The nature of these contacts is investigated in this work. MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculations predicted the presence of improper hydrogen bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax of different strength in substituted cyclohexane rings. To support the theoretical predictions with experimental evidence, several synthetic 2-substituted adamantane analogues (1-24) with suitable improper H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts of different strength were used as models of a substituted cyclohexane ring. The H-1 NMR signal separation, Delta delta(gamma-CH2), within the cyclohexane ring gamma-CH(2)s is raised when the MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculated parameters, reflecting the strength of the H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contact, are increased. In molecules with enhanced improper H-bonded contacts C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax, like those having sterically crowded contacts (Y-ax = t-Bu) or contacts including considerable electrostatic attractions (Y-ax = O-C or O=C) the calculated DFT steric energies of the gamma-axial hydrogens are considerably reduced reflecting their electron cloud compression. The results suggest that the proton H-ax electron cloud compression, caused by the C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts, and the resulting increase in Delta delta(gamma-CH2) value can be effected not just from van der Waals spheres compression, but more generally from electrostatic attraction forces and van der Waals repulsion, both of which are improper H-bonding components.}, language = {en} } @article{PihlajaSinkkonenStajeretal.2011, author = {Pihlaja, Kalevi and Sinkkonen, Jari and Stajer, Geza and Koch, Andreas and Kleinpeter, Erich}, title = {1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolanes - synthesis and stereochemistry}, series = {Magnetic resonance in chemistry}, volume = {49}, journal = {Magnetic resonance in chemistry}, number = {7}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {0749-1581}, doi = {10.1002/mrc.2764}, pages = {443 -- 449}, year = {2011}, abstract = {1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolane (4) and its cis- and trans-2-methyl (5,6), -4-methyl (7,8) and -5-methyl (9,10) derivatives were prepared by oxidizing the corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes (1-3) with NaIO(4) in water.

CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) with the increasing size of the acyloxy substitution. The nature of this unexpected steric substituent effect, which is opposite to general stereochemical concepts, was studied by means of ab kiln MO method, accompanied by NBO and isodesmic calculations. NBO parameters seem to be good descriptors for quantitative prediction of the experimental Delta G degrees value of the title conformational equilibrium. The origin and propagation of the substituent effect of the polar substitutions (CH(2)Cl, CHCl(2), CCl(3), CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) differ, however, from those of the pure alkyl (Me, Et, iPr, tBu) substitutions. The Delta G degrees value of the polar derivatives depends on the qC8 charges, on the occupation of the sigma(center dot)(C1-07) orbital and on the hyperconjugative pi(center dot)(c=O) -> sigma(center dot)(C10-X) and sigma(center dot)(C10-X) -> pi(center dot)(c=O) interactions. The substituent sensitivity of these NBC parameters for the two conformers differ to the effect that the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left side with increasing electron withdrawing character of the acyloxy group. The Delta G degrees values of the alkyl derivatives are interpreted in terms of the calculated dipole moments. The destabilization in the non-polar medium (the experimental Delta G degrees values used were measured in CD(2)Cl(2)) due to the enhanced dipolar character is more prominent in the case of the equatorial alkyl conformers. As the consequence, the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left despite the increasing size of the R group when going from Me to tBu substitution.}, language = {en} } @article{KleinpeterKoch2011, author = {Kleinpeter, Erich and Koch, Andreas}, title = {Chelatoaromaticity-existing: yes or no?
