Rotational barrier (ap→sp) in 9-(2-formyl-1-naphthyl)fluorene was determined: ΔH\eweq24.0 kcal/mol and ΔS\eweq−7.9 e.u. Oxidation of the aldehyde with chromium(VI) oxide was extremely slow in the ap form, whereas it proceeded smoothly in the sp form. As models of the 2 steps involved in the aldehyde oxidation, oxime formation of the aldehyde and oxidation of related alcohols were carried out to conclude that the second elimination step in the aldehyde oxidation is slow in the ap form because of the steric effect. Dehydration of the oxime of the aldehyde exhibited a large ksp/kap value as well. Sodium tetrahydridoborate reduction and Grignard additions of the aldehyde were also carried out to show that the former gave a large ksp/kap value whereas the latter exhibited rather a small ksp/kap. The implication of the results is discussed.

萘基)
芴的旋转屏障(ap→sp)被测定为:ΔH=24.0 kcal/mol,ΔS=-7.9 e.u.。醛与
氧化铬(VI)的氧化在ap形式下极为缓慢,而在sp形式下则进展顺利。作为醛氧化中涉及的2个步骤的模型,进行了醛的
肟形成和相关醇的氧化,以得出结论:由于空间位阻效应,醛氧化中的第二个消除步骤在ap形式下很慢。醛的
肟脱
水也表现出很大的ksp/kap值。还进行了醛的四氢
硼酸钠还原和格氏加成,以表明前者给出了很大的ksp/kap值,而后者则表现出相当小的ksp/kap。讨论了结果的含义。
