説明

To elucidate the origin of differences in the monomeric properties of chlorophyll a and a (Chl a/a; C132-(R/S)-epimers of Chl a), a series of Zn-Chl derivatives possessing a variety of C134 substituents were prepared. The (S)-epimers gave absorption and emission bands at slightly longer wavelengths than the corresponding (R)-epimers. The (S)-epimers had more intense CD peaks than the (R)-epimers. In comparison with Zn-Chl a/a (C134-Me), Zn-Chl with a bulky 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyl moiety at the C134-position showed a greater difference between the 13C NMR chemical shifts of the epimers. These spectral differences between the (R)- and (S)-epimers were attributed to ruffling of the chlorin macrocycle, arising from a steric repulsion between the C132 and C17 moieties. The trend of the rate constant of epimerization, isomerization at the C132 position, in the C134-substituted Zn-Chls is in line with the above interpretation. The relationship between the spectroscopic and kinetic results and the distortion of the macrocycle is schematically represented.
