Abstract
Conformational mobility is a core property of organic compounds, and conformational analysis has become a pervasive tool for synthetic design. In this work, we present experimental and computational (employing Density Functional Theory) evidence for unusual intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in a series of α-acylmethane derivatives, as well as a discussion of the consequences thereof for their NMR spectroscopic properties.
Highlights
Conformational flexibility is an intrinsic trait of most organic compounds.[1]
In order to eliminate any possible effect of the sulfur residue on the aromatic ring, we compared the known compound 1-Dec (R = Decyl) with its desulfurated analogue 2-Dec
We resorted to high-level density functional theory (DFT) calculations since it is well-known that general purpose, theoretical 1H-NMR spectra could be reliably covered by this level of theory.[13]
Summary
Conformational flexibility is an intrinsic trait of most organic compounds.[1]. The remarkable ability of molecules to adopt multiple possible conformations is usually accompanied by a defined preference for certain of those conformations, a property that resides at the core of molecular interactions and molecular recognition.[2]. We present experimental and computational evidence for an unusual intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction in a series of N-acyloxazolidinones and other α-acylmethane derivatives, with striking consequences to their NMR spectroscopic properties.
