In the present work, the validity of sector and helicity rules correlating the stereostructure of cis-enones containing the 2-methylenecyclopentanone unit with the sign of the nÏ* Cotton effect (CE) observed in their electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra is assessed. To this end, a series of model steroid cis-enones with five-membered ketone rings was synthesized. To investigate the scope and limitations of existing rules a combination of ECD spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were utilized. A comparison of the experimental ECD spectra with spectra simulated by the TD-DFT calculations gave a reasonable interpretation of the nÏ* CE's observed in the 360â335 nm spectral range. The results suggest that the previously articulated rules are not applicable to the investigated compounds. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of collected data, a new rule correlating perfectly the structure of studied enones with the signs of their nÏ* CE was proposed. This rule correlates directly the sign of the torsion angle âbâ of the cyclopentanone ring of cis-enone with the sign of the nÏ* CE.
在本研究工作中,评估了与含有
2-亚甲基环戊酮单元的顺式环烯酮的立体结构相关的扇区和螺旋规则的有效性,这些规则关联了它们在电子圆二色性(
ECD)光谱中观察到的n→π* Cotton效应(CE)的符号。为此,合成了一系列具有五元酮环的模型甾体顺式环烯酮。为了探究现有规则的适用范围和局限性,采用了
ECD光谱学、X射线分析和含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)计算相结合的方法。通过比较实验
ECD光谱与由TD-DFT计算模拟的光谱,对在360-335 nm光谱范围内观察到的n→π* CE给出了合理的解释。结果表明,先前阐述的规则不适用于所研究的化合物。基于对收集数据的全面分析,提出了一条与所研究环烯酮结构完美关联的新规则,该规则直接关联顺式环烯酮的
环戊酮环的扭转角“b”的符号与n→π* CE的符号。
