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

La première partie de cette thèse expose les résultats sur la formation de liaison carbone-carbone (C-C) par la réaction de couplage oxydant par déshydrogénation. La synthèse de composés biaryl par l'utilisation d'un catalyseur de ruthénium a permis la dimérisation des dérivés de la 2-phénylpyridine en présence de chlorure de fer (III) comme oxydant terminal. En outre, l'oxydative cross-coupling entre arènes et cycloalcanes, a montrer une notable, para-sélectivité. La seconde partie de cette thèse, décrit les résultats obtenue sur la réaction d'oléfination decarbonylative entre un aldéhyde et un alcyne vrai, catalyser par le ruthénium. En partant d'aldéhydes aromatiques ou aliphatiques et par l'utilisation de deux systèmes catalytiques, la synthèse chemioselective de double liaison C=C conjuguée ou isolée ont pu être réalisé. Cette réaction fournit ainsi, une intéressante alternative à la synthèse de doubles liaisons C=C par la directe addition de liaison C-H sur une triple liaison.

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 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 textThis thesis presents the development of cobalt-catalyzed carbon-carbon bonds formation. The first chapter describes a novel cobalt-catalyzed electrophilic cyanation of arylzinc species, employing benign and non-toxic N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) as the cyano source. In this reaction, cobalt catalyzes both the formation of arylzinc species and the cyanation reaction. Various benzonitriles are synthesized affording good to excellent yields. Using cobalt-bipyridine complexes instead of CoBr2, ketone and nitrile groups can be tolerated. The second chapter reports cobalt-catalyzed Csp3-Csp3 homocoupling reaction. A simple catalytic system could deliver dimers of a number of alkyl halides/pseudohalides and allylic acetates. Sodium iodide is crucial for the homocoupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides and tosylates. This method is extended to alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling; however, the conditions still need to be optimized. The third chapter describes a cobalt-catalyzed vinyl-benzyl cross-coupling. A variety of functionalized vinyl bromides and benzyl chlorides are efficiently coupled under mild conditions in good to excellent yields, with retention of Z/E configuration. A few mechanistic experiments indicate a single electron transfer involved. The last chapter discusses the progress on the cobalt-catalyzed arylation of 2-phenylpyridine with an arylzinc species by C-H activation and promising results are obtained

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 textDuring this Ph.D. period, we were interested in the C-H bonds activation catalysed by palladium catalysts for the preparation of biaryls units bearing SO₂R group. Many biological compounds present a SO₂R function and thus we chose to activate this family of substrates. This method is considered as cost effective and environmentally attractive compared to other types of couplings such as Suzuki, Stille, or Negishi. First, we demonstrated that it is possible to apply C-H bond activation method for the direct arylation of thiophene derivatives bearing a SO₂R substituent. We then established palladium-catalysed system for the selective C2 arylation of N-tosylpyrrole derivatives. We found that N-tosylpyrrole is more reactive than free NH-pyrrole. We also studied the direct arylation of heteroarenes using bromobenzenes bearing SO₂R substituents either at C2 or C4 via palladium-catalysed C-H activation. This method provides a simpler access to substituted SO₂R derivatives. Finally we developed the first palladium-catalysed dehydrogenative sp³ C-H bond functionalization/activation of N-alkyl-benzenesulfonamides to produce N-alkenyl-benzenesulfonamides. The reaction proceeds with easily accessible ligand-free Pd(OAc)₂ catalyst for aryl bromides bearing electron-withdrawing groups or PdCl(C₃H₅)(dppb) catalyst for aryl bromides with electron-donating substituents. We found that the reaction tolerates a variety of substituents both on nitrogen and on the bromobenzene moiety

Broadly defined this thesis has focused on the design and study of molecular catalysts that engender multi-electron reactions and photoreactions on small molecule substrates relevant to solar energy conversion. Specifically the molecular design elements employed have focused on bimetallic complexes of late transition metals that exhibit an unusual two-electron mixed valence ground state. Initial studies focused on the mechanistic elucidation of the reported photocatalytic production of hydrogen from homogeneous hydrohalic acid solution using a two-electron mixed valence dirhodium complex. Studies aimed at understanding and improving the photochemical quantum efficiency for challenging M-X (X = CI, Br-) bond photoactivations were undertaken by incorporating gold into a heterobimetallic rhodium-gold construct. Additionally the organometallic reactivity of two-electron mixed valence diiridium cores was explored with a specific emphasis on C-H bond activations in order to extend the cooperative bimetallic reactivity observed in the dirhodium systems beyond HX and H2 substrates to alkanes and arenes.

Full textDuring this thesis, we were interested in the sp² and sp³ C-H bond activation catalyzed by palladium catalysts for the preparation of (hetero)aryl-aryls and biaryls. This method is considered as cost effective and environmentally attractive compared to the classical couplings such as Suzuki, Heck, or Negishi. First we described the palladium-catalyzed direct C2-arylation of benzothiophene in the absence of phosphine ligand with high selectivity. We also demonstrated that it is possible to active both C2 and C5 C-H bonds for access to 2,5-diarylated compounds in one step, and also to non-symmetrically substituted 2,5-diarylpyrroles via sequential C2 arylation followed by C5 arylation. We also studied the reactivity of polychlorobenzenes via palladium-catalyzed C-H activation. We finally examined the palladium-catalysed selective sp² and sp³ C-H bond activation of guaiazulene. The selectivity depends on the solvent and base: sp² C2-arylation (KOAc in ethylbenzene), sp² C3-arylation (KOAc in DMAc) and sp³ C4-Me arylation (CsOAc/K₂CO₃ in DMAc). Through this method, a challenging sp³ C-H bond was activated

Full textDuring this thesis, we were interested in the synthesis of organic photo-switches [DAE, di(hetero)arylethenes] via palladium catalyzed sp2 C-H bond activation of heteroaromatics. The previously established catalysts system for direct arylation, Pd(OAc)₂/KOAc/DMA, was found to be suitable for the new desired transformations. This method allows the straightforward access to a wide variety of useful photo-switchable molecules in a few steps. Moreover, during the course of further developments of C-H bond functionalization of heteroaromatics, we found that a phosphine free catalytic system, Pd(CH₃CN)₂Cl2/Li ₂CO₃/dioxane, promotes the coupling of thiophenes and arylsulfonyl chlorides to afford unexpected β-arylated products. This new catalytic system can also be utilized in conjugate addition reaction by using enones and arylsulfonyl chlorides as coupling partners. Finally, we describe PdCl2/CuBr co-catalyzed formation of 4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines via cascade desulfitative Heck/sp² C-H activation sequence

Full textOrganic synthesis has been making outstanding recent progress because of the use of transition-metal catalysis into laboratory routine. Among different metals involved in catalysis, cobalt is interesting because of its low cost and toxicity but also because of its unique reactivity.During this thesis, cross-coupling and C—H bond activation reactions using cobalt complexes as catalysts were investigated.A simple catalytic system composed of diphosphine ligand and a cost-effective cobalt salt allowed us to functionnalize α-haloamides using Grignard reagents. A large variety of amides and Grignard reagents (aryl-, vinyl-, alkynyl-) were successfully tested, generating an interesting library of α-functionnalized amides.Moreover, simple cobalt salts were engaged in the activation of the C—H bond of benzamides for the aminoarylation of alkylidene cyclopropanes. Under mild conditions, original and polycyclic molecules were obtained in a single step.These results obtained in two different domains treated in this thesis demonstrate the high potential of simple cobalt salt in catalysis

Chapter 1. Soluble Methane Monooxygenase: Activation of Dioxygen and Methane The mechanisms by which soluble methane monooxygenase uses dioxygen to convert methane selectively to methanol have come into sharp focus. Diverse techniques have clarified subtle details about each step in the reaction, from binding and activating dioxygen, to hydroxylation of alkanes and other substrates, to the electron transfer events required to complete the catalytic cycle. Chapter 2. Electron Transfer Reactions of the Reductase Component of Soluble Methane Monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) Soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) catalyzes the hydroxylation of methane by dioxygen to afford methanol and water, the first step of carbon assimilation in methanotrophic bacteria. This enzyme comprises three protein components: a hydroxylase (MMOH) that contains a dinuclear non-heme iron active site, a reductase (MMOR) that facilitates electron transfer from NADH to the diiron site of MMOH, and a coupling protein (MMOB). MMOR uses a non-covalently bound FAD cofactor and a [2Fe-2S] cluster to mediate electron transfer. The gene encoding MMOR was cloned from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) and expressed in Escherichia coli in high yield. Purified recombinant MMOR was indistinguishable from the native protein in all aspects examined, including activity, mass, cofactor content, and EPR spectrum of the [2Fe-2S] cluster. Redox potentials for the FAD and [2Fe-2S] cofactors, determined by reductive titrations in the presence of indicator dyes ...
(cont.) The midpoint potentials of MMOR are not altered by the addition of MMOH, MMOB, or both MMOH and MMOB. The reaction of MMOR with NADH was investigated by stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopy, and the kinetic and spectral properties of intermediates are described. The effects of pH on the redox properties of MMOR are described and exploited in pH jump kinetic studies to measure the rate constant of 130 +/- s-1 for electron transfer between the FAD and [2Fe-2S] cofactors in two-electron reduced MMOR. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters determined significantly extend our understanding of the sMMO system. Chapter 3. Structural Features of the MMOH/MMOR Complex as Revealed by Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Covalently Cross-linked Proteins. Soluble methane monooxygenase requires complexes between its three component proteins for efficient catalytic turnover. The hydroxylase (MMOH) must bind both to the reductase (MMOR) for electron transfer and to the regulatory protein (MMOB) to allow reaction with substrates. Although structures of MMOH, MMOB, and one domain of MMOR have been determined, little is known about structures of the complexes. Proteins cross-linked by a carbodiimide reagent were analyzed by specific proteolysis and capillary HPLC-mass spectrometry. Tandem mass spectra conclusively identified two amine-to-carboxylate cross-linked sites involving the alpha subunit of MMOH and the [2Fe-2S] domain of MMOR (MMOR-Fd). The amino terminus of the MMOH alpha subunit cross-links to the side chains of MMOR-Fd residues Glu56 and Glu91. These Glu residues are close to one another on the surface of MMOR-Fd and far from the [2Fe-2S] cluster ...

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 textAu cours de cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'activation de liaisons CH catalysées par des complexes de palladium tels PdCl(C₃H₅)(dppb) et Pd(OAc)₂ pour la préparation de biaryles. Cette méthode est considérée comme un moyen de synthèse économique et respectueux de l'environnement comparé à d'autres types de couplages tels que les réactions de Suzuki, Stille ou Negishi. D'abord, nous avons démontré qu'il est possible d'appliquer la méthode d'activation de la liaison C-H pour l'arylation directe de formyle ou d'acétyle halothiophenes. Les produits correspondants pourraient être ensuite fonctionnalisés en raison de la présence des groupements halogène et carbonyle sur les produits obtenus. Nous avons également démontré que l'utilisation d'un solvant tel que le cyclopentyl méthyl éther (CPME), qui est considéré comme un solvant écologique par rapport aux solvants toxiques traditionnellement utilisés pour ces réactions de couplage, conduit à une variété de dérivés hétéroaromatiques arylés. Nous avons ensuite établi les conditions pour le couplage sélectif de phénols non-protégées par des bromures d'aryle en O ou en C2 du phenol. Nous avons constaté qu'un simple changement de la nature de la base utilisée dans cette réaction conduit à une sélectivité différente. Nous avons également réalisé l'arylation directe de dérivés dithienylperfluorocyclopentene via activation de liaisons C-H catalyse au palladium. Cette méthode a permis un accès plus simple à des molécules photochromiques. En outre, nous avons démontré qu'il est possible, via l'addition séquentielle des réactifs, de préparer des thiéno-ou furo-quinolines à partir de thiéno- ou furo-carboxaldéhydes et de 2-halogénoanilines. Nous avons aussi mis au point une méthode d'arylation directe catalysée par le palladium pour l'arylation d'un ligand déjà coordonné à des complexes d'iridium. Avec cette méthode, une variété de complexes possédant des propriétés physiques différentes a été obtenue

Full textResistance to current treatments of cancer encourages finding new therapeutical targets. The heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) is a molecular chaperon which regulates the folding of many client proteins associated with all of the six hallmarks of cancer, and helps maintaining their proper conformation. Consequently, the hsp90 has become an exciting new target in cancer drug discovery since the inhibition of its ATPase activity leads to depletion of these client proteins via the proteasomal pathway. PU3 and PU24S are purine-based hsp90 inhibitors functionalized on C-8 position. In the aim to identify more active compounds and/or new subfamilies of inhibitors, we have developed new metal-catalyzed C-H activation processes of various heterocycles including purines and other azoles. These new and simple approaches have allowed the access to numerous C-8 functionalized purines bearing (het)aryl, alkenyl and benzyl moieties
