Synthesis and Conformational Dynamics of 1,1',5,5'-Tetrahydro-7,7',8,8'-tetramethyl-3,3'-spirobi[2,4-benzodithiepin]
摘要:
The title compound 1 was prepared in one step from 1,2-bis(chloro methyl)-4,5-dimethylbenzene and sodium trithiocarbonate generated in situ from carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Conformational analysis of 1 has been carried out using H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, and semiempirical calculations. The results indicate that in the solid state 1 exists in a chair-twist-boat conformation while in solution it undergoes two intramolecular dynamic processes, pseudorotation at lower temperature (similar to 250 K) and ring inversion at higher temperature (similar to 280 K), with the activation energies (Delta G(double dagger)) of approximately 54 and 56 kc/mol, respectively....................................................................................................................................................................................................................goes two intramolecular dynamic processes, pseudorotation at lower temperature (similar to 250 K) and ring inversion at higher temperature (similar to 280 K), with the activation energies (Delta G double dagger) of approximately 54 and 56 kc/mol, respectively.
