McGuire Date Dr. Ellen A. Keiter Date Date Abstract Title of Thesis: Azo Dyes Based on 1,10-Phenanthroline. Name: Minchong Mao Thesis directed by: Dr. Mark E. McGuire A series of new phenanthroline based azo-dye ligands, produced by diazotizing 5- amino-1, 10-phenanthroline (5-NHrphen) and then coupling this intermediate to a variety of coupling components, has been synthesized and characterized. The coupling components used were P-naphthol, phenol, and 2,6-dimethylphenol, and the three dye ligands were named phen-azo-P-naphthol, phen-azo-p-phenol, and phen-azo-2,6- dimethylphenol, respectively. 1H-NMR and IR spectra showed that the dyes exist primarily in the azo form in DMSO solution and as solids. UV-Vis spectra (in MeOH) showed intense (i:: =10 4 M-1cm- 1) absorptions ranging from 380 nm to 500 nm for these ligands. The ligand phen-azo-p-phenol has been coordinated to a Re(I) metal center through the phenanthroline linkage to form a stable polypyridyl complex, /ac-Re1(C0)3(phen-azo-p-phenol)Cl. When compared to the well-known complex/ac­ Re1(C0)3(phen)Cl, the new Re(I)-dye complex shows a greatly enhanced visible absorption band in the 3 70 - 400 nm range. This absorption is primarily due to a ligand­ centered transition in the coordinated phen-dye ligand. Preliminary emission spectra (in MeOH) reveal that/ac-Re1(C0)3(phen-azo-p-phenol)Cl, unlike its Re(I)-phen analog, does not emit. Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere and deep appreciation to Dr. Mark E. McGuire, my research advisor, for his knowledgeable guidance, great patience, and kind encouragement. I wish to thank Dr. Ellen A. Keiter for her help in instruction of operating the QE- 300 NMR spectrometer. Also, I would like to thank the faculty and staff of the Chemistry Department and the other members of our research group for their assistance. ii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................... i Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................. ii Table of Contents .............................................................................................................. iii List of Tables .................................................................................................................... v List of Figures .................................................................................................................. vi Chapter page 1.

    Chemoselective bioconjugation reactions of tyrosine residues for application in PET radiochemistry by Samantha Leier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Cancer Sciences Department of Oncology University of Alberta © Samantha Leier, 2018 ABSTRACT Achieving chemoselectivity while maintaining bioorthogonality are among some of the major challenges in bioconjugation chemistry. Bioconjugation chemistry has important applications in PET radiochemistry. While modern bioconjugation techniques rely predominantly on lysine and cysteine residues as targets for bioconjugation, other bioconjugation techniques that selectively target other amino acids would contribute greatly to the development of new PET radiotracers. Although only modestly prevalent and often buried within the protein structure, tyrosine represents an attractive target for bioconjugation. Tyrosine residues can be selectively targeted by both luminol derivatives and aryl diazonium salts. Luminol derivatives react via an ene-like reaction where as diazonium compounds react via electrophilic aromatic substitution to produce a stable conjugate. Recently, luminol derivatives have been reported for the introduction of fluorescent probes into proteins and diazonium salts have been reported for the introduction of radiometals into tyrosinamide-containing polymers. To the best of our knowledge, neither technique has been applied to PET radiotracer synthesis. Therefore, the aim of this project is the chemoselective introduction of radionuclides onto tyrosine residues under mild conditions. Specifically, we describe the preparation of 18F-labeled luminol derivatives as well as 64Cu- and 68Ga-labeled diazonium salts as novel building blocks for subsequent coupling with tyrosine residues under mild conditions. Luminol derivative N-(4-[18F]fluorobenzyl)-2-methyl-1,4-dioxo- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-phthalazine-6-carboxamide (29) was synthesized in 48% radiochemical yield.

Azo compounds display crucial properties for important applications, mainly for the chemical industry. Because of their discovery, the main application of aromatic azo compounds has been their use as dyes. These compounds are excellent candidates to function as molecular switches because of their efficient cis–trans isomerization in the presence of appropriate radiation. The classical methods for the synthesis of azo compounds are the azo coupling reaction (coupling of diazonium salts with activated aromatic compounds), the Mills reaction (reaction between aromatic nitroso derivatives and anilines) and the Wallach reaction (transformation of azoxybenzenes into 4-hydroxy substituted azoderivatives in acid media). More recently, other preparative methods have been reported. This critical review covers the various synthetic methods reported on azo compounds with special emphasis on the more recent ones and their mechanistic aspects (170 references). 1. Introduction delivery.6 Moreover, azobenzenes recently have been targeted for potential applications in areas of nonlinear optics, optical Aromatic azo compounds are widely used in the chemical storage media, chemosensors, liquid crystals,7 photochemical

  • Diazonium Compound
    Diazonium compound Diazonium compounds or diazonium salts are a group of organic + − compounds sharing a common functional group R−N2X where R can be any organic group, such as an alkyl or an aryl, and X is an inorganic or organic anion, such as a halogen. Benzenediazonium cation Contents General properties and reactivity Preparation Diazo coupling reactions Displacement of the N2 group Biaryl coupling Replacement by Halides Sandmeyer reaction Gatterman reaction Replacement by iodide Replacement by fluoride Miscellaneous Replacements Replacement by hydrogen Replacement by a hydroxyl group Replacement by a nitro group Replacement by a cyano group Replacement by a trifluoromethyl group Replacement by a thiol group Replacement by an aryl group Replacement by boronate ester group Meerwein reaction Metal complexes Other methods for dediazotization Grafting reactions Reduction to a hydrazine group Biochemistry Applications Other uses Safety See also References External links General properties and reactivity According to tabulated linear free energy relationship constants (e.g. Hammett σm and σp), the diazonium + group (N2 ) is among the most strongly electron-withdrawing substituents. Thus, the α position of alkyldiazonium species and acidic protons on diazonio-substituted phenols and benzoic acids have greatly reduced pKa values compared to their unsubstituted counterparts. For example, the aqueous pKa of methyldiazonium is estimated to be <10,[1] while that of the phenolic proton of 4-hydroxybenzenediazonium was measured to be 3.4.[2] In terms of reactivity, the chemistry of diazonium salts is dominated by their propensity to dediazotize via the thermodynamically (enthalpically and entropically) favorable expulsion of dinitrogen gas. The reaction + + + + (MeN2 → Me + N2) has an enthalpic change of 43 kcal/mol, while (EtN2 → Et + N2) has an enthalpic change of 11 kcal/mol.[3] For secondary and tertiary alkyldiazonium species, the enthalpic change is calculated to be close to zero or negative, with minimal activation barrier to expulsion of nitrogen.
