Inducing anti-Conformers of Biliverdin Chromophores by Reducing Sterical Hindrance
摘要:
Two different types of conformational changes of the biliverdin chromophore were accomplished by the concept of reducing sterical hindrance. On one hand, model compounds unsubstituted at position 7 and/or 13 adopt the semi-extended geometry with anti-conformation of the dipyrrinone moiety. On the other hand, stretching of the chromophore with anti-conformation of the dipyrrin substructure was achieved with a model compound unsubstituted at position 12. Both kinds of anti-conformations have been proved by 2D NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Transfer of sterical hindrance from the periphery to the center of biliverdins by placing a methyl group at N23 and hydrogens at the beta-carbons in position 12 and 13 changes the conformation of the chromophore from (10syn, 4syn) to (10anti,14anti). Additional reduction of sterical hindrance by placing a further hydrogen at the beta-carbon in position 8 induces a change in configuration from (9Z) to (9E).
