Conformational study of chiral alkenes: the influence of protective groups on the relative stability of ground-state rotational isomers
摘要:
A variable temperature NMR study shows that a protective group on the hydroxy function of a chiral allylic alcohol can either enhance or counter the influence of the vinyl substituent on the ground-state (GS) conformations. If the allylic hydroxy is protected as a methyl ether, the CH-eclipsed form I becomes favored to a greater degree for normal chiral alkenes. Furthermore, conformer I becomes preferred even for the gamma-hydroxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, which normally favor the CO-eclipsed form (II). On the other hand, the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ether enhances the preference for conformer II for the gamma-hydroxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters and diminishes the preference for the CH-eclipsed form of normal chiral alkenes. These facts are explained by the size of the allylic oxygen lone pairs.
Intracomplex CH3OH Walking around Optically Active 1-Methyl-3-ethylallyl Cations. A Gas-Phase Kinetic Study
摘要:
The kinetics and the mechanism of the racemization and regioisomerization of O-methylated (S)-trans-4-hexen-3-ol (IS') or (R)-trans-3-hexen-2-ol (IIR') have been investigated in the gas phase at 720 Torr and in the 40-120 degrees C temperature range. The starting oxonium intermediates were generated in the gas phase by the reaction of (CH3)(2)Cl+ ions, formed by stationary gamma-radiolysis of bulk CH3Cl, on the corresponding optically active alcohols. The rate constant of the gas-phase regioisomerization of IS' ((3.4-16.0) x 10(6) s(-1)) was found to exceed that of its racemization ((1.9-9.8) x 10(6) s(-1)) over the entire temperature range. Similar differences were observed for the regioisomerization ((2.9-15.0) x 10(6) s(-1)) and the racemization of IIR' ((1.8-9.6) x 10(6) s(-1)). By analogy with previous experimental and theoretical evidence, these results are consistent with intramolecular racemization and regioisomerization processes involving the intermediacy of two distinct hydrogen-bonded complexes, wherein the CH3OH molecule is coplanarly coordinated to the in-plane hydrogens of the 1-methyl-3-ethylallyl moiety. The activation parameters for their formation from the IS' and IIR' were evaluated and compared with those concerning the racemization and regioisomerization of O-protonated (S)-trans-4-hexen-3-ol (IS), previously measured in the gas phase under similar experimental conditions. The comparison reveals that gas-phase racemization and regioisomerization of O-protonated (S)-trans-4-hexen-3-ol (1S') (AOH=H2O) involve transition structures located early along the reaction coordinate, whereas the transition structures involved in the rearrangement of O-methylated (S)-trans-4-hexen-3-ol (1S') and (R)-trans-3-hexen-2-ol (IIR') (AOH = CH3OH) are placed later along the reaction coordinate and are characterized by a strong coordination of the moving CH3OH molecule with the hydrogens of the allylic moiety.
