Synthesis and conformational behaviour of ditosyldiaza[2.2]orthometacyclophanes
摘要:
The N,N'-ditosyl-diaza[2.2]orthometacyclophanes 5 a, b were synthesized from N,N-ditosyl-metaphenylenediamine by reaction with (Z)-1,4-dichlorobutene and 1,2-bis-bromomethylbenzene, respectively. Low temperature NMR studies showed that the compound 5 b exists as a 1:1 mixture of chair and boat form of the strained (EZ)-diazanonadiene ring. At room temperature all corresponding resonances are averaged on the NMR time scale (including all four ethylene bridge protons). Going to lower temperatures, in a first step the methylene bridge inversion is frozen (giving two exo H and two endo H, DELTA-G(not-equal) ca. 52 kJ mol-1). In a second step the chair and boat form can be observed separately (DELTA-G(not-equal) ca. 43.5 kJ mol-1 for the chair/boat flip). The assignments were confirmed by 2D NMR experiments.
