TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Koch, Andreas T1 - Is the term "Carbene" justified for remote N-heterocyclic carbenes (r-NHCs) and abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes (aNHCs/MICs)? JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of typical N-heterocyclic carbenes NHCs, r-NHCs, a-NHCs and MICs have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. Prior to that both structures and 13C chemical shifts were calculated and in case of isolated carbenes the computed δ(13C)/ppm values compared (as a quality criterion for obtained structures) with the experimental ones. The TSNMRS values of the studied carbenes, which are in mesomeric equilibrium with zwitterionic (ylide/betaine/mesoionic) resonance contributors, are employed to qualify and quantify the present electronic structure and if the term carbene is still justified to denote the compounds studied. The results, thus obtained from spatial magnetic properties (TSNMRS), are compared with the geometry of the compounds, the corresponding WIBERG's bond index values, and the 13C chemical shifts especially of the carbene electron-deficient centre.

JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of benzyne 1 and analogues (benzene 2, 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene 3, cyclohexen-3-yne 4, cyclohexen-4-yne 5, cyclohexyne 6) have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values could be employed to compare the diatropic ring current effects of benzene and benzyne, and, when compared with the spatial magnetic properties of the analogues, to answer the question whether the benzyne electronic structure is more acetylene- or cumulene-like, supported by structural data and delta(C-13)/ppm values.

The Ph-ax,Ph-ax: Ph-ax,Ph-eq: Ph-eq,Ph-eq conformers ratio has been estimated as of 46.6: 33.1: 20.3 from the M062X/6-311G(d,p) free energy simulation, suggesting the possibility of detecting individual conformers experimentally, e.g., by low-temperature H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. However, only the presence of several conformers has been detected by means of H-1 NMR spectroscopy at 113 K; determination of the (Hz) and G(#) (kcal/mol) parameters for the 6-membered ring interconversion has been impossible due to the signals broadening at low temperature, signal temperature shifts, and extremely low barrier of ring inversion at T-c < 113 K.

Quantum-chemical calculations were carried out both for the isolated species and solvate complexes in gas and in polar medium. The predominance of the 1-MeSaxPheq conformer in gas phase (1-Ph-eq :1-Ph-ax = 55:45, Delta G degrees = 0.13 kcal/mol) determined from GED is consistent with that measured in the freon solution by LT NMR (1-Ph-eq:1-Ph-ax = 65:35, Delta G degrees = 0.12 kcal/mol), the experimentally measured ratios being close to that estimated by quantum chemical calculations at both the DFT and MP2 levels of theory.

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. The reason for the extreme low-field position of proton H-1 could be accounted for by theoretical calculation of structure and spatial magnetic properties of the compound in combination of ring current effects of the aromatic moieties and steric compression within the heavily hindered H(1)-C(1)-C(12b)-C(12a)-C(12)=O structural fragment.
