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.
