The Mannich bases that can form o-QM and aza-o-QM were also synthesized by mixing 2-naphthol, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, and morpholine followed by reduction of the nitro group. The highly functionalized aminonaphthol derivatives were then tested in [4+2] cycloaddition with different cyclic imines. The reaction proved to be both regio- and diastereoselective. In all cases, only one reaction product was obtained. Detailed structural analyses of the new polyheterocycles as well as conformational studies including DFT modelling were performed. The relative stability of o-QMs/aza-o-QM were also calculated, and the regioselectivity of the reactions could be explained only when the cycloaddition started from aminodiol 4. It was summarized that starting from diaminonaphthol 25, the regioselectivity of the reaction is driven by the higher nucleophilicity of the amino group compared with the hydroxy group. 12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (11), formed via o-QM formation, was isolated as a side product. The proton NMR spectrum of 11 proved to be very unique from NMR point of view.

X-ray data also revealed a planar trigonal orientation of the Me2N group which is coplanar to carbonyl group with the partial double-bond C-N character. It also demonstrates the synperiplanar position of C=O group with tetrazolyl ring. On average, in solution the plane containing carbonyl bond is almost perpendicular to the plane of the tetrazolyl ring (because of steric effects as confirmed by B3LY12/6-311++G**) while the plane containing Me2N group is coplanar with carbonyl bond which is in contrast with similar urea derivatives and it demonstrates the unusually high rotational energy barrier of these compounds.

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.

For intermediates 2a-f, prepared by the reactions of substituted aminonaphthols with benzyl N-(2-formylphenyl)carbamate, not only the expected trans ring form B and chain form A(1), but also the rearranged chain form A(2) as a new tautomer were detected in DMSO at room temperature. The quantity of A(2) in the tautomeric mixture was changed with time. Conformational analyses of the target heterocycles 3a-f by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical calculations at the DFT level of theory revealed that the oxazine ring preferred a twisted chair conformation and the quinazolone ring was planar. Besides the conformations, both the configurations at C-7a and C-15 and the preferred rotamers of the 1-naphthyl substituent at C-15 were assigned, which allowed evaluation of the aryl substituent-dependent steric hindrance in this part of the molecules.

Glycogen is also believed to lack monophosphates at glucosyl carbon C6, an essential phosphorylation site in plant starch metabolism. We now show that glycogen phosphorylation is not due to a glycogen synthase side reaction, that C6 is a major glycogen phosphorylation site, and that C6 monophosphates predominate near centers of glycogen molecules and positively correlate with glycogen chain lengths.

Special emphasis was laid on the potential contribution of the polar component in these steric substituent parameters. In the light of our model the Omega(S) scale seems to be dominantly a steric substituent constant scale as is seen on the strengths of the good correlation between the Omega(S) constants of the CR3 group and the total steric exchange energy values E-TSEE for the model compounds. However, the Omega(S) values also seem to include a minor electronic component due to the varying electrostatic effect via the C alpha atom. On the other hand, E-R and E-S' parameters largely hinge on the size dependent polar effect of the CR3 alkyl group. By way of our model this repulsive interaction can be quantified by descriptor Delta q(OCO), the natural charge difference q(C)(C=O) - Sigma qO for the O-C(=O) functional group. Delta q(OCO) depends on the E-TSEE values, on qC alpha and on the polarization coefficients of the oxygen hybrid in the NBO of the pi(C=O) bond. The size sensitivity of the kinetic E-S' constants can be connected to variation of the Burgi-Dunitz angle in the transition state for the standard reaction used.

As the Si-C bonds are elongated with respect to C-C bonds, the barriers to ring inversion are only between 5.2-6.0 (ax -> eq) and 5.4-6.0 (eq -> ax) kcal mol(-1). Parallel calculations at the DFT and MP2 level of theory (as well as the G2 calculations for compound 1) show qualitative agreement with the experiment. The additivity/nonadditivity of conformational energies of substituents on cyclohexane and silacyclohexane derivatives is analyzed. The geminally disubstituted cyclohexanes containing a phenyl group show large deviations from additivity, whereas in 1-methyl-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane and 3-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane the effects of the methyl and phenyl groups are almost additive. The reasons for the different conformational preferences in carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds are analyzed using the homodesmotic reactions approach.}, language = {en} } @article{KleinpeterKoch2012, author = {Kleinpeter, Erich and Koch, Andreas}, title = {Spatial magnetic properties subject to lone pair and pi electron delocalization in benzenoid and quinoid structures : are quinoid tautomers really nonaromatic?}, issn = {1551-7004}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of benzenoid and quinoid tautomeric structures such as benzodifurantrione and phenazine-type molecules have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept of Paul von Rague Schleyer and visualized as iso- chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values were employed to quantify and visualize the partial aromaticity of the studied compounds. In the case of the surprisingly more stable quinoid tautomers, the aromaticity-synonymous with stability due to the conjugation of p electrons and lone pairs-was not found to be particularly reduced.}, language = {en} }
