Conformational Analysis of 2-Substituted 1-Nitro- and 1-Bromo-1-nitroethenes

Conformational analysis of 2-trichloromethyl(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-nitro-and 2-trichloromethyl-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-bromo-1-nitroethenes was performed using the dipole moment method, IR spectroscopy, and DFT quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*). The nitro and ester (or trichloromethyl) groups in the molecules of these compounds were found to occupy trans positions with respect to the double C=C bond, i.e., the nitroalkenes have E, and their bromine-containing analogs, Z configuration; the compounds having an ethoxycarbonyl group are characterized by s-cis orientation of the C=C and C=O bonds.

Molecular and solution structure of 5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinin-4-one derivatives

Abstract2-X-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinin-4-ones (X = N = C = O, Cl, NEt2), regardless of their aggregative state, prefer one and the same conformation (flattenedsofa); the exocyclic substituent occupies either an axial (N = C = O, NEt2) or an equatorial (Cl) position.

Synthesis and Structure of 1-Bromo-1-nitro-2-piperidino(cyclohexylamino)-2-phenylethenes

A preparation method was developed for new representatives of halonitroenamines, 1-bromo-1-nitro-2-piperidino(cyclohexylamino)-2-phenylethenes. Both molecules possess E configuration and are of high polarity.

Fourier transform IR spectra and structure of 2-substituted 1-nitro- and 1-bromo-1-nitroethenes

Molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 2-trichloromethyl(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-nitroethenes and 2-trichloromethyl(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-bromo-1-nitroethenes were calculated in terms of the density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G*). The experimental FTIR spectra of these compounds in the range from 4000 to 400 cm−1 were interpreted in detail on the basis of the calculation data. 2-Substituted 1-nitro- and 1-bromo-1-nitroethenes were assigned the structure with trans orientation of the nitro and trichloromethyl (or ethoxycarbonyl) groups, and the ethoxycarbonyl derivatives were assumed to exist in equilibrium between s-cis and s-trans conformers.

Conformational analysis of 1,4-heterophosphinanes

Conformational analysis of 1,4-heterophosphinanes in solution, based on a combination of the dipole moment and Kerr effect methods, molecular mechanics, and quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) was performed. It was established that, regardless the second heteroatom in the six-membered phosphorus-containing heterocycle (oxygen, sulfur, or silicon) and phosphorus coordination, these compounds prefer a chair conformation with an equatorial exocyclic phenyl substituent.

Quantum-Chemical Study of the Structure of Cyanophosphines and Their Oxides

The structure of cyanophosphines and their oxides was studied by ab initio (RHF/6-31G**) and semiempirical (PM3) methods. Both methods predict that MeOP(CN)2, (MeO)2PCN, and (MeO)2P(O)CN exist in noneclipsed antiperiplanar and synclinal conformations. The calculation results nicely agree with measured dipole moments and Kerr constants of these compounds. The phenyl and diphenyl derivatives PhP(CN)2, Ph2PCN, Ph(Et)PCN, and Ph2P(O)CN prefer forms in which the phenyl ring plane is eclipsing the phosphorus lone electron pair or the phosphoryl bond. The interactions of the phosphorus lone electron pair with the phenyl ring and with the cyano group are lacking in the title compounds.

Conformational analysis of 1-sila-4-phospha-2,5-cyclohexadienes

Conformational analysis of 1-sila-4-phospha-2,5-cyclohexadienes was performed using the methods of dipole moments and quantum-chemicall calculations (DFT B3LYP/6-31G*). Irrespective of the degree of coordination of the phosphorus atom (3 or 4) the unsaturated six-membered heterocycles adopt the conformation of a flattened boat with the exocyclic phenyl group oriented perpendicular to the double bonds of the heterocycle. This conformation rules out the possibility of intramolecular transannular interaction between the phosphorus and silicon atoms.

Conformational analysis of mono- and bis(dimethoxyphosphoryl)benzenes

Conformational analysis of mono-and bis(dimethoxyphosphoryl)benzenes with substituents in the benzene ring was performed by the method of dipole moments, IR spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations (DFT B3LYP/6-31G*). Comparison of all calculated and experimental data shows that the compounds studied exist as equilibrium mixtures of conformers with preferred gg orientation of the phosphoryl and methoxy groups.
