A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich T1 - Synthesis and conformational analysis of glycomimetic analogs of thiochitobiose N2 - The synthesis of six analogs of N,N;-diacetylchitobiose is reported, including a novel transglycosylation reaction for the preparation of S-aryl thioglycosides. The conformations of the compounds were studied by a combination of NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling, using force field calculations. In the case of the S-aryl thioglycosides with exclusively S-glycosidic linkages, dihedral angles of the disaccharidic S-glycosidic bonds, ;; and ;; and of the S-arylglycoside bonds, ; and ;, were found to be similar, whereas they were different in mixed glycosides and in a thiazoline derivative. An adequate correlation between the calculated H,H-distances of the local minima and the measured NOE contacts was achieved by applying population-weighted averages over participating conformers based on weighted relative energies.

The observed free energy barriers are 9.2;10.3 kcal mol;1; the lower values were obtained with increasing conjugation (substituents of higher electron withdrawing power) along the series. The barrier to ring inversion of 1e was solvent independent. X-ray data of compounds 1b,d reveal the chair conformation of the six-membered ring, the flattened pyramidal orientation of the ring nitrogen atom, and the sulfonyl group in equatorial position with the plane containing the Caryl;S;N bond perpendicular to the plane of the benzene ring. In addition, the sulfonamide group prefers a conformation with the S;C bond antiperiplanar with respect to the nitrogen atom lone pair and the ;CH2;N;CH2; moieties in staggered conformation with the S;O bonds of the SO2 group.

Investigations on phase behavior have revealed that a greater extension in direction to the water-rich corner can be found at pH 4 compared to pH 9. In order to understand changes in the microstructure, polymer-surfactant interactions in dependence on pH have been examined by means of diffusion-ordered spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, as well as conductivity measurements. The results have proven that the present microemulsion consists of water-in-oil droplets, with the polyampholyte located more in the inner core of the water droplets at pH 9 rather than at the interphase of the surfactant film at pH 4.

For the corresponding global minima structures, thus obtained, the occupation quotients of antibonding pi* and bonding pi orbitals (pi*(C C)/pi(C C)) and the bond lengths (d(C C)) of the central C C triple bond were computed and correlated to each other. The linear dependence obtained for the two push-pull parameters d(C C) and pi*(C C)/pi(C C) quantifies changes in the push-pull effect of substituents while deviations from the best line of fit indicate and ascertain quantitatively to what extend the inductive (+/-l) substituent effect changes with respect to the bond length of the C C triple bond.

The signs and extents of these spatial effects on the H-1 chemical shifts of the isoquinoline protons were compared with the experimental H-1 NMR spectra. The differences between the experimental delta (H-1)/ppm values and the calculated anisotropic effects of the aromatic moieties are discussed in terms of the steric compression that occurs in the Compounds studied.

The ring-chain tautomerism of the thiosemicarbazides, the regio- and stereoselectivity of the reactions, the adopted conformations and E/Z configurations of the products, the prototropic tautomerism of all the compounds, and the reasons for the predominance of the s-cis conformation of the Z configuration of the 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one product in particular were all extensively analyzed. Comparison of the modeled structures were also made to the 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one and 1,3-thiazin-4-one structures of the methyl derivative as well as 1-(9-acridinyl)thiosemicarbazide available from X-ray crystallographic analysis. Tactics utilizing spectroscopic methods {IR frequencies (;) and NMR chemical shifts (;), scalar coupling constants (J), and NOEs (;)} in conjunction with molecular modeling calculations of the spectral parameters {frequency calculations (;) and NMR ; using the GIAO method and J by calculation of the Fermi contact term} were evaluated in terms of proving 5- or 6-membered ring formation.

A formal [3,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement was proposed as the mechanistic rationale for this unprecedented transformation. Saponification with potassium hydroxide furnished the free phenol derivatives which were studied by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical DFT calculations, establishing intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the spatial magnetic properties. Additionally, mass spectrometric fragmentation was investigated by B/E-linked scans and collision-induced dissociation experiments. The fragmentation pattern devoted a new gas phase rearrangement process, which proved to be unique and characteristic for pyrazolo[1,5-;]quinoxalines.

The linear dependence of d(C C) versus pi*(C C)/pi(C C) quantifies changes in the push,pull effect while deviations from the latter correlation indicate and ascertain quantitatively to what extent steric hindrance restricts the strain-less conjugation of the C C triple bond pi- orbitals in the disubstituted alkynes.

The obtained calculation results have clearly indicated that the free molecule in electronic ground state is very flexible and accordingly has many possible stable conformers of different conformational properties at room temperature; among them, the one having a macrocyclic ring structure in which all of the ether units oriented toward the center of the ring was determined the energetically most preferable conformer. In addition, the equilibrium geometrical parameters, vibrational normal modes and associated IR spectral data of the determined most stable three conformers of the molecule were calculated at B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) levels of theory. A successful assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the recorded experimental solid phase and solution phase IR spectra of the molecule was achieved in the light of the theoretical data obtained from these DFT calculations. To fit the calculated harmonic wavenumbers to the experimental ones, two different scaling procedures, referred to as "Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field (SQM FF) methodology" and "Scaling wavenumbers with empirical dual scale factors", were proceeded independently.
