Enantioselective Synthesis of Tertiary Alcohols through a Zirconium-Catalized Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of Pyrroles with alpha-Ketoesters
2011
Chiral complexes of 1,10-bi-2-naphthol-based ligands with zirconium tert-butoxide catalyze the Friedel Crafts alkylation of pyrroles with R-ketoesters to afford tertiary alcohols in good yields and ee up to 98%. The reaction is also of application to 4,7-dihydroindole to give C2-alkylated indoles after oxidation with p-benzoquinone.

2010
Chiral complexes of BINOL-based ligands with zirconium tert-butoxide catalyze the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to give functionalized indoles with an asymmetric tertiary carbon center attached to a trifluoromethyl group. The reaction can be applied to a large number of substituted alpha-trifluoromethyl enones and substituted indoles. The expected products were obtained with good yields and ees of up to 99%.
A Constrained Band Selection Method Based on Information Measures for Spectral Image Color Visualization
2011
International audience; We present a new method for the visualization of spectral images, based on a selection of three relevant spectral channels to build a Red-Green-Blue composite. Band selection is achieved by means of information measures at the first, second and third orders. Irrelevant channels are preliminarily removed by means of a center-surround entropy comparison. A visualization-oriented spectrum segmentation based on the use of color matching functions allows for computational ease and adjustment of the natural rendering. Results from the proposed method are presented and objectively compared to four other dimensionality reduction techniques in terms of naturalness and informa…
Arrangements de cercles sur une sphère: Algorithmes et Applications aux modèles moléculaires representés par une union de boules
2008
Since the early work of Richard et al., geometric constructions havebeen paramount for the description of macromolecules and macro-molecularassemblies. In particular, Voronoï and related constructions have beenused to describe the packing properties of atoms, to compute molecularsurfaces, to find cavities. This thesis falls in this realm, andafter a brief introduction to protein structure, makes fourcontributions.First, using the sweep line paradigm of Bentley and Ottmann, wepresent the first effective algorithm able to construct the exactarrangement of circles on a sphere. Moreover, assuming the circlesstem from the intersection between spheres, we present a strategy to reportthe covering …
Event-Based Trajectory Prediction Using Spiking Neural Networks
2021
International audience; In recent years, event-based sensors have been combined with spiking neural networks (SNNs) to create a new generation of bio-inspired artificial vision systems. These systems can process spatio-temporal data in real time, and are highly energy efficient. In this study, we used a new hybrid event-based camera in conjunction with a multi-layer spiking neural network trained with a spike-timing-dependent plasticity learning rule. We showed that neurons learn from repeated and correlated spatio-temporal patterns in an unsupervised way and become selective to motion features, such as direction and speed. This motion selectivity can then be used to predict ball trajectory…
Selective reflection spectroscopy of alkali vapors confined in nanocells and emerging sensing applications
2019
This thesis is aimed at studying the resonant interaction of a laser radiation with an atomic alkali vapor layer of wavelength-scale thickness confined in an optical nanocell; and emerging sensing applications.We focus our attention on the selective reflection arising at the interface between a dielectric window and a resonant alkali vapor, and show that the derivative of selective reflection spectra exhibit narrow resonances whose maxima are located exactly at atomic resonance frequencies. These resonances are observed with a spectral linewidth up to fifteen times smaller than the Doppler linewidth of the medium and their amplitudes scale linearly with respect to the transitions ones. Owin…
Etude des effets collisionnels dans les molécules tétraédriques. Applications au méthane perturbé par l'argon
1996
This thesis is devoted to the study of relaxational and collisional line-broadening processes in the first vibrational polyads of tetrahedral molecules. In a first part, the particular internal dynamics of such molecules is discussed. The second chapter reviews the literature on phenomena induced by intermolecular interactions involving this type of molecules. More theoretical aspects are developed in the second part. The so-called tetrahedral tensorial formalism adapted to the construction of Hamiltonians and transition moments of tetrahedral molecules is described. Main features of the infrared line-shapes theories and of semi-classical line-broadening and line-shifting calculations are a…
Characterization of a novel selenium methyltransferase from freshwater bacteria showing strong similarities with the calicheamicin methyltransferase
2004
A novel group of Se-methyltransferases is presented. The genetic determinant, named mmtA, which revealed this group was isolated from selenite and selenate-resistant freshwater bacteria. E. coli expressing mmtA and grown with a Se supplement emitted dimethyl selenide (DMSe) and dimethyl diselenide (DMDSe). Phylogenetic analysis divided MmtA-like bacterial sequences into two clusters, one grouping MmtA with S- and O-methyltransferases, and one grouping UbiE C-methyltransferases. Se methylation by some of these MmtA phyletic neighbours was investigated.
Pois protéagineux : cheminement de la recherche génétique pour la sélection des paramètres à prendre en compte pour l’amélioration de la stabilité du…

Field Pea: development of genetic research for the selection of parameters to take into account to improve yield stability. Legumes were essential in rotations in the past, but they fell off during the 20th century. Maybe they will come back into favour in the 21st century thanks to its economy, agri-environment and food assets. Field Pea is the main crop of this family in France, but it remains underdeveloped because its unstable yield does not enable the farmers to ensure their income security. Therefore researchers should focus on yield stability. Modelling Pea remains difficult because of its indeterminate development. Parameters to take into account are many and their significance must…
Comparaison de l’efficience de cinq souches de Rhizobium sur 18 génotypes de pois
2014
Legume-rhizobium association leads to the production of nodules on plant roots, in which atmospheric nitrogen is caught by the bacteria and exchanged for plant carbohydrates. This symbiotic association is probably the best way to increase nitrogen fertilization without using biological or chemical input. Symbiosis mechanisms between both species are thus a challenge for the current research. Previous studies have shown that rhizobia are not equally selected by the different pea genotypes. The objective of this study was to assess if peas select the most efficient bacterial strain. In order to answer this question, we sowed 18 pea genotypes and inoculated each of them with five different rhi…
