π-Cation and π-Dipole-Stabilizing Interactions in a Simple Model System with Cofacial Aromatic Rings
摘要:
Four 1,8-disubstituted naphthalenes having a l-naphthyl ring cofacial to a second ring were prepared by a Suzuki-type coupling of a bromide with a borane, a boronic acid, or a boronic ester in the presence of Pd(0). The second ring is either a positively charged N-methylated 3-pyridyl (4A) or a 3-(trimethylammonio)phenyl group (7A) or a neutral 3-tolyl (5) or 3-(dimethylamino)phenyl (7) ring. At ambient temperatures, all exhibit atropisomerism. The syn isomer predominates over the anti form, suggesting that pi-charge and pi-dipole electrostatic through-space interactions preferentially stabilize the more sterically hindered syn isomer. The largest preference for the syn isomer, a factor of 3.1, was found for the trimethylammonio substrate-7A in CDCl3. Semiempirical computations (AM1 and PM3) predict that the syn isomer is lower in energy than the anti form of the positively charged compounds, but the preference for the neutral compounds is small enough to be ambiguous.
