Quantum-chemical study of the structure and prototropic conversions of 2-methyl-1,3-bishetero derivatives of indene and indan

Conclusions The optimal conformations of the prototropic forms of 2-methyl-1,3-bishetero derivatives of indene and indan have been calculated by the CNDO/BW method, and the optimal paths for intramolecular proton transfer have been determined. The dependence of the heights of the barriers to intramolecular prototropic transitions on the character of the heteroatoms has been established.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1125–1128, May, 1986.

Calorimetric and computational study of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone)

The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone) were measured by a rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter and the Knudsen effusion technique, and the gas-phase enthalpy of formation was determined, Delta(f)H(m)*(g) = -326.3 +/- 2.0 kJ mol(-1). Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level were performed, and a theoretical study on molecular and electronic structure of the compound has been carried out. Calculated Delta(f)H(m)*(g) values agree very well with the experimental one. These experimental and theoretical studies support the relevance of the repulsive electrostatic interaction between sulfur atoms in 1,3-dithiane sulfone, that apparently counterbalances any n(S) --> rho(C-SO2)* stabilizing hyperconjugative interaction.     

Spectroscopic and theoretical study of the weakly bound H2-HCCCN dimer

Rotational spectra of the H(2)-HCCCN complex were studied using a pulsed-nozzle Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Complexes containing the main and several minor isotopologues of cyanoacetylene (HCCC(15)N, DCCCN, and various (13)C containing isotopologues) and the two spin isomers of the H(2) molecule (paraH(2) and orthoH(2)) were investigated. Transitions of complexes with (14)N and D containing isotopologues have nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structures, which were measured and analyzed. Transitions of orthoH(2) molecule containing complexes show additional hyperfine structures due to nuclear magnetic proton spin-proton spin coupling of the hydrogen nuclei in the H(2) molecule. For orthoH(2)-HCCCN, both strong a- and weaker b-type transitions were measured and analyzed using a semirigid asymmetric rotor model. For the paraH(2)-HCCCN complex, only a-type transitions could be observed. The dimer complexes are floppy and have near T-shaped structures. Intermolecular interaction potential energy surfaces were calculated for H(2)-HCCCN using the coupled-cluster method with single and double excitations and noniterative inclusion of triple excitations [CCSD(T)]. Three orientations of the hydrogen molecule within the complex were considered. Equal weighting of the surfaces corresponding to the three hydrogen orientations provided an averaged potential energy surface. Bound-state rotational energy levels supported by the surfaces were determined for the different hydrogen orientations, as well as for the averaged surface. Simple scaling of the surfaces improved the agreement with the experimental results and produced surfaces with near spectroscopic accuracy.     

Reactions of 7-Chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,2-dioxide in Various pH Solutions

Diazepam ( 1 ) is a frequently prescribed hypnotic/anxiolytic drug worldwide. 7-Chloro-1,3-dihydro-l-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,2-dioxide ( 2 ) is an initial alkaline hydrolysis product of 1. The mechanisms in the conversion of 2 to 2-methylamino-5-chloro-α-(phenylbenzylidene)glycinate ( 3 ), 2-methylamino-5-chlorobenzophenone ( 4 ), and 1 in aqueous solutions with pH ranging from 0 to 12.2 is the subject of this report. Results of temperature-dependent hydrolysis kinetics and product identification indicated that: (1) in solutions with pH between 7 and 12.2, 2 underwent a ring-opening reaction to form 3; the rate decreased with increasing pH. (2) In solutions with pH between 2 and 7, 2 was rapidly converted to 3, followed by a pH-dependent conversion to 4 ; the rate increased with decreasing pH and became less sentitive to pH at pH ≤ 4.5. (3) In solutions with pH between 0 and 2, 2 was rapidly converted to 4 and 1; the percentage of 1 increased with decreasing pH. (4) A 2 containing one oxygen-18 atom lost 50% of its oxygen-18 following conversion to 1 in 1 M HCl. In addition to understanding the mechanism in the transformations of 2 in various pH solutions, this study established a simple and efficient method in the quantitative conversion of 1 to 4 and in the preparation of an oxygen-18-containing 1 at C2 position.     

Hydrogen-bonding interactions in cinchonidine-2-methyl-2-hexenoic acid complexes: a combined spectroscopic and theoretical study

Molecular interactions between cinchonidine (CD) and 2-methyl-2-hexenoic acid (MHA) have been studied by means of NMR, ATR-IR MES, DFT, and ab initio molecular dynamics. These interactions are of particular interest due to their pivotal role in the chiral induction occurring in the heterogeneous catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha,beta-unsaturated acids. The population density of the Open(3) conformer of CD, the most populated one at room temperature in apolar solvents, considerably increased to a maximum by addition of MHA to CD in toluene. The CD-MHA complex showed prominent symmetric and asymmetric carboxylate stretching vibrations in the regions of 1350-1410 and 1520-1580 cm(-1), respectively. DFT calculations revealed that these vibrational frequencies are expected to significantly shift depending on the chemical surrounding of MHA, that is, the hydrogen bond network. Earlier postulated 1:1 binding between CD and MHA was considered unlikely; instead, a dynamic equilibrium involving the MHA monomer and dimer, the 1:3 and possibly 1:2 CD-MHA complexes, were rationalized. Stable CD-MHA structures suggested by DFT calculations are the "1:3, halfN, cyclic" and the "1:3, halfN, cyclic tilted" complexes, where three MHA molecules are connected in wire by hydrogen bonding, two having direct interaction with CD. The confinement of CD's torsional motions in the complexes, leading to a slightly distorted Open(3) conformer via specific hydrogen-bonding interactions, was clearly reproduced by ab initio molecular dynamics, and the stable and flexible nature of the interaction was verified. Theoretical IR spectra of the complexes reproduced the characteristic vibrational frequencies of the complexes observed experimentally, supporting the stability of the 1:3 and implying the possibility of even higher molecular weight CD-MHA complexes.
