Abstract:
Two distinct themes were discussed during this thesis. The first concerns the synthesis and the
use of ionic liquids in the intramolecular hetero-cyclization reaction of 2-aminochalcones and
1,2-epoxy-2-aminochalcones, while the second relates to the preparation and evaluation of
antibacterial activity of quaternized poly-functionalized imidazolium salts.
In the first part dedicated (reserved) to the isomerization reaction of 2-aminochalcones and 2-
aminochalcones epoxides in ionic liquid environment, we have shown that the reaction
proceeds correctly, and it is applicable to a wide range of substrates, without the use of an
additional catalyst. the cyclization of The derivatives of (E) -1- (2-aminophenyl) -3-phenylpropen-2- en-1-one were tested in Three ionic liquids [bPy] [BF4], [bmim] [BF4] and [bmim]
[PF6], among these [bmim] [BF4] is the most efficient (ratio LI / substrate: 10/1, temperature:
150 ° C, reaction time: 2.5 h). The 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4 (1H) -ones have been obtained
with satisfactory yields (70-92%) in ionic liquid [bmim] [BF4], the (this) latter is recyclable
three times with a slight decrease in its catalytic activity (83 → 64%). We also reported a
practical and effective protocol for the synthesis of 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-
tetrahydroquinolin-4 (1H) -ones by an intramolecular cyclization reaction of epoxyde 2-
aminochalcone in ionic liquid at 120 ° C (LI ratio / substrate: 5/1, temperature: 120 ° C, reaction
time: 6 h) of the four ionic liquids investigated, [bmim] [OTf] gave the best results in terms of
cyclized product yield (35-93%). The structures of the compounds prepared were elucidated by
the usual spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H NMR and C-13), and other elemental analysis and Xray diffraction for some of them.
In the second part, a whole series of highly functionalized imidazolium salt derivatives were
prepared (12 compounds) and their structures elucidated by the usual spectroscopic methods
(IR, 1H NMR and C-13) and by X-ray diffraction for some of them. Most of these compounds
were evaluated for their inhibitory capacity against four pathogenic strains: three Gramnegative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella thipymurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one
Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) using two methods: the inhibition zone and the
determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC results shows that
iodine derivatives have inhibitory activity against Gram-negative strains, superior to
brominated derivatives and compounds bearing a nitro group. Staphylococcus aureus (Grampositive bacteria) are significantly less sensitive to the action of the substrates used.
