Photochemical Nitration by Tetranitromethane. Part XLIV. Some Reactions of 2-Phenylpropene and 2,4,6-Trimethylstyrene with Tetranitromethane: Competition between the Radical Chain Addition Reaction and Isoxazolidine Formation: Nitrogen Inversion in Some Isoxazolidines.
摘要:
Reaction of 2-phenylpropene with tetranitromethane in dichloromethane occurs either slowly in the dark or more rapidly photochemically to give 1-nitro-2-phenyl-2-trinitromethylpropane (1) and the two diastereomers of 5-methyl-2-(2'-nitro-1'-phenyl)ethoxy-3,3-dinitro-5-phenylisoxazolidine (5 and 6). In diethyl ether solution these products are also formed, but the yields of 5 and 6 are increased at the expense of the nitro-trinitromethyl adduct 1. At 23 degrees C in [H-2]chloroform solution each isoxazolidine 5 and 6 exists as two N-invertimers. Variable temperature H-1 NMR studies of 5 and 6 revealed band broadening and coalescence of all signals in the temperature range 50-100 degrees C; the rate constants and corresponding free energies of activation were identical for the two isoxazolidines 5 and 6, Delta G double dagger=74.7(5) kJ mol(-1) at 353 K. A single-crystal X-ray analysis of isoxazolidine 5 is reported.Photolysis of 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene with tetranitromethane in either dichloromethane or acetonitrile gives the nitro-trinitromethyl adduct, 2-(2',4',6'-trimethylphenyl)-1-nitro-2-trinitromethylethane (9), and nitromethyl 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl ketone (10).Base-catalysed eliminations of nitroform from adducts 1 and 9 give the corresponding (E)-nitro alkenes 7 and 11, respectively, kinetic studies showing that the rate of elimination from the secondary but sterically more compressed trinitromethyl compound 9 was greater (x15) than for the tertiary trinitromethyl compound 1.The modes of formation of adducts 1 and 9, isoxazolidines 5 and 6, and nitro ketone 10 are discussed.
