We characterized experimentally the substituent effect of a 5-exo substituent on the π facial selectivities of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenes toward electrophilic oxidative reactions such as epoxidation and dihydroxylation, and we discuss the underlying orbital interactions of vicinal σ orbitals and the olefinic π orbital involved in bicyclo[2.2.2]octenes, and commonly in methylenenorbornanes. Of significance is the out-of-phase motif of these σ-π couplings. Electron-withdrawing substituents such as cyano and carboxylic acid groups unequalize the relevant σ-π coupling, leading to the observed syn-facial preference. Alkyl substituents exhibit an electron-donative perturbing effect, depending on the bicyclic ring system.
我们通过实验表征了 5-exo 取代基对双环[2.2.2]
辛烯对环氧化和二羟基化等亲电氧化反应的 π 面选择性的影响,并讨论了邻位 σ 轨道和烯属 π 的潜在轨道相互作用。轨道涉及双环[2.2.2]
辛烯,并且常见于亚甲基降
冰片烷。重要的是这些 σ-π 耦合的异相基序。吸电子取代基(例如
氰基和
羧酸基团)使相关的 σ-π 耦合不均衡,导致观察到的顺面偏好。烷基取代基表现出给电子扰动效应,具体取决于双环系统。
