Carbon-13 NMR line-shape analysis of several cyclic (cyclohexenes and cyclopentanes) cis vicinal tertiary diamines with N-piperidino or N-pyrrolidino substituents reveals barriers to cyclohexane inversion (DELTAH(double dagger)) of 10-11 kcal/mol with DELTAS(double dagger) = 6-8 eu, while for piperidine inversion DELTAH(double dagger) = 10-12 kcal/mol with a DELTAS(double dagger) of 2-9 eu. All cis diamines studied exhibited two pK(a)'s, the first 10-11 and the second 3-5. The crystal structure of cis-1,2-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)cyclopentane monopicrate, I-picrate, shows the diamine, 1, to bc unsymmetrically protonated, the acid proton-nitrogen distances being 2.56 and 0.93 angstrom; the entire assembly of O-(picrate), acid proton, and two nitrogens is almost coplanar, with H+ just 0.04 angstrom out of the O-(picrate), N, N+ plane. The cyclopentane forms a half-chair in which the carbons C-N+ and C-N lie, respectively, 0.32 and 0.28 angstrom on opposite sides of the three-methylene-carbon plane. Carbon-13 NMR of several salts of 1 in CD2Cl2 shows that proton transfer between nitrogens within the cation is fast down to 200 K, while reversible transfer of this proton to counterion is much slower. Activation parameters for nitrogen inversion in the monotrifluoroacetate of 9, found from C-13 NMR line-shape analysis to be DELTAH(double dagger) = 22 kcal/mol and DELTAS(double dagger) = 34 eu, imply that fast reversible transfer of a proton between cation and anion is rate determining to nitrogen inversion.
