Dimérisation photocatalytique d’alcynes pour la synthèse de 1,3-énynes
This thesis presents a new methodology for the synthesis of 1,3-enynes by dimerization of terminal alkynes. The synthetic method used is based on metallaphotoredox, a technology that was largely developed during the last few years. The latter uses visible light as an energy source, a photocatalyst that can absorb the light and a metal-based catalyst that interacts with the photocatalyst. The dimerization of alkyne can be achieved by submitting a terminal alkyne under blue light irradiation in the presence of the photocatalyst 4CzIPN, the catalyst Co(BF4)2·6H2O, the ligand DPPP and the base DIPEA which is used as a sacrificial anode, in acetonitrile. The reactions of homo-dimerization (one alkyne with an identical alkyne) provides yields ranging from 48 to 90 % and a E:Z ratio of >99:1 for the resulting enyne. Reactions of hetero-dimerization (one alkyne with a different alkyne) can also be achieve with an aliphatic or aromatic alkyne and a silyl alkyne (TMS or TIPS) with yields ranging from 47 to 99 % and a E:Z ratio of >99:1 for the resulting enyne. This methodology was then applied for macrocyclization reactions. Macrocycles with 17-, 18- and 19- members ring were synthesized that way, with yield of 25, 91 and 37 % respectively.
