Full textThis thesis work is dealing with the discovery of new strategies for the C-H activation/functionalization of terpenes, with particular emphasis on (+)-limonene and palladium catalysis. Firstly, we described the dehydrogenative Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-H coupling between limonene and electron-poor alkenes, with extension to various terpenes and terpenoids. Therefore, we studied the post-functionalization of one product stemming from the dehydrogenative coupling and ethynylbenzene under micellar regime. Secondly, we successfully developed the Pd(II)-catalyzed redox neutral C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-X coupling between (+)-limonene and bromoalkenes. This strategy, which is complementary with respect to the dehydrogenative coupling, needs a lower loading of the palladium catalyst and of the silver salt with respect to the previously studied coupling. Finally, we investigated the study of new approaches to cannabidiol (CBD). Of course, future work will be necessary to evaluate the strategies and reach the target

Full textLabeling of (bio)molecules with radioactive isotopes is of high interest to for the scientific commu-nity, as it strongly impacts the discovery process in life science and nuclear medicine. Radiolabeled molecules have been extensively used to assess biochemical reactions, to measure in vivo distribution of a substance or to preform RIA (RadioImmunoAssay). In nuclear medicine, radio-therapeutics for RIT (RadioIsotope Therapy) and radio-tracers for molecular imaging experiments such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) or scintigraphy have been described. Several useful isotopes of iodine can be used for both diagnosis and therapy: 123I for SPECT imaging, 124I for PET imaging, 125I for biological assays and 131I for radio-therapy and scintig-raphy.Classical methods of radioiodination methods use a prefunctionalized precursor, which must be syn-thesized, isolated and purified before being introduced to the radio-iodination step. The radioiodode-stannylation method is the most popular method, although stannylated precursors are known for their difficult synthesis and their toxicity. The development of new methods of radioiodination is therefore of great interest in the field of radiochemistry.Based on a previous work, our group has developed a method to radio-iodinate N-acylsulfonamides through a room temperature palladium mediated C-H radio-iodination. This original strategy allows radiolabeling of biomolecules in very mild conditions without the use of chemical precursors.Based on literature, our group is now developping a new method to radio-iodinate arylsilyl derivates through radioiododesilylation in mild conditions. This general methodology allows for the moment the radiolabeling of activated arylsilyl derivates in mild conditions

Full textDeuterated and tritiated compounds are widely used in numerous applications in chemistry, biology and material science. In the drug discovery and development process, ADME studies require quick access to labelled molecules, otherwise the drug development costs and timeline are significantly impacted. The rapid development of metabolomics has also increased the need for isotopically labelled compounds. In particular, deuterated molecules are used as internal standards for quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis of metabolites in biological fluids and tissues. In this context, a general method allowing the deuterium and tritium labelling of bioactive thioethers using a HIE reaction is described in the first chapter. From a fundamental point of view, this transformation is the first example of (Csp³)-H activation directed by a sulfur atom. In terms of application, this new reaction has been proved to be useful for the preparation of deuterated LC-MS/MS reference materials and tritiated pharmaceuticals owning high specific activity.In the second chapter of this manuscript, the development of a method allowing the cross-dehydrogenative homocoupling of 2-arylpyridines catalyzed by Ru/C is developed. Various substrates with different substituents were efficiently coupled to give the desired dimers in good yield. In terms of application, a series of pyridine-boron complexes derived from the phenyl pyridine dimers were also synthesized and their photophysical properties were studied.In the third chapter, a regioselective palladium catalyzed intramolecular arylation reaction allowing the synthesis of pyridine containing polycyclic compounds is described

Full textHydrogen isotopes labelled compounds possess a broad range of application in the early pre-clinical phases of drug development process. For instance, deuterated compounds are applied as internal standard in quantitative LC-MS techniques while tritiated molecules are often the preferred radioactive tracers for the study of molecular absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). After a brief introduction, a first chapter will discuss the development of a mild and selective method to perform late stage labelling of variously functionalized nucleobases and drug analogues catalyzed by ruthenium nanoparticles. By changing the ligand which stabilizes the nanocatalyst, we achieved challenging isotopic exchanges such as tritiations of pharmaceuticals using subatmospheric pressure of tritium gas and deuteration of sensible oligonucleotides. The next chapter will describe the modification of commercially available ruthenium nanocatalysts via the coordination of N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The modification granted enhanced regio and chemoselectivity for the deuteration of aliphatic alcohols. Some of the modified ruthenium catalysts allowed the hydrogen/deuterium exchange on easily reducible compounds which were not obtainable using the unmodified commercial catalyst. The final chapter will discuss the synthesis and the evaluation of the catalytic activity of iridium nanoparticles. The latter, showed an interesting reactivity for the labelling of challenging substrates. In some of the investigated compounds, IrNps were able to introduce deuterium with unusual regioselectivities compared to already described hydrogen isotope exchange reactions

Full textThe direct functionalization of inert CH bonds has emerged over the past two decades as an increasingly important synthetic tool. In particular, transition metal (TM)-catalyzed C-H functionalization has witnessed continuing improvements in performance, allowing expansion of the toolbox available for organic material synthesis, natural products synthesis, and drug-discovery programs. In spite of this success, there is still a need for the development of methodologies to efficiently enable C-H bond transformation under mild conditions. During the past two decades, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become ubiquitous ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysis. Their unique properties, including strong σ- donation, are responsible for forming robust TM catalysts that allow for the development of more efficient synthetic procedures. Nevertheless, the use of NHC ligands in transition metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization has remained limited. Because organoboron compounds are versatile intermediates in synthetic chemistry, the development of new catalytic systems for selective borylation of unactivated C-H bonds would afford new perspectives in organometallic and catalysis. Herein, this Thesis discloses an efficient and straightforward strategy to access various types of transition metal complexes bearing bidentate NHC-carboxylate ligands which were fully characterized including solid-state structures. These unprecedented complexes possessing chelating-NHC ligands exhibited high efficiency and selectivity in site selective borylation of inert C-H bonds under mild conditions including a photosensitizer-free photocatalytic conditions

Full textOver the decades, non-activated C-H bonds have been considered as dormant functionalities, hardly exploitable in the context of multistep synthesis of complex scaffolds. The main challenge is to select one C-H bond among all contained in one molecule. To answer to this problem bicoordinating directing groups allowing directed C(sp3)-H activation have been developed. Following the work of Daugulis and Babu, we developed our own chiral bicoordinating directing group, (S)-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)aniline. This chiral auxiliary allowed us to realise various diastereoselective transformations on aliphatic chains such as arylation, olefination oracetoxylation. We also used it to develop a brand-new methodology for the total synthesis ofcyclopropane-bearing natural products. Moreover we developed a new chiral sulfinyl ligand, N-((S)-1-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-2-((R)-p-tolylsulfinyl)ethyl)acetamide, that has been used for the enantioselective arylation and alkynylation of cycloalkanes

Full textThis thesis work has brought its contribution the field of C-H activation / functionalization of nitrogenous containing rings as pyridine and pyrrole. First, we developed a strategy for a Pd- catalyzed regioselective allylation and alkenylation of azine N-oxides. The scope of this reactivity has been studied. Experimental studies and DFT calculations allowed us to propose a mechanism for the allylation and isomerization steps. We propose that the C-H activation step is the rate determining step of the catalytic cycle, and that it takes place through an outer sphere deprotonation / palladation mechanism. Next, we applied the Murai reaction to 2-pyrrole- carboxaldehyde derivatives using a Ru(0) complex. Under an atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide, we could obtain the acylated products in the presence of various vinylsilanes and styrenes. The application of this reactivity to other 2-pyrrole carboxaldehyde derivatives is under study in the laboratory

Full textThis thesis has focused on the use of well-defined low-valent cobalt complexes of the family RCo(PMe3)4 for a variety of bond activation (C–H, Si–H, C–X). We aimed to develop a catalytic system that could compete with the previously reported bimetallic systems of Yoshikai and expensive rhodium catalysis. To this end, we successful demonstrated that Co(PMe3)4 and HCo(PMe3)4 are efficient catalysts for the hydroarylation of a broad variety of alkynes and alkenes. In addition, we carried out extensive mechanistic investigations using deuterium labelling experiments and theoretical studies namely DFT. The main finding of these studies was that the C–H bond activation proceeded via a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer mechanism. Following on from this study we then showed that it was possible to carry out the regio- and stereoselective hydrosilylation of internal alkynes with a broad variety of hydrosilanes. During this study we successfully isolated an interesting cobalt(III) intermediate which we believe plays a crucial role in the reaction mechanism. Finally, we report on the ability of these catalysts to efficiently catalyze the homocoupling of benzyl halides in the presence of dimethylzinc. Initial mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction takes via two single electron transfers and that dimethylzinc act to regenerate the catalyst

Full textThe main objective of this PhD thesis deals with the preparation of polyfunctional phosphines by late-stage diversification of commercially available ligands. We have developed rhodium(I)-catalyzed ortho’- C–H bond alkylation of biarylphosphines. This new methodology provides a straightforward access to a large library of multifunctionalized phosphines. Some of these modified ligands outperformed commercially available phosphines in the Pd-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl bromides with carbon dioxide in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. To improve the diversity of biarylphosphines, we have also perfected the P(III)-directed C−H bond alkenylation of (dialkyl)- and (diaryl)biarylphosphines using internal alkynes. Chloride-free [Rh(OAc)(COD)]2 acts as a better catalyst than [RhCl(COD)]2. Conditions were developed to control the mono- and difunctionalization. One of these novel bisalkenylated (dialkyl)biarylphosphines was employed for the preparation of a palladium(II) complex, and some of these functionalized ligands outperformed their corresponding unfunctionalized phosphines in Pd-catalyzed amidation of sterically hindered aryl chlorides. Finally, we have also explored a novel protocol C–H bond alkylation of phosphines via 5- or 7- membered ring cyclometallated phosphineruthenium intermediates. These functionalized phosphines have potential to improve crosscoupling reactions of sterically hindered aryl (pseudo)halides

Full textIn this research doctoral thesis, we have shown that imines, 2-phenylpyridine, 2-phenyloxazoline, phenylpyrazole, benzo[h]quinoline led to cyclometallated ruthenium(II) complexes from [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and KOAc via sp2 C-H bond activation. [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 /KOAc/PPh3 is an efficient catalytic system for diarylation of imines and 2-phenyloxazolines in water, which gave higher activity than in organic solvents. Bulky amines were then synthesized through sequential catalytic C-H arylation and hydrosilylation of imines using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 catalyst. Challenging selective mono arylation of 2-pyridyl arylketones, leading to six-membered ruthenacycle intermediate, difficult to perform, was achieved with in situ generated Ru(O2CC6H4CF3)2(p-cymene) catalyst. The direct dehydrogenative oxidative alkenylation of aryloxazolines with styrenes and acrylates was catalyzed by [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2/BNPAH (1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′- diylhydrogenophosphate) catalytic system in the presence of Cu(OAc)2.H2O as an oxidant in air. Tandem catalytic oxidation of 2-pyridylmethanols and selective sp3 C-H (mono or di) α-alkylation of 2-pyridyl ketones with functional alkenes was performed by using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 complex in the presence of Cu(OAc)2.H2O in DCE or toluene. In the second part, it is shown that, [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 is a very efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of imines and primary amides. A wide range of aldimines and ketimines were successfully reduced to corresponding amines in high chemoselectivity by using PMHS as greener silane in ethanol at RT. Moreover, challengingly, primary amides could be selectively converted by hydrosilylation to the secondary amines under solvent free conditions

Full textRecently, transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation has emerged as a powerful tool to transform stable C-H bonds into carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. While the activation of aromatic C-H bonds has seen a tremendous development, less effort has been devoted to the more challenging activation of aliphatic C-H bonds. Our group has a long-standing interest in the development of C(sp3)-H activation reactions and their application in the synthesis of natural products and bioactive compounds. In line with previous efforts to develop an asymmetric C(sp3)-H activation, the herein presented work details the synthesis of new Binepine ligands. These monodentate, chiral ligands enabled us to realize a highly dia- and enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation reaction allowing the construction of chiral quaternary carbon centers. Strong points of this robust method are the low catalyst loading, the low reaction temperature and the absence of additives. The substrate scope includes the rare activation of methylene C-H bonds leading to fused tricyclic carbocycles and heterocycles. The construction of non-aromatic molecules through intramolecular C-H alkenylation was recently disclosed and has great potential for the construction of saturated natural products. Based on seminal work, we have developed the synthesis of valuable γ- lactams from acyclic bromoalkenes. This new methodology offers a powerful way to build simple, five-membered N heterocycles in a modular fashion. Notably, it enables a new retrosynthetic disconnection which is complementary to conventional approaches. Finally, we set out to showcase its utility as key step in the total synthesis of the pyrrolidine alkaloid Plakoridine A. The cyclic core structure was accessed in four steps and 37% overall yield
