Synthesis,structural, conformational and biochemical study of some 3β-acyloxytropan-3α-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides

A series of 3β-acyloxytropan-3α-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides have been synthesized and studied by ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy, and the crystal structure of 3β-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyloxy)tropan-3α-carboxylic acid hydrochloride 4c has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compounds studied display in methanol-d₄ the same preferred conformation. The pyrrolidine and piperidine rings adopt a flattened N8 envelope and distorted chair conformation; puckered at N8 and flattened at C3 respectively with the N-substituent in equatorial position with respect to the piperidine ring. In all cases, there is only one mode (axial) of proton uptake at the piperidine nitrogen atom. These results are in close agreement with that found for compound 4c in the crystalline state. The inhibitory ability of the title compounds upon ³ H -GABA binding to sinaptosomal brain membranes is also reported.     

Study of the Steric Structure of 7-Alkoxyalkyl-3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and Their Derivatives Using 1H NMR Spectroscopy

Using the ¹H NMR spectroscopic method it has been shown that 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes exist in deuterochloroform solution in a double chair conformation. 7-(3-Butoxypropyl)-3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ol is a 1:1 mixture of the two stereoisomeric alcohols. One of them exists in a double chair conformation having an equatorial hydroxyl group with relation to the piperidine ring and the other in a chair-boat conformation having an axial hydroxyl group which involves an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom.     

Synthesis,structural and conformational study of some esters derived from 8-phenethyl-8-azabicyclo[4.3.1]decan-10α-ol

A series of 10α-acyloxy-N-phenethyl-8-azabicyclo[4.3.1]decane derivatives have been synthesized and studied by ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy, and the crystal structure of N-phenethyl-10aL-(xanten-9″-carbonyloxy)bicyclo[4.3.1]decane 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compounds studied display in deuteriochloroform the same preferred conformation adopted by the piperidine ring as a distorted chair conformation flattened at N-8 with both the phenethyl and acyloxy groups in the equatorial position with respect to the piperidine ring. These results are in close agreement with that found for compound 2 in the crystalline state.     

Opioid conformations: The remarkable effect of C-14 substituents on ring c conformations of 6α and 6β epimers of 6-substituted epoxymorphinan opioid ligands

High field ¹H nmr studies have shown that the nature of the C -14 substituents has a remarkable influence on ring C conformation of epoxymorphinan opioids which have a 6α-hydroxyl group. In sharp contrast to the ring C twist-boat conformation observed in those 6α-hydroxy compounds which also have a 14-hydroxyl group (α-naltrexol; α-oxymorphol), ring C exists predominantly as a chair conformer in 6α-hydroxy compounds which have a proton bound to C -14 (dihydromorphine; dihydrocodeine). The 6β-hydroxy compounds (β-naltrexol; β-oxymorphol) have a ring C chair conformation in agreement with earlier studies.     

Conformational analysis of the tropane analogue of pethidine and related compounds by 1H NMR spectroscopy

The preferred solute conformation of ethyl 3α-phenyltropane-3β-carboxylate hydrochloride, the tropane analogue of pethidine, is shown to be a piperidine chair with an axial 3-phenyl substituent by analysis of its ¹H NMR characteristics and spectral comparisons with model compounds. Conformational studies of synthetic intermediates are also reported and favoured boat forms identified for 3α-diphenylhydroxymethyl-3β-tropanol and 3α-phenyl-3β-tropanyl phenyl ketone. In the hot-plate test for analgesia performed on mice, ethyl 3α-phenyltropane-3β-carboxylate is about 1·5 times as effective as pethidine.     

<Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR spectroscopy in the study of the three-dimensional structure of 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and some of their derivatives

¹H NMR spectroscopy was used to establish that 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and their decarbonylated derivatives in deuterochloroform solution exist in the double chair conformation. The predominantly formed secondary alcohols isomers have preferred double chair conformation with the hydroxyl group equatorial relative to the plane of the piperidine ring. On the other hand, the epimeric alcohols have predominant boat-chair conformation; the piperidine ring takes the boat form due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom and hydroxyl group proton.

Synthesis,structural, conformational and pharmacological study of new fentanyl derivatives of the camphidine system

A series of N-phenethyl-8-β-amidocamphidines 4a-f (3-phenethyl-8-β-(N-arylamido)-3-azabicyclo-[3.2.1]octane) has been designed, synthesized and stereochemically characterized as semirigid analogous of the 4-anilidopiperidine analgesics in an attempt to study the influence of certain stereochemical factors on analgesia in this class of compounds. In deuteriochloroform and deuteriobenzene solution, compounds 4a-f display the same preferred conformation. The cyclopentane and piperidine rings adopt an envelope and distorted chair conformation respectively flattened at N-3, with the N and C-8 substituents in equatorial and axial positions with respect to the piperidine ring. In vivo pharmacological testing demonstrated that compounds 4a-f were inactive in the analgesic test, with the exception of compound 4f which showed an ED₅₀ of 250 mg/kg p.o.     

1H nmr structural analysis of azabicyclospirohydantoins

The structure and spatial conformation of 3-alkyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-spiro-5′-hydantoins and 8-alkyl-8-azabicyclo[4.3.1]decane-10-spiro-5-hydantoins has been determined on the basis of the data from ¹H nmr. The chair conformation of the piperidine ring and the presence of only one stereoisomer at the spiro carbon atom are corroborated. All these facts have been confirmed by x-ray diffraction methods (2).     

Proton magnetic resonance studies of compounds with bridgehead nitrogen: XXVIII—Stereochemical studies with perhydropyrido[1,2-c] [1,6,3]dioxazocines and 2-alkylperhydropyrido[1,2-c] [1,3,6]oxdiazocines

A series of perhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,6,3]dioxazocines and 2-alkylperhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,3,6]oxdiazocines have been prepared. 6-p-Nitrophenyl-3,4-dimethylperhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,6,3]-dioxazodioxazocine is shown to adopt the cis fused ring conformation in solution with the nitrogen lone pair axial with respect to the piperidine ring. The 2-alkylperhydropyrido[1,2-c][1,3,6]oxdiazocines adopt a similar cis fused ring conformation and with increasing steric requirement of the 2-alkyl substituent the 8-membered ring increasingly favours the chair-chair conformation, rather than the chair–boat conformation favoured by the 2-methyl substituted compound.     

Structural and conformational study of 3-phenethyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octan-8-β-ol

The infrared and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 3-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-β-ol have been examined in several media. To assist in interpretation of the spectroscopic data, the crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction.The bicyclic system adopts a chair—envelope conformation with OH and phenethyl groups, respectively, in axial and equatorial positions with respect to the piperidine ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by means of OH…N intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In CCl₄ solution the initial chair—envelope conformation changes to a boat—envelope conformation which is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.The unambiguous assignment of all protons of the bicyclic system, not previously described, has also been carried out.     

Two isomers of 2,4‐di­benzyl‐8‐azabicyclo­[3.2.1]­octan‐3‐ol

The crystal structures of the title compounds, 2α,4α‐di­benzyl‐3α‐tropanol (2α,4α‐di­benzyl‐8‐methyl‐8‐aza­bi­cyclo­[3.2.1]­octan‐3α‐ol), C₂₂H₂₇NO, (I), and 2α,4α‐di­benzyl‐3β‐tropanol (2α,4α‐di­benzyl‐8‐methyl‐8‐aza­bi­cyclo­[3.2.1]­octan‐3β‐ol), C₂₂H₂₇NO, (II), show that both compounds have a piperidine ring in a chair conformation and a pyrrolidine ring in an envelope conformation. Isomer (I) is asymmetric, the benzyl groups having different orientations, whereas isomer (II) is mirror symmetric, and the N and O atoms, the C atom attached to the hydroxy group, and the methyl C atom attached to the N atom lie on the mirror plane. In the crystal structures of both (I) and (II), the mol­ecules are linked together by intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form chains that run parallel to the a direction in (I) and parallel to b in (II).     

Effect of Through‐Bond Interaction on Conformation and Structure in Rod‐Shaped Donor–Acceptor Systems. Part 1

The crystal structures of five N‐arylpiperidin‐4‐one derivatives 2P2, 3P2, 5P2, 1P3 , and 2P3 are presented (Fig. 2 and Tables 1–5) and discussed together with the derivatives 1P2 and 4P2 published previously. In all but one structure, 1P2 , the aryl group is in an equatorial position. The piperidine ring adopts a normal chair conformation. In 1P2 , the piperidine ring central C? C bonds are significantly elongated, which is consistent with the idea that through‐bond interaction is more pronounced in the axial conformation. Through‐bond interaction also influences the pyramidalization at the piperidine C(4)‐atom in such a way that a strong interaction is directing the ethylene C‐atom C(9) into the axial direction.     

16‐[3‐Methoxy‐4‐(2‐piperidin‐1‐yl­ethoxy)­benzyl­idene]‐17‐oxoandrost‐5‐en‐3β‐yl acetate monohydrate

The title compound, C₃₆H₄₉NO₅·H₂O, has the outer two six‐membered rings of the steroid nucleus in chair conformations. The central ring B of the steroid nucleus is in an 8β,9α‐half‐chair conformation, while ring D of the steroid adopts a slightly distorted 13β,14α‐half‐chair conformation. The piperidine ring is in a chair conformation. The methoxy­benzyl­idene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the carbonyl group at position 17. Intermolecular O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds link the steroid and water mol­ecules into chains which run parallel to the b axis.     

Effect of Through‐Bond Interaction on Conformation and Structure in Rod‐Shaped Donor–Acceptor Systems. Part 2.

The crystal structures of seven N‐aryltropan‐3‐one (=8‐aryl‐8‐azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan‐3‐one) derivatives 1T1, 2T1, 2T2, 3T2, 5T2, 2T3 , and 3T3 are presented (Fig. 2 and Tables 1–5) and discussed together with the derivatives 1T2 and 4T2 published previously. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. In all structures, the aryl group is in the axial position, with the plane through the aryl C‐atoms nearly perpendicular to the mirror plane of the piperidine ring. The through‐bond interaction between the piperidine ring N‐atom (one‐electron donor) and the substituted exocyclic C?C bond (acceptor) not only elongates the central C? C bonds of the piperidine ring but also increases the pyrimidalization at C(4) of the piperidine ring. Flattening of the C(2)–C(6) part of the piperidine ring decreases the through‐bond interaction.     

Hydrogen‐bonding and C—H⋯π interactions in 7‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy‐4‐methyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro­pyrido­[1,2‐c]pyrimidin‐1(9H)‐one

In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₄N₂O₃, a pyrimidine ring is fused with a piperidine ring. The pyrimidine ring is planar, whereas the piperidine ring adopts a half‐chair conformation. The molecules of the title compound are connected via O—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds into infinite zigzag chains. The pyrimidine ring is involved in three C—H⋯π interactions, which link the hydrogen‐bonded chains into a three‐dimensional framework.     

Conformational Studies of Marine Polyhalogenated α-Chamigrenes Using Temperature-dependent NMR spectra inverted-chair and twist-boat cyclohexane moieties in the presence of an axial halogen atom at C(8)

α-Chamigren-3-one (+) -8 bearing an axial CI-atom at C(8) exists as a largely dominant conformer with Me—C(5) at the envelope-shaped enone ring pointing away from CI_ax?C(8) at the cyclohexane ring (= B) in the ‘normal’ chair conformation, as shown by ¹H-NMR. In contrast, the α-chamigren-3-ols (+) -9 and (+) -10 , obtained from hydride reduction of (+) -8 , show a temperature-dependent equilibrium of conformers where the major conformers have ring B in the inverted-chair (and twist-boat for (+) -9 ) conformation to avoid repulsions between Me?C(5) and CI_ax–C(8) (Scheme 1). This is in agreement with the conformation of the epoxidation product (+) -12 of (+) -9 where Me–C(5) is pushed away from CI_ax–C(8) in a ring-B chair similar to that of (+) -8 (Scheme 2). Introduction of a pseudoequatorial Br-atom at C(2) of (+) -8 , as in enone (+) -15 (Scheme 3), does not affect the conformation; but a pseudoaxial Br? C(2) experiences repulsive interactions with H_eq–C(7), as shown by the ¹H-NMR data of the isomeric enone (+) -16 where the ‘normal’-chair conformer Cβ -16 is in an equilibrium with the inverted chair conformer ICβ -16 (Scheme 3). These results and the accompanying paper allow a unifying view on the conformational behavior of marine polyhalogenated α-chamigrenes. This view is supported by the acid-induced isomerization of α-chamigrene (+) -9 (inverted chair) to β-chamigrene (+) -17 (‘normal’ chair; Scheme 4), the driving force being the lesser space requirement of CH₂?C(5) than of Me–C(5). This explains why β-chamigrenes are so common in nature.     

NMR study of 4-deoxy-α-L-threo-4-enohexopyranosyluronic acid (1 → 3)2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-hexoses produced in the enzymic digestion of hyaluronate,chondroitin and chondroitin sulfates

The conformation of 4-deoxy-α-L -threo-4-enohexopyranosyluronic acid (1 → 3)2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-hexoses was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. The half-chair (H₁²) conformation was found in the unsaturated uronide moiety and the chair (Cl) conformation in the hexosamine moiety.     

16α,17α‐Epoxy‐20‐oxopregn‐5‐en‐3β‐yl acetate

The title compound, C₂₃H₃₂O₄, has a 3β configuration, with the epoxy O atom at 16α,17α. Rings A and C have slightly distorted chair conformations. Because of the presence of the C5=C6 double bond, ring B assumes an 8β,9α‐half‐chair conformation slightly distorted towards an 8β‐sofa. Ring D has a conformation close to a 14α‐envelope. The acetoxy and acetyl substituents are twisted with respect to the average molecular plane of the steroid. The conformation of the mol­ecule is compared with that given by a quantum chemistry calculation using the RHF–AM1 (RHF = Roothaan Hartree–Fock) Hamiltonian model. Cohesion of the crystal can be attributed to van der Waals interactions and weak intermolecular C—H?O interactions, which link the mol­ecules head‐to‐tail along [101].     

Synthesis,structural and conformational study of 4-α-(or β)-p-chlorobenzoyloxy-1-azaadamantane hydrochloride

4-α-(or β)-p-Chlorobenzoyloxy-1-azaadamantane hydrochloride have been synthesized and studied by ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy, and the crystal structure of the α-epimer has been determined by X-ray diffraction. Each ring of the adamantane cage system is a nearly perfect chair, the substituted cyclohexane and piperidine rings, in endo and exo position respectively, having the biggest deviation. From the ¹H and ¹³C nmr data, several stereoelectronic effects have been deduced.     

Sipe­imine,a steroidal alkaloid from Fritillariaroylei Hooker

In the title compound, 3,20-dihydroxycevan-6-one, C₂₇H₄₃NO₃, all the six-membered rings have normal chair conformations except ring D, which exists in a twist-chair conformation. The five-membered ring C adopts an envelope conformation. An O—H⃛O hydrogen bond connects the mol­ecules into spirals, which run along the b-axis direction.
