Abstract
This thesis is divided into four parts. A new methodology of direct nucleophilic substitution of primary alcohols of MBH adduct catalyzed by Fe (III) / BF3 bicatalytic system followed by an application to the synthesis of pyrrolidine derivatives from MBH adducts was first developed. The second part deals with the study of the configurational stability or instability of allenylcuprate reagents. This study allowed to elucidate a total configurational instability of the allenylcuprate species to temperatures as low as -90 °C. The crucial role of the Li+ counter-ion in this process was also demonstrated. In the third part, a dynamic kinetic resolution of allenyl copper species prepared in-situ upon addition to chiral aldehydes and imines allows the construction of homopropargylic aminoalcohol derivatives in a very direct, effective, diastereoselective, enantioselective and diversified process. In the last part, these homopropargylic enantioenriched aminoalcohols were converted to cyclohexene derivatives C-7 cyclitols by a ruthenium-catalyzed ring closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM).
