Highly Fluorinated Adamantanols: Synthesis, Acidities, and Reactivities
摘要:
Aerosol direct fluorination of 1-adamantyl acetate produces F-1-adamantyl trifluoroacetate and 2-hydryl-F-1-adamantyl trifluoroacetate in a near 1:1 ratio. Hydrolyses of these two esters give the corresponding alcohols, F-adamantan-1-ol and 2-hydryl-F-adamantan-1-ol. 2-Hydryl-F-adamantan-2-ol is synthesized by LiAlH4 reduction of F-adamantanone, The acidities of these alcohols and the rates of their acetylation reactions were measured. A H-1 NMR study of their hydrogen bonding with t-BuOCH(3) is described.
Polarized C-H Groups as Novel Hydrogen-Bond Donors in Hydryl-F-alkyl Esters: Unequivocal Examples of the Pinchas Effect
摘要:
H-1 NMR and IR spectral evidence for a C-H...O hydrogen bonds in 1-[2-hydryl-F-adamantyl] trifluoroacetate and 1,3-[2-hydryl-F-adamantyl] bis(trifluoroacetate) are presented. Evidence indicating a three-center hydrogen bond in 1,3-[2-hydryl-F-adamantyl] bis-(trifluoroacetate) is also presented. Both compounds, despite otherwise normal H-1 NMR chemical shift displacements and carbonyl stretching frequency depressions, show strong increases in C-H stretching frequencies related to hydrogen-bond interactions (the ''Pinchas Effect'').
