Iminium Ions

γ− and δ-Oxoesters are easily available starting materials that have been sparingly used in some organocatalyzed reactions proceeding with a high enantioselectivity. In our experimentation we found that the use of these compounds as the enolizable (nucleophilic) component in organocatalyzed Mannich-type reactions using in situ-generated cyclic N-acyl iminium ions gave low diastereoselectivity and low to moderate values of enantioselectivity. This significant drop of facial selectivity with respect to simple aliphatic aldehydes has been rationalized by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Facial Selectivity

The origins of contrasteric diastereoselectivity in the epoxidation of encumbered tetrahydropyridines have been elucidated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A strong energetic preference for OH···N hydrogen bonding was found for epoxidation transition states of the unsubstituted tetrahydropyridine. For hexasubstituted tetrahydropyridines, the diastereofacial selectivity is dictated by both the strong OH···N hydrogen bonding and the conformational preference of the tetrahydropyridine substrate.

Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.

Treatment of the ortho-triazacyclophane 1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-triene [(C6H5)3(NH)(NCH3)2, L1] with Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 yields the dimeric iron(II) complex bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)bis[(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)iron(II)], [Fe(C20H18N3)4] or Fe2(L1)4 (9). Dissolution of 9 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) results in solvation by two THF ligands and the formation of a simpler monoiron complex, namely bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido-κN 7)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)iron(II), [Fe(C20H18N3)2(C4H8O)2] or (L1)2Fe(THF)2 (10). The reaction is reversible and 10 reverts in vacuo to diiron complex 9. In the structures of both 9 and 10, the monoanionic triazacyclophane ligand L1− is observed in only the less-symmetric saddle conformation. No bowl-shaped crown conformers are observed in the solid state, thus preventing chelating κ3-coordination to the metal as had been proposed earlier based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Instead, the L1− ligands are bound in either a η2-chelating fashion through the amide and one amine donor (for one of the four ligands of 9), or solely through their amide N atoms in an even simpler monodentate η1-coordination mode. Density functional calculations on dimer 9 revealed nearly full cationic charges on each Fe atom and no bonding interaction between the two metal centers, consistent with the relatively long Fe...Fe distance of 2.912 (1) Å observed in the solid state.

1H And 13C Nmr

The N-alkylation reaction of N-benzoyl 5-(aminomethyl)tetrazole (5-AMT) with benzyl bromide was carried out in the presence of K2CO3 as a base. Two separable regioisomers were obtained, thus their purification led to determine the proportion of each of them, and their structures were attributed essentially based on 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in addition to the elemental analysis and MS data. In order to confirm the results obtained at the synthesis level, a computational study was carried out by application of density functional theory (DFT) using the Becke three-parameter hybrid exchange functional and the Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP).
