1H and 13C NMR study of the effects exerted by an oxirane ring in the epoxybicyclo-[2.2.2]octane series

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 2,3-disubstituted exo-5,6- and endo-5,6-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes, and the corresponding alkanes, have been investigated to determine the effects exerted by an oxirane ring. The ¹H NMR study showed that the anti protons, H-7a and H-8a, are significantly shielded and the syn protons, H-7s and H-8s, are deshielded, although to a smaller extent, by the exo-oxirane. An endo-oxirane has practically no effect on the same protons. The stereochemistry of epoxybicyclo[2.2.2]octanes is, thus, easily deduced from ¹H NMR data. The ¹³C NMR study of the epoxy compounds provided an estimate of the value of α, β, γ syn and γ anti effects (to the epoxide oxygen) of an oxirane ring. In these rigid bicyclic molecules, of known geometry, the γ syn and the γ anti effects are of the same value, even though the dihedral angles are very different (0° and 120°).     

Synthesis of (+)-1,3:2,5-dianhydroviburnitol ((+)-(1R,2R,3S,5R,6S)-4,7-dioxatricyclo[3.2.1.03,6]octan-2-ol)

Epoxidation of (?)-(1R,2R,4R)-2-endo-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-exo-yl acetate ((?)-5) followed by saponification afforded (+)-(1R,4R,5R,6R)-5,6-exo-epoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one ((+)-7). Reduction of (+)-7 with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAH) gave (+)-1,3:2,5-dianhydroviburnitol ( = (+)-(1R,2R,3S,4R,6S)-4,7-dioxatricyclo[3.2.1.0^3,6]octan-2-ol; (+)-3). Hydride reductions of (±)-7 were less exo-face selective than reductions of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one and its derivatives with NaBH₄, AlH₃, and LiAlH₄ probably because of smaller steric hindrance to endo-face hydride attack when C(5) and C(6) of the bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptan-2-one are part of an exo oxirane ring.     

New N-(Arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. Synthesis, 1H and 13C NMR Spectra,and Chemical Reactions

A synthesis of new N-(arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes obtained by reaction of stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes with arylsulfonyl chlorides is described. With the use of the data of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, including those of two-dimensional spectra recorded in COSY and NOESY mode, the contribution of stereochemical features of sulfonamides into the spectra structure of endo- and exo-isomers was evaluated. Applying various methods of the phase-transfer catalysis alkylation and acylation of the stereoisomeric arylsulfonamides containing a norbornene fragment was carried out. The reactions of alkylated stereoisomeric sulfonamides, N-(benzyl)-N-(3,4-dichlorophenylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, with peroxyphthalic acid provide epoxides; the orientation of substituents in the cage norbornene fragment does not affect the direction of the process. The structure of the products obtained by sulfonamides transformations was confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra.     

Etude par RMN 13C de quelques époxydes exo et endo dans la série du bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane

The ¹³C NMR spectral study of epoxy bicyclo [2.2.1]-heptanes reveals a strong influence on the chemical shift of the bridging ¹³C, due to the endo or exo orientation of the heterocyclic ring. The difference between the ¹³C and ¹H Δδ shows that the observed results cannot be explained by the ring current alone.     

Reactions of Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximides with Aromatic Azides

Reactions of N-substituted bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-endo-2,endo-3-dicarboximides with o- and p-nitrophenyl azides, as well as with p-nitrophenylsulfonyl azide and p-toluenesulfonyl azide, afforded the corresponding substituted dihydrotriazole (from aryl azides) and arylsulfonylaziridine derivatives (from sulfonyl azides). The exo orientation of the nitrogen-containing cyclic fragments (in keeping with the Alder rule) and endo orientation of the imide ring were confirmed by analysis of the IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The molecular structure of one of the products was examined by X-ray analysis.     

Reactions of p-Nitrophenyloxirane with Amines Containing Fragments with Bicyclic Skeleton

Reactions of p-nitrophenyloxirane with amines containing fragments with bicyclic skeleton of norbornene, norbornane, epoxynorbornane (stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, endo-5-(2-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, stereoisomeric exo- and endo-2-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, exo-5-aminomethyl-exo-2,3-epoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) were investigated. The aminolysis of p-nitrophenyloxirane occurred regioselectively according to Krasusky rule as was proved by ¹H and ¹³C NMR data. As shown by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy the oxyalkylation product obtained from N-benzyl-endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene was composed of two diastereomers originating from the presence of a chiral nitrogen atom in the rear part of the rigid bicyclic skeleton. New products of amino groups transformation in the molecules of hydroxyamines were obtained by reaction with p-methylbenzoyl chloride and p-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride. Regioselectivity of the attack of electrophilic reagents on the nitrogen in the hydroxyamines was confirmed by IR and ¹H NMR spectra of the products. The data on pharmacological activity tests of N-2-hydroxyethyl(p-nitrophenyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene are reported.     

Exo- und endo-Tricarbonyleisenkomplexe von bicyclischen 2,3-Dimethylidenverbindungen

Exo- and endo-Tricarbonyliron Complexes of Bicyclic 2,3-Dimethylidene Compounds. The preparation of exo- and endo-tricarbonyliron complexes (exo- and endo- 5 , -6 , -8 , and 9 ) of 2,3-dimethylidene-5-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene( 1 ), -bicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane ( 2 ), -5-bicyclo[2.2.2]octene ( 3 ) and -bicyclo[2.2.2]octane ( 4 ) is described. The complexes are obtained by thermal reaction of the bicyclic butadienes with di-ironenneacarbonyl in hexane solution. exo- and endo- 5 are also formed photochemically from ironpentacarbonyl and 1 in pentane solution at ?35°. The structural assignment of exo- and endo -5 and -6 is based on their mass-spectra and on coordination shifts in ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR.-spectra exo- and endo -6 are correlated with exo- and endo -5 , respectively, by hydrogenation. Hydrogenation of the uncomplexed double bond in exo- and endo -5 occurs in both complexes from the exo side as shown by deuteration experiments. The free ligand 1 reacts in the same stereospecific manner.     

NMR-Untersuchungen an Dicyclopentadienderivaten: II.—13C-NMR: γ-gauche-Effekt in Abhängigkeit von der exo/endo-Isomerie an Dicyclopentadien diolen

The ¹³C FT n.m.r. spectra of some exo- and endo-dihydro- and tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene-9,10-diols(exo/exo or endo/endo) are studied and the chemical shifts of the C-atoms are assigned by application of Eu(fod)₃ paramagnetic shift investigations and additional chemical shift parameters. Thus relatively strong γ-effects up to 12,8 ppm were observed for the C-atoms 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 1, 3, dependent on the exo/endo configuration of the OH-groups and the attached 5-ring, giving an interesting insight into the gemetry of these norbornane systems.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of four tertiary methyl norbornenols and norbornanols

Carbon chemical shifts and direct ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants of 2-endo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-exo-ol, 2-exo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-endo-ol, 2-endo-methylnorbornan-2-exo-ol and 2-exo-methylnorbornan-2-endo-ol have been measured from single samples using a dual probe pulse Fourier transform method.     

‘Lone Pair’ and ‘CI Bond’ Ionization Energies of exo- and endo-2-Norbornyl Iodides

A PE-spectroscopic study of exo- and endo-2-norbornyl iodides suggests that the relative ability of the 2-norbornyl group to stabilize an electron deficiency on a substituent X (e.g. I) in exo- or endo-position depends on the location of the positive charge. There is no difference if the positive hole is strongly localized on on the substituent X (e.g. the 5p^?1 state of the title compounds). On the other hand, our results indicate that teh positive hole semi-localized in an exo-C? X bond is better stabilized by the 2-norbornyl group than a semi-localized, positive hole in an endo-C? X bond.     

Investigation of the exo and endo isomers of dioxolane-type benzylidene derivatives of carbohydrates by 13C NMR spectroscopy

The absolute configurations of nine 2,3-O-benzylidene-α-L-rhamno- and α-D-mannopyranoside diasteteomeric pairs were determined and the ¹³C NMR spectra of further thirteen α-L-rhamno- and α-D-mannopyranosides, having various substituents, were completely assigned.Four ¹³C shifts were found suitable for the determination of the absolute configuration of the dioxolane skeleton. (1) The chemical shift of the acetal carbon in the endo isomers is between 103.9 and 104.7 ppm whereas for the exo isomers this region extends from 102.8 to 103.4 ppm; (2) The formation of the dioxolane ring causes a deshielding effect for the bridgehead carbons, in the exo isomers this effect is more pronounced for C-3 whereas in the endo isomers for C-2. For C-4, shielding effect was found in the exo isomers and deshielding effect in the endo ones; (3) The chemical shift of the quaternary carbon of the phenyl group is greater in the exo isomers than in the endo ones; (4) The difference between the shift of the acetal carbon and that of the quaternary carbon of the phenyl group in the exo isomers is greater than 35.4 ppm, in the endo isomers is less than 33.7 ppm.     

Stereochemische Aspekte der Addition von Ketenen an Cyclopentadien

Earlier work has shown that the cyclo-addition of a ketene to a conjugated diene is always (a) 2 + 2, (b) polarily directed, and (c) suprafacial with respect to the diene C?C. The adducts of ketenes and cyclopentadiene are thus always 7-substituted bicyclo [3.2.0] hept-2-ene-6-ones. New evidence is presented to show that unsymmetrically substituted ketenes add to cyclopentadiene in such a manner that the larger substituent has a greater tendency to take up the endo- position in the adduct. This is interpreted to mean that a ketene participates in such reactions antarafacially. Thus the ketene approaches cyclopentadiene (a) with its functional plane perpendicular to that of the ring, (b) with the carbonyl carbon over the middle of the ring, and (c) with the larger of the two substituents oriented preferentially away from the ring (transition state 11 ). This endo-specificity for the larger ketene substituent is demonstrated by the indicated endo/exo ratios observed in the cyclo-adducts from ketenes with the following substituent pairs: C₆H₅/H = >95/<5, CH₃/H = 98/2, Cl/H = 97/3, CH₃O/H = >95/<5, C₆H₅/CI = >95/<5, C₆H₅/CH₃ = >95/<5, CH₃/Cl = 80/20, CH₃/CH?CH₂ = ～65/35, C₂H₅/CH₃ = ～60/40, n-C₃H₇/CH₃ = ～60/40, CH₃/Br = 56/44. These ratios enable a list to be compiled indicating the endo-specificity of the ketene substituents. The order closely parallels the space filling capacity as derived by other methods. The establishment of such ratios required reliable configurational assignments at carbon 7. These were derived by five methods based upon the following effects: (1) Both H? C7 and CH₃? C7 cause nmr. signals at higher field in endo-position (compared with exo). (2) The CH₃? C7 group in exo-position gives rise to a nuclear Overhauser effect with the vicinal H? C1, and in one case also with the trans-annular H? C5. (3) The nmr.-coupling constants of H? C7-exo (observed at H? C7) with H? C1 is always larger than of H? C7-endo. (4) The coupling constant of H? C7-exo with H? C6 (known to be exo-) of the LiAlH₄ reduction products of the cyclo-adducts (observed at H? C6) is always larger than that of H? C7-endo. (5) The nmr. signals of most protons in the cyclo-adducts are at higher field in benzene than in chloroform solution; this “benzene shift” is larger for H? C7 or for CH₃? C7 when in exo- than when in endo-position.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of exo- and endo-2-norbornyltrimethyl-stannanes: Corrected assignments

The ¹³C NMR spectra of pure exo-2-norbornyltrimethylstannane and a mixture of the exo- and endo-isomers have been recorded. ¹H–¹³C polarization transfer spectra have been obtained and require the previously reported assignments for C-3 and C-4 in the exo-isomer to be reversed. The reported assignments for the endo-isomer are correct. The new assignment for C-4-exo [with J(¹¹⁹Sn,¹³C) vic=12 Hz, instead of the previously assigned J(vic)=23 Hz], has a very minor effect on the nature of the Karplus curve [for ³J(¹¹⁹Sn,¹³C)] generated previously.     

A Photoelectron-spectroscopic investigation of the Homoconjugative Interaction between π- and Walsh-Orbitals in endo- and exo-Cyclopropano-norbornene

Photoelectron spectra of endo- and exo-cyclopropano-norbornene ( = endo- and exo-tricyclo[3.2.1.0^2.4]octa-6-ene) show that a significant homoconjugation exists between the π-orbital of the double bond and the symmetric Walsh-es-orbital of the cyclopropane ring in the exo-isomer, whereas the interaction is negligeable in the endo-derivative.     

Solution conformation and dynamics of L-6-methylperhydroimidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-dione (γ-thiaprolinehydantoin). A 1H and 13C NMR study

The solution conformation of L-6-methylperhydroimidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-dione (γ-thiaprolinehydantoin) has been determined from an extensive ¹H and ¹³C NMR study, allowing the extraction of vicinal inter-proton and carbon-hydrogen coupling constants. The major conformation of the thiazolidine ring is an envelope with C-δ as the flap exo (δ^?). In solution the preferred solid state (twist) conformer with C-α exo and C-β endo (_α^βT) is only a minor contributor. ¹³C spin–lattice relaxation data reveal the flexibility of the thiazolidine ring.     

The 1H NMR spectra of exo- and endo-3-thiatricylo[4.2.1.02,5]non-7-ene 3,3-dioxide. The shielding effect of the sulfone group

The proton spectra of exo- and endo-3-thiatricyclo[4.2.1.0^2,5]non-7-ene 3,3-dioxide have been analysed and completely assigned. Considerations of coupling constants indicate that the thietane ring is nonplanar and that the norbornene residue is significantly distorted from the geometry of norbornene itself. The sulfone group induces significant changes in the shielding of the proximate olefinic proton in the endo isomer and the bridge protons in the exo isomer. These shifts appear to be the result of the electrostatic effects and effects associated with the diagmagnetic anisotropy of the sulfone group.     

Epoxidation of Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-endo- and Exodicarboxylic Acid N-Arylimides

Epoxidation of endo- and exo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid N-arylimides with a solution of peracetic acid in anhydrous dioxane affords 5,6-exo-epoxybicycloheptanedicarboxylic acid N-arylimides. The epoxidation reaction is not sensitive to the configuration of the imide fragment, to the character and position of the substituent in the aromatic ring. The reaction is determined only by oxidation conditions.     

Reaction of bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene with the arenesulfenamide—phosphorus(v) oxohalide system: chemo-, regio-, and steroselectivity

The chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivities of electrophilic sulfenylation of bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene with arenesulfenamides activated by phosphorus(v) oxohalides were studied. The ratio of the products of endo- to exo-attack of the diene by the electrophilic species depends on the solvent nature. The proportions of the products formed upon addition to one double bond and upon homoallylic participation of the second double bond depend on solvent polarity, the nature of the halogen, the substituents in the sulfenamide benzene ring, and on the reaction time. In addition, the formation of mixed adducts was proven for the reaction carried out in acetonitrile and the formation of disulfenylation products was found in the reaction with excess sulfenylating reagent. Isomerization of exo-3-arylthio-endo-2-halobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes to the products formed with homoallylic participation of the second double bond, exo-5-arylthio-endo-3-halotricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptanes, was shown to be possible.     

Regio- and stereochemical aspects of bromochlorination of norbornene

Bromochlorination of norbornene whose chemo- and regio-selectivity is determined by the type of the halogenating reagent used was studied. Three isomeric bromochloronorbornanes (2-endo-bromo-3-exo-chloro-, 2-exo-bromo-3-endo-chloro-, and 2-exo-bromo-7-syn-chlorobicyclo[2.2.1.]heptanes), 2-exo-7-syn- and 2-exo-7-anti-dibromo- and-dichloronorbornanes, and 2-bromonortricyclane were isolated and characterized by¹H and¹³C NMR spectra. The spectral and structural characteristics of the resulting compounds are discussed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2290–2295, November, 1998.     

Polar versus steric effects in the solvolysis of 6endo-substituted 2endo-norbornyl p-toluenesulfonates. Norbornanes,Part 8

The solvolysis rates and products of the 6endo-R-substituted 2endo-norbornyl toluenesulfonates 6a – 6i have been determined. The rates of 6a – 6g correlate with the inductive constants σ the 6endo-substituents and are not related to the size of the latter. It is therefore concluded that polar rather than steric effects control the exo/endo-rate ratios of norbornyl sulfonates. Products are derived mainly from rearranged 6exo-R-norbornyl cations when the substituent is an electron donor and from unrearranged 6endo-R-substituted cations when the substituent is an electron acceptor.
