13C-NMR-spektroskopische und stereochemische Untersuchungen: XI—Konformationen von Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanen und ihre Unterscheidbarkeit durch lanthanideninduzierte Verschiebungen

The ¹³C chemical shifts of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and of the corresponding 9-hydroxy- and 9-oxo- derivatives are compared with chemical shifts calculated on the basis of stereospecific shift increments. These results as well as the ¹H n.m.r. spectrum of the ketone indicate a predominant chair-chair conformation CC. A low temperature ¹³C n.m.r. study as well as an analysis of the temperature dependence of ¹³C chemical shifts in bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane furnish a limit for the free energy difference between CC and BC conformations of ΔG ≧ 5,85 kJ mol^?1. The distinction between CC, BC and BB provides a test for the applicability of lanthanide-induced ¹H and ¹³C shifts for the assignment of flexible geometries. The typical occurrence of several and/or flat minima in the LIS geometry analysis allows only the exclusion of boat–boat conformations.     

Darstellung,chiroptische eigenschaften und absolute Konfiguration von 4,14-disubstituierten [2.2]Metacyclophanen

Resolution of [2.2]metacyclophane-4,14-dicarboxylic acid (2) was achieved by crystallization of its (+)- and (–)--phenylethylamine salts. Chemical correlation with (–)-(S)_p-[2.2]metacyclophane-4-caboxylic acid (–)-11 via its monobromo derivative (–)-8 established the absolute configuration of the dicarboxylic acid as (–)-(S)_p-2. The key compound (–)-8 was prepared by partial lithiation and subsequent carboxylation of 4,14-dibromo[2.2]metacyclophane (1) and resolution with (–)-phenylethylamine.Recently proposed rules correlating the absolute configurations of planarchiral compounds with theirCD-spectra are discussed and a comparison of the chiroptical properties of 4,14-di- and 4-mono-substituted [2.2]metacyclophanes is presented.

Notiz über die Bestimmung der absoluten Konfiguration von (+)-2-Hydroxy-2, 3-dimethylbuttersäure

Note on the Determination of the Absolute Configuration of (+)-2-Hydroxy-2, 3-dimethylbutyric Acid Chemical correlation of the title compound 1 with (S)-3-isopropyl-3-methyl-5-trimethylsilyl-4-penten-2-one ( 2 ) showed (+)- 1 to have (S)-configuration. Key step was the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of a very hindered, optically active methyl keton to the corresponding acetoxy compound with trifluoroperacetic acid using slightly modified buffer conditions. It is found, that the erythro/threo assignment of an α, α-disubstituted β-hydroxyester intermediate can be based on the observation, that the ¹H-NMR. signal of H? C(β) of the erythro isomer appears at lower field than that of the threo isomer.
