TY - JOUR A1 - Baranac-Stojanovic, Marija A1 - Klaumuenzer, Ute A1 - Markovic, Rade A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich T1 - Structure, configuration, conformation and quantification of the push pull-effect of 2-alkylidene-4- thiazolidinones and 2-alkylidene-4,5-fused bicyclic thiazolidine derivatives N2 - Structures of a series of push-pull 2-alkylidene-4-thiazolidinones and 2-alkylidene-4,5-fused bicyclic thiazolidine derivatives were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory in the gas phase and discussed with respect to configurational and conformational stability. Employing the GIAO method, C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the C-2, C-2', C-4 and C-5 atoms were calculated at the same level of theory in the gas phase and with inclusion of solvent, and compared with experimental data. Push-pull effect of all compounds was quantified by means of the quotient pi*/pi, length of the partial double bond, C-13 NMR chemical shift difference (Delta delta(C=C)) and H-1 NMR chemical shifts of olefinic protons. The effect of bromine on donating and accepting ability of other substituents of the push- pull C=C double bond is discussed, too.

Both the stereochemistry (cis/trans-isomers) by steric twist and the push-pull character by both C-13 chemical shift differences (Delta delta(C C)) and the occupation quotient (pi(C C)/pi(C C)) were studied; the latter two parameters can be readily employed to precisely quantify the push-pull effect in alkynes.
