Abstract Al-Omari, Mohammad Synthesis of Alkynes from Bi-3H-diazirin-3-yls: Trapping of Strained Cycloalkynes Chemnitz Technical University, Fakulty of Science Dissertation 2003, 76 pages. In this study, we have succeeded in synthesis of alkynes by a new method using bidiazirines as precursors. Different bidiazirinyl systems, such as acyclic, cyclic, and bicyclic systems, were investigated to show if they could serve as appropriate precursors for cycloalkynes. It has been shown that alkynes of no strain (e.g. 2-butyne) as well as extremely strained cycloalkynes (e.g. norbornyne) could be generated utilizing this method. This new method represents a simple, clean, and very efficient route to alkynes. That the strained cycloalkynes had actually been generated was shown by different trapping experiments. In these experiments, the thermal or photoextrusion of nitrogen atoms of the bidiaziridine moieties will certainly leads to the formation of a C,C triple bond, most probably through carbene intermediate. In terms of their reactions with the trapping dienes reagents, the generated cycloalkynes should be considered as normal, yet strained alkynes. In turn, bidiazirines were easily synthesized by oxidative dehydrogenation of their corresponding bidiaziridines. Bidiaziridines, which were the key step in the whole process, were successfully synthesized from bisdiimine precursors. It has been shown, that bisdiimines were the only suitable starting materials for the synthesis of bidiaziridines. Neither the diketones, nor the iminoketone derivatives proved to serve as appropriate starting materials. keywords: 1,2-diketon, 1,2-diimines, bidiaziridin, bidiazirin, strained cycloalkynes, Norbornyne, trapping agents, cycloaddition. / Bibliographische Beschreibung und Referat Al-Omari, Mohammad Synthesis of Alkynes from Bi-3H-diazirin-3-yls: Trapping of Strained Cycloalkynes Technische Universität Chemnitz, Fakultät für Naturwissenschaften Dissertation 2003, 76 Seiten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine neue Methode zur Synthese von Alkinen beschrieben. Ausgehend von acyclischen, mono- und bicyclischen 1,2-difunktionalisierten Vorläufern wurden Bidiazirine synthetisiert und deren Eignung als Precursoren für Alkine untersucht. Dabei musste festgestellt werden, dass sich weder von 1,2-Diketonen noch von Iminoketonen die als Zwischenprodukte benötigten Bidiaziridine direkt darstellen ließen. Der einzige erfolgreiche Syntheseweg führte über die 1,2-Diimine zu Diastereomeren-Gemischen der gewünschten Bidiaziridine. Die Oxidation der Bidiaziridine lieferte die Bidiazirine, welche als Vorstufen für die Synthese von Alkinen dienten. So konnten auf diesem Wege sowohl spannungsfreie lineare Alkine wie 2-Butin als auch extrem gespannte Cycloalkine wie Cyclohexin oder Norbornin synthetisiert werden. Der spektroskopische Nachweis der Alkine erfolgte dabei direkt bzw. über verschiedene Abfangprodukte.

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are important tools for generating chiral α-hydroxyketones. Previously, only the ADH of Thauera aromatica was known to convert cyclic α-diketones with appropriate preference. Here, we extend the spectrum of suitable enzymes by three alcohol dehydrogenases from Citrifermentans bemidjiense (CibADH), Deferrisoma camini (DecADH), and Thauera phenylacetica (ThpADH). Of these, DecADH is characterized by very high thermostability; CibADH and ThpADH convert α-halogenated cyclohexanones with increased activity. Otherwise, however, the substrate spectrum of all four ADHs is highly conserved. Structural considerations led to the conclusion that conversion of diketones requires not only the expansion of the active site into a large binding pocket, but also the circumferential modification of almost all amino acid residues that form the first shell of the binding pocket. The constellation appears to be overall highly specific for the relative positioning of the carbonyl functions and the size of the C-ring.

Le contrôle spatial et temporel de l'auto-assemblage de molécules fluorescentes en nano-objets organisés et en matériaux mous a été réalisé par photochimie.La photodécarbonylation quantitative du progélifiant dkDDOA sous irradiation génère le super gélifiant 2,3-didécyloxyanthracène (DDOA) à température ambiante et simultanément gélifie le DMSO. DkDDOA est réactif sous excitation avec de la lumière bleue en raison de la fonction alpha-dicétone sensible à la lumière qui est ajoutée au noyau aromatique. De plus,l’ajustement de la couleur de l'émission du gel du bleu au vert a été obtenu en ajoutant un dérivé 1,2-dicétone-5,12-diphényltétracène photo réactif qui donne un 5,12-diphényltétracène émissif vert sensibilisé par un transfert d'énergie efficace.Sous un microscope, l'irradiation laser focalisée permet la structuration de nanofibres émissives sur une surface de verre. Bien que la surface de verre soit non traitée, on peut obtenir des micropattern de nanofibres de DDOA hautement alignées. Ces surfaces émettent une lumière bleue polarisée linéairement, comme le prouve la microscopie de polarisation. L'anisotropie élevée et l'orientation des fibres ont été obtenues en contrôlant la densité de nucléation et la direction de balayage du laser focalisé. Des micropattern orientés perpendiculairement peuvent ainsi être juxtaposés sur la même surface. / The spatial and temporal control of the self-assembly of fluorescent molecules into organized nano-objects and into soft materials was achieved by photochemistry. The quantitative photodecarbonylation of the progelator dkDDOA under irradiation generates the supergelator 2,3-didecyloxyanthracene (DDOA) at room temperature and simultaneously gelates DMSO. dkDDOA is reactive under excitation withblue light due to the light sensitive alpha-diketone moiety that is added to the aromatic core.Additional colour-tuning from blue to green emission from the gel was achieved by adding a similar photoreactive 1,2-diketone-5,12-diphenyltetracene that yields a green emissive 5,12-diphenyltetracene sensitized through an efficient energy transfer. Under a microscope, focused laser irradiation enables the patterning of blue-emissive nanofibers on to a glass surface. Although the surface is non-treated, micropatterns of highly aligned DDOA nanofibers can be obtained. These surfaces emit linearly polarized blue light,as proven with polarization microscopy. The high anisotropy and the orientation of the fibers was achieved by controlling the nucleation density and the direction of scanning of the focused laser. Perpendicularly oriented micropatterns can thereby be juxtaposed on the same surface.

La salvinorine A est un néoclérodane naturel possédant une forte affinité pour les récepteurs opioïdes kappa. Tout comme elle, de nombreux terpénoïdes bioactifs naturels, tels que l’acide hardwickiique, possèdent une chaîne latérale 2-(furan-3-yl)-éthyle en position 9. L’introduction de cette chaîne sur le squelette décaline est actuellement reportée dans la littérature en 3 à 8 étapes formelles et nécessitent souvent une dérivatisation préalable des autres fonctionnalités, diminuant ainsi la possibilité d’accéder à plusieurs analogues à partir d’un seul intermédiaire. L’objectif de ce travail a été de développer une méthode d’introduction efficace et diastéréosélective de ce motif à partir de la dicétone de Wieland-Miescher C(9)-méthylée (DWM). Ceci a été envisagé afin d’accéder à un intermédiaire commun peu fonctionnalisé pouvant ensuite être dérivatisé en de nombreux analogues naturels ou synthétiques. Pour cela, plusieurs stratégies ont été envisagées et testées mais l’introduction du motif désiré n’a pas été possible. L’une d’elle a tout de même permis de synthétiser de manière fortuite un nouveau composé, l’α-iodocétone de la DWM. Des essais de dérivatisation ont été effectués et sont toujours en cours de développement. Une stratégie d’aldolisation de Mukaiyama en présence de l’éther d’énol silylé de la DWM et de divers acétals a également été mise au point et permet d’accéder de manière diastéréosélective en 2 étapes à 36 nouveaux aldols simples, silylés, méthylés ou bien encore benzylés comportant différentes chaînes latérales en position C(9) avec des rendements compris entre 9 et 97%. Des fonctionnalisations ultérieures ont ensuite été entrepris sur certains intermédiaires dans l’optique de synthétiser deux sesquiterpénoïdes naturels, le (+)-auréol et la (+)-strongyline A. / The natural neoclerodane salvinorin A exhibits a great affinity for kappa opioid receptors. Several other bioactive natural terpenoids, such as hardwickiic acid, are also bearing a 2-(furan-3-yl)-ethyl chain at position 9. The introduction of this chain is usually performed with 3 to 8 formal synthetic steps. Derivatization of other functionalities is often mandatory in order to meet the chemoselectivity requirements, and is preventing the possibility to access multiple analogues. The aim of this work was to develop an efficient and diastereoselective method to introduce this lateral chain at C(9) position of the C(9)-methylated Wieland-Miescher diketone (DWM) in order to access many natural or synthetic analogues from a common intermediate. Several strategies were designed, but the introduction of the ethyl-3-furyl chain remained unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the new α-iodoketone of the DWM was obtained by serendipity during this work. Experiments in order to derive this compound are still under investigation. A Mukaiyama aldol reaction strategy was set up and permit a diastereoselective access to 36 new aldols (simple, silylated, methylated or benzylated), bearing different lateral chains at C(9) position, with 9 to 97% yield. Further functionalization of two aldols were undertaken in order to synthesize two natural sesquiterpenoids, the (+)-aureol and the (+)-strongylin A.

[pt] Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta como proposta a investigação, a síntese e a caracterização de novos complexos baseados em terras-raras para aplicação em diodos orgânicos emissores de luz (OLEDs). Para isto, três complexos beta-dicetonatos de Európio foram estudados. O foco da investigação consistiu nos dois novos complexos [Eu(hfac)3dpso] e [Eu(hfac)3dbso], sintetizado pelo nosso grupo, cuja principal diferença consistiu em avaliar o comportamento do complexo [Eu(hfac)3X], em função de dois ligante ancilares: dpso e dbso. O que poderá implicar na variação da absorção do complexo e também no processo de transferência de energia dos ligantes para o íon de Európio. Além disso, um terceiro complexo comercial [Eu(dbm)3phen] foi empregado com o objetivo de ser utilizado como referência para a fabricação e a otimização da arquitetura dos OLEDs. Estes complexos beta-dicetonatos com ligantes ancilantes coordenados por N ou O foram caracterizados através de diferentes técnicas (ótica, eletroquímica e morfológica), sob a forma de filmes finos e em pó. A partir do estudo e da otimização do OLED baseado no complexo [Eu(dbm)3phen] se chegou a arquitetura que apresentou um compromisso entre a performance do OLED e o grau de complexidade associado a fabricação. A camada emissora se baseou na técnica de codeposição, onde uma matriz Spiro-2CBP foi escolhida de tal forma que: 1) a energia possa ser transferida para o dopante, no caso, [Eu(dbm)3phen] e 2) que a mobilidade efetiva no transporte de portadores de carga aumente em relação a baixa mobilidade comum em complexos de beta-dicetonas. A arquitetura otimizada foi ITO/ MoO3(10nm)/TAPC(30nm)/ Spiro-2CBP:[Eu(dbm)3phen] (30nm, 10 porcento)/ TPBi(40nm)/LiF(0.1nm)/ Al(100nm). A partir desta arquitetura, foram fabricados os outros dispositivos OLEDs com os complexos [Eu(hfac)3dpso] e [Eu(hfac)3dbso]. Em estudo comparativo, de acordo com as medidas de eficiência fotométrica de corrente (EFC), verificou-se que o OLED baseado no complexo de [Eu(hfac)3dpso] apresentou uma eficiência superior ao OLED com [Eu(hfac)3dbso] apresentando um ganho de 7.5 porcento, para uma densidade de corrente em torno de 75mA/cm2. Em resumo, considerando os resultados dos OLEDs e também da disposição dos níveis de energia tripleto dos ligantes hfac, dbso e dpso, verifica-se que ambas indicam que o complexo [Eu(hfac)3dpso] apresente um melhor desempenho que o complexo [Eu(hfac)3dbso]. / [en] This master thesis presents as research, manufacture and characterization of new rare-earth-based complexes for application in light-emitting organic diodes (OLEDs). For this, three europium beta-dicetonated complexes were studied. The focus of the investigation was the two new complexes, [Eu(hfac)3dpso] and [Eu(hfac)3dbso], synthesized in our group, whose main difference was to evaluate the behavior of the complex [Eu(hfac)3X], as a function of two ancillary ligands: dpso and dbso. This may imply variations in the absorption of the complex and also in the process of energy transfer from ligands to the Europium ion. Also, a third commercial complex [Eu(dbm)3phen] was employed as a reference for the manufacture and optimization of OLED architecture. These beta-diketonated complexes with N or O coordinated binding ligands were characterized by different techniques (optical, electrochemical and morphological) in both thin film and powder form. From the study of OLED optimization based on the complex [Eu(dbm)3phen], the architecture that presented a compromise between the OLED s performance and the degree of complexity associated with its fabrication. The emitter layer was based on the co-deposition technique, where a Spiro-2CBP matrix was chosen because: 1) good energy transfer to the dopant, in this case [Eu(dbm)3phen] and 2) the effective charge mobility in the co-deposited layer is higher than the common mobility in beta-diketone complexes. The optimized architecture was ITO / MoO3 (10nm) / TAPC (30nm) / Spiro-2CBP: [Eu(dbm)3phen] (30nm, 10 percent) / TPBi (40nm) / LiF (0.1nm) / Al (100nm). From this architecture other OLEDs devices were fabricated with the complex [Eu(hfac)3dpso] and [Eu(hfac)3dbso]. The comparative study, according to the current efficiency measurements, found that the [Eu(hfac)3dpso] complex-based OLED had higher efficiency than the [Eu(hfac)3dbso] OLED with a gain of 7.5 percent for a current density of around 75mA /cm2. In summary, considering the OLED results and also the arrangement of the triplet energy levels of the hfac, dbso and dpso ligands, both imply that the [Eu(hfac)3dpso] complex has a better performance than the complex [Eu(hfac)3dbso].
