Chemists have always been fascinated by the cumulated diene system of allenes with its extraordinary properties such as the axial chirality of the elongated tetrahedron and a higher reactivity than non-cumulated C-C double bonds. The equilibrium geometry for an allene is linear with orthogonal pairs of substituents. An allene incorporated into a carbocyclic ring of nine or more carbon atoms is relatively unstrained. However, if the ring size is decreased, the linear perpendicular allene will be twisted and bent until, at some point, the energy gained by pi bonding in the two double bonds will be insufficient to offset the increased strain. Furthermore, ring constraints will exert torsion toward a planar arrangement of ligands. Therefore, one of the fundemantal questions is the influence of ring size on the barrier to pi bond rotation. Herein we wish to unveil a review of our research related to desperately seeking for five membered ring allenes such as, cyclopenta-1,2-diene (1) and some of its derivatives, e.g. 2, and 3. Furthermore, we will address a simple, mild and efficient method for the reduction of 1,4-benzoquinones 4 to corresponding hydroquinones 5.

Os compostos tricarbonilados vicinais representam um padrão estrutural de grande interesse sintético, pois são empregados na síntese de heterociclos e diversas moléculas com atividade biológica. A metodologia desenvolvida envolve três etapas que constituem na síntese do aduto de MBH e de duas oxidações subsequentes. A rota se mostrou rápida, simples e eficiente, com rendimentos globais variando entre 15-75%. Além da facilidade operacional essa estratégia é quimicamente sustentável já que apresenta um baixo nível de geração de resíduos químicos. Os núcleos ciclopenta[b]indólicos estão presentes na estrutura de diversos produtos naturais e moléculas bioativas, fato que se torna um estímulo para o desenvolvimento de novas rotas sintéticas. A estratégia baseia-se na oxidação do aduto de MBH seguida de adição de Michael utilizando indol. O produto gerado sofre redução e em seguida é ciclizado em meio ácido levando à obtenção do núcleo de interesse. A síntese se mostrou altamente diastereosseletiva e o mecanismo da etapa de ciclização foi investigado através de espectrometria de massas. Os compostos foram avaliados contra algumas linhagens de células tumorais exibindo atividade citótóxica promissora / Abstract: The synthetic potential of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts was exploited towards the development of a new strategy for the preparation of vicinal tricarbonyl compounds and cyclopenta [b] indole derivatives. The vicinal tricarbonyl compounds represent a structural pattern of great synthetic interest because they are employed in the synthesis of heterocycles and several biologically active compounds. The three steps methodology involves the the preparation of MBH adducts, followed by two subsequent oxidations. The route proved to be fast, simple and efficient, with overall yields ranging from 15 to 75%. This strategy is operationally ease and sustainable, since a low level of waste is generated. The nuclei cyclopenta [b]indoles are present in the structure of some natural products and bioactive compounds. This has stimulated efforts towards the development of new synthetic routes to prepare this heterocyclic pattern. Our strategy is based on the oxidation of MBH adduct followed by Michael addition using indole as nucleophile to provide a substituted b-ketoester. The keto carbonyl was reduced and the substituted b-hydroxyester was therefore cyclized in acid conditions leading the desired heterocycles. The synthesis was highly diastereoselectivity and mechanism of the cyclization step was monitored by mass spectrometry. The compounds were evaluated against some tumor cell lines exhibiting promising cytotoxic activity / Mestrado / Quimica Organica / Mestra em Química

?-Conjugated systems have been the focus of study in recent years in order to understand their charge transport and optical properties for use in organic electronic devices, fluorescence bioimaging, sensors, and 3D optical data storage (ODS), among others. As a result, several molecular building blocks have been designed, allowing new frontiers to be realized. While various successful building blocks have been fine-tuned at both the electronic and molecular structure level to provide advanced photophysical and optoelectronic characteristics, the azulene framework has been under-appreciated despite its unique electronic and optical properties. Among several attributes, azulenes are vibrant blue naturally occurring hydrocarbons that exhibit large dipolar character, coupled with stimuli-responsive behavior in acidic environments. Additionally, the non-toxic nature and the accompanying eco-friendly feature of some azulenes, namely guaiazulene, may set the stage to further explore a more "green" route towards photonic and conductive materials. The first part of this dissertation focuses on exploiting guaiazulene as a natural building block for the synthesis of chromophores with varying stimuli-responsiveness. Results described in Chapter 1 show that extending the conjugation of guaiazulene through its seven-membered ring methyl group with aromatic substituents dramatically impacts the optical properties of the guaiazulenium carbocation. Study of these ?–stabilized tropilium ions enabled establishing photophysical structure-property trends for guaiazulene-terminated ?-conjugated analogs under acidic conditions, including absorption, emission, quantum yield, and optical band gap patterns. These results were exploited in the design of a photosensitive polymeric system with potential application in the field of three dimensional (3D) optical data storage (ODS). Chapter 2 describes the use of guaiazulene reactive sites (C-3 and C-4 methyl group) to generate a series of cyclopenta[ef]heptalenes that exhibit strong stimuli-responsive behavior. The approach presents a versatile route that allows for various substrates to be incorporated into the resulting cyclopenta[ef]heptalenes, especially after optimization that led to devising a one-pot reaction toward such tricyclic systems. Examining the UV-vis absorption profiles in neutral and acidic media showed that the extension of conjugation at C(4) of the cyclopenta[ef]heptalene skeleton results in longer absorption maxima and smaller optical energy gaps. Additionally, it was concluded that these systems act as sensitizers of a UV-activated (< 300 nm) photoacid generator (PAG), via intermolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PeT), upon which the PAG undergoes photodecomposition resulting in the generation of acid. In a related study, the guaiazulene methyl group at C-4 was employed to study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of 4-styrylguaiazulenes, having the same ?–donor with varying ?-spacer. It was realized that the conjugation length correlates with the extent of bathochromic shift of the protonated species. On the other hand, a trend of decreasing quantum yield was established for this set of 4-styrylguaiazulenes, which can be explained by the increasingly higher degree of flexibility. The second part of this dissertation presents a comprehensive investigation of the linear photophysical, photochemical, and nonlinear optical properties of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based derivatives, including two-photon absorption (2PA), femtosecond transient absorption, stimulated emission spectroscopy, and superfluorescence phenomena. The synthetic feasibility, ease of modification, outstanding robustness, and attractive spectroscopic properties of DPPs have motivated their study for fluorescence microscopy applications, concluding that the prepared DPP's are potentially suitable chromophores for high resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy.

Esta tese descreve uma nova abordagem para a síntese de ciclopenta[g]indóis baseada na reação de contração de anel mediada por trinitrato de tálio (TTN) de uma olefina tricíclica, que contém uma unidade indólica. Foi possível encontrar condições reacionais em que o sal de tálio(III) mostrou-se quimiosseletivo, reagindo com a ligação dupla do anel cicloexênico, sem oxidar a ligação C2-C3 do anel indólico. Utilizando-se a reação acima, pôde-se alcançar a primeira síntese diastereosseletiva da (±)-trans-triquentrina A, que é um alcalóide indólico isolado de uma esponja marinha, em 20 etapas e com rendimento global de 2%. A etapa chave foi uma reação de contração de anel mediada por TTN em CH3CN com redução in situ promovida por NaBH4. Nestas condições o anel trans-1,3-dimetilciclopentânico da molécula alvo foi alcançado com excelente diastereosseletividade. Tentativas de hidrogenação assimétrica do (E)-etil-3-(1-benzil-4-etil-1H-indol-7-il)-but-2- enoato utilizando-se catalisadores de irído foram realizadas, visando a síntese da (+)-trans-triquentrina A. / This thesis presents a new approach toward the synthesis of cyclopenta[g]indoles using a ring contraction reaction mediated by thallium trinitrate (TTN) of a tricyclic olefin, bearing an indol unit. We could find reactional conditions where the thallium(III) salt was chemoselective, reacting on the cyclohexenic double bond without formation of C2-C3 indolic oxidation byproducts. Using the reaction above, we could accomplish the first diastereoselective total synthesis of (±)-trans-trikentrin A, which is an indolic alkaloid isolated from a marine sponge, in 20 steps and 2% of global yield. The key-step was a ring contraction reaction mediated by TTN in CH3CN with in situ reduction promoted by NaBH4. Under this condition the trans-1,3- dimethylcyclopentane moiety of the target molecule was achieved with good diastereoselectivity. The asymmetric hydrogenation of (E)-ethyl-3-(1-benzyl-4-ethyl-1H-indole-7-yl)-but-2- enoate was attempted using iridium catalysts were performed, aiming the synthesis of (+)-trans-trikentrin A.
