A new synthetic route towards methylene-spaced hybrid phosphinoferrocene ligands was developed, making use of a phosphinoferrocene betaine 3-(N,N,N-{[1'-(diphenylphosphino)- ferrocenyl]methyl}dimethylammonium)propane-1-sulfonate (2), that is readily accessible from 1-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocene (XIX) via treatment with 1,3-propanesultone. The betaine 2 was reacted with sodium alkylsulfinates (alkyl = methyl, phenyl, 4-tolyl) to afford the corresponding sulfones 4. The coordination chemistry of [1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]methyl(methyl)sulfone (4a) was investigated in its zinc(II) complexes. Surprisingly, only insoluble mixed-metal coordination polymers of the general formula [MZnX3(4a)(MeOH)]n (M/X = Na/Br, K/Br, Na/I) and six-centre complex [Li2Zn2Br6(4a)2(MeOH)4(H2O)] could be obtained. Two isomeric homologues of 1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (Hdpf, II), viz. 1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenylacetic acid (HIIa) and 1'- [(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (HIIb), were prepared and their coordination preferences were assessed in their palladium(II) complexes. The palladium(II) complexes were prepared by reacting various (acetylacetonate)palladium(II) precursors with these acids with concomitant release of acetylacetone....

In our previous publication of Thiele cage diols, we describe the first pinacol rearrangement to occur over a C(sp3)–C(sp3). Two mechanisms were initially proposed: a concerted mechanism and a stepwise mechanism, proceeding through a carbocation intermediate. Interestingly, the rearrangement provides only a single diastereomer. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the nature of the reaction by measuring the relative rates of reaction with varying substituents that either stabilize or impede the formation of carbocations. From the relative rates, we can narrow in on whether the mechanism is stepwise or concerted, based on substituent effects, and determine how the reaction may provide a single diastereomer. In Chapter 1, the pinacol rearrangement is introduced, and each analogue that followed after, including stereoselective pinacol rearrangements and a series of different semipinacol rearrangements that provide useful synthetic pathways for chemists with desirable stereochemical outcomes. In Chapter 2, we describe the isolation and characterization of two analogues of a key side product. The structure of each analogue was determined through a series of spectroscopic techniques including 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and 1D-selective gradient NOE NMR. From the solved structures, we proposed a possible mechanism to describe their formation during the main rearrangement reaction – one that shares a carbocation intermediate with the stepwise mechanism already proposed. In Chapter 3, we prepared five Thiele cage diol analogues with aryl substituents with different electronic properties: two substituents that stabilize carbocation intermediates (p-OCH3 and p-CH3), two that destabilize (p-F and 3,5-diOCH3), and the base tetraphenyl Thiele cage diol. We measured the rates of reaction of each diol with p-toluenesulfonic acid at 25°C, 35°C, 45°C, and 52°C via variable temperature quantitative 1H-NMR over time. From the rates of reaction, we found that diols with carbocation-stabilizing aryl substituents reacted faster than the destabilizing analogues, providing evidence that the rearrangement proceeds through a carbocation intermediate. We also found that the diols with electron-deficient aryl substituents showed an increase in the entropy of activation with increasing electron-deficiency in the aryl groups, suggesting an associative pathway for the electron-deficient substituents toward the rearrangement product. Considering the pathway proposed for the side product, we propose an updated stepwise mechanism. Based on computational studies and a previously-isolated X-ray crystal structure, we determined that the diastereoselectivity of the reaction was facilitated by favourable π-π stacking interactions between two aryl substituents. The interaction of the aryl groups twists the geometry of the molecules, placing the migrating aryl substituent in the ideal position for the rearrangement to occur stereoselectively. / Graduate / 2023-10-31

Metaphosphimates are possible precursors for oxonitridophosphates. A new polymorph of trimetaphosphimic acid, in fact an oxonium trimetaphosphimate monohydrate, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. It exhibits coin-roll-like stacks of H2(PO2NH)3 􀀀 anions in a rectangular pattern, whereas these form a hexagonal arrangement in the known polymorph. Ring conformation analysis reveals a state between boat and twist conformations, closer to the boat conformation. Temperaturedependent powder diffraction shows decomposition upon heating to ca. 100 °C.

In this project the photodegradation of 3,5-diamino-6-chloro-N-(2-(methylamino)ethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide was studied. A hypothetical degradation pattern for the compound was proposed and the aim of the project was to study the formed secondary photodegradants and to, if possible, structure elucidate some of these compounds. In order to do this, the parent compound was photodegraded in two steps, where a primary photodegradant was isolated using semi-preparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and then further degraded into the secondary photodegradants. The photodegradation was first carried out in aqueous solution, where the parent compound was irradiated in UV-A light of 300-400 nm. This resulted in a primary photodegradant with a molecular ion of m/z = 227, where the chloride in position 6 of the pyrazine group had been replaced by a hydroxyl group. During the large scale photodegradation, prior to the preparative purification, the yield of primary photodegradant was very low due to the photodegradation being dependent on both sample volume and concentration and due to the primary photodegradant also being unstable in aqueous solution at room temperature. Due to the above mentioned difficulties the parent compound was photodegraded in methanol instead of water in order to avoid the freeze-drying process where a lot of the primary photodegradant was lost. This resulted in a primary photodegradant with a molecular ion of m/z = 241, where the chloride had been replaced by a methoxy group instead of a hydroxyl group. This compound was more stable which allowed workup by rotary evaporation, instead of freeze-drying, before the preparative purification. This primary photodegradant was isolated using semi-preparative SFC on a Viridis® BEH Prep OBD TM column (250 x 30 mm, 5 µm) and a Luna HILIC column (250 x 30 mm, 5 µm) with MeOH/NH3 100/1 v/v as organic modifier. About 1.2 mg material was isolated and further photodegradation tests in ordinary water and 18O-water were conducted. Some secondary photodegradants were observed in LC-MS analyses, and their element compositions were proposed by accurate mass results. Fundamental structures for these compounds were proposed. Further structural investigational analyses are needed for confirmation in the future.

Title: Homologous ferrocene phosphines Author: Bc. Petr Vosáhlo Department: Department of Inorganic Chemistry Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Petr Štěpnička, Ph.D., DSc. Abstract: This thesis describes the synthesis and coordination behaviour of ferrocene diphosphines derived from 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf). Dppf is one of the most succesful ferrocene ligands, which can be used in various metal-catalyzed reactions. This study aimed to prepare analogous ligands with one dialkylphosphino substituent and one (diphenylphosphino)methyl group. These ligands were oxidized by KSeCN to afford the corresponding phosphinoselenides. The phosphinoselenides were used to assess sigma-donor abilities by measuring the coupling constant 1 JSeP via 31 P NMR spectroscopy. Lastly, the coordination behaviour of these ligands in palladium complexes was studied. The homologous ligands usually formed a mixtures containing a chelate complex and dimeric species with trans- coordinated ligands. Key words: ferrocene, phosphines, homologous ligands, palladium(II) complexes, structure elucidation.

O ambiente marinho tem sido reconhecido como uma importante fonte de metabólitos secundários biologicamente ativos. Neste contexto, fungos endofíticos associados a algas ganharam importância nas últimas décadas, como alvos alternativos para a pesquisa de produtos naturais. O presente trabalho teve como o objetivo o estudo químico e biológico de duas linhagens de fungos endofíticos associados à alga vermelha Bostrychia radicans. Inicialmente foi realizada a triagem química e biológica (atividade antitumoral e antimicrobiana) dos extratos brutos das duas linhagens selecionadas, linhagens M20 (Hypocrea lixii) e M23 (Eutypella sp), obtidos a partir de cultivos em escala piloto, tanto variando-se os meios de cultivo e bem como períodos de crescimento. O extrato da linhagem M20 cultivada em arroz apresentou potencial citotóxico interessante quando submetido a ensaios utilizando células tumorais HCT-116. Ainda, após a análise química, esta linhagem foi selecionada para o cultivo em escala ampliada, visando o isolamento e elucidação estrutural dos metabólitos secundários presentes neste fungo. O estudo químico em escala ampliada da linhagem M20, espécie Hypocrea lixii, proporcionou o isolamento e identificação de quatro metabólitos: ácido 3-hidroxi-5-metóxi-6-metil-1,3-diidro-isobenzofurano-4- carboxílico (S1), 3,7-dimetóxi-6-metil-1-oxo-1,3-diidro-isobenzofurano-4-carbaldeído (S3), galactitol (S4), convolvulol (S5), além do isolamento de dois metabólitos que ainda não foram completamente elucidados, S2 e S6. Os metabólitos S1 e S3 são metabólitos inéditos como produtos naturais. Além disso, foi possível a identificação de 14 substâncias via cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM), entre elas hidrocarbonetos, ácidos graxos, inclusive insaturados, aldeídos, aldeídos ?,?-insaturados e esteróide. As substâncias S1 e S4 foram submetidas à avaliação de atividade biológica (atividade antibacteriana, antifúngica, anticolinesterásica e antitumoral), porém nenhum resultado positivo foi constatado. Foi realizada avaliação da atividade tumoral das frações da linhagem M20, e as frações M20F e M20H apresentaram atividade citotóxica seletiva para linhagens de células tumorais. Em um segundo momento foi realizado o cultivo em escala ampliada da linhagem M23 (Eutypella sp) que proporcionou o isolamento da R-5-metilmeleína (S7). Dessa forma, o estudo químico de fungos endofíticos associados à alga Bostrychia radicans mostrou-se promissor na busca de novas estruturas químicas, visto que já foram isoladas e identificadas duas estruturas inéditas como produtos naturais. / The marine environment has been recognized as an important source of biologically active secondary metabolites. In this context, endophytic fungi associated with algae gained importance in recent decades, as alternative to natural products research targets. The present work had as goal the chemical and biological study of two strains of endophytic fungi associated with red algae Bostrychia radicans. The chemical and biological screening (antimicrobial and antitumor activity) of the crude extracts of two selected strains, M20 (Hypocrea lixii) and M23 (Eutypella sp), were obtained from pilot-scale cultivation, by means of culture media and growth period variation. The M20 strain extract, grown in rice, showed an interesting cytotoxic potential front HCT -116 tumor cells and after chemical analysis, this strain was selected for cultivation on a large scale, with the purpose of secondary metabolites isolation. Chemical studies of M20 species strain Hypocrea lixii, performed on an enlarged scale, afforded the isolation and identification of four metabolites: 3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6- methyl-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-4-carboxylic acid (S1), 3,7 dimethoxy-6-methyl-1-oxo- 1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-4-carbaldehyde (S3), galactitol (S4), convolvulol (S5), in addition the isolation of two metabolites which have not yet been fully elucidated, S2 and S6. The S1 and S3 metabolites are novel metabolites as natural products. Furthermore, it was possible to identify 14 compounds by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), including hydrocarbons, fatty acids, besides unsaturated ones, aldehydes, ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes and steroid. The S1 and S4 compounds were subjected to biological activity evaluation (antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and acetylcholinesterase potential), but without any positive result. Assessment of tumor activity of fractions of the M20 strain was performed, and the M20F and M20H fractions showed selective cytotoxicity to tumor cell lines. In a second step, the M23 strain (Eutypella sp) was grown on a large scale, resulting in the R-5-metilmeleina (S7) isolation. Thus, the chemical study of endophytic fungi associated to Bostrychia radicans algae proved to be promising concerning the search for new chemical compounds discovery, since it yielded two new structures as natural products.
