Rotational features of carbon-nitrogen bonds in N-aryl maleimides. Atroposelective reactions of o-tert-butylphenylmaleimides
摘要:
Atroposelective addition and cycloaddition reactions of N-2-(tert-butylphenyl)- and N-2,5-(di-tert-butylphenyl)maleimide and a substituted derivative have been studied. Good to excellent stereoselectivities are generally observed, and high rotation barriers (about 29 kcal/mol) prevent the products from interconverting. Crystal structures of the precursors and products support a straight forward model where reactants attack trans to the o-tert-butyl group. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
