In this work, the [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of different substituted propargyl thiocyanates and double [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of enynyl isothiocyanates either by flash vacuum pyrolysis or by thermolysis in solution are studied. Additionally, the intramolecular reactions of the resulting allenyl isothiocyanates are studied, and the reaction mechanisms for the generation of the final products, such as [1,5] sigmatropic migrations or electrocyclic ring closures, are explained. These highly reactive allenyl isothiocyanates are used as appropriate electrophilic precursors for the preparation of novel examples of thiazoles substituted at C-2 position using different types of nucleophiles. For the formation of these substituted thiazoles, the necessary nucleophilicity as well as the regioselectivity, the stereoselectivity, and the reaction mechanisms are investigated. / In der vorliegenden Arbeit sind die [3,3]-sigmatrope Umlagerung von verschiedenen Propargylthiocyanaten und die doppelte [3,3]-sigmatrope Umlagerung von Eninylisothiocyanaten entweder durch Blitzvakuumthermolyse oder Thermolyse in Lösung untersucht worden. Zusätzlich wurden die intramolekularen Reaktionen der resultierten Allenylisothiocyanate studiert. Außerdem sind die Reaktionsmechanismen zur Bildung der Thermolyseprodukte wie z.B. die [1,5]-sigmatropen Umlagerungen und die elektrocyclischen Ringschlüsse erklärt. Die hochreaktiven Allenylisothiocyanate sind als geeignet elektrophile Vorläufer zur Synthese von neuen Thiazolen verwendbar, die an der C-2 Position substituiert sind. Dabei kommen verschiedene Nucleophile zum Ansatz. Für die Bildung dieser substituierten Thiazole sind die Regioselektivität, Stereoselektivität, Reaktionsmechanismen und der Bereich der einsetzbaren Nucleophile untersucht worden.

Synthesis of monosubstituted β-cyclodextrin derivatives for medicinal applications Abstract This thesis is focused on preparation of a set of β-cyclodextrin derivatives with potential use as scaffolds for a construction of novel MRI contrast agents. Firstly, the skeleton of native β-CD was selectively persubstituted at possitions 6 and equipped with azide functions. Per-6-azido-β-CD was then monosubstituted on secondary face of the macrocycle. (E)-cinnamylbromide and propargylbromide were chosen as suitable reagents. The monosubstitution reaction afforded two types of regioisomers, substituted at position 2I -O- or 3I -O-. These regioisomers were sucessfully separated via preparative column chromatography after peracetylation of all free hydroxyl groups. 2I -O-, 3I -O-formylmethyl- and 3I -O- karboxymethyl- analogues were prepared by oxidative transformation of cinnamyl group. Finally the usability of the formylmethyl- derivative for covalent binding with suitable substrate via reductive amination was confirmed. Keywords: cyclodextrins, monosubstitution, cinnamyl, propargyl, formylmethyl, carboxymethyl, reductive amination, MRI, contrast agents

Gas-phase thermolysis is a long-known and well established method for the preparation of reactive species. It is, however, limited to relatively volatile substances, which are easily vaporised. In the present work, the solution-spray technique for preparative scale was developed. With this technique, it is possible to subject low-volatile substances, which hardly vaporise even under high-vacuum conditions, to gas-phase thermolysis. By utilising oil nozzles used in heating and burner systems, it was possible to integrate a stable solution-spray into the existing flash-vacuum-pyrolysis system. The influence of several variables, such as flow-rate, pressure, temperature and solvent was determined. The solution-spray technique was applied in [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of certain propargyl thiocyanates to the corresponding allenyl isothiocyanates. Furthermore, the parent compound propa-1,2-dienyl isothiocyanate was reacted with various sterically demanding primary and secondary amines to form 2-amino-1,3-thiazoles in moderate to excellent yields. Based on this, a catalyst-free four-center three-component reaction was developed. 2-Amino-1,3-thiazoles with complex substituents in 5-position at the heterocyclic ring are formed. Reaction mechanisms are discussed to explain the occurance of a highly substituted 1,3-thiazine structure. The influence of reaction temperature, concentrations and solvent were determined and are also discussed. It was shown that 2-amino-5-methyl-1,3-thiazoles are the apparently first aromatic substance class, that readily undergoes Prins-type 1,3-dioxane ring-formation. / Die Gasphasenthermolyse ist eine lang bekannte und etablierte Methodik zur Synthese reaktiver Spezies. Sie ist allerdings auf flüchtige Substanzen mit einer guten Verdampfbarkeit beschränkt. Für schwerflüchtige Verbindungen, welche sich selbst im Hochvakuum nur mäßig oder gar nicht in die Gasphase bringen lassen, wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Solution-Spray-Technik für die Anwendung im präparativen Maßstab entwickelt. Unter Verwendung von Ölzerstäuberdüsen, wie sie in der Heizungs- und Brennertechnik Anwendung finden, wurde die Erzeugung eines stabilen Lösungs-Sprays in die vorhandene Blitzvakuumpyrolyse-Technik integriert. Der Einfluss verschiedener Variablen, wie Flussrate, Druck, Temperatur und Lösungsmittel wurde untersucht. Die Solution-Spray-Technik wurde für die [3,3]-sigmatrope Umlagerung bestimmter Propargylthiocyanate zu Allenyl-isothiocyanaten angewendet. Des Weiteren wurde Propa-1,2-dienylisothiocyanat – das einfachste Allenylisothiocyanat – mit diversen sterisch anspruchsvollen primären und sekundären Aminen in mäßigen bis exzellenten Ausbeuten zu 2-Amino-1,3-thiazolen umgesetzt. Darauf aufbauend konnte eine Vier-Zentren-drei-Komponenten-Reaktion entwickelt werden. Es entstehen in hohen Ausbeuten 2-Amino-1,3-thiazole mit komplexen Substituenten an der 5-Position des Heterocyclus. Reaktionsmechanismen werden diskutiert um die alternative Bildung einer hochsubstituierten 1,3-Thiazinstruktur zu erklären. Der Einfluss von Reaktionstemperatur, Konzentration und Lösungsmittel auf das Produktverhältnis wurde ebenfalls untersucht und wird diskutiert. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass 2-Amino-5-methyl-1,3-thiazole als offenbar erste aromatische Substanzklasse sehr gute Substrate für die Bildung von 1,3-Dioxanen nach Prins darstellen.

O trabalho teve por objetivo principal estudar a reação de hidroteluração de 3-hidróxialcinos (álcoois propargílicos), levando à preparação enantiosseletiva de teluretos vinílicos Z funcionalizados com uma hidroxila. Tais sistemas são interessantes do ponto de vista sintético, uma vez que muitas moléculas de interesse biológico possuem duplas ligações associadas a hidroxilas em sua estrutura. Inicialmente, alguns dos álcoois propargílicos foram preparados em laboratório (Esquema IA) e, em seguida, submetidos à reação de hidroteluração (Esquema IB). (Ver no arquivo). Como resultado da hidroteluração de álcoois propargílicos, obteve-se uma mistura de regioisômeros 1,2-dissubstituído e 1,1-dissubstiuído, sendo que a proporção entre eles variou de acordo com o substituinte R (Tabela I). (Ver no arquivo). Observou-se que quanto mais volumoso o grupo R, maior foi a quantidade do isômero 1,2-dissubstituído (telureto vinílico de interesse) obtida. Assim, decidiu-se proteger os álcoois propargílicos com grupos protetores volumosos e submetê-Ios à reação de hidroteluração, sendo os resultados obtidos bastante satisfatórios (Tabela II) . (Ver no arquivo). Os melhores resultados foram obtidos ao se proteger a hidroxila com o grupo t-butildimetilsilila (TBDMS), na forma de éter de silício e cabe ressaltar que em alguns casos apenas o telureto vinílico de interesse foi obtido. Em seguida, foram feitas diversas tentativas de desproteger os teluretos vinílicos obtidos empregando sais de flúor, mas não foram obtidos resultados satisfatórios, uma vez que não foi possível obter o telureto com a hidroxila desprotegida. No entanto, os resultados obtidos foram muito interessantes, pois pode-se concluir que a regiosseletividade da reação de hidroteluração depende de fatores esféricos e pode ser controlada. Além disso, foram obtidos enantiosseletivamente teluretos vinílicos Z, que representam blocos de construção interessantes para aplicação em síntese orgânica. / This project consisted in studying the main characteristics of the hidrotelluration reation of 3-hydroxy alkynes (propargylic alcohols), which lead to the enantiosselective preparation of Z-vinyl tellurides. Such structures are quite interesting for organic synthesis, due to the fact that a large nurnber of biologically relevant compounds contains Z double bonds and hydroxyl groups. Firstly, propargylic alcohols were prepared (Scheme IA) and submitted to hidrotelluration reation (Scheme IB). (See file). The formation of two isomers was observed as a result of the hydrotelluration of 3-hydroxy alkynes. The ratio between 1,2-disubstituted and 1,1-disubstituted isomers showed to be dependent on the group (R) present in the alkyne structure (Table I). It was observed that more hindered groups lead to the formation of a larger amount of 1,2-disubstituted derivative (desired vinyl telluride). So, the 3-hydroxy alkynes were protected with hindered groups and submited to hydrotelluration reaction (Table II). (See file) The use of TBDMS as protective group generated the best results and it is noteworthy that for some alkynes only the desired vinyl telluride was obtained. The results were interesting and it is noteworthy that in some cases only the desired vinyl telluride was obtained. In the following step, several tries to desprotect the hydroxyl group were perfomed, by the use of diferent fiuorine salts, but it was not possible to obtain the free hydroxyl group. Even though, relevant results were observed because it was possible to conclude that the regiosseiectivity of hudrotelluration reaction is sensitive to steric effects and can be controlled. Besides that, a convenient method for the enantiosselective preparation of Z vinyl tellurides was described, wihch are interesting building blocks for organic synthesis.
