N-Substituted 4,4-dimethyl-4-silathiane 1-sulfimides Me2Si(sic)S=NSO2R [R- Ph (1), CF3 (2)] were studied experimentally by variable temperature dynamic NMR spectroscopy. Low temperature 13 C NMR spectra of the two compounds revealed the frozen ring inversion process and approximately equal content of the axial and equatorial conformers. Calculations of the 4-silathiane derivatives 1, 2 and the model compound [R Me (3)] as well as their carbon analogs, the similarly N-substituted (sic)S=NSO2R thiane 1-sulfimides [R = Ph (4), CF3 (5), Me (6)] at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) level in the gas phase and in chloroform solution using the PCM model at the same level of theory showed a strong dependence of the relative stability of the conformer on the solvent. The electronegative trifluoromethyl group increases the relative stability of the axial conformer.
Reactions of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with alpha-methylstyrene, 2-methylpent-1-ene, and cycloocta-1,5-diene in the system t-BuOCl-NaI were studied. In the reaction with alpha-methylstyrene 1-iodo-2-phenylpropan-2-ol was the only isolated product. The reaction with 2-methylpent-1-ene gave a mixture of N,N'-(2-methylpentane-1,2-diyl)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonamide), trifluoro-N-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpentyl)-methanesulfonamide, and N,N'-[oxybis(2-methylpentan-2,1-diyl)]bis(trifluoromethanesulfonamide). Trifluoromethanesulfonamide reacted with cycloocta-1,5-diene to produce a mixture of 2,5-diiodo-9-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane and 2,5-diiodo-9-oxabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane; this reaction may be regarded as the first example of direct assembly of bicyclononane skeleton.
The conformational equilibria of 3-methyl-3-silathiane 5, 3-fluoro-3-methyl-3-silathiane 6 and 1-fluoro-1- methyl-1-silacyclohexane 7 have been studied using low temperature 13C NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The conformer ratio at 103;K was measured to be about 5ax:5eq;=;15:85, 6ax:6eq;=;50:50 and 7ax:7eq;=;25:75. The equatorial preference of the methyl group in 5 (0.35;kcal;mol;1) is much less than in 3-methylthiane 9 (1.40;kcal;mol;1) but somewhat greater than in 1-methyl-1- silacyclohexane 1 (0.23;kcal;mol;1). Compounds 5-7 have low barriers to ring inversion: 5.65 (ax;;;eq) and 6.0 (eq;;;ax) kcal mol;1 (5), 4.6 (6), 5.1 (Meax;;;Meeq) and 5.4 (Meeq;;;Meax) kcal;mol;1 (7). Steric effects cannot explain the observed conformational preferences, like equal population of the two conformers of 6, or different conformer ratio for 5 and 7. Actually, by employing the NBO analysis, in particular, considering the second order perturbation energies, vicinal stereoelectronic interactions between the Si-X and adjacent C-H, C-S, and C-C bonds proved responsible.
The conformational equilibria of 3-methyl-3-silathiane 5, 3-fluoro-3-methyl-3-silathiane 6 and 1-fluoro-1-methyl-1- silacyclohexane 7 have been studied using low temperature C-13 NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The conformer ratio at 103 K was measured to be about 5(ax):5(eq) - 15:85, 6(ax):6(eq)-50:50 and 7(ax):7(eq)-25:75. The equatorial preference of the methyl group in 5 (0.35 kcal mol(-1)) is much less than in 3-methylthiane 9 (1.40 kcal mol(-1)) but somewhat greater than in 1-methyl-1-silacyclohexane 1 (0.23 kcal mol(-1)). Compounds 5-7 have low barriers to ring inversion: 5.65 (ax -> eq) and 6.0 kcal mol(-1) (eq -> ax) (5), 4.6 kcal mol(-1) (6), 5.1 kcal mol(-1) (Me-ax -> Me-eq), and 5.4 kcal mol(-1) (Me-eq -> Me-ax) (7).
