Abstract: | The solvent effect on the Gibbs energy of activation for rotation around the (C=O)–N bond in cyclohexyl N,N-dimethylcarbamate was investigated by dynamic NMR spectroscopy and density-functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level. The experimental barriers were about 15 kcal mol−1 with no appreciable variation when the solvent polarity was changed. A reaction field model was applied to theoretically mediate the solvent effect and the results were comparable to the experimental data. An analysis, based on the Onsager solvation theory, showed that the solvent effect on rotational barriers can be understood employing the total molecular dipole moment, the difference between the dipole moments of the ground and the transition state structures, or both, as appropriate. |
