The analysis of the IR carbonyl band of some 3,3-bis[(4'-substituted phenylsulfanyl)]1-methyl-2-piperidinones 1-5 bearing as substituentsOMe1, Me2, H3, Cl4 and Br5, supported by B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations for 3, indicated the existence of three conformers in the gas phase and practically a single conformer in solution. In the gas phase, the c(1) conformer is less polar and slightly more stable than the most polar c(2) conformer. The c(3) conformer is the least polar and least stable conformer. The summing up of the selected natural bond orbital delocalization orbital energies is practically the same (ca.136 kcal mol(-1)) for the c(1), c(2) and c(3) conformers of 3. Therefore, the trend of the [O delta- (CO)(center dot center dot center dot H delta+) o-Ph] (hydrogen bond) attractive electrostatic interactions along with the trend of the [O delta- (CO)S-center dot center dot center dot(delta-)] repulsive electrostatic interactions are the main factors which determine the observed computed relative populations for the c(1) (44%), c(2) (31%) and c(3) (25%) conformers. Moreover, the IR single carbonyl stretching band found (for 1-5) in solvents of increasing relative permissivity (CCl4, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, CH3CN), in agreement with polarisable continuum model calculations (for 3), show that the most polar c(2) conformer is practically unique in the solution (for 1-5), and the geometry is very close to that of the c(2') conformer in the solid state (for 1-4).[GRAPHICS].
