The conformational equilibrium of the axial/equatorial conformers of 4-methylene-cyclohexyl pivalate is studied by dynamic NMR spectroscopy in a methylene chloride/freon mixture. At 153K, the ring interconversion gets slow on the nuclear magnetic resonance timescale, the conformational equilibrium (-G degrees) can be examined, and the barrier to ring interconversion (G(#)) can be determined. The structural influence of sp(2) hybridization on both G degrees and G(#) of the cyclohexyl moiety can be quantified.
Quinoxalines XV : convenient synthesis and structural study of pyrazolo[1,5-alpha]quinoxalines
(2009)
A series of aryloxymethylquinoxaline oximes, hitherto unknown and synthesized from the corresponding aldehydes, afforded in only one step pyrazolo[1,5-;]quinoxalines in the presence of acetic anhydride at high temperatures. A formal [3,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement was proposed as the mechanistic rationale for this unprecedented transformation. Saponification with potassium hydroxide furnished the free phenol derivatives which were studied by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical DFT calculations, establishing intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the spatial magnetic properties. Additionally, mass spectrometric fragmentation was investigated by B/E-linked scans and collision-induced dissociation experiments. The fragmentation pattern devoted a new gas phase rearrangement process, which proved to be unique and characteristic for pyrazolo[1,5-;]quinoxalines.
The esters of 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and a series of carboxylic acids R-COOH with R of different electronic and steric influence (R=Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, CF3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, CH2Br, CHBr2, and CBr3) were synthesized and the conformational equilibria studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy at 103 K and at 295 K, respectively. The geometry of optimized structures of the axial/equatorial chair conformers was computed at the ab initio MO and DFT levels of theory. Only one preferred conformation was obtained for the axial and the equatorial conformer as well. When comparing the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexanone esters with those of the corresponding cyclohexyl esters a certain polarity contribution of the cyclohexanone framework was revealed, which is independent of the substituent effects and increases the stability of the axial conformers by a constant amount.
