Abstract

Diastereoisomeric proton-bound complexes of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin (1) with butan-2-amine (2) are studied by means of the DFT calculations and mass spectrometry. The calculations reveal that 2 is bound via proton to only one nitrogen atom of the bicyclic base 1. The homochiral complex is favored by about 4 kJ/mol over the heterochiral complex. For a more loosely bound ion-pair complex [(1H)I(2H)]+ of the protonated bases 1 and 2 with an iodine counterion the energy difference drops to about 2 kJ/mol. Chiral effects in the formation of [(1)H(2)]+ are studied by the collision-induced dissociation of [(1H)I(2H)]+ generated by the electrospray ionization of the solution of [1·Cu(OH)I] and 2 in acetonitrile. The dominant fragmentation of [(1H)I(2H)]+ leads to 1·H+ and 2·HI, which is at small collision energies accompanied by the elimination of HI leading to the desired [(1)H(2)]+ ion. The chiral effect of 1.2 is determined in favor for the formation of the homochiral complex [(1)H(2)]+.
