Insights into the Structures of Bilirubin and Biliverdin from Vibrational and Electronic Circular Dichroism: History and Perspectives. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062564. [PMID: 36985535 PMCID: PMC10054127 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work we review research activities on a few of the most relevant structural aspects of bilirubin (BR) and biliverdin (BV). Special attention is paid to the exocyclic C=C bonds being in mostly Z rather than E configurations, and to the overall conformation being essentially different for BR and BV due to the presence or absence of the double C=C bond at C-10. In both cases, racemic mixtures of each compound of either M or P configuration are present in achiral solutions; however, imbalance between the two configurations may be easily achieved. In particular, results based on chiroptical spectroscopies, both electronic and vibrational circular dichroism (ECD and VCD) methods, are presented for chirally derivatized BR and BV molecules. Finally, we review deracemization experiments monitored with ECD data from our lab for BR in the presence of serum albumin and anesthetic compounds.

Abstract
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic species, transfer protons, and engage in a range of other intermolecular interactions. The use of this solvent has exponentially increased in the past decade and has become a solvent of choice in some areas, such as C-H functionalization chemistry. In this review, following a brief history of HFIP in organic synthesis and an overview of its physical properties, literature examples of organic reactions using HFIP as a solvent or an additive are presented, emphasizing the effect of solvent of each reaction.
