Fine-tuned anomeric effect? JF - JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY J2 - J ORG CHEM VL - 68 PY - 2003 IS - 14 SP - 5705 EP - 5712 PG - 8 SN - 0022-3263 DO - 10.1021/jo034417+ UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1013527 ID - 1013527 AB - The epimerization reactions of conformationally inflexible 2-aryl-1,3-N,N-heterocycles were used as model systems to study the role of the nitrogen lone pair-C2 associated antibonding orbital hyperconjugative interactions in the experimentally observed substituent-dependent generalized anomeric effect. The measured reaction free enthalpies were found to correlate well with the sum of the hyperconjugative stabilization energies of all the vicinal donor-acceptor orbital overlaps around C2, obtained from ab initio NBO analysis, and both quantities correlated linearly with the Hammett-Brown substituent constant. The individual stereoelectronic interactions (n(N)-sigma*(C2-N), n(N)-sigma*(C2-Ar), n(N-sigma)*(C2-H)) were also observed to exhibit a substituent dependence, despite their distance from the 2-aryl substituent and their nonperiplanar arrangement. The higher the electron-withdrawing effect of the 2-aryl substituent, the larger was the stabilization for n(N)-sigma*(C2-Ar), while the overlaps n(N)-sigma*(C2-N) and n(N)-sigma*(C2-H) changed in the opposite sense. The different polarization of the acceptor sigma* orbitals, caused by the 2-aryl substituent, accounted for the observed propagation of the substituent effect. These results promote a detailed explanation of the useful tautomeric behavior of the 2-aryl-1,3-X,N-heterocycles, and reveal the nature of the connection between the anomeric effect and the Hammett-type linear free energy relationship.

Investigating heterobutadienes, it has been observed that compounds containing a lambda(3)-P=C bond show similar delocalization energy as those with C=C units. As for lambda(5)-phosphabutadienes, however, stabilization is achieved only in the case of C substitution. This behavior has been rationalized by perturbation theory arguments with the conclusion that while for the lambda(3)-P=C and C=C bonds a two-way interaction, for the lambda(5)-P=C system a one-way interaction is operational, Comparing cyclic systems containing lambda(3)- and lambda(5)-P=C bonds, similar structures (bond lengths) and stabilizations (as concluded from bond separation and homodesmic reaction energies) were obtained for six-membered rings including benzene and other rings containing one and three (symmetrically arranged) phosphorus atoms. The four-membered rings (1 lambda(3),3 lambda(3)- and 1 lambda(5),3 lambda(5)-diphosphacyclobutadienes), however, show completely different behavior, since the lambda(5)-P derivative does not show destabilization upon ring formation and has equal bond lengths, while lambda(3)-P rings are clearly antiaromatic. Rationalization has been given in terms of the differences in the one-way and two-way conjugative interactions. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
