    We report the experimental observation of a spatiotemporal Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference of biphoton states of extremely high Schmidt number. Two-photon interference of 1500 spatial modes and a total of more than 3 × 10 6 spatiotemporal modes is evidenced by measuring momentum spatial coincidences, without any prior selection of the photons in time and space coincidence, between the pixels of the far-field images of two strongly multimode spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) beams propagating through a HOM interferometer. The outgoing SPDC beams are recorded on two separate detector arrays operating in the photon-counting regime. The properties of HOM interference are investigated both in the time and space domains. We show that the two-photon interference exhibits temporal and two-dimensional spatial HOM dips with visibilities of 60% and widths in good agreement with the spatiotemporal coherence properties of the biphoton state. Moreover, we demonstrate that maxima of momentum spatial coincidences are evidenced within each image, in correspondence with these dips

    An Efficient and Recycling Catalyst for the One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of Substituted 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones

    Abstract: The Biginelli one-pot three-component cyclocondensation was applied in this work to prepare 3,4-dihydropyrimidinone and its analogues using the first derivative of lead, Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , as a recycling catalyst, from a diversity of aromatic aldehydes, ÎČ-ketoesters and urea. The reaction was carried out in refluxing acetonitrile and afforded the target molecules in good to excellent yields. The method offers several advantages including high yields of the products, short reaction times and easy experimental workup procedure

    Multiple Beneficial Health Effects of Natural Alkylglycerols from Shark Liver Oil

    Alkylglycerols (alkyl-Gro) are ether lipids abundant in the liver of some elasmobranch fish species such as ratfishes and some sharks. Shark liver oil from Centrophorus squamosus (SLO), or alkyl-Gro mix from this source, have several in vivo biological activities including stimulation of hematopoiesis and immunological defences, sperm quality improvement, or anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activities. Several mechanisms are suggested for these multiple activities, resulting from incorporation of alkyl-Gro into membrane phospholipids, and lipid signaling interactions. Natural alkyl-Gro mix from SLO contains several alkyl-Gro, varying by chain length and unsaturation. Six prominent constituents of natural alkyl-Gro mix, namely 12:0, 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, 16:1 n-7, and 18:1 n-9 alkyl-Gro, were synthesized and tested for anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities on a model of grafted tumor in mice (3LL cells). 16:1 and 18:1 alkyl-Gro showed strong activity in reducing lung metastasis number, while saturated alkyl- Gro had weaker (16:0) or no (12:0, 14:0, 18:0) effect. Multiple compounds and mechanisms are probably involved in the multiple activities of natural alkyl-Gro

    ThĂšse de Docteur-IngĂ©nieur (octobre 1980 - 6 novembre 1984)The dissertation deals with the use of functional butadiene-iron tricarbonyl complexes as well as the corresponding dienes for an original approach to leukotriene type molecules. The extremely important biological role of this new family of compounds has been widely demonstrated in recent literature. In addition to the syntheses of leukotrienes of which some of them were subjected to biological testing, this work required: - a systematic study of the reactivity of miscellaneous nucleophiles towards formyl groups α to a butadiene-iron tricarbonyl complex: diastereoselectivity of reactions, compatibility of reagents with the complex moiety, especially protection of alcohol functions. - The development of efficient and chemoselective methods of decomplexation. - A preliminary study of the reactivity of pentadienyl cations which are complexed to the iron tricarbonyl moiety: in particular, it allowed a highly stereoselective synthesis of functionalized E,Z-dienic alcohols or ethers.Le mĂ©moire concerne l'utilisation de complexes butadiĂšne fer-tricarbonyle fonctionnels ainsi que des diĂšnes correspondants pour une approche originale Ă  des molĂ©cules de type leucotriĂšne. Le rĂŽle biologique extrĂȘmement important de cette nouvelle famille de composĂ©s a Ă©tĂ© largement dĂ©montrĂ© dans la littĂ©rature rĂ©cente. Outre les synthĂšses de leucotriĂšnes, dont certains ont fait l'objet de tests biologiques, ce travail a nĂ©cessitĂ© : - une Ă©tude systĂ©matique de la rĂ©activitĂ© de nuclĂ©ophiles variĂ©s vis Ă  vis de groupes formyles en α du complexe butadiĂšne-fer tricarbonyle : diastĂ©rĂ©osĂ©lectivitĂ© des rĂ©actions, compatibilitĂ© des rĂ©actifs avec le motif complexe, protection de fonctions alcools notamment. - La mise au point de mĂ©thodes de dĂ©complexation efficaces et chimiosĂ©lectives . - Une Ă©tude prĂ©liminaire de la rĂ©activitĂ© de cations pentadiĂ©nyles complexĂ©s au motif fer-tricarbonyle : elle permet en particulier une synthĂšse hautement stĂ©rĂ©osĂ©lective d'alcools ou d'Ă©thers diĂ©niques E, Z fonctionnalisĂ©s

    SynthÚse d'analogues du 8(S)-HETE et étude de leur interaction avec les PPARs en vue d'applications thérapeutiques, notamment antidiabétiques

    Les PPARs ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©couverts il y a une dizaine d'annĂ©es. Il existe 3 isotypes de PPARs : a, b et g. PPAR a est impliquĂ© dans l’activation de gĂšnes liĂ©s au catabolisme des lipides. Quant Ă  PPAR g, il a un rĂŽle dans le stockage des lipides. Le 8HETE a Ă©tĂ© retenu comme structure de base, de par son activitĂ© de trĂšs bon ligand du PPAR a. L'objectif de ce travail a Ă©tĂ© de synthĂ©tiser en particulier, des molĂ©cules remplaçant le diĂšne E, Z par un noyau aromatique en joignant les carbones 9 et 14. Le carbone sp2 en position 15 sera substituĂ© par un oxygĂšne. Pour l'aromatique nous avons envisagĂ© la synthĂšse de 4 familles. La 1Ă©re d'entre elles aura un benzĂšne pour noyau aromatique et les 3 suivantes auront un naphtalĂšne, une pyridine et une quinolĂ©ine. De plus, les produits avec diverses saturations ont Ă©tĂ© synthĂ©tisĂ©s. Ces molĂ©cules testĂ©es sur les PPARs puis comparĂ©es aux antidiabĂ©tiques connus. Les rĂ©sultats sont trĂšs encourageant in vitro mais doivent ĂȘtre amĂ©liorĂ©s pour les tests in vivo.RENNES1-BU Sciences Philo (352382102) / SudocSudocFranceF
