Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Synthese, dem Reaktionsverhalten und der Elektrochemie von Bimetallocen- und Metallocen-haltigen Komplexen. Die Eignung von Bis(ethinyl)biferrocen- und Bis(ethinyl)biruthenocen-haltigen Brückenbausteinen, intramolekularen Elektronentransfer zwischen zwei identischen Eisen-, Ruthenium- und Osmium-Halbsandwich-Fragmenten zuzulassen, wurde mittels geeigneter Spektroskopiearten untersucht. Weiterhin wurden zwei verschiedene Übergangsmetallkomplexfragmente über den Bis(ethinyl)biferrocen-Brückenbaustein miteinander verknüpft um neuartige gemischte Übergangsmetallacetylide zu erhalten, an welchen ebenfalls Elektronentransferstudien durchgeführt werden konnten. Zusätzlich waren Biferrocenyl- und Metallocenyl-Phosphane Gegenstand der Untersuchungen. Es erfolgte einerseits die Koordination an PtCl2- und Pt(CCFc)2-Fragmente. Die so erhaltenen neuen heterometallischen Platin(II)-Bisacetylide wurden mittels Cyclovoltammetrie und UV-Vis-NIR-spektroelektrochemischen Methoden untersucht um herauszufinden, in welchem Ausmaß Ladungen delokalisiert vorliegen können. Die Biferrocenyl- und Ruthenocenyl-Phosphane wurden andererseits an PdCl2-Bausteine koordiniert und im Anschluss auf ihre Wirksamkeit als (Prä-)Katalysatoren in Palladium-vermittelten Heck- und Suzuki-C-C-Kupplungsreaktionen getestet.

The previously described 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines were prepared following literature procedure and in turn converted to the corresponding hitherto unknown 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinoline derivatives using aniline in refluxing ethanol. These 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines were reacted with allybromide in ethanol at room temperature to afford 4-(N,N-allylphenylamino)-2-aryl-3-iodoquinoline derivatives. The 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinoline and 4-(N,N-allylphenylamino)-2-aryl-3-iodoquinoline derivatives were subjected to metal-catalysed carbon-carbon bond formations. Palladium(0)-copper iodide catalysed Sonogashira cross-coupling of 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinoline with terminal alkynes afforded series of 1,2,4-trisubstituted 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines in a single step operation. On the other hand, the 4-(N,N-allylphenylamino)-2-aryl-3-iodoquinoline derivatives were found to undergo palladium-catalysed intramolecular Heck reaction to yield the corresponding 1,3,4-trisubstituted 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines. All new compounds were characterized by using a combination of NMR (1H and 13C), IR, mass spectroscopic techniques as well as elemental analysis. / Chemistry / MSc. (Chemistry)

Au cours de ces dernières années, les sesquiterpénoïdes de type eudesmane et leurs activités biologiques font l'objet de nombreuses études phytochimiques et pharmacologiques, ainsi que des recherches de voies de synthèse et d'hémisynthèse. Pour notre part, nous nous sommes intéressés à la synthèse des analogues de types eudesmanes par fonctionnalisation des constituants majoritaires de Dittrichia Viscosa. Dans le premier chapitre, nous avons donné un rappel bibliographique sur l’aspect botanique de Dittrichia Viscosa, ainsi qu’une description phytochimique qui montre que cette plante renferme différents constituants : terpénödes, flavonoïdes, phénylpropanoïdes et polycétides présentant des propriétés pharmacologiques variés. Dans le deuxième chapitre, et après un rappel bibliographique sur les différents types d’eudesmane et l’extraction et la purification des produits majoritaires de Dittrichia Viscosa (l'acide α-costique, l'acide ilicique et la tomentosine), nous avons réalisé l’étude des réarrangements des époxy-eudesmanes par catalyse acide et la synthèse de l'aldéhyde α-costal et ses analogues. Nous avons aussi mise au point des conditions réactionnelles de fonctionnalisation de la double liaison C11-C13 par couplage de Heck permettant l’accès à des librairies d'eudesmanes arylés en position 13. En fin, le dernier chapitre est consacré à l’étude de la réactivité de la tomentosine vis-à-vis des additions nucléophiles (type Addition de Michael) et des additions 1,3 dipolaire (des nitrones et des oxydes de nitrile) sur la double liaison conjuguée exo-cyclique. / In recent years, the sesquiterpenoids eudesmane type and their biological activities are subject to numerous phytochemical and pharmacological studies and research of synthetic and semisynthetic routes. For our part, we are interested in the synthesis of similar types of eudesmanes by functionalization of the major constituents of Dittrichia Viscosa. In the first part we gave a bibliographical recall on the botanical aspect of Dittrichia Viscosa and a phytochemical description shows that this plant contains various constituents: terpénödes, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and polyketides with various pharmacological properties. In the second part, and after giving a bibliographical recall of the different types of eudesmane and extraction and purification of major products of Dittrichia Viscosa (α-costique acid, ilicique acid and tomentosin), we realized the study of epoxy eudesmanes rearrangements by acid catalysis and the synthesis of α-costal aldehyde and its analogues. We also focus on the reaction conditions for functionalization of C11-C13 dual link Heck coupling allowing access to libraries eudesmanes aryl in position 13. In the last part, we are interested to the study of the reactivity of the tomentosin with nucleophilic additions (type Michael Addition) and 1,3-dipolar additions (nitrones and nitrile oxides) on the double link exo-cyclic combined.

Récemment, les liquides ioniques ont attiré l'attention de la communauté scientifique de la catalyse homogène en tant que solvants répondant aux principes de la chimie verte. De par leur nature chargée, ces phases ioniques sont idéales pour des réactions biphasiques avec des substrats organiques et permettent une récupération facile du catalyseur. Leur caractère ionique leur confère une organisation spatiale à l'échelle nanométrique permettant des phénomènes de solvatations particuliers et une réactivité spécifique. Néanmoins, ces solvants continuent à être onéreux et les supporter peut permettre à la fois de réduire de façon significative les quantités utilisées et de récupérer facilement le catalyseur immobilisé dans la phase liquide ionique. Jusqu'à présent, la catalyse supportée sur liquides ioniques a mis en jeu des supports oxydes mésoporeux classiques comme la silice. Au cours de cette thèse, une étude comparative entre ces types de supports et des nanotubes de carbone multiparois a été réalisée pour différentes réactions catalytiques. Les nanotubes de carbone présentent une macrostructure très ouverte avec une mésoporosité importante. Ainsi, la limitation par transfert de masse dans la porosité du support est diminuée et la cinétique de la réaction, augmentée. Une première étape de fonctionnalisation des nanotubes de carbone a permis d'améliorer la compatibilité avec la phase liquide ionique. L'immobilisation stabilise le catalyseur (complexe métallique [Rh(nbd)(PPh3)2][PF6] ou nanoparticules de palladium) dans la phase liquide ionique après formation d'un film autour des nanotubes. Les systèmes catalytiques supportés ont été utilisés pour différentes réactions tests : l'hydrogénation, le couplage C-C de Heck et la réaction séquentielle Heck/hydrogénation. Des composites supports oxydes (SiO2 ou Al2O3)/liquide ionique ont été préparés afin d'étudier les interactions spécifiques liquide ionique-surface et les comparer avec le liquide ionique pur. / As catalytic support, carbon nanotubes present an open macrostructure with large mesoporosity which avoids mass transfer limitations. Ionic Liquids (ILs) have received much attention in the past years due to their importance in a broad range of applications. In catalysis, they are used to immobilize the catalyst in biphasic reactions and enable an easy separation. Their ionic character confers to these media a special organization of several nanometers that induces solvation phenomena and specific reactivity that can be linked either to confinement effects in the organized structure or to molecular interactions. However, these solvents remain expensive and the fact to support them onto carbon nanotubes as a thin film should permit to reduce significantly the volumes used. In this PhD thesis in order to prepare carbon nanotubes-IL hybrid materials, multi-walled carbon nanotubes were covalently modified with imidazolium salt-based moieties. This functionalization allowed specific interactions between the IL thin film and the chemical moieties on the MWCNTs surface. Then, the catalyst (rhodium complex or palladium nanoparticles) was immobilized into the IL thin film. The catalytic performances have been evaluated in bench reactions: hydrogenation of 1-hexene for rhodium, and selective hydrogenation, Heck, and sequential Heck/hydrogentation process for palladium. Finally, a comparative study has been performed between carbon nanotubes and other classical mesoporous oxide supports, including silica. The carbon nanotubes based catalyst present better performances than their counterparts prepared on conventional supports. Additionally, composites based on SiO2/IL or Al2O3/IL were prepared to carry out a structural study with the aim of understanding their specific surface interactions and compare them to pure ionic liquid.

Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Synthese, der Charakterisierung und der Anwendung neuartiger Phosphane in homogenkatalytischen Reaktionen. Dabei wurden die Ferrocenyl- und Ferrocenylethinylphosphan-Palladium und Ferrocenylethinylphosphan-Ruthenium Komplexe in der Palladium-vermittelten Mizoroki-Heck- und Suzuki-Miyaura-Reaktion sowie der Ruthenium-katalysierten Synthese von β-Oxopropylestern verwendet. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei auf der Untersuchung des Einflusses der elektronischen und räumlichen Eigenschaften der Phosphanliganden auf die Aktivität und Produktivität der entsprechenden Katalysatoren in den homogenkatalytischen Reaktionen. Weiterhin beschäftigt sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der Synthese und Charakterisierung von funktionalisierten (Phosphino)Imidazol und (Phosphino)Imidazolium Salzen und deren Anwendung in der Suzuki-Miyaura-Reaktion. Dabei wurde neben der Untersuchung des Einflusses der Position der Phosphanylgruppe und der unterschiedlichen Substituenten ebenfalls die Auswirkung von elektronenziehenden und -schiebenden Gruppen am Phosphanrest untersucht. Die neutralen Mono- und Diphosphane wurden außerdem in der Kreuzkupplung von Arylhalogeniden und in der Synthese räumlich anspruchsvoller Biaryle verwendet. Des Weiteren wurden die (Phosphino)Imidazolium-Salze als Liganden in der Suzuki-Miyaura-Reaktion in ionischen Flüssigkeiten als Reaktionsmedium angewendet, um die Möglichkeit des Recyclings der Katalysatorphase zu untersuchen.:Table of Contents Bibliographische Beschreibung und Referat ii Präambel iii Table of Contents 1 List of Abbreviations 5 A Introduction 9 1 Homogeneous Catalysis 9 2

Palladium complexes have the ability to catalyse cross-coupling of two organic moieties through the formation of transient metal-carbon bonds, thus bringing them closer to each other to facilitate the formation of a new bond. Palladium-catalysed coupling reactions are one of the most important carbon-carbon forming reactions available to organic chemists and many of these reactions rely on the reactivity of aryl-palladium complexes. The investigation of new aryl-palladium precursors is thus of great interest, especially as more sustainable and economic methods can be developed. This thesis describes the use of carboxylic acids and sodium arylsulfinates as such new arylating agents. Protocols for microwave-assisted palladium(II)-catalysed decarboxylative synthesis of electron-rich styrenes and 1,1-diarylethenes were developed. However, these transformations had very limited substrate scopes which prompted the investigation of sodium arylsulfinates as alternative arylating agents. These substrates were employed in the microwave-assisted palladium(II)-catalysed desulfitative addition to nitriles, and the substrate scope was demonstrated by combining a wide array of sodium arylsulfinates and nitriles to yield the corresponding aryl ketones. The application of the desulfitative reaction in a continuous flow setup was demonstrated, and aluminium oxide was identified as safe alternative to borosilicate glass as a reactor material. The mechanisms of the decarboxylative and desulfitative transformations were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The desulfitative reaction was also investigated by direct electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), providing further mechanistic insight. Finally, a protocol for the safe and convenient synthesis of a wide range of sodium arylsulfinates was developed.
