- The use of nucleic acids as chiral auxiliaries represents an interesting alternative. They can be produced chemically, and while the three-dimensional structures they form (eg. duplexes) are also sensitive to denaturation, this is reversible. The use of double-stranded DNA for various asymmetric transformations has been shown to be possible.3-6 The use of G4-quadruplex (G4) structures,7 based on the stacking of guanine tetrads for asymmetric catalysis, has recently attracted interest.8-11 One of the feature of these structures is that a single DNA sequence can adopt several G4 topologies (conformations) that are in equilibrium with each other.- In asymmetric catalysis, these different topologies lead to different efficiencies and orientations,12 demonstrating that controlling the conformation of G4 is crucial. This can be achieved by immobilizing guanine-rich oligonucleotides on a peptide template to create mimics of a specific G4 topology.13,14- We have shown that these mimes can catalyze the enantioselective oxidation of thioethers in combination with a copper II complex.15 However, this enantioselective transformation competes with racemic sulfoxidation, which occurs outside G4. In addition, the enantiomer obtained depends mainly on the G4 region where the reaction occurs.The thesis project aims to overcome these limitations by conjugating the metal complex to a precise region of the G4 mime. This strategy should make it possible to (i) prevent the reaction from occurring outside G4, (ii) control the orientation of the reaction by controlling the site where it takes place, and (iii) open up other enantioselective oxidation transformations such as olefin epoxidation.

The PhD student's tasks will be to synthesize modified G4s at the Department of Molecular Chemistry (DCM), characterize them and test them in asymmetric oxidation catalysis, in collaboration with the Laboratory of Metals Chemistry and Biology (LCBM).
