New methods of protonated aminoacids preparation and their interactions with polyelectrolytes
Trojan, Martin ; Sedlařík,, Vladimír (referee) ; Chytil, Martin (advisor)
This Master thesis investigates the interaction between the polysaccharide sodium hyaluronate (HA) and some amphiphilic molecules. It is known that the presence of the carboxylic group on HA and the aminogroup on the amphiphiles leads to electrostatic interaction between these two compounds. This supposal offers the possibility to physically modify HA and use it as a new type of a carrier of bioactive compounds, for example medicals. However, successful carrier of bioactive compound has to resist a certain value of ionic strength. The high-molecular weights HA (1.75MDa) and amphiphile lysine were chosen for the study of the influence of ionic strength on the system HA – amphiphile. Our results show that system HA – amphiphile system is suppressed even by low concentrate solution of electrolyte. Therefore the system was reinforced by protonation of the aminoacid. The results show, that the interactions were reinforced, nevertheless negative influence of chlorine anions had to be eliminated by lyophilization. The solutions with strengthened system HA – amphiphile were used for the research of ionic strength influence. The amphiphiles lysine, 6 - aminocaproic acid and arginine were selected for this study. The interactions were investigated by means of reometry and conductometry.

Azidoperfluoroalkanes: Synthesis and Application
Blastik, Zsófia Eszter ; Beier, Petr (advisor) ; Církva, Vladimír (referee) ; Kvíčala, Jaroslav (referee)
The incorporation of the trifluoromethyl and perfluoroalkyl motifs into organic compounds has been a hot topic in synthetic organofluorine chemistry. There is a plethora of methods for the introduction of the CF3 moiety at carbon, oxygen and sulfur centers. In sharp contrast, methods for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl and N-perfluoroalkyl compounds are very limited and new approaches are highly sought-after. The scarcity of these compounds prompted us to develop reagents capable of transferring the perfluoroalkyl unit to nitrogen atom. To fulfil this purpose, we have regarded azidoperfluoroalkanes as ideal reagents, therefore, this thesis is concerned with the synthesis and applications of these azides. The first part describes the preparation of azidoperfluoroalkanes. Upon activation by cesium fluoride, TMSCF3 transfers the trifluoromethyl group to an electrophilic azide to produce the desired azidotrifluoromethane. Longer carbon chain azidoperfluoroalkanes were prepared in a similar way, starting from the corresponding organosilane. A different synthetic strategy was applied for the preparation of azidopentafluoroethane where the perfluoroalkyl anion was generated from pentafluoroethane with n BuLi, followed by the addition of tosyl azide. The isolation of these fluorinated azides was...
