Quantum chemical calculation of 19F NMR chemical shifts of trifluoromethyl diazirine photoproducts and precursors
摘要:
Irradiation of aryl(trifluoromethyl)diazirines may result in a multitude of products, which are difficult to assign in the F-19 NMR spectrum. In this article, it is demonstrated that an average accuracy of 2.9 ppm (standard deviation) can be achieved by quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP 6-311G++(2d,2p) level of theory, followed by a Boltzmann weighting of the optimized conformers. A set of 30 compounds was investigated both-experimentally and theoretically. F-19 NMR chemical shifts of precursor Z-oximes and Z-tosyloximes ranged from delta(F) -62.9 to -61.8 ppm, whereas their E counterparts showed shifts between delta(F) -67.2 and -66.2 ppm. Stereochemical assignments were confirmed by two X-ray analyses. Quantum chemical calculation also allowed the assignment of the configuration of an (E,E) azine. Trifluoromethyl diazirines exhibited a delta(F) between -66.1 and -65.6, diaziridines between -76.2 and -75.9 ppm. The smallest delta(F) values were observed for alpha-oxygenated trifluoromethyl compounds (delta(F) -78.9 to -77.4 ppm). The average deviation of the calculated from the experimental values corresponds to only about 1% of the standard F-19 NMR chemical shift range. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
