Solid-state (X-ray) and solution conformational analyses of tartrate ester derived 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3,2-dioxaborolanes are described. The solid-state conformation of dimethyl benzylidenetartrate (5) was found to be one in which the two carbomethoxy groups are pseudoaxial and the ester carbonyls eclipse the adjacent dioxolane C-O bonds. This parallels exactly the conformation previously proposed for the 1,3,2-dioxaborolane unit in the transition state of the reactions of tartrate ester modified allylboronates 1-3 and aldehydes. A correlation was developed between the solution and solid-state conformations of 1,3-dioxolanes 5-7 based on the observed J4,5 coupling constants and the H-4-C-C-H-5 dihedral angle obtained from the X-ray crystal structures. A high resolution variable-temperature H-1 NMR study of 1,3-dioxolane 5 in THF-d8 revealed that J4,5 decreased from 3.72 Hz at 23-degrees-C to 2.91 Hz at -80-degrees-C, providing evidence that the diaxial conformation is increasingly favored as the temperature is decreased. A high resolution variable-temperature H-1 NMR study of ortho ester 12, prepared from dimethyl tartrate and trimethyl orthoacetate, in THF-d8 similarly revealed J4,5 = 5.25 Hz at 23-degrees-C and J4,5 = 4.60 Hz at -80-degrees-C. An analogous solution conformation analysis was also performed with 1,3,2-dioxaborolane derivatives 16 and 17 prepared from methyl trifluoroethyl tartrate (15). Variable-temperature H-1 NMR analysis of 17 in toluene-d8 revealed that J4,5 decreased to a value of J4,5 = 5.0 Hz at 23-degrees-C to J4,5 = 4.3 Hz at -60-degrees-C. The significance of these data to the mechanism of asymmetric induction in the reactions of the tartrate ester modified allylboronates 1-3 and aldehydes is discussed.
