The pi-electron oligomers: Their synthesis and properties
Warzecha, Tomáš ; Starý, Ivo (advisor) ; Kotora, Martin (referee)
The pi-electron oligomers: Their synthesis and properties This diploma thesis is focused on the synthesis of p-oligophenyleneethynylene rods (dimer and trimer) containing laterally attached naphtalenediimide units as electron acceptor groups. These functionalised short oligomers are intended to serve as model oligodentate acceptors in the study on multiple interactions with electron rich molecules. The oligomers were assembled from building blocks such as aryl iodides and aryl alkynes bearing a naphthalenediimide unit. The functionalised monomers were combined in a stepwise way by using Sonogashira reaction to form the target p-oligophenyleneethynylene oligomers. The introductory UV-VIS spectroscopic studies on charge transfer complexes between electron donor (pyrene) and electron acceptor (a naphthalenediimide derivative) were performed. In addition, multiple noncovalent interaction between the electron acceptor dimer containing two naphthalenedimide moieties and the electron donor dimer containing two pyrene moieties were investigated by using 1 H NMR titration. The resulting oligomers and their precursors were characterized by using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS and IR spectroscopy.
Synthesis of New Types of Biologically Active Substances Using the Organometallic Compounds
Korotvička, Aleš ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Dvořák, Dalimil (referee) ; Starý, Ivo (referee)
This work consists of four separate chapters. Although they are seemingly different projects, they have a common feature - the application of organometallic chemistry. 1. Lusianthridin and denbinobin, the phenanthrene derivatives, can be found in plants of the family Orchidaceae. They exhibit cytostatic activity against cancer of human lung and ovarian and against promyelocytic leukemia. Therefore, new synthetic methods for these substances may be applied in research and development of new bioactive compounds. I prepared 9,10- disubstituted phenanthrenes through reactions of biphenylene with alkynes, which were catalyzed by iridium complexes. Phenanthridine derivatives are found naturally in the group benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids. The most famous of these include sanguinarine and chelerythrine. Sanguinarine selectively induces apoptosis (planned cell death) of human cancer cells and, therefore, is investigated as a potential antitumor agent. Chelerythrine selectively inhibits protein kinase C, leading again to apoptosis. I have studied reactions of biphenylene with nitriles catalyzed by rhodium complexes that have not been described yet. By this, I prepared a series of 6-substituted phenanthridines. 2. Carboranes are artificially prepared organic compounds of boron, which are not represented in...
Transition metal complexes catalyzed synthesis of biologically active estrone derivatives
Prchalová, Eva ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Moravcová, Jitka (referee) ; Hlaváč, Jan (referee)
This thesis relates to the preparation and use of new non-estrogenic ligands selective for certain types of the 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase superfamily (17βHSD). Such nonestrogenic compounds, which selectively regulate the activity of 17βHSD are believed to offer new solutions in endocrine therapy, diagnosis and treatment of estrogen-dependent types of diseases. In recent years in the laboratories of my supervisor prof. Kotora differently substituted steroid derivatives with interesting biological properties were prepared. Based on the gained experiences, it was decided to prepare C-15 estrone derivatives. Such compounds are mostly unexplored, and therefore they might be a new class of interesting biologically active compounds. A method was developed for the preparation of C-15 estrone derivatives. Estrone, the starting material for the synthesis, was first converted to the appropriate intermediate, protected estra-1,3,5(10),15-tetraene-17-one. Conjugate addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to this enone yielded the starting material for further reactions, 15β-vinylestrone. Cross metathesis of 15β-vinylestrone with suitable terminal olefins provided large series of C-15 estrone derivatives with perfluoroalkylated, aliphatic and aromatic side chains. Selected unsaturated derivatives were tested...
Enantioselective allylation of thiophene-2-carbaldehyde
Motloch, Petr ; Kotora, Martin (advisor) ; Veselý, Jan (referee)
The first part of the bachelor thesis deals with enantioselective allylation of thiophene-2- carbaldehyde to the corresponding chiral homoallylic alcohol by using chiral Lewis bases as catalysts. The highest asymmetric induction achieved was 97 % ee. The second part concerns application of the prepared chiral homoallylic alcohol as the crucial intermediate for synthesis of antidepressant (S)-duloxetine. Key words enantioselective, allylation, Lewis base, thiophene-2-carbaldehyde, duloxetine
