Synthesis and application of new bipyridine ligands
Bednářová, Eva ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Cibulka, Radek (referee) ; Michelet, Véronique (referee)
2,2'-Bipyridines and their appropriate N,N'-dioxides form a significant class of heteroaromatic compounds, which has found application in various fields of chemistry and predominantly in asymmetric catalysis. One of the most powerful methods for their synthesis is cocyclotrimerization of alkynes with nitriles. A new variant of cyclotrimerization reaction - cocyclotrimerization of halodiynes with nitriles, which results in the formation of 2- and 3-halopyridines, has been developed. The reaction was studied on a wide range of substrates providing the pyridine products in good isolated yields. Formation of an unexpected product of halogen exchange reaction was observed during the course of the study and its origin was elucidated by experimental studies. The prepared 2-halopyridines were used as starting materials for syntheses of new chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. The crucial step of their synthesis turned out to be the reductive dimerization of 2-halopyridines to the corresponding 2,2'-bipyridines. Application of the formed bipyridine ligands was then tested in various metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, namely Mukaiyama aldol reaction, hydroxymethylation, conjugate addition, C-H activation of indole and desymmetrization of meso-epoxides, in which one of the bipyridine ligands showed...

Synthesis of the C15-C20 tiacumicin fragment
Havlíček, Vojtěch ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Veselý, Jan (referee)
In the diploma thesis, a method for preparation of the unsaturated C15-C20 tiacumicin fragment was developed. Tiacumicin is classified as a macrolidone antibiotic. Although three syntheses of tiacumicin have been recently published, this study has aimed to develop a novel pathway for its preparation utilizing catalytic reactions instead of stoichiometric ones. In the second part, an enantioselective allylation of (E)-3-jod-2-methylpropenal has been developed applying catalysis by a series of N,N'-dioxide catalysts. The asymmetric induction achieved in the allylation was up to 99% ee. This procedure allows relatively simple, straightforward and efficient preparation of wide range of natural products. Keywords tiacumicin, asymmetric synthesis, allylation, catalysis, chiral Lewis bases, organocatalysis

Preparation of enantiomerically pure cyclic compounds via organocatalytic concept
Remeš, Marek
Since 2000 the organocatalytic synthesis has developed massively in a third pillar of asymmetric synthesis standing next to catalysis with metal complexes and enzymatic catalysis. Organocatalysts, due to their various activation modes which could be combined in domino reactions, offer a way for a synthesis of complex molecules from a simple starting material. This thesis deals with investigation of usage of chiral secondary amines as catalysts for asymmetric synthesis of cyclic compounds. The main part of research was devoted to development of organocatalytic method leading to synthesis of enantiomerically pure cyclopentanecarbaldehydes and nitrocyclopentanecarbaldehydes. We focused also on the organocatalytic preparation of cyclohexanecarbaldehydes. During this work we developed an asymmetric domino Michael addition/α- substitution reaction of 2-(2-bromoethyl)malonates resp. 1-bromo-3-nitropropane with various enals catalyzed by chiral secondary amine. In the first case cyclopentanecarbaldehydes were formed where two chiral centres were created. In second case nitrocyclopentanecarbaldehydes were formed where three chiral centres were created. Yields of such developed reaction protocol reach up to 74 % and the reaction proceeds with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (up to 19:1 d.r. and...

Syntehsis of coibacines
Kolská, Kristýna ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Veselý, Jan (referee)
Development of new asymmetric processes is one of the objectives of catalysis in organic chemistry. These processes can provide access to chiral building blocks applicable in syntheses of various natural substances that can be used for medical purposes. One such process is the preparation of chiral homoallyl alcohols, which have been used for syntheses of variety of biologically active compounds. In view of the aforementioned, suitably substituted homoallyl alcohols could be used as intermediates in syntheses of koibacins A-D, which have a number of interesting biological properties. Natural koibacins A-D are metabolites isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. that exhibits selective antileishmanial activity and potent antïinflammantory properties. Our synthetic plan is focused on an approach through the allylation of aldehydes, esterification, ring closing metathesis and finally cross metathesis with different lipophilic fragments. Key words: enantioselective allylation, asymmetric synthesis, natural compounds, coibacins.

Tichá, Iveta ; Veselý, Jan (advisor) ; Jindřich, Jindřich (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds based on organocatalytic allylic substitution using Baylis-Hillman carbonates. As selected substrates for the allylic substitution were chosen α-azidoketones such as azidoacetophenone, 2-azido-1-indanone and then heterocyclic compounds (N-phenylrhodanine and its derivate) belonging to the pharmaceutical privileged compounds. Other substrate for allylic substitution was allylmalononitrile. In addition, this thesis includes with synthesis of cyclic compounds based on the reaction of products of allylmalononitrile with B-H carbonates using olefin metathesis.
