Déplacements chimiques induits en RMN par un réactif lanthanidique: I—Application á l'analyse conformationnelle de sulfites cycliques

The chemical shifts induced by Eu(fod)₃ in several series of 6-membered cyclic sulfites give the parameters K_c and Δ_SR of the complexation equilibrium for an assumed 1:1 stoicheiometry. The equilibrium constant K_c decreases with increasing bulk of the C-4 and C-6 substituents and polarity of the C-5 substituent, which corresponds to the increase of the i.r. stretching frequency vS?O. Thus axial S?O will be more tightly complexed than equatorial S?O. It can be predicted that when a conformational equilibrium exists without shift reagent, displacement towards an axial S?O form will occur with the reagent. Use of the Δ_SR pseudocontact equation confirms the following: (i) ax S?O chair forms are stabilized; (ii) eq S?O chairs with two eq C-4 and C-6 substituents show an equilibrium with a few percent of the ax S?O flexible conformation, particularly in the absence of an ax C-5 substituent; (iii) twist forms with a 2–5 axis, intermediate S?O and trans-4, 6-di-tert-Bu substituents give a boat form with O at the prow and ax S?O; (iv) the conformational equilibrium of trans-5-tert-butyl-2-oxo-1, 3, 2-dioxathiane (chair with ax tert-Bu and S?O ? 70%) is completely displaced towards that form; (v) cis-4,4,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiane, which exists as an equilibrium in which the three types of S?O occur, is complexed essentially in the twist form with a 1–4 axis and ax S?O. Most of these results are supported by the coupling constants analysis for the ratio R₀/S₀ = 1.     

Déplacements Chimiques induits en RMN par un Réactif Lanthanidique: II—Analyse Conformationnelle de Sulfinamates Cycliques: Oxo-2 Oxathiazannes-1,2,3 et Oxo-2 Benzo-5,6 Dihydro-3,4 Oxathiazines-1,2,3

Re-examination of recent results in the literature about 2-r-substituted 5-c-tert-butyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes and 3,3-dimethyl-1-oxothiethan made us select, under the indicated conditions, the static model because it is easier to use than the dynamic one. Its application to 17 cyclic sulphinamates belonging to two series—the 2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazans (I) and the 5,6-benzo-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazins (II)—confirms, in the presence of Eu(fod)₃, the structures established without the shift reagent, from chemical shifts and coupling constants only, and shows their conformational diversity. For the series (I) the following conformations are found: (i) standard chairs with an axial S?O group (CA) when the molecule is not substituted in the 4 and 6 positions or when the substituents are equatorial (with the exception of 3-tert-butyl-4-t-methyl-2-r-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazan); the substituents R?Me, iPr or tBu on the nitrogen atom are preferentially axial; (ii) strained chairs with axial Me-4 and S?0 groups (CA); in this conformation R?Ph may be partially conjugated and R?Me or tBu may prefer the more favourable axial orientation; (iii) twist conformations with a 1,4-axis and an axial S?O group (COA) for the two 4-c,6-c- and 4-t,6-c-di-tert-butyl-2-r-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2,3-oxathiazans; (iv) the twist conformation with a 3,6-axis and an axial S?O group (CNA) for trans-3-tert-butyl-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3-oxathiazan because of the 4-methyl—3-tert-butyl 1,2-interaction. For the series (II) half-chair forms with an axial S?O group are proposed.     

Conformational analysis of cyclic sulphites. 2-Oxo 1,3,2-dioxathiane-4-spiro-4-tert-butyl-cyclohexanes

Three series of 4-spirosulphites, a new class of cyclic sulphites, were synthesized and five couples of diastereoisomers isolated. Their structural analysis, using ¹H NMR coupling constants and SO stretching vibration as conformational probes, shows a large variety of ananchomeric chair forms and multicomponent equilibria for the cyclic sulphite moiety, the cyclohexane part of the molecule remaining in the chair form. Related to the occurrence of severe interactions involving the 5-methyl or 6-tert. butyl substituent, several twist forms were encountered, with 2,5-axis and isoclinal SO or 1,4-axis and axial or equatorial SO as a consequence of the weak free energy difference between chair and twist conformations in the cyclic sulphite series.     

Synthesis,structural and conformational study of N-β(or γ)-acyloxyalkylnortropinones

A series of N-β(γ)-acyloxyalkylnortropinones have been synthesized and studied by ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy, and the crystal structure of N-[γ-(p-chlorophenylcarbonyloxy)propyl]nortropinone 4 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compounds studied display in deuteriochloroform solution the same preferred conformation. The pyrrolidine and piperidone rings adopt a flattened N-8 envelope and distorted chair conformation, puckered at N-8 and flattened at C-3 respectively, with the N-substituent in axial position with respect to the piperidone ring. These results are in close agreement with that found for compound 4 in the crystalline state.     

Fragmentation and isomerization reactions of phenyl substituted 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathianes (trimethylene sulfites)

The preparation and Grob-like fragmentation of several phenyl substituted 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathianes (trimethylene sulfites) have been examined. Preparation of the 4,4,6-triphenyl derivatives gives a chair S = O equatorial isomer which fragments readily in polar solvents to produce benzaldehyde and 1,1-diphenylethylene. Isomerization to an unreactive twist boat isomer occurs as a minor reaction in solution and in the solid state on prolonged storage. Activation parameters and substituent effects on the fragmentation reaction are consistent with an ionic mechanism. The diphenyl derivatives react only in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate giving mainly isomerization to the stable chair, S = O axial form; fragmentation is a minor pathway.     

Halogenation of n-substituted p -quinone monoimines and p -quinone monooxime esters: VIII. Halogenation of N -aroyl(arylsulfonyl)-2,6-di- tert -butyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines and their reduced forms

Chlorination of N-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)-2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines gave Z and E isomers of 4-arylsulfonylimino-2,6-di-tert-butyl-5,6-dichlorocyclohex-2-en-1-ones and Z isomers of 4-aroyl-(arylsulfonyl)imino-2,6-di-tert-butyl-5,5,6-trichlorocyclohex-2-en-1-ones, in which the tert-butyl group on the sp ³-hybridized carbon atom occupies exclusively the axial position. The formation of Z/E-isomeric structures is related to configurational stability of the chlorination products. The chlorination of 4-aroylamino-2,6-di-tertbutylphenols was found to be accompanied by replacement of one tert-butyl group by chlorine atom with formation of 4-aroylimino-6-tert-butyl-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohex-2-en-1-ones.

are applied to some 4-germa-1,3-dioxanes. It is thereby shown that 4,4-diethyl-2trichloromethyl-4-germa-1,3-dioxane in CCl ₄ and C ₆ D ₆ adopts the chair conformation, with the equatorial C? Cl ₃ group distorted by the presence of the germanium: the torsional angle of the Ge-CH ₂ -CH ₂ -O-fragment is 45°. The most stable 6-alkyl derivatives ( cis isomers) have the same conformation; the less stable trans - tert -butyl isomer prefers a skew-boat form compatible with a torsional angle of about 60°.     

Conformational studies of dicyclohexylthallium chloride,bis(4-methylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride and bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride by 1H NMR

Vicinal thallium–hydrogen coupling constants are used to discuss conformations in dicyclohexylthallium chloride, bis(4-methylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride and bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride. Thallium does not have a very strong preference for equatorial positions in dicyclohexylthallium chloride, whereas bis(4-alkylcyclohexyl)thallium chlorides exist largely in one conformation. Bis(4-methylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride exists in three isomeric forms; the major product appears to be the cis-isomer (equatorial methyl, axial thallium), with the other two isomers probably containing thallium trans to the methyl group (axial thallium being preferred). The preference for the cis-isomer (equatorial tert-butyl, axial thallium) of bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)thallium chloride is such that other isomers are not obtained.     

Conformational study of phosphothreonine in aqueous solution. H and 13C NMR results

The 270 MHz ¹H and 22.6 MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of DL -phosphothreonine in D₂O have been measured and analysed as a function of pD. The trans-trans conformation of the fragment H-α? C-α? C-β? O? P predominates at all pD values. The C-β—O gauche contribution is notably larger for pD values in the range 7≤pD<10 than for acidic or more basic solutions which is in accordance with earlier results for phosphoserine (PSer).     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of derivatives of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl ester of 7<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis>-acetylmethylene-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid

The condensation of the acetylmethylene group in the tert-butyl esters of 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid and 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid and in 7Z-acetylmethylene-3-methylene-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem with arylmethoxyamines and O-alkylation of the tert-butyl ester of 7Z-(2-hydroxyimino)propylidene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid using substituted benzyl bromides as well as pyridylmethyl chlorides gave arylmethoxyimino and pyridylmethoxyimino derivatives of these compounds in the syn and anti isomeric forms. The Vilsmaier reagent was used to introduce the N,N-dimethylaminomethylene group at C-2 of the cephem system in the tert-butyl esters of 7Z-[2-(arylmethoxyimino)propylidene]-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid. Subsequent transformation of the N,N-dimethylaminomethylene cephems using hydroxylamine led to 3Z-[2-(anti-arylmethoxyimino)propylidene]-tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl-4-(5-methyl-4-isoxazolylsulfonyl)- azetidin-2-ones. Condensation of the acetyl group in the tert-butyl ester of 7Z-acetylmethylene- 3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid with 4-bromophenylhydrazine gave a cephem with a 2-(4-bromophenylhydrazono)propylidene group at C-7. Acylation of the tert-butyl ester of 7Z-(2-hydroxyimino)propylidene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid by 2-bromobenzoyl chloride gave a cephem with a 2-(2-bromo-benzoyloxyimino)propylidene group at C-7. Biological screening of these products towards to malignant and normal cells in vitro showed that their antitumor activity and cytotoxic selectivity towards to malignant and normal cells depend on the structure and configuration of the arylmethoxyimino and pyridylmethoxyimino groups in the 7-alkylidene substituent as well as on the presence or absence of N,N-dimethylaminomethylene and carboxyl groups, respectively, at C-2 and C-4 of the cephem system.     

Computational study of sulfoxides of thiacyclohexane, 4‐silathiacyclohexane, 4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane,and 4,4‐difluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane: Relative energies of conformations and sulfinyl oxygen stabilized pentacoordinate silicon in boat and twist structures

Second‐order Møller‐Plesset theory (MP2) has been used to calculate the equilibrium geometries and relative energies of the chair, 1,4‐twist, 2,5‐twist, 1,4‐boat, and 2,5‐boat conformations of thiacyclohexane 1‐oxide (tetrahydro‐2H‐thiopyran 1‐oxide), 4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide, cis‐ and trans‐4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide, and 4,4‐difluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide. At the MP2/6‐311+G(d,p) level of theory, the chair conformer of axial thiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 0.99, 5.61, 5.91, 8.57, and 7.43 kcal/mol more stable (ΔE) than its respective equatorial chair, 1,4‐twist, and 2,5‐twist conformers and 1,4‐boat and 2,5‐boat transition states. The chair conformer of equatorial thiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 4.62, 6.31, 7.56, and 7.26 kcal/mol more stable (ΔE) than its respective 1,4‐twist and 2,5‐twist conformers and 1,4‐boat and 2,5‐boat transition states. The chair conformer of axial 4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 1.79, 4.26, 3.85, and 5.71 kcal/mol more stable (ΔE) than its respective equatorial chair, 1,4‐twist, and 2,5‐twist conformers and 2,5‐boat transition state. The 2,5‐twist conformer of axial 4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is stabilized by a transannular interaction between the sulfinyl oxygen and silicon, to give trigonal bipyramidal geometry at silicon. The chair conformer of equatorial 4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 2.47, 7.90, and 8.09 kcal/mol more stable (ΔE) than its respective 1,4‐twist, and 2,5‐twist conformers and 2,5‐boat transition state. The chair conformer of axial cis‐4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 4.18 and 5.70 kcal/mol more stable than its 1,4‐twist conformer and 2,5‐boat transition state and 1.51 kcal/mol more stable than the chair conformer of equatorial cis‐4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide. The chair conformer of axial trans‐4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 5.02 and 6.11 kcal/mol more stable than its respective 1,4‐twist conformer and 2,5‐boat transition state, but is less stable than its 2,5‐twist conformer (ΔE = ?1.77 kcal/mol) and 1,4‐boat transition state (ΔE = ?1.65 kcal/mol). The 2,5‐twist conformer and 1,4‐boat conformer of axial trans‐4‐fluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide are stabilized by intramolecular coordination of the sulfinyl oxygen with silicon that results in trigonal bipyramidal geometry at silicon. The chair conformer of axial 4,4‐difluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is 3.02, 5.16, 0.90, and 6.21 kcal/mol more stable (ΔE) than its respective equatorial chair, 1,4‐twist, and 1,4‐boat conformers and 2,5‐boat transition state. The 1,4‐boat conformer of axial 4,4‐difluoro‐4‐silathiacyclohexane 1‐oxide is stabilized by a transannular coordination of the sulfinyl oxygen with silicon that results in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry at silicon. The relative energies of the conformers and transition states are discussed in terms of hyperconjugation, orbital interactions, nonbonded interactions, and intramolecular sulfinyl oxygen–silicon coordination. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Crystal Structure of (2 R, 7 S, 10 R)-2,10-diamino-5,5,7-trimethyl-4,8-diazaundecanenickel (II) perchlorate

The structure of the title compound, a tricyclic Ni(II) tetra-amine complex has been determined from analysis of photographic X-ray data. The crystal system is orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.802, b = 8.998, c = 24.378 Å. The Ni atom is square planar coordinated. The six-membered chelate ring has a chair conformation. One of the five-membered chelate rings has a distorted gauche (λ) conformation with the methyl substituent in an equatorial position, the other has an unsymmetrical gauche (δ) conformation with the methyl substituent axial.     

Methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-deoxy-4-methoxy­amino-α-d-gluco­pyran­oside

The crystalline-state conformation of the title compound, C₂₉H₂₉NO₉, has been established unequivocally. The R absolute configuration is observed at the 4-methoxy­amino moiety and the pyranose ring adopts essentially a perfect ⁴C₁ chair. The torsion angle of the exocyclic hydroxy­methyl group is shown to be gauche–gauche with respect to O1 and C4, respectively. The conformation along the methoxy­amino bond is consistent with that observed for calicheamicin γ₁^I.     

O‐Ethyl and O‐methyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d‐glucopyranosyl)thiocarbamate

In both the title structures, O‐ethyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d ‐gluco­pyran­osyl)­thio­carbam­ate, C₁₇H₂₅NO₁₀S, and O‐methyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d ‐gluco­pyran­osyl)­thiocar­bam­ate, C₁₆H₂₃NO₁₀S, the hexo­pyran­osyl ring adopts the ⁴C₁ conformation. All the ring substituents are in equatorial positions. The acetoxy­methyl group is in a gauche–gauche conformation. The S atom is in a synperi­planar conformation, while the C—N—C—O linkage is antiperiplanar. N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains and these are connected by C—H?O interactions.     

What is the shape of a cis-fused cyclohexane bearing a pseudoequatorial t-butyl group?

N,2α-Dimethyl-8α-t-butyl-cis-decahydroquinoline (I) picrate crystallizes as a double chair with an equatorial t-butyl group and an axial N-methyl group. N,2α-Dimethyl-8β-t-butyl-cis-decahydroquinoline (II) picrate crystallizes with the equatorially substituted heterocylic ring adopting a chair conformation. The strained A ring gives evidence that a distorted twistboat form may be nearly as favorable as a flattened chair form.     

2‐[3‐Furyl­(hydroxy)­methyl]‐2,3‐di­methyl­cyclo­hexanone

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₈O₃, there is a syn relationship between the two vicinal methyl groups. The six‐membered ring adopts a chair conformation, with one equatorial and two axial groups, and the furyl group is almost parallel to the ketone group. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds [O—H?O=C 2.814 (3) Å] form chains along [100].     

Sur la Similitude des Déformations du Noyau Cyclohexanonique Induites par les Groupes Tertiobutyle et gem-Diméthyle

X-ray and NMR (250 MHz) data for chlorinated 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanones lead to the following conclusions: carbonyl and chlorine substituent effects on ²J and ³J coupling constants are similar to those observed for 4-tert-butylcyclohexanones. In other respects, the gem dimethyl and the tert-butyl groups induce on the ring similar large ⁴J coupling constants (H-3′? C-3? C-4? C-5? H-5′); the results can be interpreted in terms of local gemoetric deformations and additivity of these deformations. The determination of dihedral angles by Lambert's method and from X-ray data shows the identity of the structures in the solid state and the dissolved state and confirms the great structural similarity between 4-tert-butyl- and 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanone derivatives.     

5,5‐Di­methoxy‐2‐phenoxy‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorinane 2‐oxide

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₅O₆P, the six‐membered dioxa­phospho­rinane ring of the cyclic phosphate triester exists in a distorted chair conformation, with the phenoxy group in an axial position. The phenyl ring and both methoxy groups are in a trans–gauche orientation with respect to the 1,3,2‐di­oxa­phospho­rinane ring. In the phosphate group, a significant deformation from the ideal tetrahedral shape is observed. The crystal structure is stabilized by a three‐dimensional network of C—H⋯O interactions.     

Dependence of the γ carbon-13 shielding effect on electronegativity

Three γ effects on ¹³C shielding in 3,3-dimethylheteracyclohexanes as a function of the hetero-atom X have been examined. The γ-anti effect on the equatorial 3-methyl group is small in absolute magnitude but strongly dependent on the polar properties of X. The plot of the ¹³C shielding of this carbon vs the electronegativity of X is linear, with a slope of ?5.8 ppm/electronegativity unit. The γ-gauche effects on the axial 3-methyl group and on the 4-carbon are large in absolute magnitude but have quite different dependences on the polar properties of X. Whereas the shielding of the 4-carbon exhibits a linear dependence on electronegativity (slope ?3.5), the axial 3-methyl group shows little dependence (slope crudely ?0.7), even though the geometric relationship between X and either carbon is almost the same. Neither gauche carbon shielding appears to be related to the steric properties of X. The polar component of both the γ-anti effect and the γ-gauche effect is interpreted as arising from overlap of appropriately positioned parallel orbitals. For the anti case, the pathway is the familiar zigzag arrangement of bonds. For the gauche case, the pathway may be either through space (the orbitals would be only on X and C-α; for the 4-carbon, this interaction would be through the center of the ring) or through bonds (there are parallel axial orbitals on all four atoms). The absence of a significant polar effect for the axial 3-methyl group suggests that the gauche interaction requires a rigid pathway. The polar component of the general γ-gauche effect is superimposed upon a larger contribution that is essentially independent of the nature of X and may be associated with the removal of the hydrogen on the β-carbon and replacement with the γ-X group.     

Determination of the Influence of Side‐Chain Conformation on Glycosylation Selectivity using Conformationally Restricted Donors

The synthesis of a series of conformationally locked mannopyranosyl thioglycosides in which the C6?O6 bond adopts either the gauche,gauche, gauche,trans, or trans,gauche conformation is described, and their influence on glycosylation stereoselectivity investigated. Two 4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐protected mannosyl thioglycosides carrying axial or equatorial methyl groups at the 6‐position were also synthesized and the selectivity of their glycosylation reactions studied to enable a distinction to be made between steric and stereoelectronic effects. The presence of an axial methoxy group at C6 in the bicyclic donor results in a decreased preference for formation of the β‐mannoside, whereas an axial methyl group has little effect on selectivity. The result is rationalized in terms of through‐space stabilization of a transient intermediate oxocarbenium ion by the axial methoxy group resulting in a higher degree of S_N1‐like character in the glycosylation reaction. Comparisons are made with literature examples and exceptions are discussed in terms of pervading steric effects layered on top of the basic stereoelectronic effect.
