Stereochemistry of planarchiral compounds, XIV. Static and dynamic stereochemistry of 3,3?-dimethoxy-2,2?-bi(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl)
摘要:
The title compound 6 was prepared from 3-methoxy-1,6-methano[10]annulene (4) via lithiation and oxidative coupling of the intermediate 5 with copper(II)chloride. Three stereoisomers (two rotamers of the racemate, 6a and 6b, and the meso-form 6c) were obtained and their configurations assigned both by H-1 NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystal structure analysis of 6a.Starting the reaction sequence from optically active 2-bromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene, (-)-3, of known absolute chirality (S)p established the absolute stereochemistry of (+)-6a as (R)p(R)a(R)p and (R)p(S)a(R)p for the dextrorotatory rotamer 6b. 3-Methoxy-1,6-methanol[10]annulene (4) as well as 6a and 6b were easily resolved by enantioselective chromatography of the racemic mixtures on cellulose triacetate (CTA) in ethanol. A rotational barrier of DELTAG# = 132 kJ . mol-1 between 6a and 6b was determined both by thermal equilibration and by CD-kinetics.Finally, also the meso-form 6c - because of its high rotational barrier (118 kJ) - could be resolved on CTA in its enantiomers ([alpha]D = 200-degrees in ethanol). From chiroptical comparison (CD) with 6a and 6b, resp., the chirality (R)p(S)a(S)p was deduced for (+)-6c.
