Department of Fine Organic Synthesis

Ihor Gerus

Head of Department
Doctor of Chemical Sciences

The history of the department dates back to 1970, when a thematic group headed by a young Candidate of Chemical Sciences, Valery Kukhar, was formed within the Department of Organoelement Isocyanate Chemistry of the Institute of Organic Chemistry (Head of the Department: Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR Academy, O.V. Kirsanov). In 1974, the abovementioned group expanded into a new Department of Chemistry of Polyhalogenated Organics from the discontinued Department of Synthesis of Growth-Activating Substances. In addition to chemists, the newly formed department included biologists who studied the physiological activity of synthesised compounds in plants. In 1983, by a resolution of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, the Department of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Institute of Organic Chemistry was established, which included a research department that, after being renamed, received its current name, the Department of Fine Organic Synthesis. In 1986, the department was transferred to the newly established Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (since 1989, the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR ). From 1986 to 2017, the department was headed by an Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Valery Kukhar. Since 2017, the Department of Fine Organic Synthesis has been headed by his student, Doctor of Chemical Sciences Ihor I. Gerus.

The Department includes Laboratory No. 1.1 of Synthesis of Physiologically Active Phosphorus Compounds

The primary scientific activity of the Department involves the development of methods for the targeted synthesis of phosphorus- and fluorine-containing isoelectronic and bioisosteric structural analogues of natural compounds. Scientists of the Department have found that the introduction of fluorine atoms into the structure of molecules does not lead to significant changes in the spatial structure of organic molecules since the sizes of hydrogen and fluorine atoms are very close, but the special electronic properties of the fluorine atom and fluorine-containing groups often lead to fundamental and positive changes in the chemical behaviour and biological activity of compounds. Another interesting and promising area of the Department's work is the synthesis and study of organophosphorus molecules containing fluorine fragments.

Main scientific and practical achievements of the Department

 

Methods for the synthesis of 7-(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizines and bicyclic trifluoromethyl-containing pyrroles, which are effective synthetic antimicrobial agents with a broad spectrum of action, including against multidrug-resistant gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial pathogens, have been developed.

Effective methods for the synthesis of fluorine-containing polyfunctionalised derivatives of tetrahydrofuran, pyrrole, tetrahydrothiophene, cyclopentane, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and spiro[3.3]heptane have been developed.

An efficient synthesis of ω-CF3O-substituted aliphatic sulfonyl chlorides has been developed. The deoxofluorination of aromatic and heteroaromatic acids with sulfur tetrafluoride was carried out to obtain trifluoromethyl-containing compounds that can be used as starting materials for the synthesis of new fluorinated amino acids, anilines and aliphatic amines. The reactions of trifluoromethyl-containing acrylonitrile and acrylate derivatives in [2+2], [3+2], [4+2] cycloaddition reactions, which are key to the synthesis of new trifluorinated amino acids, promising analogues of biologically active natural compounds, have been studied.

A method has been developed for the preparation of fluorinated cyclic enones, which are promising building blocks for the synthesis of various potentially bioactive compounds. The obtained enones react readily with an excess of secondary amines to form intramolecular electrocyclization products, cyclopentenones, the structure of which has been proved by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

A convenient method for the synthesis of new aryl-difluoromethyl substituted β-alkoxyenones was proposed, which were subsequently used in the synthesis of a number of potentially biologically active heterocycles: pyrazoles, isoxazoles and pyrimidines with aryl(heteraryl)difluoromethylene substituents.

A convenient method for the synthesis of azithidine-containing compounds, which can be regarded as ‘stretched’ bioisosteres of six-membered heterocycles by their structural properties, has been developed.

The fluorination of readily available β-alkoxy-enones was developed using commercial reagents XeF2 and BF3 Et2O (as a catalyst), and new α-fluoro-β-alkoxy-enones were obtained. The synthesised compounds were used for the preparation of new fluorinated dihydropyrans and pyrazoles and are promising precursors in the synthesis of fluorinated sugars

A detailed study of the kinetics of the reactions of different spatial forms of β-substituted alkoxyvinyltrifluoromethyl ketones with secondary amines was conducted on the example of the reaction of different enone conformers 4-ethoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-methylbut-3-en-2-one with diethyl amine. It is shown that this enone exists in three main conformers in solutions: E-s-E-o-E-cis and E-s-Z-o-E-cis and E-s-E-o-E-gosh.

A series of fluorinated analogues of γ-aminobutyric acid GABA (the most important neurotransmitter of the human central nervous system), which are isosters of the existing commercial drug Pregabalin, were synthesised.
