Full textAbstract:
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are very important to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, among others. Over the past few years, the Beauchemin group has been exploring reactivity of N-substituted isocyanates and as part of this has developed a metal-free alkene aminocarbonylation process relying on imino-isocyanates to form azomethine imines. The azomethine imines formed are interesting since they contain a cyclic β-aminocarbonyl motif. Catalysis of this reaction using basic additives allowed milder reaction conditions with electron-rich
C=C bonds such as enol ethers. Efforts have also been made towards the derivatization of these azomethine imines into useful products. It was discovered that upon reduction and aromatization of azomethine imines, pyrazolones could be obtained. This is providing a novel modular approach to these compounds, which have relevance in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This reactivity was
extended to include imino-isothiocyanates.

Full textAbstract:
Nitrogen-containing molecules are ubiquitous in both natural products and pharmaceutical drugs, thus an efficient method for the formation of these motifs is of great importance. Hydroamination, that is the addition of an N-H bond across an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond of an alkene or alkyne, stands out as a potential approach to obtain such molecules. To date, most research in this area relies on transition-metal catalysis to enable such reactivity. In efforts directed towards metal-free alternatives, we have developed a simple, metal-free hydroamination of alkenes using hydrazides. Further investigation into the corresponding reactivity of alkynes with hydrazides has provided access to novel azomethine imine products. In Chapter 2, expansion of the substrate scope with respect to the intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes using hydrazides, as well as studies directed towards elucidation of the mechanism of this reaction will be presented. The intramolecular hydroamination of alkynes using hydrazides and methods to access and isolate the azomethine imine products formed will be discussed in Chapter 3.

L’organocatalyse permet l’activation de réactions chimiques diverses et représente une méthode complémentaire à la catalyse métallique ou à la catalyse par les enzymes. Cette stratégie peut être moins toxique et relativement plus accessible, en plus d’être fréquemment économique et écologique. En induisant une intramolécularité temporaire, il est possible de surmonter les pénalités entropiques inhérentes aux réactions intermoléculaires. Les travaux effectués par le groupe de recherche du Pr. Beauchemin ont jusqu’à date permis d’actualiser et d’améliorer des réactions d’hydroamination, d’hydratation d’amino nitriles et d’hydrolyse d’amides organophosphoniques grâce à l’organocatalyse aux aldéhydes simples. Dans cette optique, cette thèse étudie l’application de cette méthodologie dans des réactions d’hydrolyse. Dans un premier temps, les paramètres réactionnels favorisant l’hydrolyse d’α-amino esters furent investigués. Les problèmes de labilité de divers substrats en milieu aqueux furent abordés, de même que les difficultés à effectuer un « turnover » catalytique efficace. Dans un deuxième temps, la mono-hydrolyse de 1-amino diester phosphonique fut étudiée. Les esters d’acide 1-amino phosphoniques suscitent un intérêt en raison de leurs bioactivités diverses, notamment comme analogues d’acides aminés capables d’interactions biologiques avantageuses. Il fut possible d’optimiser plusieurs conditions réactionnelles, de même que d’étendre la portée de cette méthode à la synthèse de dérivés portant des groupements alkyles. Sur un autre ordre d’idées, les hétérocycles azotés font preuve de bioactivités importantes et variées. Conséquemment, leur emploi dans les domaines pharmaceutique et agrochimique est incontournable. Les cycles de type pyrazolone sont particulièrement présents dans des composés pharmaceutiques et dans des insecticides et des herbicides, tandis que les triazolium-olates présentes des activités biologiques intéressantes. Il devient ainsi essentiel de développer des voies polyvalentes, efficaces, peu dispendieuses et plus vertes pour leur synthèse. Des travaux antérieurs du groupe Beauchemin ont élaboré la génération in situ d’isocyanates et d’isothiocyanates N-substitués, des intermédiaires rares dans la littérature. Ils furent utilisés dans des réactions de cycloaddition avec des alcènes et des imines, pour former des azométhine imines. La deuxième partie de cette thèse s’intéresse à la dérivation de ces azométhine imines en dérivés de pyrazolone et en triazolium-olates grâce à une réaction d’isomérisation. Cette approche permet une déconnexion novatrice pour synthétiser directement des hétérocycles riches en azote complexes. L’optimisation de cette réaction fut mise au point et sa portée fut étudiée. Cette méthode s’avère peu dispendieuse, n’emploie aucun catalyseur métallique, ne requière pas de préfonctionnalisation et ne génère pas de sous-produits. Finalement, l’application de cette isomérisation à la résolution cinétique des azométhines imines fut tentée.

Full textAbstract:
In modern synthetic organic chemistry, chemists are driven to develop efficient methods for important C-C and C-N bond formation reactions. The challenge lies with establishing new uses for readily available substrates. In this regard, the synthesis of β-aminocarbonyl compounds from alkenes remains a long-standing challenge. Innovation in reaction discovery often requires finding new reagents, or rare reagents with underappreciated value in synthesis. In Chapter 1, N-isocyanates and other heterocumulenes are introduced as versatile amphoteric reagents. Their amphoteric properties are valuable in the discovery of new synthetic approaches, especially in cycloaddition reactions. While C-isocyanates are bulk industrial chemicals, the formation and reactivity of N-isocyanates remains underexplored.
Chapter 2 describes the development of reactivity with rare imino-isocyanates. This includes methods to access the reagent in situ with a blocking group approach, and the establishment of intermolecular cycloaddition reactivity with a variety of alkenes. This stereospecific reaction provides complex N,N’-cyclic azomethine imines, and enables access to β-aminocarbonyl compounds from alkenes. β-Amino amides and esters, pyrazolidinones, and pyrazolones were accessed by reductive derivatization of the aminocarbonylation products. Exploration into the limits of this reactivity gave insight into fundamental properties of imino-isocyanates. This includes the first detection of imino-isocyanates by IR spectroscopy.
A kinetic resolution of the azomethine imines obtained from this alkene aminocarbonylation reaction was then developed, which gave access to enantioenriched β-amino carbonyl compounds (Chapter 3). This was accomplished by Brønsted acid catalysed reduction, with a selectivity factor of 13-43. This was the first example of the enantioselective reduction of azomethine imines, and represents a new activation mode for reactions of N,N’-cyclic azomethine imines. Using this reductive method, both enantiomers of the β-amino amide could be obtained from a racemic azomethine imine in ≥ 97% ee.
The discovery of new reactivity of imino-isocyanates with imines in described in Chapter 4, which allowed the synthesis of eight new azomethine imines with the triazolone core. Our initial scope studies revealed different trends with imines than with alkenes, including increased reactivity, which led to investigation of the mechanism of this reaction. In addition, this was shown to be a valuable new approach for the synthesis of triazolones from imines.

Carbazole based polyazomethines have been synthesized via polycondensation reactions between di-substituted carbazoles, bearing amino and formyl functionsin positions 3,6 or 2,7. Optical and electronical properties of such polymers have been studieddepending of the linkage position.

By varying polymerization conditions, optoelectronic properties have been tuned, leading to the formation of polymers exhibiting a white emission. These polymers have then been integrated into OLED, as the active layer. Finally, more original polymers have been synthesized, using more original reactions or monomers such as by forming in situ benzobisthiazole. Other polymers integrating more originals monomers, such a tetrazine or divanillin, have been synthesized.

Full textAbstract:
1-Aza-2-azoniaallene salts are reactive intermediates that undergo [3+2] cycloaddition with many different types of multiple bonds. For the past several years, the Brewer group has studied the reactivity of these intermediates in intramolecular reactions, and have discovered that these cationic heteroallenes can react through a variety of other, mechanistically distinct, pathways to give different classes of nitrogen heterocycles. For example, prior work in the Brewer group revealed that 1-aza-2-azoniaallene salts could react in an intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition reaction to give protonated azomethine imine salts containing a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocinnoline scaffold. Further study of the scope and limitations of this Diels-Alder-like reaction are described herein. These studies primarily focused on how varying the N-aryl ring and alkene substituents affected the reaction. We discovered that in several instances, the metal mediated reaction did not facilitate the cycloaddition very well, so we searched for alternative ways to facilitate the reaction. We discovered that a non-metallic Lewis acid (TMSOTf) provided very clean products with α-chloroazo compounds. I hypothesized that changing the leaving group adjacent to the azo might further improve the reaction. With this in mind, I developed a technique to prepare α-trifluoroacetoxyazo compounds by treating aryl hydrazones with trifluoroacetoxy dimethylsulfonium trifluoroacetate. This technique is compatible with all types of functional groups including nitro aryl compounds, which gave low yields of the corresponding chloroazo derivatives. Importantly, these α-trifluoroacetoxyazo compounds gave even better cycloaddition results when treated with TMSOTf, and this method is more practical, more environmentally friendly, and greener than the metal mediated technique. This process even returned sterically hindered products in high yield, and provide a dearomatized non-protonated azomethine imine salt, which further verified the proposed mechanism of the [4+2] cycloaddition. Azomethine imines are well known to undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with alkenes. We wondered if the protonated azomethine imine salts generated by the [4+2] cycloaddition could be used in a subsequent base-mediated [3+2] cycloaddition to generate structurally complex tetra- or pentacyclic products. We were pleased to find that the protonated azomethine imines indeed reacted smoothly with a variety of π-system in the presence of triethylamine to give the corresponding cycloadducts in high yields with moderate to high diastereoselectivities. In an attempt to understand the diastereoselectivity of these [3+2] cycloadditions better, I modeled them computationally.

β-Aminocarbonyl motifs are a privileged substructures in medicinal chemistry and peptidomimetics. As part of our efforts toward metal free aminations, we developed a method for intermolecular amino-carbonylation of alkenes using hydrazones. This method provides access to cyclic azomethine imines containing a β-aminocarbonyl motif. Conceptually, these dipoles can be derivatized into many bioactive compounds, such as 1,3-diamines, β-amino amides and β-amino acids.
The first part of this thesis will present the results on the derivatization of our aminocarbonylation products into various nitrogen-containing molecules, such as β-amino amides, β-amino acids and pyrazolones. More specifically, a short, chromatography-free derivatization of azomethine imines into N-Boc-β-amino amides will be presented.
Following these results, the next chapter will focus on attempts at develop novel aminocarbonylation reactivity between 1,2-diacylhydrazines and alkenes followed by results from our reductive N-N bond cleavage experiments on our cyclic hydrazides.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of verdazyl radicals as starting materials for organic synthesis is providing a unique opportunity to create a variety of distinctive heterocyclic scaffolds. These stable radicals have previously been used as spin probes, polymerization inhibitors, mediators of living radical polymerizations, and as substrates for molecular-based magnets. However, verdazyl radicals have never been employed to fulfill an organic synthetic role until recently. In an effort to pioneer the chemistry behind verdazyl radicals as novel organic substrates, our lab has been inspired to expand and explore the scope of reactions involving their synthetic utility. This thesis assesses the synthetic versatility of verdazyl radicals by constructing a library of structurally complex and diverse verdazyl-derived heterocycles in an approach called diversity-oriented synthesis. The synthetic versatility was further expanded to the preparation of a biphenyl-stacked biphenylophane, which exhibited interesting structural and conformational features as highlighted herein.

Full textAbstract:
Verdazyl radicals are a family of multicoloured stable free radicals. Aside from the defining backbone of four nitrogen atoms, these radicals contain multiple highly modifiable sites that grant them a high degree of derivatization. Despite having been discovered more than half a century ago, limited applications have been found for the verdazyl radicals and little is known about their chemistry. This thesis begins with an investigation to determine whether verdazyl radicals have a future as mediating agents in living radical polymerizations and progresses to their application as substrates for organic synthesis, an application that to date has not been pursued either with verdazyl or nitroxide stable radicals.
The first part of this thesis describes the successful use of the 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-6-oxoverdazyl radical as a mediating agent for styrene and n-butyl acrylate stable free radical polymerizations. The study of other verdazyl derivatives demonstrated the impact of steric and electronic properties of the verdazyl radicals on their ability to mediate polymerizations.
The second part of this thesis outlines the initial discovery and the mechanistic elucidation of the transformation of the 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-6-oxoverdazyl radical into an azomethine imine, which in the presence of dipolarophiles, undergoes a [3+2] 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to yield unique pyrazolotetrazinone structures. The reactivity of the azomethine imine and the scope of the reaction were also examined.
The third part of this thesis describes the discovery and mechanistic determination of a base-induced rearrangement reaction that transforms the verdazyl-derived pyrazolotetrazinone cycloadducts into corresponding pyrazolotriazinones or triazole structures. The nucleophilicity, or the lack thereof, of the base employed leading to various rearrangement products was examined in detail.
The final part of this thesis demonstrates the compatibility of the verdazyl-initiated cycloaddition and rearrangement reactions with the philosophy of diversity-oriented synthesis in generating libraries of heterocycles. A library of verdazyl-derived heterocycles was generated in a short amount of time and was tested non-specifically for biological activity against acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma cell lines. One particular compound showed cell-killing activity at the 250 mM range, indicating future potential for this chemistry in the field of drug discovery.

Full textAbstract:
Verdazyl radicals started receiving attention as substrates for organic synthesis only a few years ago. Since then, the chemistry of verdazyl radicals has advanced at a very fast rate. There
are now a number of generations of novel molecular scaffolds derived from verdazyl radicals. Traditionally, verdazyl radicals have been synthesized from mono-substituted alkyl hydrazine and phosgene, which are extremely dangerous to handle. Alkyl hydrazines are restricted from being imported into certain countries, including Canada. A completely new alkyl hydrazine- and
phosgene-free synthesis is reported in this thesis. The new synthesis, relative to previously reported syntheses of verdazyl radicals, is safer, more economical and provides the ability to derivatize verdazyl radicals to a larger extent. In addition, enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various metal- or organo-catalysts are reported. The project is still in progress with the highest e.e. of > 90%.

Les cyclopropanes sont des motifs d’une grande importance puisqu’ils sont présents dans plusieurs molécules biologiquement actives en plus d’être de puissants intermédiaires dans la synthèse de molécules complexes. Au cours de cet ouvrage, nous avons développé une nouvelle méthode générale pour la synthèse d’ylures d’iodonium de malonates, soit d’importants précurseurs d’esters cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxyliques. Ainsi, à l’aide de ces ylures, une méthode très efficace pour la synthèse d’esters cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxyliques racémiques a été développée. Des travaux ont aussi été entrepris pour la synthèse énantiosélective de ces composés. Par ailleurs, les esters cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxyliques ont été utilisés dans le développement de deux nouvelles méthodologies, soit dans une réaction de cycloaddition (3+3) avec des imines d’azométhines et dans la formation d’allènes par l’addition-1,7 de cuprates.
Nous avons aussi poursuivi l’étude synthétique du cylindrocyclophane F impliquant l’utilisation de cyclopropanes pour le contrôle des centres chiraux. Ainsi l’addition-1,5 d’un cuprate sur un ester cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylique a été utilisée comme l’une des étapes clés de notre synthèse. L’autre centre chiral a pu être contrôlé par l’hydrogénolyse sélective d’un cyclopropylméthanol. Ces études ont, par ailleurs, mené au développement d’une nouvelle réaction d’arylcyclopropanation énantiosélective utilisant des carbénoïdes de zinc générés in situ à partir de réactifs diazoïques. Cette méthode permet d’accéder très efficacement aux cyclopropanes 1,2,3-substitués.

In this thesis, we developed a novel general method for the synthesis of iodonium ylides of malonates, which are important precursors in the synthesis of cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic esters. From these ylides, a method to generate racemic cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic esters very efficiently was developed. Further works was also achieved on an asymmetric version of this reaction. Cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic esters were used to develop two new methods: a (3+3) cycloaddition reaction with azomethine imines and the formation of allenes by the 1,7-addition of cuprates. We also continued our studies towards the total synthesis of cylindrocyclophane F, which use the cyclopropanes to control all chiral centers. The 1,5-addition of a cuprate on a cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic ester was utilized as one of the key steps of our synthesis. The other chiral centre was controlled by the hydrogenolysis of a cyclopropylmethanol. Moreover, these studies led to the development of a novel highly enantioselective arylcyclopropanation reaction using zinc carbenoids generated in situ from diazo compounds. This method allows the efficient access to 1,2,3-substituted cyclopropanes. Moreover, we developed the first Simmons-Smith reaction using a catalytic amount of zinc to produce an enantioenriched product.

Les matériaux conjugués ont fait l’objet de beaucoup de recherches durant les dernières années. Les nouveaux matériaux présentent des propriétés intéressantes que ce soit au niveau optique, électrique, mécanique ou même les trois en même temps. La synthèse reste la difficulté principale dans la fabrication de dispositifs électroniques. Les méthodes utilisées pour y parvenir sont l’électropolymérisation, le couplage de Suzuki ou de Wittig. Ces techniques comportent encore de nombreuses contraintes et s’avèrent difficilement réalisables à grande échelle. Les thiophènes, les pyrroles et les furanes ont démontré une bonne conductibilité et une bande de conduction basse due à une conjugaison accrue. L’objectif ici est de synthétiser des oligomères principalement composés de thiophènes dans le but d’en caractériser les propriétés spectroscopiques, électrochimiques et de conduction. La synthèse est souvent l’étape délicate de la fabrication de matériaux conjugués. Nous présentons ici une méthode de synthèse simple par modules avec des unités hétérocycliques. Les modules complémentaires sont attachés par condensation entre un aldéhyde et une amine menant à la formation d’un lien robuste, l’azomethine. Les résultats des propriétés photophysiques et électrochimiques de ces matériaux conjugués seront présentés.
En ayant recours à différents groupes électrodonneurs et électroaccepteurs, en variant le degré de conjugaison ou en utilisant différents hétérocycles, les propriétés spectroscopiques, électrochimiques et de bande de conduction peuvent être adaptées à volonté, ce qui en fait des matériaux aux propriétés modelables. Ces nouvelles molécules seront analysées pour en déceler les propriétés recherchées dans la fabrication d’OLED. Nous explorerons les domaines de l’oxidation electrochimique réversible et de la polymérisation menant à la fabrication de quelques prototypes simples.Conjugated materials have received much attention recently as they show promise for industrial applications. These materials are interesting because of the many new possibilities for devices combining unique optical, electrical and mechanical properties. The synthesis is the major difficulty in the fabrication of electronic devices. Usual methods to do so are electropolymerisation, Suzuki or Wittig coupling. Those techniques are full of constraints and are difficult to scale-up. Thiophenes, pyrroles and furans demonstrated good conductibility and low band-gap due to increased conjugation. Our main goal is to synthesize oligomers made principally of thiophene to characterize their spectroscopic, electrochemical and conduction properties. Synthesis is the most important step in the making of conjugated material. A synthetically simple and modular route to novel conjugated material consisting of heterocyclic units is presented. These complementary modules are linked by condensing aldehydes and amines leading to robust azomethine bonds. The resulting photophysical and electrochemical properties of these conjugated materials will be presented. Through the use of different electron donor and acceptor groups, degree of conjugation or by using different heterocycles, the spectroscopic, electrochemical and band-gap properties can be tailored leading to materials with tunable properties. Those new molecules will be analysed to detect properties suitable for OLED fabrication. This presentation will also address the electrochemical reversible oxidation and polymerization of these compounds leading to the making of simple devices.
