Ces travaux s’articulent autour de dérivés saccharidiques de type exo-glycals ou C-glycosides pour lesquels de nouvelles méthodologies synthétiques ainsi que des applications dans le domaine de la biologie ont été développées. Dans un premier temps, l’addition de nucléophiles soufrés et carbonés sur le carbone anomérique de différents exo-glycals activés a été réalisée, permettant un accès efficace à de nouveaux S-glycosides tertiaires ainsi qu’à des γ-glycoamino acides anomériques. Ces derniers ont été utilisés pour l’élaboration de peptides linéaires mixtes α/γ dont les propriétés de structuration ont ensuite été étudiées par RMN, IR, CD et modélisation moléculaire. De nouvelles plates-formes glycopeptidiques multifonctionnelles ont été préparées par cyclisation de ces peptides. Dans un second temps, le développement de peptidomimétiques ciblant le récepteur neuropiline-1, impliqué dans l’angiogenèse tumorale, a été entrepris. En s’appuyant sur des études de modélisation moléculaire, certains composés ont montré une bonne affinité pour le récepteur NRP-1 et l’un des composés a montré des propriétés prometteuses pour l’inhibition de la formation de tubules / This work is focused on the development of new synthetic pathways for exo-glycals functionalization and synthesis of bioactive compounds. The first part of this manuscript describes the efficient preparation of new tertiary S-glycosides and γ-glycoamino acids via Michael addition of thiols derivatives and carbanions on anomeric carbon of exo-glycals. The obtained γ-glycoamino acids were then incorporated in α/γ mixed peptides and their structural properties were studied by NMR, IR, CD and molecular modelling studies. Furthermore, cyclic multivalent platforms were built by intramolecular cyclization of these entities. The second part of the manuscript concerns the elaboration of peptidomimetics targeting neuropilin-1 receptor, implicated in tumor angiogenesis. Based on molecular modeling studies, some compounds showed interesting binding affinity for NRP-1 receptor and one of them displayed promising properties toward inhibition of tubule formation

La trypanosomiase humaine africaine, la maladie de Chagas et les leishmanioses sont des maladies parasitaires qui représentent un problème majeur de santé publique dans de nombreux pays et notamment ceux en voie de développement. Afin de trouver de nouveaux candidat-médicaments contre ces parasites, deux séries chimiques ont été étudiées : les diarylidèneacétones et les 2,6-diaryl-4H-tetrahydrothiopyranones.Précédemment initiée au laboratoire, l'étude approfondie de la série diarylidèneacétone a nécessité la mise au point et l'optimisation de protocoles. Une nouvelle méthodologie de synthèse des (hétéro)diarylidèneacétones dissymétriques par palladocatalyse a ainsi été développée en collaboration avec le Pr. T. J. Müller (Université de Düsseldorf). En dépit d'excellentes activités antiparasitaires, la plupart des diarylidèneacétones synthétisées se sont révélées trop toxiques sur les cellules humaines.Les 2,6-diaryl-4H-tétrahydrothiopyranones et leurs S-oxydes ont été conçues pour résoudre ce problème de toxicité. Agissant comme prodrogues, ces molécules sont susceptibles de régénérer les diarylidèneacétones parentes par β-élimination du groupement soufré intracyclique. Peu décrite dans la littérature, la synthèse diastéréosélective de ces structures a été intégralement mise au point et généralisée à de nombreuses substitutions. Les résultats obtenus prouvent que la toxicité des produits a été grandement diminuée tout en maintenant une activité antiparasitaire importante, ce qui valide l'approche de la stratégie prodrogue. / Human African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are parasitic diseases that significantly affect the populations and thus the economy of many developing countries. With the aim of developing new therapeutic agents to cure these diseases, we focused our research on two series: the diarylideneacetone and the 2,6-diaryl-4H-tetrahydrothiopyranone series.To complete and expend preliminary results that had been previously obtained in our laboratory, a generalization and an optimization of the protocols was intended. Thus, a novel Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of (hetero)dissymmetric diarylideneacetones was developed and optimized in collaboration with Prof. T. J. Müller (University of Düsseldorf). In spite of excellent antiparasitic activities, most of the diarylideneacetones were toxic toward human cells.2,6-Diaryl 4H-tetrahydrothiopyranones and their related S-oxides were designed to cope with major toxicity issues. Acting as prodrugs, these molecules are prone to undergo β-elimination of the sulfurated intracyclic group, regenerating the parent diarylideneacetone. The diastereoselective synthesis of this scaffold is not extensively described in the literature. Consequently, novel diastereoselective methodologies have been developed and generalized to a wide panel of substitution patterns. Results of the biological assays demonstrated that sulfide and S-oxide prodrugs displayed a lowered toxicity while the potency was maintained, thus confirming the validity of the prodrug strategy.

Para a síntese de um dos quatro possíveis estereoisômeros do ácido 3-(4- clorofenil)piroglutâmico, precursor da forma mais ativa do fármaco Baclofen, foram investigadas duas metodologias alternativas, cujas etapas principais eram, respectivamente, (i) a reação de Michael entre o N-acetamidomalonato de dietila ou de dibenzila com o 4-clorotiocinamato de metila ou fenila, na ausência de solvente e na presença de catalisadores de transferência de fase enantioméricamente puros, e (ii) a reação de Michael entre complexos de níquel (quirais ou aquirais), derivados da glicina, com a (5S)-N-(E-4-clorocinamoil)-5-metoxicarbonil-2-pirrolidinona. A primeira destas metodologias não conduziu a bons resultados, mas a investigação das causas da baixa estereosseletividade, observada para reações empregando tanto tiolésteres como chalcona, permitiu a proposição de um novo modelo de interação catalisador/doador/aceptor, em que o doador é o N-acetamidomalonato de dibenzila e o aceptor é a chalcona. Quanto às adições de Michael dos complexos de níquel, empregados como equivalentes nucleofílicos da glicina, as reações foram bem sucedidas. O par aceptor/doador que se mostrou mais adequado foi aquele composto pelo complexo de níquel, derivado da (L)-prolina, e pela (5S)-N-(E-4- clorocinamoil)-5-metoxicarbonil-2-pirrolidinona. Neste caso, o ácido (2R,3S)-3-(4- clorofenil)piroglutâmico foi obtido em rendimento global de 46%. Este resultado permite prever que, pelo emprego do mesmo aceptor, mas de estereoquímica absoluta contrária, é possível preparar o precursor do (R)- baclofen, que é o enantiômero mais ativo do fármaco em questão. / Two alternative methodologies were investigated aiming the synthesis of one of the four stereoisomers of the 3-(4-chlorophenyl)pyroglutamic acid, as a precursor of Baclofen, a drug used for the treatment of some neurological diseases. The key step for the first one was the asymmetric Michael addition of diethyl or dibenzil N- acetamidomalonate to methyl or phenyl 4-chlorotiocinnamate, in the absence of solvent, and employing enatiomerically pure phase transfer catalysts. A low degree of enantioselectivity was observed for all addition reactions of dibenzil N- acetamidomalonate to tiolesters or chalcone as Michael acceptors. The investigation of the origin of such lack of stereoselectivity allowed the proposal of a model for the diastereomeric transition states of the Michael addition of dibenzil N- acetamidomalonate to chalcone. As for the second synthetic methodology, the asymmetry generating step would be the Michael addition of glycine derived chiral or achiral nickel complexes to (5S)-N-(E-4-clorocinnamoil)-5-methoxycarbonyl-2- pirrolidinone. Best results were obtained for the Michael addition of a nickel complex, bearing (S)-2-[N-(N\'-benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone as ligand , to (5S)-N-(E-4- clorocinnamoil)-5-methoxycarbonyl-2-pirrolidinone.Such reaction afforded the expected (S)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)pyroglutamic acid, in 46% yield. Such result can be extrapolated to the synthesis of the (R)-configured analog, precursor of the more active stereoisomer of Baclofen.

A metodologia consistiu no emprego de um organocatalisador, no caso (+/-)ACS, que em apenas 7 mol% conduziu aos produtos de Michael em bons rendimentos (até 80%) e em alto controle da régio- e diastereosseletividade (apenas aduto de adição 1,4 e com rd > 20:1). Vários derivados azalactônicos e diversas enonas toleraram as condições dereação otimizadas, como por exemplo, azalactona contendo grupo volumoso forneceu o aduto de Michael em perfeito controle da estereoquímica relativa. Um ciclo catalítico para esta transformação foi proposto onde um intermediário par iônico seria responsável pela transferência de quiralidade, justificando aestereoquímica observada na etapa de formação de ligação C-C. Ressaltamos que a estereoquímica relativa foi determinada de forma inequívoca por cristalografia de raiosX. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho, pelo nosso conhecimento, consistem noprimeiro exemplo onde um ácido de Brønsted catalisa uma reação de dessimetrizaçãoaltamente régio- e diastereosseletiva entre um derivado azalactônico e DBA. Ainda, além da formação de uma nova ligação σ C-C, dois centros estereogênicos estão sendo gerados e controlados, sendo um deles um centro não hidrogenado. / In this work the diastereoseletive synthesis of Michael adducts from azlactones andenones catalyzed by a Brønsted acid is presented. By using only 7 mol% of an organocatalyst, (+/-)-CSA, the corresponding Michael adducts were obtained in good yields (with up to 80%) and with high control of both regio- and diastereoselectivity (only 1,4 addition product was detected and with > 20:1 dr). Various azlactones and enones were well tolerated. For example, a steric bulk azlactone derivative gave the corresponding Michael adduct in perfect control of the relative stereochemistry. Based on the observed stereochemistry, a catalytic cycle for this transformationwas then proposed, in which an ion-pairing intermediate would be responsible for the chirality transfer in the new C-C bond formation. It is important mention that the relative stereochemistry was unambiguous determined by X-ray crystallography. To the best of our knowledge this constitutes the first reported diastereoselective dessymetrization of DBA with azlactones catalyzed by a Brønsted acid. Besides the new C-C bond formation, two consecutive stereogenic centers are created, one of them a quaternary center.

Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons rapporté que la combinaison unique de l'hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), utilisé comme solvant, et des conditions hyperbares (10-15 kbar) permet une addition sans précédent de nucléophiles-1,4 pauvres, comme les amines aromatiques, sur des récepteurs Michael encombrés, sans promoteur externe. De plus, l'addition d'hétéro-Michael d'anilines fonctionnellement substituées sur des esters insaturés-α,β est définie par la différence d'acidité entre le solvant et l'amine. La réaction avec des anilines plus basiques se déroule facilement dans le méthanol. En revanche, les solvants protiques très polaires comme les alcools fluorés (HFIP et TFE) favorisent l'addition d'aza-Michael de nucléophiles plus faibles. Enfin, une méthode verte et sans catalyseur de construction de nouveaux dérivés d'acides aminés contenant des fragments d'adamantane et d'aziridine a été développée. Et il est prouvé que la réaction d'aza-Michael initie la formation de l’hétérocycle. / Along this PhD work, we have reported that the unique combination of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), employed as solvent, and hyperbaric conditions (10-15 kbar) allows unprecedented 1,4-addition of poor nucleophiles such as aromatic amines onto sluggish (cumbersome) Michael acceptors without any promoter nor work-up. Moreover, The hetero-Michael addition of functionally substituted anilines to α,β-unsaturated esters is significantly defined by the difference of acidity between the solvent and the amine. Reaction with more basic anilines proceeds smoothly in methanol. In contrast, very polar protic solvent such as fluorinated alcohols (HFIP and TFE) favor the aza-Michael addition of more weak nucleophiles. Finally, green and catalyst-free method of new amino acid derivatives construction containing adamantane and aziridine fragments was developed. And it is proved that aza-Michael reaction initiates the formation of heterocycle.

La découverte des activités cytotoxiques impressionnantes des subérosanes, des sesquiterpènes d’origine marine isolées dès 1996 de la gorgone Subergorgia suberosa, ainsi que leurs structures tricycliques complexes possédant jusqu’à cinq centre stéréogènes contigus dont un centre quaternaire central, ont fait de ces molécules des cibles de choix tant pour les acteurs de la chimie médicinale que pour ceux travaillant dans le domaine de la synthèse totale. Enfin, une molécule d’origine synthétique « simplifiée » de cette famille, la nor-subérosénone, a également montré des activités cytotoxiques remarquables. Les quantités disponibles de ces produits d’intérêt pharmacologique étant infimes dans le milieu marin, notre équipe s’est intéressée précédemment à la synthèse et à l’évaluation biologique de plusieurs représentants de cette famille de produits naturels et de leurs antipodes permettant de décrire leurs configurations absolues ainsi qu’aux nor-subérosénone et nor-subérosanone d’origine synthétique. L’étape clef de ces synthèses faisant appel à une réaction de Michael asymétrique utilisant un inducteur chiral stœchiométrique peu onéreux et disponible sous ses deux formes antipodales a permis d’obtenir pour la première fois, en version énantiosélective, plusieurs représentants de cette famille de façon concise. Nous décrivons dans ce manuscrit comment nous sommes passés d’une telle réaction de Michael « stœchiométrique » à un processus organocatalysé asymétrique impliquant un système catalytique qui après développement s’est montré efficace et peu coûteux permettant de réduire encore le nombre d’étapes de ces synthèses et d'accroitre l'économie d'atomes, vers une chimie plus respectueuse de l’environnement. Les améliorations apportées aux synthèses précédemment réalisées au sein de notre équipe, et notamment à une cyclisation originale catalysée au triflate d’argent, ont permis de réaliser les synthèses par la voie « stœchiométrique » de nor-subérosanes avec une grande efficacité. La (+)-nor-subérosénone a été obtenue en vingt étapes et 19.29% de rendement global (vs dix-neuf étapes et 4.65% de rendement global précédemment) et la (±)-nor-subérosanone en dix-neuf étapes et 25.06% de rendement global (vs dix-huit étapes et 8.85% de rendement global précédemment). Le succès de la voie organocatalysée a enfin permis de synthétiser la (+)-nor-subérosénone en dix-huit étapes et 19.76% de rendement global (vs dix-neuf étapes et 4.65% de rendement global). Nous avons enfin ouvert la voie à la synthèse potentielle d’épimères des subérosanes via une mise au point de l’addition organocatalysée de Michael de cétone cycliques alpha-méthylées sur les maleimides. Divers maléimides se sont avérés être des électrophiles appropriés dans ce processus, délivrant principalement les adduits attendus portant la stéréodiade centre quaternaire-centre tertiaire adjacents avec des rendements modérés à excellents (39 à 94%) et des énantiosélectivités bonnes à excellentes (75 à 99% ee) dans des conditions réactionnelles faisant intervenir l’activation par les micro-ondes. Des conditions réactionnelles ont été optimisées pour réduire au maximum les diastéréomères et les régioisomères correspondants ainsi que les produits secondaires d’aza-Michael. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le domaine plus vaste et très compétitif de la formation organocatalysée énantiosélective, en une seule étape, d’enchaînement de centre stéréogènes carbonés quaternaire et tertiaire. / The discovery of the impressive cytotoxic activities of the subterranean, sesquiterpenes of marine origin isolated in 1996 from the gorgon Subergorgia suberosa, as well as their complex tricyclic structures with up to five contiguous stereogenic centers including a central quaternary center, made these molecules choice targets for both those involved in medicinal chemistry and those working in the field of total synthesis. Finally, a molecule of "simplified" synthetic origin of this family, nor-suzerenone, has also shown remarkable cytotoxic activities. As the quantities available for these products of pharmacological interest are minimal in the marine environment, our team was interested previously in the synthesis and the biological evaluation of several representatives of this family of natural products and their antipodes allowing to describe their absolute configurations as well as nor-suzerenone and nor-suerosanone of synthetic origin. The key step in these syntheses, using an asymmetric Michael reaction using a low-cost stoichiometric chiral inducer available in its two antipodal forms, made it possible to obtain for the first time, in enantioselective version, several representatives of this family in a way that concisely. We describe in this manuscript how we went from such a "stoichiometric" Michael reaction to an asymmetric organocatalytic process involving a catalytic system that after development proved effective and inexpensive enough to further reduce the number of stages of these syntheses and to increase the economy of atoms, towards a chemistry more respectful of the environment. The improvements made to syntheses previously carried out within our team, and in particular to an original cyclization catalyzed with silver triflate, made it possible to synthesize by the "stoichiometric" way of nor-subterraneans with a great efficiency. (+) - nor-suzerenone was obtained in twenty steps and 19.29% overall yield (vs nineteen stages and 4.65% overall yield previously) and the (±) -nor-suerosanone in nineteen stages and 25.06 % overall return (vs eighteen steps and 8.85% overall return previously). The success of the organocatalyzed route eventually allowed to synthesize (+)-nor-suberosenone in eighteen stages and 19.76% overall yield (vs nineteen stages and 4.65% overall yield). Finally, we have opened the way for the potential synthesis of epimers of suberosanes via a development of organocatalyzed Michael addition reaction of alpha-methylated cyclic ketones to maleimides. Various maleimides have been shown to be suitable electrophiles in this process, mainly delivering the expected adducts carrying the adjacent tertiary center-tertiary center stereodiade in moderate to excellent yields (39 to 94%) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (75 to 99% ee) under reaction conditions involving activation by microwaves. Reaction conditions were optimized to minimize corresponding diastereomers and regioisomers as well as aza-Michael by-products. This work is part of the larger and highly competitive field of one-step enantioselective organocatalyst formation of quaternary and tertiary carbon-based stereogenic centers.

A frequent news feature today deals with gang crime. The problem of gang crime has emerged as one of the biggest societal challenges to deal with in modern times. News reporting can many times be received by the recipient casually without questioning the content of what is presented. The purpose of this study is to study how gang crime and the areas associated with it are presented in the newspaper media, as well as what effects this may have for residents in the areas that are often associated with gang crime. In this study, the newspaper media will be represented by Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. The research questions answered in the study are "How is gang crime presented in Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet?" and "How are identities for areas and residents reproduced through this representation?". In order to answer the questions, discourse analysis has been used as a method for the study's approach. Discourse analysis has also been used as a theoretical approach together with the concepts of stigma and stereotypes. The study is based on Michael Foucault's (1993) view of discourse analysis.A majority of the newspaper articles that write about the phenomenon of gang crime showed a strong connection between drug trafficking, violence and shootings, as well as the relationship between gang crime and socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Power is expressed in several different ways, in this study the portrayal of gang crime in the media has contributed to a stereotypical image of gang criminals and gang crime that spreads like rings on the water to others around who look or talk a certain way, or live in a certain area. The results of the study show that stigmatization of criminals and crime contributes to people of a certain ethnicity, gender and age who come from socio-economically vulnerable areas often being associated with gang criminals and gang crime. This is done through the mass media's creation and recreation of stereotypical images that come with news reporting which the majority of people accept without question.

Perhaps no one has had more influence on the role of political documentary in the contemporary public sphere than filmmaker Michael Moore. His unique melding of committed political arguments with an ironic reflexive style have changed the very look and feel of documentary film, contributing significantly to the form's newfound popularity. Furthermore, his steadfast commitment to progressive politics has given the issue of socioeconomic "class" the kind of attention it rarely receives within the mainstream media. However, Moore's films have also been the recipient of viscous attacks from his political opponents, and subject to some of the most contentious public debates over the documentary form since the 1960s. This study integrates documentary theory and poststructuralist discourse analysis within a critical/cultural studies perspective to map out the ways in which generic conventions, interpretive strategies and rhetorical maneuvers have often combined to undermine the political goals and cultural legitimacy of Michael Moore and his films. First, I look at the ways in which Moore's own deployment of a patronizing mode of address transforms his films into "fantasies of advocacy"; narratives that invite an imagined audience of fellow advocates to evaluate and judge the lives and behaviors of the working-class subjects depicted on-screen. Such a depiction only works to strengthen middle-class forms of social authority which have worked, historically, to encourage class resentment. Second, I describe the ways in which Moore is also undermined by a mass media system within which progressive views are not often welcome. I explain how a number of discursive logics worked to frame Moore at various times throughout his career as an untrustworthy documentarian pushing Leftist propaganda, as an "indie film auteur" providing innovative cinematic experiences to middle-class audiences, and as a savvy celebrity-huckster selling political entertainment to embattled liberals. Finally, I describe how Moore's opponents on the political Right exploited the problematic aspects of both his rhetorical strategies and public reception to paint Moore as a "Liberal Elitist," a move that worked to derail the political effectiveness of Fahrenheit 9/11 during the 2004 election. By describing the complex, public articulations of Michael Moore and his films, this study contributes to the fields of documentary studies, media studies, cultural studies and political rhetoric.
