Influence of structural elements on iron(III) chelating properties in a new series of amino acid-derived monohydroxamates
Abstract A series of amino acid-derived monohydroxamate compounds A1 – A7 was synthesized and characterized for their coordination properties of Fe(III). The series varies in their skeletal lengths and compositions; some compounds lack external substituents, others are substituted with external functional amino or carboxylic groups, or alternatively inert methyl. Undertaken investigations allowed the determination of stoichiometry, stability constants and spectroscopic parameters of formed ferric complexes. Incorporation of an external functional group with a dissociable proton affects the coordination behavior; the presence of carboxylic or amino groups hampers the formation of mono-, di- …
The diversity and utility of arylthiazoline and aryloxazoline siderophores: challenges of total synthesis
Siderophores are unique ferric ion chelators produced and secreted by some organisms like bacteria, fungi and plants under iron deficiency conditions. These molecules possess immense affinity and specificity for Fe3+ and other metal ions, which attracts great interest due to the numerous possibilities of application, including antibiotics delivery to resistant bacteria strains. Total synthesis of siderophores is a must since the compounds are present in natural sources at extremely small concentrations. These molecules are extremely diverse in terms of molecular structure and physical and chemical properties. This review is focused on achievements and developments in the total synthesis str…
