Abstract
The influence of stereochemical factors upon 13C NMR shifts induced by N-protonation of saturated azaheterocyclic tertiary amines was investigated using (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine, (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine, (4aα,8aα, 9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine, and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine as model compounds. The magnitudes of the protonation shifts depend on the following stereochemical factors: (i) whether protonation occurs through an axial or an equatorial nitrogen electron lone-pair, (ii) the relative steric orientation (γ-gauche or γ-anti) of the nitrogen and carbon atoms in γ position, and (iii) the geometry of the entire carbon skeleton. Similar stereochemical dependences were found for the protonation shifts on N-methyl-trans-decahydroquinoline, analyzed on the basis of chemical shift data from literature. The observed protonation shifts can be well rationalized in terms of the LEFS (linear electric field shift) theory.
