TY - JOUR A1 - Wessig, Pablo A1 - Pick, Charlotte T1 - Photochemical synthesis and properties of axially chiral naphthylpyridines JF - Journal of photochemistry and photobiology : A, Chemistry N2 - Five alkynyl pyridines were prepared and cyclized to naphthylpyridines as the main products in the course of a Photo-Dehydro-Diels-Alder reaction. Four of the final products are axially chiral and the determination of the rotational barrier by DFT calculations, dynamic NMR and H PLC experiments is demonstrated. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The geometry of optimized structures of the axial 'equatorial chair conformers was computed at the ab initio MO and DFT levels of theory. Only one preferred conformation was obtained for the axial and the equatorial conformer as well. When comparing the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexanone esters with those of the corresponding cyclohexyl esters a certain polarity contribution of the cyclohexanone framework was revealed, which is independent of the substituent effects and increases the stability of the axial conformers by a constant amount.

Both the preferred conformers were assigned and the barrier to the ring inversion of the saturated six-membered ring determined. From 1 the corresponding methyl iodide salts were produced, their structure studied by X-ray analysis and found to be in excellent agreement with the results of the theoretical calculations.

A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich T1 - Conformational preferences of Si-Ph,H and Si-Ph,Me silacyclohexanes and 1,3-thiasilacyclohexanes. Additivity of conformational energies in 1,1-disubstituted heterocyclohexanes JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The conformational equilibria of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane 1, 3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane 2, 1-methyl-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane 3, and 3-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane 4 have been studied for the first time by low temperature C-13 NMR spectroscopy at 103 K. Predominance of the equatorial conformer of compound 1 (Ph-eq/Ph-ax=78%:22%) is much less than in its carbon analog, phenylcyclohexane (nearly 100% of Ph-eq). And in contrast to 1-methyl-1-phenylcyclohexane, the conformers with the equatorial Ph group are predominant for compounds 3 and 4: at 103 K, Ph-eq/Ph-ax ratios are 63%:37% (3) and 68%:32% (4). 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.

The geometry optimized structures of the axial/equatorial chair conformers were computed at the DFT level of theory. Only one preferred conformation of the ester group was obtained for both the axial and the equatorial conformer, respectively. The content of the axial conformer increases with growing polarity of the 6-membered ring moiety; hereby, in addition, the effect of sp(2) hybridization/polarity of C(4)= O/C(4)= CH2 on the present conformational equilibria is critically evaluated. Another dynamic process could be studied, for the first time in this kind of compounds. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
