X-ray structure and conformational study of tris(2-(dimethylamino)phenyl)methanol salt derivatives: Roles of anions and hydrogen bond
摘要:
The tris(2-(dimethylamino)phenyl)methanol, a tertiary alcohol, can form stable salts with acids in water. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the organic cation of the tetrachlorocobaltate salt, [(2-(Me)(2)N+H-C6H4)(3)C-O-](2+), was constructed by three zwitterionic hydrogen bonds which share a trifurcated oxygen anion center. The influences of the anions on the hydrogen-bond structure of the organic cation were studied by using H-1 NMR spectroscopy, as well as Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF94) calculation and analysis.

X-ray structure and conformational study of tris(2-(dimethylamino)phenyl)methanol: Roles of hydrogen bond in conformational conversions of molecules
摘要:
Tris(2-(dimethylamino)phenyl)methanol, (2-(Me)(2)N-C6H4)(3)COH, was synthesized and characterized by using NMR, EA and ESI-MS. Single crystal of the 2-syn/1-anti conformer of the tertiary alcohol was obtained and analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The variable-temperature H-1 NMR experiments reveal that, in solution, the tertiary alcohol is an equilibrium mixture of four conformers, all-syn, 2-syn/1-anti, 1-syn/2-anti and all-anti. The results show that hydrogen bond plays an important role in both intra- and inter-conformational conversions of molecules. The intra-conformational conversions within specific conformers are just helical changes. The inter-conformational conversions between conformers occurred via one-ring flip process.
