Abstract: | Direct fluorination of dimethyl bicyclo1.1.1]pentane-1,3-dicarboxylate, obtained from 1.1.1]propellane prepared by an improved synthetic procedure, furnished esters of 14 of the 15 possible bridge-fluorinated bicyclo1.1.1]pentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acids, isolated by preparative GC. Calculated geometries reflect the substitution pattern in a regular fashion compatible with Bent's rules. Considerable additional strain is introduced into the bicyclo1.1.1]pentane cage by polyfluorination; it is calculated to be as high as 33-35 kcal/mol for hexasubstitution. Three arrangements of the fluorine substituents are especially strain-rich: geminal, proximate, and W-related. The (1)H, (13)C, and (19)F NMR spectra exhibit a striking variety of chemical shifts and long-range coupling constants. These are in good agreement with results calculated with neglect of the bridgehead substituents for all of the chemical shifts by the GIAO-RHF/6-31G//RHF/6-31G and GIAO-RHF/6-31G//MP2/6-31G methods and for many of the coupling constants by the EOM-CCSD/6-311G//MP2/6-311G method. The proximate (4)J(FF) constants are particularly large (50-100 Hz) and show an inverse linear dependence on the calculated F-F distance in the range 2.43-2.58 A. |
