Aus diesem Grund ist die einfache Darstellung dieser Struktureinheit von großen Interesse in der organischen Chemie. Das erste Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war daher die Weiterentwicklung der Ringschlussmetathese-/ baseninduzierten Ringöffnungs-/ Veresterungssequenz (RBRV-Sequenz) zur Synthese von (2Z,4E)-Diencarbonsäureethylestern ausgehend von Butenoaten. Dazu wurde zunächst die RBRV-Sequenz optimiert. Diese aus drei Schritten bestehende Sequenz konnte in einem Eintopf-Verfahren angewendet werden. Die Ringschlussmetathese gelang mit einer Katalysatorbeladung von 1 mol% des GRUBBS-Katalysators der zweiten Generation in Dichlormethan. Für die baseninduzierte Ringöffnung des β,γ-ungesättigten δ Valerolactons wurde NaHMDS verwendet. Die Alkylierung der Carboxylatspezies gelang mit dem MEERWEIN-Reagenz. Die Anwendbarkeit der Sequenz wurde für verschiedene Substrate demonstriert. Die Erweiterung der Methode auf α-substituierte Butenoate unterlag starken Einschränkungen. So konnte der Zugang für α Hydroxyderivate realisiert werden. Bei der Anwendung der RBRV-Sequenz auf die α-substituierten Butenoate wurde festgestellt, dass diese sich nur in moderaten Ausbeuten umsetzen ließen und zudem nicht selektiv zu den (2E,4E)-konfigurierten α-substituierten-Dienestern reagierten. Der Einsatz von Eninen unter den Standardbedingungen der RBRV-Sequenz gelang nicht. Erst nach Modifizierung der Sequenz (höhere Katalysatorbeladung, Wechsel des Lösungsmittels) konnten die [3]Dendralen-Produkte in geringen Ausbeuten erhalten werden. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde der Einsatz von (2Z,4E)-Diencarbonsäureethylestern in der Totalsynthese von Naturstoffen untersucht. Dazu wurden zunächst die Transformationsmöglichkeiten der Ester geprüft. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich (2Z,4E)-Diencarbonsäureethylester insbesondere zur Synthese von (2Z,4E)-Aldehyden sowie zum Aufbau der (3Z,5E)-Dien-1-in-Struktur eignen. Anhand dieser Ergebnisse wurde im Anschluss die RBRV-Sequenz in der Totalsynthese eingesetzt. Dazu wurde zunächst der (2Z,4E)-Dienester Microsphaerodiolin in seiner ersten Totalsynthese auf drei verschiedene Routen hergestellt. Im Anschluss wurden sechs verschiedene Polyacetylene mit einer (3Z,5E)-Dien-1-in-Einheit hergestellt. Schlüsselschritte in ihrer Synthese waren immer die RBRV-Sequenz zum Aufbau der Z,E-Dien-Einheit, die Transformation des Esters in ein terminales Alkin sowie die CADIOT-CHODKIEWICZ-Kupplung zum Aufbau unsymmetrischer Polyine. Alle sechs Polyacetylene wurden zum ersten Mal in einer Totalsynthese synthetisiert. Drei Polyacetylene wurden ausgehend von (S)-Butantriol enantiomerenrein dargestellt. Anhand ihrer Drehwerte konnte eine Revision der von YAO und Mitarbeitern vorgenommen Zuordnung der Absolutkonfiguration der Naturstoffe vorgenommen werden. N2 - Z,E-Dienes are a common motif in natural products. Therefore their simple preparation is of high interest. The first part of this work focuses on the improvement of the one-pot sequence “RBRV” consisting of three steps: ring closing metathesis, base induced ring opening and esterification of butenoates. This method yields (2Z,4E) dienoic acid esters. As optimized conditions were found the use of Grubbs catalysts 2nd Generation in dichloromethane, NaHMDS as base and Meerwein’s reagent as alkylating agent. The extension of this method on α-substituted butenoates was subject to many restrictions. The synthesis of precursors was realized for α-hydroxy derivates only. Application of these substrates in the RBRV sequence gave the desired products in moderate yield and diminished selectivity. The use of enines was demonstrated as well. For these substrates changes of the conditions were necessary. The products, [3]dendralenes, were obtained in low yield and excellent selectivity. The second part of this thesis focuses on the application of the RBRV-sequence in the total synthesis of natural products with a Z,E-diene unit. For this purpose it was demonstrated how the ester function can be transformed. As result it was shown that especially Z,E-diene-alkynes can be easily synthesized from Z,E-diene esters. Based on these results the RBRV was used in the synthesis of some natural products. These include Microsphaerodiolin, Atractylodemayne A, C and F as well as three other, unnamed, polyacetylenes. All of them have been synthesized for the first time. Three of them were synthesized in enatioselective manner utilizing enantiopure 1,2,4-butane triole as starting material.

The synthesis combines the new and interesting DBD dye with the carbohydrate ligand mannose via a Click reaction. We demonstrate the binding to E. coli bacteria over a large concentration range and also present some special characteristics of those molecules that are of particular interest for the application as a biosensor. In particular, the mix-and-measure ability and the very good photo-stability should be highlighted here.

Suitable crystals for the X-ray analysis of the complexes 4 and 6 were obtained. It was shown that 6 has a shorter NHC-palladium bond than the IMes complex 4. The difference of the palladium carbene bond lengths based on the higher pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes in comparison to IMes. Thus, (CN)(2)IMes should stabilize the catalytically active central palladium atom better than IMes. As a measure for the pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes compared to IMes, the selone (CN)(2)IMes center dot Se (7) was prepared and characterized by Se-77-NMR spectroscopy. The pi-acceptor strength of 7 was illuminated by the shift of its Se-77-NMR signal. The Se-77-NMR signal of 7 was shifted to much higher frequencies than the Se-77-NMR signal of IMes center dot Se. Catalytic experiments using the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl chlorides with n-butyl acrylate showed that 6 is the superior performer in comparison to 4. Using complex 6, an extensive substrate screening of 26 different aryl bromides with n-butyl acrylate was performed. Complex 6 is a suitable precatalyst for para-substituted aryl bromides. The catalytically active species was identified by mercury poisoning experiments to be palladium nanoparticles.

A1 - Koch, Andreas A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich T1 - The effects of conformation and zwitterionic tautomerism on the structural and vibrational spectral data of anserine JF - Vibrational spectroscopy : an international journal devoted to applications of infrared and raman spectroscopy N2 - In this study, the stable conformers of neutral anserine were searched by molecular dynamics simulations and energy minimization calculations using the MM2 force field. Thermochemical calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory followed these preliminary calculations. The results confirmed that neutral anserine has quite a flexible structure and many stable gauche and trans conformers at room temperature. Nevertheless, two are considerably more favourable in energy than the others and expected to dominate the gas-phase and matrix IR spectra of the molecule. The corresponding structural and vibrational spectral data for these two conformers of neutral anserine, whose relative stabilities were also examined by high-accuracy energy calculations carried out using G3MP2B3 method, and for the most stable conformer of anserine in zwitterion form were calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The calculated harmonic force constants were refined using the Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field (SQM-FF) method and then used to produce the refined wavenumbers, potential energy distributions (PEDs) and IR and Raman intensities. These refined data together with the scaled harmonic wavenumbers obtained using another method, Dual Scale factors (DS), enabled us to correctly analyse the observed IR and Raman spectra of anserine and revealed the effects of conformation and zwitterionic tautomerism on its structural and vibrational spectral data.

These have been attributed to the presence of macronutrients, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids, among other secondary metabolites. There are, however, few reports on the antimicrobial activities of different classes of purified compounds from P. ostreatus. This led to the current study, the objective of which was to chemically characterize the antibiotic activities of P. ()streams against selected human pathogenic bacteria and endophytic fungi. Chemical structures were determined using spectroscopic methods and by comparison with values of related structures reported in the literature. Pure compounds from P. ostreatus were tested in vitro against pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and endophytic fungi (Pencillium digitatum and Fusarium prolferatum). A new compound, (E)-5,7-dimethoxy-6-(3-methylbuta-1,3-dienyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (5-methoxy-(E)-suberodiene) (compound 2), along with ergosterol (compound I.) and 5,7-dimethoxy-6-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (toddaculin; compound 3), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus. The growth of S. aureus,E proliferatum, and P. digitatum colonies was inhibited in media containing compound 2, with minimum inhibitory concentrations closely comparable to those of conventional antibiotics.

The syntheses were extended by using N-containing naphthol analogues such as 5-hydroxyisoquinoline and 6-hydroxyquinoline. The ring closures of the novel bifunctional compounds were also achieved, resulting in new naphth[2,1-e][1,3]oxazines, naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazines, isoquinolino[5,6-e][1,3]oxazines and quinolino[5,6-e][1,3]oxazines.

A1 - Linker, Torsten T1 - Enzymatic Cleavage of Aryl Acetates JF - ChemCatChem : heterogeneous & homogeneous & bio- & nano-catalysis ; a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe N2 - Seven enzymes have been screened for the cleavage of aryl acetates. Phenyl and naphthyl acetates react with lipases and esterases, whereas the sterically demanding anthracene acetate gave a conversion only with porcine liver esterase and esterase 2 from Bacillus subtilis (BS2). These two enzymes have been employed on a preparative (0.5 mmol) scale and afforded cleavage products in 91 and 94% yields, even for anthracene acetate. Thus, this method is superior to chemical cleavage with catalytic amounts of sodium methoxide (Zemplen conditions), which gave only low conversions. Finally, regioselectivity has been achieved with an anthracene bisacetate, in which an ethyl group controls the cleavage of the first acetate. This indicates that steric interactions play a crucial role in the enzymatic cleavage of aryl acetates, which might be interesting for future applications or the development of enzyme inhibitors.
