Among these many synthetic derivation strategies currently, the metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been highlighted in the literature, such as: Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, Heck, Negishi and Buchwald-Hartwig. In the present work, it is aimed the obtaining and preparation of natural heterocycles skeleton, and your derivations via cross-coupling palladium-catalyzed reactions; of which were obtained excellent results for the first three mentioned above, which was not repeated for the last two protocols, from the reactional conditions used. In all synthetics strategies realized, reactional conditions were diversify, such as temperature, reactional time, energy source, base, catalysts, among others; with the in order to observe the effects these changes and obtain the best sets of conditions. Besides the palladium-catalyzed reactions, some of cumarinic alkynes obtained by Sonogashira were submitted to the catalytic hydrogenation, to provide new alkanes with different spacers between the coumarinic ring and their phenyl groups. In general, the final compounds obtained showed from good to great yield values, reflecting on success in mostprotocols tested, where a total of 48 final molecules were obtained, of which 26 are novel compounds, all being characterized and proven according to their chemical structures. / Compostos naturais, como cumarinas e outros heterociclos oxigenados, tem se mostrado como uma rica fonte de substâncias bioativas, porém, devido à dificuldade da obtenção em grandes quantidades dessas substâncias isoladas, vários métodos de síntese total, ou semi-síntese têm sido desenvolvidos. Dentre as muitas estratégias de derivação sintética utilizadas atualmente, as reações de acoplamento cruzado catalisadas por metais têm tido destaque na literatura, como: Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, Heck, Negishi e Buchwald- Hartwig. No presente trabalho, objetivou-se a obtenção e preparação de esqueletos de heterociclos naturais, e suas derivações via reações de acoplamento cruzado catalisadas por paládio; das quais foram obtidos excelentes resultados para as três primeiras citadas anteriormente, o que não se repetiu para os dois últimos protocolos, a partir das condições reacionais utilizadas. Em todas as estratégias sintéticas realizadas, condições reacionais foram variadas, como temperatura, tempo recional, fonte de energia, base, catalisadores, entre outros; com o intuito de se observar os efeitos dessas mudanças e obter os melhores conjuntos de condições. Além das reações catalisadas por paládio, alguns dos alcinos cumarínicos obtidos por Sonogashira foram submetidos à hidrogenação catalítica, para fornecer novos alcanos com diferentes espaçadores entre o anel cumarínico e seus grupos fenílicos. De maneira geral, os compostos finais obtidos demonstraram de bons a ótimos valores de rendimento, refletindo no sucesso em boa parte dos protocolos testados, onde um total de 48 moléculas finais foram obtidas, das quais 26 são compostos inéditos, sendo todas caracterizadas e comprovadas de acordo com suas estruturas químicas.

Les triarylbismuths sont des réactifs organométalliques d’un intérêt croissant en synthèse organique, pour leur aptitude à transférer leurs trois groupements aryles dans les réactions de couplage croisé C-C pallado-catalysées. Ces réactifs essentiellement non toxiques et « économiques en atomes » sont attrayants dans le cadre d’une chimie plus respectueuse de l’environnement, et présentent des applications en chimie pharmaceutique et en science des matériaux. Cependant, leur développement est ralenti par le manque de connaissances théoriques à leur sujet. Cette thèse vise alors à comprendre la réactivité de ces espèces en confrontant les données expérimentales avec celles obtenues à travers une étude théorique fondamentale (propriétés structurelles, spectroscopiques, thermodynamiques et cinétiques) résultant de calculs DFT. Le but ultime est de prévoir de nouvelles réactivités et sélectivités. Un premier volet se rapporte à une étude comparative de relation structure-propriétés sur des composés incluant un pnictogène comme atome central, tel que le bismuth, et sur différents organobismuths. Les données expérimentales existantes (cristallographiques, RMN, IR) ont été comparées aux résultats théoriques (structures, énergies, modes de vibration, indices de réactivité, etc.). Une fois les propriétés intrinsèques de ces composés mises en évidence et la méthode DFT validée, une nouvelle étude de relation structure-réactivité a été entreprise. Dans ce deuxième volet, nous avons validé le mécanisme des réactions de couplage croisé impliquant des triarylbismuths catalysées par le palladium. Les trois étapes principales du cycle catalytique ont été examinées, à savoir l'addition oxydante, la transmetallation et l'élimination réductrice, et validées en caractérisant les différents intermédiaires et états de transition. La deuxième étape de transmetallation impliquant les triarylbismuths a également fait l'objet d'une étude approfondie. En particulier, la transférabilité des trois groupements aryles et l'influence des substituants (effets électroniques et stériques) sur les barrières de transfert ont été évaluées. Enfin, la réactivité des triarylbismuths a été comparée avec celle d’autres organométalliques afin de développer de nouvelles voies de synthèse / Triarylbismuths are organometallic reagents of growing interest for organic synthesis, for their ability to transfer the three aryl moieties in C-C Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. These essentially non-toxic, atom efficient reactants are attractive in the context of environment-friendly chemistry and have applications in pharmaceutical chemistry and in material science. However, their development is hampered by lack of theoretical understanding. This thesis aims to explore the reactivity of these species by comparing the experimental data to fundamental theoretical studies (structural, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and kinetic properties) resulting from DFT calculations. The ultimate goal is to predict new reactivities and selectivities. A first approach consists in a comparative study on the relation between structure and properties in compounds having a pnictogen central atom like bismuth, and in different organobismuths. The existing experimental data (crystallographic, NMR, IR) were compared to the results of theoretical calculations (structures, energies, vibrational modes, reactivity parameters, etc.). After highlighting the intrinsic properties of these compounds and validating the DFT method, a new study was undertaken to elucidate the relations between structure and reactivity. This second investigation enabled us to validate the mechanism of the cross-coupling reaction involving triarylbismuths under palladium catalysis. The three major steps of the catalytic cycle have been examined, i.e. the oxidative addition, transmetallation and reductive elimination, and validated by characterizing the different intermediates and transition states. The second transmetalation step involving the triarylbismuths has also been deeply investigated. The transferability of the three aryl groups and the influence of the electronic and steric effects of the substituents on the energy barrier have been evaluated. Finally, the reactivity of triarylbismuths has been compared with that of other organometallics, to develop new synthetic approaches

This thesis is engaged in the synthesis of polysubstituted pyrimidines with anti- inflammatory properties. Such molecules can inhibit production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The aim of this study was to enhance water-solubility and anti-inflammatory efficacy of such derivatives via structural modifications of the lead scaffold. Among applied synthetic tools, the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling was the prevalent reaction, however, many other synthetic procedures (Heck reaction, condensation, borylation, ozonolysis, nucleophilic substitution, etc.) were utilized as well. Overall, 43 final products were prepared. The anti-inflammatory efficacy (inhibition of PGE2 production) was successfully increased as the most potent compound achieved three orders of magnitude higher activity compared to the current lead structure WQE-134. Furthermore, no general influence of the length of the substituent in the C5 position of pyrimidine (C5pyr) on the anti-inflammatory efficacy of synthesized compounds was observed. Significant bioavailability obstacle in future development of the current lead WQE-134 is its poor solubility which was successfully enhanced by introduction of heteroatom bearing moieties to C5pyr. The most water-soluble compound achieved two orders of magnitude higher solubility than WQE-134 while...

Le couplage covalent sur surface métallique en UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) est une technique émergente permettant de synthétiser des structures moléculaires impossibles à obtenir par la chimie en solution (nanorubans de graphène, polymères 2D par exemple). Aujourd'hui, le plus grand défi reste le développement de ces réactions sur des surfaces isolantes pour différentes applications comme, par exemple, l'électronique moléculaire. En particulier, le couplage de dérivés d'acides benzoïques, greffés sur les surfaces de carbonate de calcium en UHV par des groupes carboxyliques, a été démontré récemment pour la première fois. Lors de ces travaux, nous avons dans un premier temps synthétisé des molécules précurseurs de réactions de couplage (homo-couplage d'éthyne, photopolymérisation, polycondensation et réaction d'Ullmann) sur des surfaces de carbonate de calcium en UHV. Par la suite, nous avons mené cette étude à l'échelle macroscopique (semi-préparatoire), par greffage de molécules sur des microparticules de carbonate de calcium, puis activation de la réaction, et enfin dissolution du substrat afin d'extraire le produit final. Les microparticules ont été obtenues par broyage de produit commercial ainsi que par spray pyrolyse et complètement caractérisées par FTIR, ATG/DTG, DRX, MEB et BET. Les réactions de couplage ont été activées par deux méthodes sans solvant: par broyage dans une broyeuse planétaire ou par traitement thermique sous vide. Alors qu'en UHV le couplage de l'acide 4-iodobenzoïque donne l'acide biphenyldicarboxylique, en mécanochimie nous avons obtenu l'acide benzoïque et par activation thermique l'éther dibenzoïque. / Covalent coupling on metallic surfaces in UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) conditions is a new method for preparing molecular structures otherwise impossible to achieve in solution (graphene nanoribbons, 2D polymers for instance). The major challenge is now to extend these reactions from metallic to insulating surfaces, for future applications as, for instance, in molecular electronics. In particular, the coupling reaction of benzoic acid derivatives, grafted on calcite via carboxylic groups, has been demonstrated for the first time in UHV conditions. In the first part of this work, we synthesized precursor molecules for specific reactions (homocoupling of ethynes, photopolymerization, polycondensation and Ullmann reaction) on calcium carbonate in UHV conditions. In the second part of this work we extended this investigation up to the macroscale level (semi-preparative) by grafting molecules on calcium carbonate microparticles, followed by reaction activation and finally by dissolution of the substrate in order to recover the coupling products. The calcium carbonate microparticles were prepared by grinding commercial product or by spray pyrolysis and were fully characterized by FTIR, TG/DTG, XRD, SEM and BET techniques. Then, after grafting of organic reactant, the reactions were activated with two different solvent-free methods: by grinding in a planetary milling machine or by heating the samples in a furnace under vacuum. Whereas in UHV conditions, 4-iodobenzoic acid affords biphenyldicarboxylic acid, mechanochemical condition gives benzoic acid and thermal activation the dibenzoic acid ether.

Un grand nombre de 3,4-bisindolylmaléimides possède une activité inhibitrice des protéine-kinases. Les 3-isothiazolone-1,(1)-(di)oxydes pouvant être considérées comme des analogues de la maléimide, la fonctionalisation des 5-chloro- et 4,5-dichloro-3-isothiazolone 1,(1)-(di)oxydes par des réactions de couplage palladocatalysé de Suzuki-Miyaura, permet d'accéder aux analogues “thia” des 3,4-bisindolylmaléimides. La synthèse de sulfonamides primaires tels que les dérivés 4-(hétéro)aryl substitués du benzènesulfonamide comme inhibiteurs potentiels de l'anhydrase carbonique, a également été envisagée dans ce travail.Une collection de matériaux hybrides constitués de nanoparticules de palladium adsorbées sur des nanostructures de carbone a été préparée et testée dans des réactions de couplages palladocatalysés, comme catalyseurs en milieu hétérogène. Le plus efficace d'entre eux, associant des nanoparticules de palladium stabilisées par le dodécanethiol et adsorbées sur des nanotubes de carbones “multi-walled”, a été employé afin de préparer vingt-quatre nouveaux dérivés 4-(hétéro)aryl substitués du benzènesulfonamide. L'échec de l'utilisation de ce catalyseur dans les reactions de fonctionalisation des isothiazolone-1,(1)-(di)oxydes nous a contraints à employer un catalyseur plus conventionnel, le PdCl2(dppf)•CH2Cl2.Le dernier volet de ce projet visait à concevoir des catalyseurs à base de nanoparticules de palladium encapsulées dans des nanofibres de carbone “grafitisées” (nanoréacteurs). Une série de nanoréacteurs a pu être préparée et nous avons étudié l'effet du confinement généré à l'intérieur de la nanofibre, sur la réaction palladocatalysée de Suzuki-Miyaura. / 3,4-bisindolylmaleimides possess an inhibitory activity against protein kinase. Because 3-isothiazolone-1,(1)-(di)oxide can be considered as maleimide analog, 5-chloro and 4,5-dichloro-3-isothiazolone-1,(1)-(di)oxide were functionalised using a palladium-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction achieving the “thia” analogs of 3,4-bisindolylmaleimides. We were also interested in the preparation primary sulfonamides such as 4-(hetero)aryl substituted benzenesulfonamides as carbonic anhydrases inhibitors.A series of hybrid materials comprising palladium nanoparticles adsorbed on carbon nanostructures has been prepared and tested as heterogeneous catalysts of palladium-mediated cross-coupling reactions. The best catalyst, resulting in palladium nanoparticles stabilised by dodecanethiol adsorbed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes, was employed in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions for the preparation of twenty-four new 4-(hetero)aryl substituted benzenesulfonamides. As this catalyst failed in the functionalisation of isothiazolone-1,(1)-(di)oxides, this latter was realised using a more conventional catalyst, PdCl2(dppf)•CH2Cl2.A last part of the project aimed to the conception of catalysts made of palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in graphitised carbon nanofibres (nanoreactors). We prepared a series of nanoreactors and we studied the effect of the confinement inside the nanofibre channel on the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.

Les couplages croisés sont des réactions très étudiées et ont même fait l’objet d’un prix Nobel. Ces réactions consistent à coupler une espèce organométallique nucléophile avec une espèce électrophile et sont la meilleure façon de former une nouvelle liaison peu ou pas polarisée telle qu’une liaison C–C ou C–S. Cependant, leur mise en place emploie souvent des nucléophiles forts limitant ainsi leur sélectivité et leur tolérance. D’abord, les organosilanes sont des nucléophiles attrayants grâce à leur abondance, leur sélectivité, leur stabilité, leur tolérance aux groupements fonctionnels, leur faible toxicité, leur manipulation facile et leur faible coût. Toutefois, leur faible nucléophilie peut représenter un défi à surmonter lors de leur utilisation. Ensuite, pour une économie d’atome maximale, le dioxyde de carbone (CO₂) représente la meilleure source de carbone et de fonction ester ; et le dioxyde de soufre (SO₂), la meilleure source de soufre et de fonction sulfone. Dans ce manuscrit sont relatées plusieurs nouvelles réactions de couplage des organosilanes pour la synthèse directe d’esters à partir du CO₂ et de sulfones à partir du SO₂. Une étude théorique et expérimentale a été réalisée pour permettre la mise en place de la réaction de couplage du CO₂ avec un arylsilane et un halogénure d’alcane, catalysée par un complexe de cuivre(I). Les caractères plus nucléophile et plus électrophile du SO₂ ont été exploités pour son couplage, sans catalyseur, avec des arylsilanes et des halogénures d’alcanes et pour son couplage, pallado-catalysé, avec des allylsilanes et des halogénures d’aryles, communément appelé le couplage de Hiyama sulfonylant. / Cross coupling reactions are well studied reactions and their development was awarded a Nobel price. These reactions aim at coupling organometallic nucleophiles and electrophiles compounds and are the best way to form a little to none polarized bond such as C–C and C–S bond. They however make use of strong nucleophiles, decreasing their selectivity and tolerance. On one hand, among all available nucleophiles, organosilanes are very attractive because of their abundance, selectivity, stability and tolerance towards functional groups, they are also less toxic, easy to handle, and cheap. Their use though is a challenge because of their lower reactivity. On the other hand, for the sake of increasing the atom economy of a reaction, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the best source of carbon and ester functional group; and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is the best source of sulfur and sulfone functional group. In this manuscript, we herein report several coupling reactions between organosilanes giving a direct access to esters from CO₂ and to sulfones from SO₂. Experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out to develop a coupling reaction between arylsilanes, CO₂ and alkyl halides catalyzed by a copper(I) complex. SO₂ being more electrophilic and more nucleophilic, is used in a catalyzed less coupling reaction with arylsilanes and alkyl halides and in a coupling reaction with allylsilanes and aryl halides catalyzed by a palladium(II) complex, known as sulfonylating Hiyama coupling.

[pt] Derivados do núcleo 2,1,3-benzotiadiazola (BTD) são altamente emissivos e têm reconhecida aplicação em diversas áreas da tecnologia da luz (células solares sensibilizadas por corantes, sondas fluorescentes, dispositivos emissores tipo OLEDs, etc). Derivados de BTD substituídos com grupos estireno têm sido descritos como ótimas sondas fluorescentes para estudo de conformações de proteínas. Além disso, o grupo de pesquisa do LaSOQF tem produzido novos derivados de BTD luminescentes e buscado diferentes aplicações para os mesmos. Assim sendo, o objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver/otimizar a síntese de novos derivados de BTD estiril-substituídos. Nesse planejamento almejou a obtenção de compostos com intensa luminescência a partir da substituição de um grupo estiril por grupos 4-metóxifenil, 4-metoxifenóxi ou 2-bifenil, buscando acentuar o caráter de transferência de carga intramolecular (ICT) e, também, características de emissão aumentada induzida por agregação (AIEE). Para a obtenção dos compostos desejados, os derivados bromados de BTD foram submetidos a reações de Heck com o estireno. Dessa forma, as moléculas alvo foram obtidas com rendimentos entre 36 por cento e 87 por certo. Em seguida, a caracterização fotofísica dos fluoróforos foi realizada e foram obtidos máximos de absorção entre 404 e 450 nm e máximos de emissão entre 503 e 578 nm, indicando a alta estabilidade do estado excitado (delta lambda igual 90-121 nm). Os valores determinados de [fi]FL (0,31-0,69) confirmaram a alta emissividade dos compostos. Ademais, o composto 4-(4-metoxifenóxi)-7-estirilbenzo[c][1,2,5]tiadiazola apresentou características de AIEE. As novas moléculas desenvolvidas estão sendo aplicadas como sondas fluorescentes para a determinação de água em soluções etanólicas comerciais. / [en] The 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) core derivatives are highly emissive and with recognized application in several areas of light technology (dye-sensitized solar cells, fluorescent probes, emitters devices such as OLEDs, etc.). BTD derivatives substituted with styrene group have been described as excellent fluorescent probes for protein conformations study. In addition, the LaSOQF research group has been producing new luminescent BTD derivatives and proposed different applications for them. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop/optimize the synthesis of novel styryl-BTD derivatives. This design aimed at obtaining more luminescent compounds from the replacement of one of the styryl groups by 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenoxy or 2-biphenyl, seeking for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and also aggregated-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) characteristics. To obtain the desired compounds, brominated BTD derivatives were submitted to Heck reactions with styrene. Thus, the target fluorophores were obtained with yields ranging between 36 per cent and 87 per cent. Then, photophysical characterization of the fluorophores was carried out and absorption maxima between 404 and 450 nm and emission maxima between 503 and 578 nm were obtained, indicating the high stability of the excited state (delta lambda equal 90-121 nm). The determined values of [fi]FL (0.31-0.69) confirmed the high emissivity of the compounds. In addition, the compound 4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-7-styrylbenzo[c] [1,2,5]thiadiazole showed of AIEE properties. The novel molecules developed are being applied as fluorescent probes for determination of water in commercial ethanolic solutions.

A bifunctional imidazolium linker was used for the production of highly crosslinked element organic frameworks by Suzuki-coupling with tetrafunctional boronic acids.

Les résistances aux traitements actuels contre le cancer imposent de trouver de nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques. Une de ces cibles est le réseau vasculaire assurant un apport suffisant en nutriments et en oxygène à la tumeur, et permettant l’apparition de métastases. Détruire la vascularisation de la tumeur par l’utilisation d’agents antivasculaires (VDA)revient à l’asphyxier et à l’affamer, inhibant ainsi la prolifération des cellules tumorales et empêchant le processus métastatique. L’objectif de ce travail de thèse a été d’étudier des analogues contraints de l’isocombrétastatine A-4 (isoCA-4), une molécule phare du laboratoire, ayant un excellent pouvoir d’inhibition de la polymérisation de la tubuline et présentant une activité antivasculaire. Ces structures dont la double liaison est incluse dans différents types de cycles C,ont été étudiées également afin d’évaluer l’influence de l’angle dièdre formé par les noyaux A et B sur les activités biologiques des divers types de structures. Préalablement sélectionnés par modélisation moléculaire, ces analogues contraints sont de type 1-arylnaphtalène, 5-arylbenzoxépine ou 4-arylchromène et ont été préparés par des voies d’ accès originales développées dans le cadre de cette thèse. Parmi les composés synthétisés, l’analogue de type benzoxépine 3-53est aussi cytotoxique que l’isoCA-4 et possède un pouvoir d’inhibition de la polymérisation de la tubuline équivalent. Une évaluation plus poussée de son profil biologique, ainsi que celle des meilleurs représentants de chaque série chimique est actuellement en cours. / Most tumor cells rely on an efficient vascular supply for their survival, making the tumor vasculature an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy. This thesis aimed at the design and synthesis of constrained analogues of isocombretastatin A-4(isoCA-4), an antivascular agent developed in the laboratory, which exerts excellent cytotoxicities against a large panel ofcancer cell lines, and strongly inhibits tubulin polymerization. Conformationally restricted analogues of isoCA-4,featuring 1-arylnaphthalene, 5-arylbenzoxepine or 4-arylchromene skeletons were designed by computational studies andprepared by novel synthetic strategies. Of all synthesized compounds, benzoxepine analogue 3-53 strongly inhibits tubulinpolymerization and shows excellent cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines.

The homoaldol reaction is one of the most powerful methods for the construction of C–C bonds as well as 1,4-oxygenated compounds yet this reaction remains in challenging tasks due to the instability of homoenolates which spontaneously cyclize to the cyclopropanolate. A regioselective catalytic homoaldol equivalent reaction of 3-bromo vinyl acetate with aldehydes under Cr(III)-Mn(0) redox condition was developed. This homoaldol equivalent reaction allows access to the 1,4-oxygenated compounds that are not possible by a conventional aldol process. Mild hydrolysis of the vinyl acetate and reduction of the homoaldol adducts generated diols and lactols in high yield (99%). Further manipulation including stereoselective epoxidation and cyclopropanation was achieved in an efficient manner. Furans, found in many natural products and utilized in drug discovery, have been well studied but current synthetic methods toward furans have some limitations in functional group tolerance, substrate scope, and low product yield in many cases. A highly efficient and catalytic cycloisomerization reaction that transforms acetylenic α,β-epoxides to 2,3,5-tri-substituted furans under InCl3 catalysis was developed. This reaction sequence allows access to rapid construction of highly valuable, tri-substituted furan derivatives. Cross-coupling reactions utilizing transition metals and Lewis acids are important synthetic tools for the formation of C–C and C–N bonds and a number of cross-coupling reactions between α-bromo carbonyl compounds and metal reagents such as aryl metals, alkenyl metals, and alkyl metals have been reported. Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction for the construction of α-alkynyl carbonyl compounds has reported in a limited case. The first approach to secondary α-alkynyl carbonyl compounds from secondary α-bromo esters and amides with tributyl(phenylethynyl)stannane under palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction conditions was developed. This synthetic method allows access to secondary α-alkynyl carbonyl compounds which are valuable precursors in pharmaceuticals and agricultural applications.
