Etude RMN 13C d'aziridines non substituées sur l'azote II—Aza-7 bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes,configurations relatives et conformations privilégiées

The configuration and favoured conformations of 1,2-dialkyl-(or alkyl-phenyl)-7-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane diastereoisomers have been determined by means of ¹³C NMR. The substituent in position-2 is ‘pseudo-axial’ in cis isomers and ‘pseudo-equatorial’ in trans isomers.     

Analyse conformationnelle de cétones cyclopropaniques par RMN à l'aide des déplacements paramagnétiques induits par Eu(dpm)3

The lanthanide induced shifts (LIS) of the lanthanide shift reagent Eu(dpm)₃ are reported for several cyclopropyl ketones. The conformational preference of the cyclopropanoyl group is determined via LIS by comparison with two compounds: dispiro-[2.1.2.2]nonane-4-one and 4,4,5-trimethyl bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane 2-one which are respectively in s-cis and s-trans conformation.     

Compounds with bridgehead nitrogen. 44—the conformational analysis of perhydropyrido[1,2-c] [1,3]thiazine

The 270 MHz NMR data on trans- and cis-(H-4a, H-7)-7-ethylperhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,3]thiazine show heavy conformational bias to the trans- and S-inside cis-fused conformations, respectively. Comparison of the ¹³C NMR spectra of these anancomeric systems with the ¹³C NMR spectrum of perhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,3]thiazine indicates a trans-?S-inside cis-conformational equilibrium for the latter compound in CDCl₃ at 25°C, containing ca 75% trans-fused conformer. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of perhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,3]-thiazine at ?75°C showed 64% trans-fused conformer and 36% S-inside cis-conformer.     

The Interaction of Walsh-Orbitols in Diademane and Related Hydrocarbons

To obtain further information concerning the interaction between Walsh-orbitols of ‘conjugated’ cyclopropane rings, the photoelectron spectra of the following compounds have been recorded: bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane 1 , cis- and trans-tricyclo[5.1.0^{3, 5}]octane 2, 3 , diademane 4 , trans-pentacyclo[3.3.2.0^{2, 9}.0^{4, 10}, 0^{6, 8}]decan 5 and bicyclo[4.1.0]heptene-2 6 . The first bands in the PE.-spectra of these compounds have been assigned on the basis of a ZDO HMO-approximation. For 2 and 4 the value for resonance integral between linked 2p atomic orbitals of two adjacent eclipsed cyclopropane rings is found to be ?1.73 eV.     

Interactions intramoléculaires. XXVI—Constantes de couplage et hétérogénéités conformationnelles dans une série de R-3 et R-5 cyano-4 cyclohexènes deutériés (R=méthyl ou t-butyl)

For trans-3-R- and 5-R-1-acetoxy-4-cyanocyclohexene-6,6-d₂ the molar fractions of diequatorial conformers are 0.83 (3-methyl), 0.68 (5-methyl), 0.57 (3-tert-butyl) and 0.55–0.69 (5-tert-butyl). For the last two compounds the values of the coupling constants are in agreement with the hypothesis of an ee?aa equilibrium. For the cis isomers, the molar fractions of equatorial alkyl conformers are 0.76 (3-methyl and 5-methyl) and 1.0 (3-tert-butyl and 5-tert-butyl). The cis-1-acetoxy-3-tert-butyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-cyclohexene presents a conformational heterogeneity. The conformational free energy of the methyl group in position 4 has been evaluated as ?0.6 kcal mol^?1 (2.5 kJ mol^?1).     

Stereochemical applications of mass spectrometry. 3—Energy dependence of the fragmentation of stereoisomeric methylcyclohexanols

Breakdown graphs have been constructed from charge exchange data for the epimeric 2-methyl-, 3-methyl- and 4-methyl-cyclohexanols. Although the breakdown graphs for epimeric pairs are essentially identical above ～12 eV recombination energy, significant differences are observed for the epimeric 2-methyl- and 4-methyl-cyclohexanols at low internal energies. For the 2-methylcyclohexanols the ratio ([M? H₂O]^+·/[M]^+·)_cis/([M? H₂O]^+·/[M]^+·)_trans is 3.2 in the [C₆F₆]^+· charge exchange mass spectra. This is attributed to both energetic and conformational effects which favour the stereospecific cis-1,4-H₂O elimination for the cis epimer. The breakdown graph for trans-4-methylcyclohexanol shows a sharp peak in the abundance of the [M? H₂O]^+· ion at ～10 eV recombination energy which is absent from the breakdown graph for the cis epimer. This peak is attributed to the stereospecific cis-1,4-elimination of water from the molecular ion of the trans isomer; the reaction appears to have a low critical energy but a very unfavourable frequency factor, and alternative modes of water loss common to both epimers are observed at higher energies. As a result, in the [C₆F₆]^+· charge exchange mass spectra the ([M? H₂O]^+·/[M]^+·)_trans/([M? H₂O]^+·/[M]^+·)_cis ratio is ～24, compared to the value of 13 observed in the 70 eV EI mass spectra. No differences are observed in either the metastable ion abundances or the associated kinetic energy releases for epimeric molecules.     

Interactions intramoleculaires. XXI—Constantes de couplage et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (molécules cyclohexaniques deutériées)

Different isotopic modifications of deuterated products of 1-t-butlyl-4-methoxycarbonyl cyclohexene (d₄-3,3,6,6), cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-cyanocyclohexene (d₃-3,6,6), cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-cyanocyclohexene (d₃,6,6), cis- and trans-3-t-butyl-4-methoxycarbonylcyclohexene (d₃,-3,6,6) are shown by nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. By comparison of ³J and ⁴J coupling constants of model molecules and molecules with large gauche interactions, we obtain proof that the latter are in a chair conformation with moderate cycle deformations.     

Interactions intramoléculaires: XXIII—Constantes de couplage et interactions gauches avec un groupement t-butyle (cyclohexanones disubstituées 3, 4)

The ¹H NMR spectra of a series of cis and trans-3R,4 X-cyclohexanones (-2,2,6,6-d₄) are analysed. By comparison of their ³J coupling constants with those of cyclohexane homologues we obtain information about the chair–chair equilibrium constants for R = CH₃, X = CN, the chair structure of cis isomers with an equatorial t-butyl group, and a conformational heterogeneity with trans (CH₃)₃C and CN groups. This latter situation is analysed by means of a simplified but controlled Karplus relationship, on the basis of a mixture of two conformers; this involves a diequatorial chair and a boat form with a dihedral angle Φ₃₄ of about ?6°.     

Analyse conformationnelle de derives bicyclo (4.1.0) heptaniques cis—I

¹H NMR conformational studies of cis-3(4) epoxy bicyclo (4.1.0) heptanes endo and exo, and of related alcohols (3-norcaranols) has been carried out using Eu(dpm)₃ as shift reagent. Comparatively the conformational analysis of cis and trans-1(2), -4(5) diepoxy cyclohexanes has been performed. The experimental data agree with a predominant planar conformation of the two -3(4) epoxy bicyclo (4.1.0) heptanes and of the cis diépoxy cyclohexane, but do not distinguish between the planar conformation and the $\text{1}\text{1}$ equilibrium of the two equivalent boat conformations of the trans diepoxyde. For the two alcohols, they adopt the same semi chair form in which the hydroxyl group is axial for the exo isomer and equatorial for the endo.     

Détermination par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de la Configuration d'alcools Bicycliques [4.2.0] et Tricycliques [6.4.0.02,7] ou [5.4.0.02,6]

The configuration of various bicyclo[4.2.0]octanols has been established by ¹H NMR spectroscopy, with Eu(dpm)₃ as shift reagent. The intrinsic parameters Δ and K have been obtained and used as structural probes. Moreover, detailed data analysis showed that, contrary to the generally accepted concept, the vicinal coupling constant between trans cyclobutanic protons can be larger than that between cis protons. The chemical shifts obtained by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy are consistent with the proposed structures. The results have been extensively used to determine unambiguously the configuration of tricyclo[6.4.0.0^2,7]dodecanols and tricyclo[5.4.0.0^2,6]undecanol.     

Mobilité conformationnelle et migration des liaisons π dans le [24]annulène

Conformational Mobility and Migration of the π Bonds of the [24]annulene. The configuration and the conformation of [24]annulene have been determined after a detailed analysis of its ¹H-NMR spectrum recorded at −95°. At this temperature, molecular dynamics is practically frozen, and the spectrum can be correctly simulated considering eight magnetic sites with the relevant couplings. The [24]annulene exhibits alternation of the double and the single bonds with the CTTTCTTTCTTT sequence (C=cis, T=trans) expressing the connectivity of the double bonds. The signal of the 9 protons pointing inside the ring is 7.72 ppm at lower field than the signal of the 15 outer protons; this indicates a marked paramagnetic ring current. Molecular dynamics is revealed by the dependence of the spectrum upon the temperature; the simulation of the line shape of these spectra indicates that the [24]annulene in solution exists as an equilibrium of two conformers A and B ( B / A ≤0.05), both having the same configuration. Each of these conformers undergoes two isodynamic processes: a migration of the π bonds on the adjacent single bonds (bond shift) described by V and a conformational mobility described by K. The two conformers interconvert extremely rapidely. Conformer A complies with C_3h symmetry, conformer B with C₃ symmetry. The enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of activation for the processes described by V and K in the major conformer A have been determined: these processes are slower than those observed in [16]annulene. From their values, we could deduce that the resonance energy in the [24]-7³annulene is negative and of the order of −9 to −10 kcal⋅mol⁻¹.     

Etude Stéréochimique par RMN 1H de Tetrahydropyrannes β-Chlorés α-Substitués

The ¹H NMR study of 2-alkyl-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of Grignard reagents with a mixture of cis/trans-2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows cis/trans configuration of two isomers in which the alkyl substituents are exclusively in the equatorial position. 3-Chloro-2-phenyltetrahydropyran exists in trans (eq-eq) configuration only. The ¹H NMR study of cis/trans 2-alkoxy (or aryloxy)-3-chlorotetrahydropyrans, obtained by reaction of alcohols or phenol with 2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyrans, shows the axial position of the alkoxy (or aryloxy) substituent.     

Transition metal complexes with bidentate ligand 2, 11-Bis (diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo[c]phenanthrene (1). X. Preparation and spectroscopic properties of cis-[PtCl2 (1)] trans- and cis-[PtH (PPh3) (1)] [BF4] and crystal and molecular structure of cis-[PtCl2 (1)] · CHCl3

It is shown that ligand 1 , designed to span trans-positions, under appropriate conditions also gives cis-mononuclear complexes of platinum (II). The structure of cis-[PtCl₂ (1) ] (2) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The major distortion from square planar coordination is the P-Pt-P angle of 104.8°. Values of valence angles within the bidentate ligand indicate that this part of the molecule is very strained. Two phenyl groups, one on each phosphorus, lie almost parallel to each other separated by ca. 3.2–3.3 Å. The ¹H-NMR. data for this compound show that the π-phenyl interactions observed in the solid state occur also in solution. The preparation and NMR.-spectroscopic properties of trans- and cis-[PtH(PPh₃) (1) ] [BF₄] are reported.     

Conformation et Spectrometrie de RMN. III. Spectres 13C de Diméthylamino Cyclanols et Dérivés

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-dimethylaminocyclohexanols and the four trans-3-dimethylamino-2-decahydronaphtols are described. The gauche interactions allow precise estimation of chemical shifts for each carbon atom; thus, band attribution can be resolved without mistake. In the case of the cis and the trans diequatorial compounds, the conformational perturbations which we have suggested before are verified by our present measurements on the substituted carbon atoms. We also show effects on adjacent atoms, which were unobservable with the usual IR and ¹H NMR techniques.     

Photochemistry of the SO2, 2-pentene system at 3660 Å

The photolysis of SO₂ in the presence of cis- and trans-2-pentene has been investigated at 3660 Å and 22°C. Quantum yield measurements of the SO₂ photosensitized conversion of one isomer into the other are consistent with a mechanism in which the only participating excited electronic state of SO₂ is the SO₂(³B₁) state. Quantum yield measurements were made for a variation in P_SO2/P_isomer reactant ratios of 4.01–283 and 57.5–351 for the cis and trans isomers, respectively. The data are consistent with a mechanism in which a (SO₂-olefin)³ collision intermediate is the precursor to the photosensitized isomeric products. The intermediate undergoes unimolecular decay to yield the cis and trans isomers with probabilities of 0.26 ± 0.05 and 0.69 ± 0.04, respectively. Estimates of the quenching rate constants at 22°C for removal of SO₂(³B₁) molecules by cis- and trans-2-pentene are (0.633 ± 0.125) × 10¹¹ l./mole/sec and (1.00 ± 0.27) × 10¹¹ l./mole/sec, respectively. An experimentally determined photostationary composition, [trans-2-pentene]/[cis-2-pentene] = 2.3 ± 0.1 was in fair agreement with that of 1.7 ± 0.7 as predicted from kinetic data derived in this study.     

Untersuchungen zum elektronischen Einfluß von Organoliganden. XIII. Synthese und Charakterisierung von 2-funktionalisierten Vinylrhodoximen

Studies on the Electronic Influence of Organoligands. XIII. Synthesis and Characterization of 2-Functionalized Vinyl Rhodoximes 2-Functionalized vinyl rhodoximes [Rh(dmgH)₂ (PPh₃)cis/trans-CH = CHZ] ([Rh]? CH = CHZ) ) ( 1 ) can be prepared with a wide variation of the substituent Z (cis: OEt ( 1 a ), OPh ( 1 b ), Cl ( 1 c ), Me ( 1 j ), Ph ( 1 k ), SMe ( 1 l ), SPh ( 1 m ); trans: SPh ( 1 d ), Me ( 1 e ), Ph ( 1 f ), CMe₃ ( 1 g ), SiMe₃ ( 1 h )) by oxidative addition of XCH = CHZ and/or by nucleophilic addition of HC?CZ and Me₃SiC?CZ, respectively, to [Rh]^?. 1 a is converted to [Rh]? CH₂CHO ( 2 ) already in a weakly acid medium. 1 l is isomerized to trans-[Rh]? CH = CHSMe ( 1 n ) in the presence of acids. The complexes 1 are characterized by microanalysis and by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The magnitude of the coupling constants ¹J(¹⁰³Rh, ³¹P) reveals only a small effect of Z on the (NMR) trans influence of the vinyl ligands CH = CHZ. The molecular structures of cis-[Rh]? CH = CHSPh ( 1 m ) and trans-[Rh]? CH = CHSPh ( 1 d ) show a distorted octahedral coordination of Rh with a mutual trans position of triphenyl-phosphine and the 2-phenylmercaptovinyl ligands. Van der Waals interactions exist between the sulfur and the equatorial dimethylglyoximato ligands in the cis complex 1 m .     

Substitution reactions under NH3 chemical ionization conditions in cis-/trans-1,2-dihydroxybenzosuberans

The nucleophilic substitution reaction under NH₃ chemical ionization (CI) conditions in cis- and trans-1,2-dihydroxybenzosuberans (1–4) has been studied with the help of ND₃ CI and metastable data. The results indicate that in the parent diols 1 (cis) and 2 (trans), the substitution ion [M_sH]⁺, is produced mainly by the loss of H₂O from the [MNH₄]⁺ ion (S_Ni reaction) while in their 7-methoxy derivatives 3 and 4, the ion-molecule reaction between [M? OH]⁺ and NH₃ seems to be the major pathway for the formation of [M_sH]⁺. The substitution ion from 1 and 2 and the [MH]⁺ ion from trans-1-amino-2-hydroxybenzosuberan give similar collision-induced dissociation mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra. Interestingly, their diacetates do not undergo the substitution reaction.     

Kinetics of the reactions of O3 and OH radicals with a series of dialkenes and trialkenes at 294 ± 2 K

Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of O₃ and OH radicals with 1,3-cycloheptadiene, 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene, and cis- and trans-1,3,5-hexatriene and also of O₃ with cis-2,trans-4-hexadiene and trans -2,trans -4-hexadiene have been determined at 294 ± 2 K. The rate constants determined for reaction with O₃ were (in cm³ molecule^-1s^?1 units): 1,3-cycloheptadiene, (1.56 ± 0.21) × 10^-16; 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene, (5.39 ± 0.78) × 10^?17; 1,3,5-hexatriene, (2.62 ± 0.34) × 10^?17; cis?2,trans-4-hexadiene, (3.14 ± 0.34) × 10^?16; and trans ?2, trans -4-hexadiene, (3.74 ± 0.61) × 10^?16; with the cis- and trans-1,3,5-hexatriene isomers reacting with essentially identical rate constants. The rate constants determined for reaction with OH radicals were (in cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 units): 1,3-cycloheptadiene, (1.31 ± 0.04) × 10^?10; 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene, (9.12 × 0.23) × 10^?11; cis-1,3,5-hexatriene, (1.04 ± 0.07) × 10^?10; and trans 1,3,5-hexatriene, (1.04 ± 0.17) × 10^?10. These data, which are the first reported values for these di- and tri-alkenes, are discussed in the context of previously determined O₃ and OH radical rate constants for alkenes and cycloalkenes.     

Pd‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of 4‐Aza‐1,6‐enynes to 3‐Aza‐bicyclo[4.1.0]hept‐2‐enes

A method for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes from 1,6‐enynes through Pd‐catalyzed cycloisomerization has been developed. N‐ and O‐tethered 1,6‐enynes were successfully transformed to their corresponding 3‐aza‐ and 3‐oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes in reasonable‐to‐high yields using the catalysts [PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂]/P(OPh)₃ or [Pd(maleimidate)₂(PPh₃)₂] in toluene. The computational calculations using density functional theory indicate that [PdCl₂{P(OPh)₃}] in the oxidation state Pd^II acts as the active catalyst species for the formation of 3‐azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes through 6‐endo‐dig cyclization.     

A Variable-Pressure 2D 1H-NMR Study of the Mechanism of Trimethyl Phosphate Intermolecular Exchange and cis/trains-Isomerisation of Tetrachlorobis(trimethyl phosphate)zirconium(IV)

In chloroform, [ZrCl₄·2(MeO)₃PO] exists in both cis- and trans-isomeric forms. Three reactions can be envisaged in the presence of excess (MeO)₃PO = L: (1) cis-[ZrCl₄·2L] + *L?cis-[ZrCl₄·L*L]+ L; (2) trans-[ZrCl₄·2L] + *L ? trans-[ZrCl₄·L*L] + L; (3) cis-[ZrCl₄·2L]? trans-[ZrCl₄·2L]. To distinguish between these possible reaction pathways, we have used 2D ₁H-NMR spectroscopy. For the first time, variable-pressure 2D exchange spectra were used for mechanistic assignments. cis/trans-Isomerisation was found to be the fastest reaction (in CHCl₃/CDCl₃), with a small acceleration at higher pressure: it is concluded to be an intramolecular process with a slightly contracted six-coordinate transition state. The intermolecular (MeO)₃PO exchange on the cis- and trans-isomer are second-order processes and are strongly accelerated by increased pressure: I_a mechanisms are suggested without ruling out limiting A mechanisms.
