox properties of molybdenum catalysts supported on alumina. For comparison was evaluated commercial Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst with high acidity and porosidade. The catalysts were characterized for: ICP-OES, XRF, TGA/DTA, XRD, SEM, IR, H2-TPR, TPD-CO2, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, and acidity measurements through pyridine adsorption. The catalytic performance was evaluated in the glycerol dehydration under N2 or H2 flow at atmospheric pressure and 250ÂC. The modification in the activity and selectivity due to the change of carrier gas are attributed to the changes of acid/redox properties of the catalyst, as suggested by acidity measurements and TPR-H2. Acrolein was the main product observed for all catalysts, but the cupper containing catalyst (CuMoAl) showed higher catalytic activity and, and superior selectivity to allyl alcohol, as well as the production of 1-propanol, which is due to the hydrogen transfer. This selectivity agrees with H2-TPR results, which show stronger effect of the copper over the molybdenum oxide reduction, if compared to the others promoter (Co or Ni). At the end it is proposed the reaction steps mechanism for the glycerol conversion to allyl alcohol.

Les revêtements poudres UV suscitent un développement croissant en raison, entre autres, de leurs qualités et de leur respect de la législation sur la minimisation des émissions polluantes. Un nouveau revêtement poudre UV à base de (co)polyamide de faible masse molaire et porteur de fonctions réactives sous UV a été élaboré en vue d'une application sur des supports sensibles aux hautes températures. Nous avons donc synthétisé un copolyamide 6/11/12 alpha, oméga-insaturé présentant une température de fusion de 107°C et une masse molaire moyenne en nombre de 7250 g/mol. L'irradiation sous UV de ce copolyamide, en présence de 4 % en masse de benzophénone, a permis, par polymérisation des doubles liaisons allyliques et formation des liaisons covalentes au niveau des ponts amide, de compenser la perte de cristallinité en le réticulant. Le revêtement obtenu, bien que restant à optimiser, a montré globalement de meilleures propriétés que celles des matériaux références fournis par Arkema. / UV powder coatings are developed continuously because of their qualities and their respect for legislation on the minimization of polluting programs. A new UV powder coating (co)polyamide based of weak average molar mass and bearing UV-reactive functions has been worked out for high temperatures sensitive substrates application. We therfore synthesised an alpha,omega-insatured copolyamide 6/11/12 having a weak melting temperature of 107° C and a number-average molar mass of 7250 g/mol. Under UV radiation, and in presence of (-wt) 4% of benzophenone, polymerization of allylic double bonds of this copolyamide and formation of links at the level of amide functions allows to compensate the loss of crystallinity by crosslinking. The obtained coating, although remaining to optimise, showed properties on the whole better than those of reference materials provided by Arkema.

Deux nouveaux concepts, visant à reproduire la chimie radicalaire des diétains à l’aide de radicaux centrés sur le silicium, sont présentés à travers ce manuscrit. Le premier concept introduit les “silaboranes”, des molécules constituées d’un motif de type silane et d’un atome de bore. Ceux-ci ont pour la première fois été exploités comme générateurs de radicaux triméthylsilyle via l’utilisation de la réaction de SHi sur le silicium (Substitution Homolytique Intramoléculaire) à partir de disilanes. Des études cinétiques et de modélisation moléculaires de la réaction de SHi ont, entre autres, permis de rationaliser les résultats. Le potentiel des “silaboranes” en tant que substituts des diétains a été entrevu à travers des réactions d’additions radicalaires d’halogénures sur des éthers d’oxime sulfonylés. Le concept des "silaboranes" a ensuite été étendu à des hydrures de silicium, grâce à une réaction de transfert d’hydrogène intramoléculaire, permettant de produire des radicaux triphénylsilyles. Le second concept a révélé la capacité des allyl tris(triméthylsilyl)silanes pour reproduire les réactions radicalaires des diétains via une réaction de beta-fragmentation du groupement tris(triméthylsilyle). Ces substrats, source de radicaux tris(triméthysilyle) et simples d’accès, se sont avérés d’intéressants candidats pour assister l’addition de dérivés bromés et iodés sur des substrats sulfonylés de type allyl, vinyl et éther d’oxime. / Two new concepts, aiming to substitute ditin radical chemistry by using silyl radicals, are developed throughout this manuscript. The first concept introduces “silaboranes”, molecules made up of a silane unit and a boron atom. For the first time, the ability of these precursors to generate trimethylsilyl radicals was demonstrated by using the SHi reaction at silicon (Intramolecular Homolytic Substitution) from disilanes. Besides, results are supported by kinetic and computationnal studies of the SHi reaction at silicon. Capacity of “silaboranes” to achieve tin-free radical processes was demonstrated thanks to radical addition of halogenated species on sulfonyl oxime ethers. “Silaboranes” concept was then extended to silicon hydrides using intramolecular hydrogen transfer as source of triphenylsilyl radicals. The second concept highlights the ability of allyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes to make possible tin-free radical reactions via beta-fragmentation of the tris(trimethylsilyl) group. These compounds, source of tris(trimethylsilyl) radicals and easily available, open very interesting perspectives in tin-free radical addition of bromides and iodides species on sulfonyl derivatives as allyl sulfones, vinyl sulfones or sulfonyl oxime ethers.

The present dissertation covers the total synthesis of viridiofungin triesters and studies toward the total synthesis of xeniolide F. In both cases, sigmatropic rearrangements of α-allyloxy substituted α,β-unsaturated esters are employed: for the viridiofungin ester synthesis a [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement and for the xeniolide F synthesis a catalytic asymmetric Claisen rearrangement CAC. For both rearrangement reactions the historical development, main characteristic and important variations are discussed. The viridiofungin triester synthesis represents a convergent and highly flexible route toward these natural products. The [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement allowed the diastereoselective synthesis of the polar head group with two adjacent stereogenic centers. The E-configured double bond was formed by a Julia-Kocienski olefination. During the studies toward the total synthesis of xeniolide F a new, diastereoselective strategy for the generation of allyl vinyl ethers with E-configured vinyl ether double bond was established employing rhodium catalyzed OH-insertion and an E-selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination. Under the conditions of the catalytic asymmetric Claisen rearrangement (CAC) this highly substituted allyl vinyl ether rearranged diastero- and enantioselectively to the corresponding a-keto ester. This example clearly illustrates the high potential of the CAC as synthetic tool for natural product synthesis. / In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Totalsynthese von Tirestern der Viridiofungine A, A2 und A4 sowie die Synthese eines Schlüsselintermediates für die Totalsynthese von Xeniolid F dargestellt. In beiden Fällen wird ausgehend von einem α-allyloxysubstituierten α,β-ungesättigten Ester eine Umlagerungsreaktion als Schlüsselschritt eingesetzt: im Falle der Viridiofunginester eine diastereoselektive [2,3]-Wittig-Umlagerung, bei den Arbeiten zur Totalsynthese von Xeniolid F eine diastero- und enantioselektive, katalytische Claisenumlagerung. Für beide Umlagerungsreaktionen werden ausführlich die theoretischen Hintergründe sowie die historische Entwicklung und wichtige Varianten besprochen. Mit der Viridiofungintriestersynthese wird eine konvergente und bezüglich der lipophilen Seitenkette sehr flexible Syntheseroute vorgestellt. Die [2,3]-Wittig-Umlagerung konnte dabei erfolgreich für die diastereoselektive Synthese der hochsubstituierten, polaren Kopfgruppe der Viridiofunginester mit zwei benachbarten stereogenen Zentren (davon eines quartär) eingesetzt werden. Zur Bildung der E-konfigurierten Doppelbindung wurde die Julia-Kocienskie-Olefinierung ausgenutzt. Bei den Arbeiten zur Totalsynthese von Xeniolid F wurde eine neuartige Strategie zur diastereoselektiven Synthese eines Allylvinylethers mit E-konfigurierter Vinyletherdoppelbindung eingesetzt. Die Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons-Olefinierung (HWE-Olefinierung) generierte dabei E-selektiv die Vinyletherdoppelbindung. Das für die HWE-Olefinierung benötigte Phosphonat wurde durch rhodiumkatalysierte OH-Insertion aus einem Allylalkohol und einem Diazaphosphonoacetat hergestellt. Der hochsubstituierte Allylvinylether wurde unter den Bedingungen der katalytisch asymmetrischen Claisenumlagerung umgesetzt und führte mit exzellenter Diastereo- und Enantioselektivität zum entsprechenden α-Ketoester. Anhand dieses Beispiels konnte das Potential der katalytisch asymmetrischen Claisenumlagerung zum Aufbau von hochfunktionalisierten Bausteinen für die Naturstoffsynthese verdeutlicht werden.

This thesis describes the measurement of rate constants for gas phase reactions as a function of temperature (285 ≤ T/K ≤ 850) and pressure (48 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 700). One or both reactants was monitored directly in real time, using time–resolved resonance fluorescence (for atoms) and u.v. absorption (for radicals). Reactants were produced by exciplex laser flash photolysis. The technique was used to measure rate constants to high precision for the following reactions under the stated conditions: • H+O2+He->HO2+He and H+O2−→OH+O, for 800 ≤ T/K ≤ 850 and 100 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 259. A time–resolved study was performed at conditions close to criticality in the H2–O2 system. The competition between the two reactions affected the behaviour of the system after photolysis, and the rate constants were inferred from this behaviour. • H+C2H4+He<-->C2H5+He (T = 800 K, 97 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 600). The reactions were well into the fall–off region at all conditions studied. At 800 K, the system was studied under equilibrating conditions. The study provided values of the forward and reverse rate constants at high temperatures and enabled a test of a new theory of reversible unimolecular reactions. The controversial standard enthalpy of formation of ethyl, DH0f,298 (C2H5), was determined to be 120.2±0.8 kJ mol−1. Master Equation calculations showed that reversible and irreversible treatments of an equilibrating system should yield the same value for both thermal rate constants. • H+C3H5+He->C3H6+He (T = 291 K, 98 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 600) and O+C3H5 −→ products (286 ≤ T/K ≤ 500, 48 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 348). Both reactions were pressure–independent, and the latter was also independent of temperature with a value of (2.0±0.2) ×10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. • H+C2H2+He<-->C2H3+He (298 ≤ T/K ≤ 845, 50 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 600). At 845 K, both reactions were in the fall–off region; rate constants were used to determine the standard enthalpy of formation of vinyl, ¢H0f,298 (C2H3), as 293±7 kJ mol−1. The value of this quantity has until recently been very controversial. • H+CH4 <--> CH3+H2. The standard enthalpy of formation of methyl, DH0 f,298 (CH3), was determined by re–analysing existing kinetic data at T = 825 K and 875 K. A value of 144.7±1.1 kJ mol−1 was determined. Preliminary models were examined to describe the loss of reactants from the observation region by diffusion and pump–out. Such models, including diffusion and drift, should prove useful in describing the loss of reactive species in many slow–flow systems, enabling more accurate rate constants to be determined.
