Multinuclear dynamic NMR spectroscopy of 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-1,3,5-dioxaazinane (4) revealed the existence of two close in energy chair conformers with differently oriented CF3 groups with respect to the ring. Of the two alternative routes for their interconversion, the ring inversion path with intermediate formation of the corresponding 2,5-twist-conformer is preferred, with the energy barrier of 11.2 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the experimental value (11.7 kcal/mol). The Perlin effect is studied experimentally and calculated theoretically for all CH2 groups and found to be subject to the nature of the adjacent heteroatoms O and N, respectively.
Reduction of 4-nitro-1-ethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole with aluminum in alkaline medium resulted in a syn-isomer of 1,2- bis(1-ethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)diazene 1-oxide. The latter according to the data of X-ray diffraction analysis existed in the crystal as the most stable s-cis,s-trans-conformer, and in solution, as showed NMR data, as a mixture of s-cis,s-trans- and s-trans,s-trans-conformers. The data of quantum-chemical calculations are in agreement with the results of the structural studies.
Acid-catalyzed reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with paraformaldehyde in ethyl acetate led to the formation of oxymethylated products that did not form in the reaction carried out in sulfuric acid. Following products were obtained: 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-1,3-dioxazinane, 3,7-bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-1,5,3,7-dioxadiazocane, and a complex of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with 2,4,8,10-tetraoxospiro[5,5]undecene, 1:1. The spiroring resulted from the cyclization of pentaerythritol under the action of formaldehyde. The pentaerythritol formed in its turn by oxymethylation of the methyl group of ethyl acetate with paraformaldehyde followed by the reduction of the COOEt group into CH2 OH by the formaldehyde.
