« Et ils prophétiseront » : la prophétie de Jl 3,1-5 reprise en Ac 2, 17-21 : clé d'interprétation du phénomène pentecostal

Cette présente recherche vise à défendre le point de vue selon lequel le don de l’Esprit dans le récit de la Pentecôte (Ac 2, 1-13) s’interprète principalement comme l’investissement d’une puissance habilitant au témoignage. À cette fin, nous posons l’hypothèse que le contenu d’Ac 2, 17-21 est un axe fondamental de la théologie pneumatique de l’œuvre lucanienne, lequel interprète la manifestation pentecostale dans une perspective prophétique. La démonstration se fait par le biais d’une analyse rédactionnelle d’Ac 2, 17-21, une citation de Jl 3,1-5 insérée dans un discours explicatif de Pierre du phénomène pentecostal. Nous examinons d’abord le lieu d’inscription de ce passage dans l’œuvre lucanienne afin d’évaluer la valeur stratégique de son emplacement (chapitre 1). Nous étudions ensuite l’interprétation que fait Luc de cette prophétie pour en venir à la conclusion qu’il envisage l’intervention de l’Esprit essentiellement dans une perspective d’habilitation à la prophétie (chapitre 2). Nous vérifions cette première conclusion dans l’Évangile de Luc (chapitre 3); puis ensuite dans les Actes des Apôtres (chapitre 4). Nous en arrivons ainsi à établir un parallélisme entre les étapes initiatiques du ministère de Jésus dans le troisième évangile et celui des disciples dans les Actes, pour y découvrir que, dans les deux cas, l’effusion de l’Esprit habilite à l’activité prophétique. Le ministère des disciples s’inscrit de la sorte dans le prolongement de celui du Maître. Nous soutenons, en fait, que tout le discours pneumatique de l’Évangile de Luc converge vers l’effusion initiale de l’Esprit sur les disciples dans le récit pentecostal, d’une part, et que cette effusion jette un éclairage sur l’ensemble de l’œuvre missionnaire des Actes, d’autre part. Bref, le passage explicatif du phénomène pentecostal, en l’occurrence Ac 2, 17-21, met en lumière un axe central des perspectives de Luc sur l’Esprit : Il s’agit de l’Esprit de prophétie. Dans cette optique, l’effusion de l’Esprit à la Pentecôte s’interpréterait essentiellement comme l’investissement du croyant d’une puissance en vue du témoignage.

Cette thèse décrit le développement et la méthodologie pour la synthèse de 2-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines à partir d’ylures de N-iminopyridinium et d’halogénures de styryle. Des dérivés de chaque ylure de N-iminopyridinium et d’halogénures de styryle ont été utilisés pour la synthèse de plusieurs composés avec un intérêt pharmaceutique. Le premier chapitre présente les précédents littéraires pour la synthèse de pyrazolopyridines. Spécifiquement trois types différents de synthèse seront présentés en détail. L’importance biologique de ces composés sera discutée. La vue d’ensemble des travaux développés dans notre groupe de recherche pour la synthèse des produits de départ sera présentée brièvement. Finalement, la science intéressante qui a apporté cette idée de recherche sera révélée. Le deuxième chapitre décrit les résultats des optimisations étudiées pour la synthèse des 2-phénylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines à partir d’ylures de N-benzoyl-iminopyridinium et d’iodure de styryle. Chaque substrat de la réaction a été étudié individuellement afin d’être optimisé; les ratios, les solvants, la température du milieu réactionnel et le temps optimal de la réaction ont aussi été explorés. Le troisième chapitre présente l’étendue de la synthèse des pyrazolopyridines. L’étendue de la réaction inclut les dérivés des halogénures de styryle. L’étendue de la réaction a été élargie aux dérivés d’ylures de N-iminopyridinium et ils incluent des groupements donneurs d’électrons ainsi que des groupements pauvres en électrons. Des groupements exotiques d’iodure et de bromure de vinyle ont aussi été explorés. Le quatrième chapitre démontre les études mécanistiques que l’on a faites pour mieux comprendre les cycles catalytiques qui ont lieu durant la réaction. Des études de cyclisation avec les ylures de N-iminopyridinium ont été explorées pour les produits de départ suivants : iodure de styryle et phényl acetylène.

Azide 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to N-propynoyl and N-propenoyl (5R)-5-phenylmorpholin-2-one: diastereocontrolled aziridine formation

N-Propynoyl (5R)-5-phenylmorpholin-2-one undergoes nonregioselective cycloaddition with aromatic azides to furnish mixtures of the corresponding triazoles, whereas N-propenoyl (5R)-5-phenylmorpholin-2-one reacts to furnish the corresponding diastereoisomerically pure aziridines in moderate to good yields, presumably via the intermediate triazolines.

Synthesis of chiral 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-thiazin-2-ones (thiamorpholin-2-ones)-novel heterocycles possessing enhanced carbonyl electrophilicity over their oxygen counterparts

We report herein the first synthesis of chiral derivatives possessing the 1,4-thiazinone core. As predicted, the thiolactone is more susceptible to nucleophilic attack than the equivalent lactone system.

(Diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether)tris(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dionato)praseodymium(III)

The title compound, [Pr(C5HF6O2)(3)(C6H14O3)] or [Pr(hfpd)(3)(2g)], was prepared by the reaction of PrCl3.7H(2)O and hfpd-H (1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafiuoropentane-2,4-dione) in the presence of aqueous ammonia and recrystallization of the product from n-hexane in the presence of diglyme (2g). The metal atom is nine-coordinate, bonded to three bidentate beta-diketonato ligands and the polyether molecule.

Determination by MAD-DM of the structure of the DNA duplex d[ACGTACG(5-BrU)]2 at 1.46 Å and 100 K

A four-wavelength MAD experiment on a new brominated octanucleotide is reported here. d[ACGTACG(5-BrU)], C77H81BrN30O32P7, (DNA) = 2235, tetragonal, P43212 (No. 96), a = 43.597, c = 26.268 Å, V = 49927.5 Å3, Z = 8, T = 100 K, R = 10.91% for 4312 reflections between 15.0 and 1.46 Å resolution. The self-complementary brominated octanucleotide d[ACGTACG(5-BrU)]2 has been crystallized and data measured to 1.45 Å at both 293 K and a second crystal flash frozen at 100 K. The latter data collection was carried out to the same resolution at the four wavelengths 0.9344, 0.9216, 0.9208 and 0.9003 Å, around the Br K edge at 0.92 Å and the structure determined from a map derived from a MAD data analysis using pseudo-MIR methodology, as implemented in the program MLPHARE. This is one of the first successful MAD phasing experiments carried out at Sincrotrone Elettra in Trieste, Italy. The structure was refined using the data measured at 0.9003 Å, anisotropic temperature factors and the restrained least-squares refinement implemented in the program SHELX96, and the helical parameters are compared with those previously determined for the isomorphous d(ACGTACGT)2 analogue. The asymmetric unit consists of a single strand of octamer with 96 water molecules. No countercations were located. The A-DNA helix geometry obtained has been analysed using the CURVES program.

Preparation of transition metal complexes of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (C7H9CO2H) and X-ray crystal structure of [Cu2?(±)-endo-μ-O2CC7H9?4 (CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH

Metathesis reactions were used to prepare a range of dicopper(II), monocopper(I), diruthenium(II, III), dimolybdenum(II,II) and dirhodium(II,II) complexes of either racemic or resolved forms of endo- and exo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (C7H9CO2H). The X-ray crystal structure of [Cu2{(±)-endo-μ-O2CC7H9}4(CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH shows the two copper(II) ions bridged by two (+)-endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylate anions and two (−)-endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylate anions. Methanol molecules occupy the two trans axial sites, and there are also two methanol molecules hydrogen bonded to opposite carboxyl oxygens.

Zinc mediated azide-alkyne ligation to 1,5- and 1,4,5-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles

A mild method for regioselective formation of 1,5-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles is described. The zinc-mediated reaction works at room temperature and is successful across a wide range of azido/alkynyl substrates. Additionally, the triazole 4-position can be further functionalized through the intermediate aryl-zinc to accommodate a diverse three-component coupling strategy.

An insight into the beginning stage of the aqueous ring opening metathesis polymerization of exo,exo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid with Ru(III) compounds: the consumption of Ru(III) species in the presence of carboxylic acids monitored by ESR spectroscopy

The presence of paramagnetic species in the aqueous ring opening metathesis polymerizations of the exo,exo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid monomer with RuCl(3) and K(2)[RuCl(5)H(2)O] compounds was studied using ESR techniques. It was observed that the intensities of the Ru(III) signals in the ESR spectra decrease on the time scale of the induction period so that the ROMP can take place. The intensity of the Ru(III) signal almost disappeared 50 min after reacting with K(2)[RuCl(5)H(2)O] and after 100 mm in the case of RuCl(3). Reactions of the cis-[Ru(NH(3))(4)(H(2)O)(2)](tfms)(3) and [Ru(NH(3))(5)H(2)O](tfms)(3) complexes with the monomer and different organic compounds representing the organic functions in the monomer (furan, norbornene, but-2-ene-1,4-diol and formic, acetic, oxalic and maleic acids) were also monitored by ESR and UV/vis spectra. It was deduced that the organic acids provide the disappearance of the Ru(III) signal. The proton NMR relaxation times of the residual water in D(2)O for reactions with oxalic acid suggested that the presence of paramagnetic ions in the solution decreases along with

7,7-dimetoxi-1,4,5,6-tetraclorobiciclo[2.2.1]heptan-5-en-2-endo-ol : um versátil reagente na síntese de 1,3-aminoálcoois e de ciclopentanóides quirais altamente funcionalizados

Este trabalho relata a síntese de uma série de novos ligantes quirais (+) e (-)-syn-1,3-aminoálcoois derivados do norbornano. Através da reação de transesterificação enzimática com a lípase da Candida rugosa em acetato de vinila do álcool racêmico 7,7-dimetoxi-1,4,5,6-tetraclorobiciclo[2.2.1]heptan-5-en-2-ol, (±)-3, foram obtidos os álcoois quirais (+)-3 e (-)-3 (Esquema 1). Através da reação de redução e descloração destes álcoois com Na0/NH3/etanol foram obtidos os respectivos álcoois (+)-4 e (-)-4 (Esquema 2). Os álcoois quirais (+)-4 e (-)-4 foram utilizados como produtos de partida para a síntese dos 1,3-aminoálcoois quirais (+)-9 e (-)-9 em 5 etapas. Deste modo, a partir destes aminoálcoois (9), foi possível sintetizar 12 novos compostos (Esquema 2), todos inétidos na literatura. Os 1,3-aminoálcoois 10, 11, 13, 14 e 15 foram empregados como catalisadores quirais na adição enantiosseletiva de ZnEt2 ao benzaldeído. Excelentes rendimentos e excessos enantioméricos (até 91%) foram obtidos. A relação entre a configuração absoluta do 1-fenilpropanol com a configuração do carbono ligado ao grupo hidroxila dos ligantes foi estudada e, de acordo, com a enantiosseletividade observada foi sugerido um mecanismo para a reação Os produtos com esqueleto ciclopentila são importantes compostos com potencial atividade biológica, fazendo parte da estrutura de prostaglandinas, agentes antitumorais e inibidores da glicosidase. Portanto, nós decidimos usar o acetato clorado quiral 2 para preparar ciclopentanóides quirais altamente funcionalizados. Para isso, o acetato clorado quiral 2 foi submetido à oxidação usando uma quantidade catalítica de RuCl3 anidro na presença de NaIO4 obtendo-se a dicetona 16 (Esquema 3). A dicetona 16 foi clivada com H2O2 em meio alcalino fornecendo os diácidos 17a e 17b, que foram esterificados in situ com excesso de CH2N2 para fornecer uma mistura do hidroxi e acetoxi diéster 18 e 19, respectivamente. A redução da mistura 18 e 19 ou da mistura 17a e 17b com BH3.THF fornece a lactona 20 com excelentes rendimentos.

The co-catalytic effect of chlorpromazine on peroxidase-mediated oxidation of melatonin: enhanced production of N-1-acetyl-N (2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine

Accumulating evidence points to relationships between increased production of reactive oxygen or decreased antioxidant protection in schizophrenic patients. Chlorpromazine (CPZ), which remains a benchmark treatment for people with schizophrenia, has been described as a pro-oxidant compound. Because the antioxidant compound melatonin exerts protective effects against CPZ-induced liver disease in rats, in this investigation, our main objective was to study the effect of CPZ as a co-catalyst of peroxidase-mediated oxidation of melatonin. We found that melatonin was an excellent reductor agent of preformed CPZ cation radical (CPZ(center dot+)). The addition of CPZ during the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed oxidation of melatonin provoked a significant increase in the rate of oxidation and production of N-1-acetyl-N-2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK). Similar results were obtained using myeloperoxidase. The effect of CPZ on melatonin oxidation was rather higher at alkaline pH. At pH 9.0, the efficiency of oxidation of melatonin was 15 times higher and the production of AFMK was 30 times higher as compared with the assays in the absence of CPZ. We suggest that CPZ is able to exacerbate the rate of oxidation of melatonin by an electron transfer mechanism where CPZ(center dot+), generated during the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation, is able to efficiently oxidize melatonin.
