Metal-Ion Selectivity from Quantum-Chemical Perspective
Gutten, Ondrej ; Rulíšek, Lubomír (advisor) ; Dudev, Todor (referee) ; Baldauf, Carsten (referee)
Metal ions are a tempting tool for organisms thanks to the diversity of func- tions they have to offer, if they can be distinguished properly. Examining metal-ion selectivity computationally is challenging mainly due to complex- ity of electronic structure and solvation effects. A DFT-based protocol for predicting metal-ion selectivity of metal-binding systems was developed. The most essential part of the thesis is discussion of the magnitudes and sources of inherent errors, both for metal-ion complexes and small peptides. The thesis connects the work of four original papers. It includes computational and ex- perimental benchmarks, a case-study validating the computational protocol for obtaining energetic and structural insights, and attempts applying the protocol to peptidic systems. ii

Gold-Catalyzed Cyclizations of 1,5-Enynes
Matouš, Petr ; Pour, Milan (advisor) ; Hlaváč, Jan (referee) ; Veselý, Jan (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department Department of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry Candidate Mgr. Petr Matouš Supervisor prof. RNDr. Milan Pour, Ph.D. Titel of Doctoral Thesis Gold-Catalyzed Cyclizations of 1,5-Enynes This Ph.D. thesis deals with the development of gold(I)-catalyzed cyclizations of propargylamino acrylates (3-aza-1,5-enynes) in the presence of an external nucleophile. A library of tetrahydropyridines with an unusual hemiaminal ether functional group was thus prepared via the cyclization of a series of substituted enynes. The influence of the protective group as well as the substitution on the chemoselectivity of the reaction was demonstrated. The tetrahydropyridines were further utilized as precursors for the preparation of pharmaceutically important nitrogen heterocycles. The reduction of selected compounds furnished substituted piperidines, while Diels-Alder cycloaddition of alkenylated tetrahydropyridines gave rise to isoquinoline derivatives. Additional ortho-fused heterocycles (furopyridine, pyrrolopyridine and chromenopyridine) were prepared by the intramolecular version of the cyclizations of enynes with pending internal nucleophiles.
