Abstract:

Chlorin derivatives have attracted considerable attention over the last three decades in different scientific fields. These compounds are present in a large number of bacteria, fungi and in all plants found on Earth. Since the discovery of these pigments, chemists, biologists, medical professionals and materials scientists have devoted pronounced efforts in order to develop new synthetic methods and discover useful applications for these compounds. In this review we wish to cover the main natural chlorins, their natural sources, synthetic approaches to access these compounds, and the major applications.

Keywords:

Chlorin, chlorophylls, porphyrinoid, PDT, solar cells and natural dyes.

Affiliation: Department of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Institute of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, 1-2-3 Kasumi, Minami-ku, Hiroshima 734-8553, Japan.

Abstract

A combination of DFT calculations and MD simulations provides a powerful tool for selecting the most favorable precursor in disconnection analysis of macrolactones that are comprised of several hydroxy acid subunits. The results of examination of the approach for the synthesis of prunustatin A (1) and the application to the synthesis of neoantimycin (2) are described.

Keywords: 

Neoantimycin, Prunustatin A, Macrocyclization, DFT calculation, MD simulation.
