FTIR Spectral Study of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding in Thromboxane A2 Receptor Antagonist S-145 and Related Compounds. Part 4

Abstract

An N-methylated compound of S-145, (±)-(5Z)-7-[3-endo-[N-methyl)phenylsulphonyl)amino]bicyclo [2.2.1]hept-2-exo-yl]heptenoic acid 1, its chain analogue 12-[N-methyl(phenylsulphonyl)amino]dodecanoic acid 3, (±)-(5Z)-7-[3-endo-(benzoylamino)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-exo-yl] heptenoic acid 5 and related compounds were synthesized in order to study the formation of a new class of intramolecular hydrogen bond IX (cis-CO₂H…O = Y). Their FTIR spectra were measured in dilute CCl₄ solution and subjected to curve analysis in order to separate overlapping absorption bands. For compounds 1,3 and 5, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the IX type involving 14-, 17- and 14-membered rings were found between a carboxyl group, which takes a cis-structure IV, and an oxygen atom of a sulphonyl or benzoylamino group, respectively. The C[dbnd]O stretching vibration bands of these carboxyl groups shifted to lower wavenumbers (ca. 19 cm^?1). The direction of these shifts was contrary to that found for α-keto and α-alkoxycarboxylic acids in which carboxyl groups take a trans-structure III due to the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds I and II, respectively.
