TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Laemmermann, Anica A1 - Kühn, Heiner T1 - Synthesis and NMR spectra of the syn and anti isomers of substituted cyclobutanes-evidence for steric and spatial hyperconjugative interactions JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The syn and anti isomers of cis,cis-tricyclo[5.3.0.0(2.6)]dec-3-ene derivatives have been synthesized and their (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra unequivocally analyzed. Both their structures and their (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts were calculated by DFT, the latter two calculations employing the GIAO perturbation method. Additionally, calculated NMR shielding values were partitioned into Lewis and non-Lewis contributions from the bonds and lone pairs involved in the molecules by accompanying NBO and NCS analyses. The differences between the syn and anti isomers were evaluated with respect to steric and spatial hyperconjugation interactions.

Since the intramolecular exchange process could not be sufficiently slowed for spectroscopic evaluation, the conformational equilibrium is thus inaccessible by dynamic NMR. Fortunately, the spatial magnetic properties of the aryl and carbonyl groups attached to the DCPD skeleton can be employed in order to evaluate the conformational state of the system. In this context, the anisotropic effects of the functional groups in the H-1 NMR spectra prove to be the molecular response property of spatial nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS).
