The crystal structures for four α-chloro derivatives 2–5 of the titled ketone 1 have been determined, confirming their earlier assignments of stereochemistry. Variations in the conformations of 2–5 suggested some flexibility in the central seven-membered ring. Molecular mechanics calculations of the changes in energy as a function of the internal torsional angles at the carbonyl of these chloro derivatives indicated the ring flexibility to be comparable to that of cyclohexanone. In the three compounds containing an axial chlorine the distance between the chlorine atom and two of the carbon atoms of the more remote benzene ring was 3.2 ± 0.1 Å, suggesting the value for the thickness of a benzene ring may be significantly smaller than the accepted value when it is interacting with a single atom.

We report the preparation and the analysis of the phenyl ring proton magnetic resonance spectra of 3,5-dichlorophenylcyclohexane and of the 2-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) derivatives of 1,3-dioxane, 1,3-dithiane, and 1,3-dioxolane. With the exception of the dioxolanes these compounds exist predominantly as the equatorial isomers. The J method is used to show that the phenyl moiety prefers the conformation in which the α C—H bond lies in the phenyl plane. The predominantly twofold barriers to rotation about the carbon–carbon bond between the two ring systems are 2.0 ± 0.3, 0.4 ± 0.2, 2.2 ± 0.3, 0.85 ± 0.3 kcal/mol for these compounds, in the order given above. The low value for the barrier in the 1,3-dioxane derivative agrees reasonably well with molecular mechanics calculations and with the results of calorimetric and X-ray studies on equatorial 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane.

The crystal structure of a chiral m-cyclophane, the α-isomer of (S)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetate ester of 13-(methoxycarbonyl)-14-hydroxy-17-methyl-[11]-m-cyclophane (C30H37O5F3, FW = 534.62) has been solved by direct methods and refined by a least-squares procedure to a final R = 0.048 for 2756 independent reflections. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, a = 10.8077(13), b = 13.676(3), c = 19.060(4) Å, V = 2817.2 Å3, Z = 4, and the space group is P212121. The absolute configuration of the chiral plane, using the S-configuration of the α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetate ester as reference, is found to be S, in agreement with the X-ray result. The 14-membered ring has the slightly distorted rectangular conformation that has been described by Dale as the rectangular diamond-lattice conformation [3434]. The distortions, also observed in similar 14-membered rings, have been successfully approximated by molecular mechanics calculations.

Allyldiboran(4) derivatives la—c are obtained from allylmagnesium chloride and chloro derivatives of diboran(4). la—c are air-sensitive liquids; heating of le did not yield a 2,3-dihydro-l,2-diborole derivative (B). Reaction between 1,1-bis(dichloroboryl)-3,3-dimethyl-butane (5) and H2C=C(CH2SnMe3)2 (4) leads to the heat-sensitive chloro derivative 2a, in which the chlorine is substituted by Me3SiNMe2 to give stable 1,3-bis-dimethylamino-5-methylene-2-neopentyl- 1,3-diborinane (2 b). 1,2-Bis(dichloroboryl)benzene and 4 yield the chloro derivative 3a, and its substitution with HN(i-Pr)2 leads to 1,4-bis(diisopropylamino)-2,3-benzo-6-methylene-1,4,5,7-tetrahydro-1,4-diborepine (3 b). The X-ray structure analysis reveals a folded tetrahydro-1,4-diborepine ring.
