Conformational Behavior of Cinchonidine in Different Solvents: A Combined NMR and ab Initio Investigation

Bürgi, Thomas, Baiker, Alfons·1998·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

The conformation of cinchonidine in solution has been investigated by NMR techniques as well as theoretically. Three conformers of cinchonidine are shown to be substantially populated at room temperature, Closed(1), Closed(2), and Open(3), with the latter being the most stable in apolar solvents. The stability of the closed conformers relative to that of Open(3), however, increases with solvent polarity. In polar solvents the three conformers have similar energy. The relationship between relative energies and the dielectric constant of the solvent is not linear but resembles the form of an Onsager function. Ab initio and density functional reaction field calculations using cavity shapes determined by an isodensity surface are in good agreement with experiment for solvents which do not show strong specific interaction with cinchonidine. The role of the conformational behavior of cinchonidine is illustrated using the example of the platinum-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of ketopantolactone in different solvents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
