Synthesis of soluble nature-inspired N, N-alkylated riboflavin derivatives, study of the effect of alkyl groups
Ivanová, Lucia ; Maier,, Lukáš (oponent) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (vedoucí práce)
By flavin's unique structure, nature predestined riboflavin and its derivatives to the participation in redox processes within the bodies of all the living organisms. These biomolecules draw attention with intriguing optical properties and photosensitising abilities. Nature-inspired flavin derivatives share these qualities, and there is also a possibility of fine-tuning for the particular application from the chemical point of view. The thesis deals with two main aims. The first aim handles the synthesis of the trimer heteroaromatic precursor and 1,2-diketone. These key intermediates are essential for the future synthesis of the central aromatic core of the novel NH-free non-fused flavin derivative. The thesis introduces and verifies three approaches, including oxidation of diarylalkynes, nucleophilic addition of a corresponding organolithium compound to a Weinreb amide and benzoin condensation. The second aim covers the properties customization of NH-free fused systems by implementation of linear and bulky alkyl side-chains on the nitrogen atoms N1 and N3 of the alloxazine dilactam. N,N-alkylation introduced an increase in solubility in common organic solvents dichloromethane and chloroform. For the derivatives with 2-(adamantan-1-yl)ethyl substituents, high thermal stability was observed via TGA.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Organic Materials for Organic Electronics
Richtár, Jan ; Vícha,, Robert (oponent) ; Weidlich,, Tomáš (oponent) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (vedoucí práce)
In the modern era, organic electronics and bioelectronics go through tremendous development efforts to obtain novel organic materials with features usually unattainable by conventional silicon-based electronics. This thesis concerns the synthesis and characterization of novel organic materials for organic electronics. It deals with the synthesis of novel pentafluorosulfanylated heterocyclic building blocks, alkylated high-performance organic pigments, and bioinspired organic -conjugated materials with tunable physico-chemical properties and rational synthetic approaches towards their preparation. Pentafluorosulfanyl group (SF5) is appreciated for the high electronegativity, lipophilicity, thermal and chemical stability. It influences positively optical and electronic properties, solubility, and stability to a degree often superior to more established CF3-analogues. Two types of derivatives of 3-SF5-substituted pyrrolidines were synthesized by six and four-step synthetic approaches serving as potential versatile building blocks for the incorporation into advanced aromatic and heteroaromatic -conjugated systems via nitrogen atoms as the fluorinated terminal groups. A model derivative was introduced as a terminal group in an electron-deficient heteroaromatic system by nucleophilic substitution. Hydrogen-bonded high-performance organic pigments attract a lot of attention due to their impressive semiconducting properties, strong 2D molecular association, high thermal, chemical and photochemical stability, and non-toxicity. Nevertheless, they suffer from limited solubility and processability which is commonly solved by the introduction of solubilizing groups. Moreover, particularly bulky rigid adamantyl-bearing groups are known to improve molecular packing, thermal stability, and resulting properties due to the self-organizing ability of adamantane. The adamantylmethyl and adamantylethyl groups were incorporated into selected hydrogen-bonded dyes and pigments from groups of carbonyl azaacenes, rylene-diimides and indigoids by means of nucleophilic substitution aiming towards increasing solubility and processability while preserving the thermal stability and favorable solid-state molecular packing. Physico-chemical studies of quinacridone and epindolidione series showed thermal stability comparable or higher than for H-bonded derivatives, good solubility in organic solvents, strong fluorescence in solid state and solution in VIS region and distinct molecular packing in single crystals as was observed from X-ray analysis. Flavins are ubiquitous bio-inspired organic material with indispensable biological functions, promising physico-chemical properties, chemical and application versatility. Consequently, the focus was put on the tuning of the optical, electronic, electrochemical, thermal and other properties by the extension of the -conjugated system of said materials. Initially, two complementary synthetic approaches were envisaged in order to provide NH-free flavin series which was to undergo comprehensive physico-chemical studies. Afterwards, two different approaches were proposed to synthesize N,N’-dialkylated flavins incorporating butyl, adamantylethyl and triethyleneglycol-derived substituents. The alkylation enhanced solubility in organic solvents and aqueous media, increased fluorescence in solid state and solutions, and tuned the thermal properties depending on the alkyl substitution.
