Studies of electronic and structural properties of molecular clusters of prebiotic importance

Aylward, Nigel Nunn January 2006 (has links)
This thesis applies the ab initio techniques of computational chemistry to studies of molecular clusters containing covalent (strong) or van der Waals (weak) bonds formed in chemistry and biochemistry in the temperature range 10-300 K. Van derWaals complexes with an enthalpy of formation from reactants of less than 25 kJ mol-1 and covalent clusters are described in this thesis. The first group of van der Waals complexes involved the molecule carbon monoxide that possesses a small permanent dipole that could lead to dipole - induced dipole interaction and dipole - dipole interaction with another reactant in addition to dispersion. The substrates investigated were methanimine and cyanogen where endergonic unstable molecules were formed, and the clustering of carbon monoxideon a porphin surface leading to the formation of carbon - carbon fragments. TheFaraday effect was invoked to suggest that this was the original method by which thechirality of the D-sugars was selected. Coordination of imino-compounds on thesame surface involving induction and electrostatic interactions could lead to the preferential formation of L-aziridones, hydrolysable to L-amino-acids.The preferred formation of D-ribose, and the more stable D-2-deoxyribose, andnucleotides polymerisable to deoxyribonucleic acids was described. The second group of van der Waals complexes involved the polymerisation of acetylene molecules, to di- and tri-acetylene complexes where the exchange interaction involved the quadrupole moment of the acetylene radical reacting with acetylene or diacetylene. The reaction of carbon monoxide was extended to include its interaction with diacetylene. The entire potential energy surface for the interaction with diacetylene was investigated. The reaction was shown to be endergonic to produce a reactive species, here postulated to rearrange with a reasonable activation energy toform an aldehyde. The energetics of the formation of diacetylene, triacetylene andhigher polymers was briefly investigated. The reactivity of the acetylene polymeraldehydes with other substrates was briefly investigated. This work has apparently laid a firm basis both, qualitative and quantitative, tounderstand some of the weakest interactions in nature involving the simplest ofreactions that have been important in atmospheric chemistry.

Estudo de uma nova rota sintética para o fármaco (R)-baclofen / Investigation of a New Synthetic Route to (R)-Baclofen

Giovana Cappio Barazzone 06 December 2007 (has links)
O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi a investigação da viabilidade de uma nova rota sintética para a obtenção do fármaco Baclofen em sua forma enantiopura. A etapa principal da rota sintética por nós proposta consiste na síntese de uma aziridina de estereoquímica cis, utilizando uma nova metodologia, desenvolvida em nosso laboratório pelo emprego da catálise de transferência de fase (CTF). Para a obtenção da aziridina apropriada, tornou-se necessário preparar de maneira estereosseletiva, a (2S, 3R)-(4-clorofenil)-serina. Este precursor seria adequado, uma vez que, em estudos preliminares, verificamos que o fechamento do aziridínico ocorre sem racemização dos estereocentros presentes na molécula. Inicialmente, tentamos obter o β-hidróxi-α-aminoácido desejado pela reação de adição aldólica de uma imina do éster terc-butílico da glicina com o 4-clorobenzaldeído, em condições de catálise de transferência de fase assimétrica. Tais reações não apresentaram estereosseletividade. Porém, apesar de gerarem dois produtos diastereoméricos racêmicos, estes são de interesse, uma vez que um deles é uma oxazolidina cis inédita. Para a obtenção da (2S, 3R)-(4-clorofenil)-serina, optamos pelo emprego de uma metodologia alternativa, que consistiu em efetuar a reação aldólica do p-clorobenzaldeído com a glicina, sob a forma de um complexo de quiral de níquel (II). Uma vez obtido o ß-hidróxi-α-aminoácido, efetuamos a reação de aziridinização, seguida da abertura do anel heterocíclico com malonato de dietila, o que resultou na obtenção da (2S,3R) 4-carboetóxi-3-(4-clorofenil)-1-tosil-piroglutamato de metila, que consiste em uma mistura de diastereoisômeros, mas de estereoquímica definida nos carbonos 2 e 3. A hidrólise dos grupos ésteres deste composto, seguida de mono-descarboxilação do diácido resultante, conduziu ao ácido 3-(4-clorofenil)-1-tosil-piroglutâmico opticamente ativo, em 17% a partir da aziridina. As etapas finais de transformação de transformação deste intermediário no fármaco Baclofen não foram efetuadas. No entanto, consistem em reações bem descritas na literatura e freqüentemente utilizadas em outras rotas visando a síntese do mesmo fármaco. / In this work, the feasibility of a new synthetic route to Baclofen was investigated. The starting material, a cis-aziridine, was prepared by ring closure of (2S,3R)-(4-clorophenyl)- serine, under phase transfer conditions (PTC). As for the preparation of the required ß- hydroxy-α-aminoacid, two alternative synthetic strategies were investigated. (i) the PTC aldol addition of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde to the benzophenone imine of the tert-butyl ester of glycine, using chiral catalysts, or (ii) the aldol addition of the same aldehyde to a chiral nickel (II) complex of glycine. The first mentioned reaction failed to yield enantiomerically pure aldol adducts, although a cis oxazolidina, not yet described in the literature, could be isolated and fully characterized. Using a newly prepared nickel complex, bearing (R)-proline as ligand, (2S,3R)-(4-chlorophenyl)-serine could be prepared and subsequentely transformed into the corresponding aziridina. Ring opening of heterocycle, using diethylmalonate as nucleophile, afforded N-tosyl-4-carbethoxy-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl pyroglutamate as a mixture of diastereomers but with defined stereochemistry at C-2 and C-3. Hydrolysis and mono- decarboxalation led to the corresponding N-tosyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-pyroglutamic acid, exhibiting optical activity. This valuable intermediate could be prepared in 17% from the starting aziridina and can be further transformed into the γ-aminoacid Baclofen using fully investigated and well described procedures.

Neue binäre CN-Verbindungen sowie Vorläufersubstanzen von monomerem C3N4

Richter, Sebastian 24 November 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit sind Versuche zur Synthese neuer binärer Kohlenstoffnitride im Allgemeinen und von C3N4-Vorläuferverbindungen im Speziellen. Hierbei werden v. a. die Herstellung und die Eigenschaften organischer Polyazide beschrieben, die aufgrund ihrer Gefährlichkeit durch zahlreiche Folgereaktionen in weniger brisante Moleküle überführt werden mussten. Als Derivatisierungsreaktionen kamen hierbei beispielsweise die 1,3-dipolare Cycloaddition mit Norbornen und Cyclooctin, die STAUDINGER-Reaktion mit verschiedenen Phosphinen sowie die Aza-WITTIG-Reaktion zum Einsatz. Es konnten dabei u. a. zehn Röntgeneinkristallstrukturen erhalten und als Strukturbeweis aufgeführt werden. Zahlreiche hochaufgelöste Massenspektren sowie Elementaranalysen und NMR-Daten bestätigten außerdem alle neu erhaltenen Strukturen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit stellen Versuche zur Synthese von monomerem C3N4 dar, dessen Herstellung zwar nicht gelang, für dessen Bildung allerdings neue Möglichkeiten ausgehend von verschiedenen Edukten beschrieben werden. Darüber hinaus wurden bereits bekannte Moleküle auf ihre Eignung als C3N4-Vorläufer untersucht, wobei z. B. durch Azid-Addition an Nitrilgruppen unerwartete neue Produkte erhalten werden konnten.

DEVELOPMENT OF MASS SPECTROMETRIC METHODS FOR FAST IDENTIFICATION OF MUTAGENIC DRUG IMPURITIES AND A GAS-PHASE REACTIVITY STUDY OF GROUND-STATE SINGLET OXENIUM CATIONS VIA ION-MOLECULE REACTIONS

Ruth Anyaeche (17449233) 27 November 2023 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Tandem mass spectrometry (MS<sup>n</sup>) has become the most widely used analytical technique for the chemical characterization of unknown organic compounds in complex mixtures. It has led to the development of a large number of mass spectrometers with different mass analyzers as well as a wide array of ionization methods. This technique can be coupled with a diverse range of chromatography methods, such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Some of the primary strengths of MS include its great sensitivity, its versatility to seamlessly integrate with various chromatography techniques and its flexibility in the sense of access to different mass analyzers and different ionization methods. During MS experiments, analytes are evaporated and ionized and the resulting ions are separated based on their mass-to-charge (<i>m/z</i>) ratios and then detected. On the other hand, MS<sup>n</sup> experiments involve isolating a specific ion of interest from all other ions and subjecting them to reactions such as collision-activated dissociation (CAD) or ion-molecule reactions. These reactions generate product ions that can be used to obtain structural information for the analyte. In addition, MS<sup>n</sup> experiments can be used to generate and study the chemical properties of reaction intermediates, such as oxenium cations. </p><p dir="ltr">The mass spectrometer and the ionization source used to perform the research discussed in this thesis are described in Chapter 2. After this, the development of experiments involving ion-molecule reactions accompanied by collision-activated dissociation in a linear quadrupole ion trap is discussed, with the goals of differentiating the aziridine functionality from structurally related functional groups, such as the amino group and identifying aromatic aldehyde functionalities in protonated oxygen-containing monofunctional analytes. The integration of machine learning with mass spectral data has become an increasingly prevalent and valuable way to interpret data faster and more accurately without human bias than conventional manual approaches. Chapter 5 discusses combining machine learning-guided automated HPLC analysis coupled with MS<sup>n</sup> experiments based on diagnostic ion-molecule reactions for the structural elucidation of unknown compounds. Finally, experimental and computational studies on the gas-phase reactivity of quinoline-based ground-state singlet oxenium cations are discussed.</p>
