Hyperconjugation in Carbocations, a BLW Study with DFT approximation.

ABSTRACT: The geometry of ethyl cation is discussed, and the hyperconjugation effect in carbocations is evaluated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level. The Block Localized Wavefunction (BLW) method is used for all evaluations of the hyperconjugation, considered as the energy gained by the delocalization onto the C(+) atom. This energy is defined as the energy difference between the delocalized (standard) calculation, where the electrons are freely delocalized, and a localized form where the positive charge sits on the carbon center. It is evaluated for 18 carbocations, including conjugated systems. In these cases we were particularly interested in the additional stabilization brought by hyperconjugative effects. Among other effects, the ?-silicon effect is computed. Hyperconjugation amounts in several cases to an energy similar to conjugation effects.

Spontaneous Transition of Alkyl Carbocations to Unsaturated Vinyl-Type Carbocations in Organic Solutions.

Project description:It was found that alkyl carbocations, when their salts are dissolved in common organochlorine solvents, decompose to unsaturated vinyl-type carbocations that are stabler in solutions. This is a convenient method for obtaining salts of vinyl cations and their solutions for further research.

Hyperconjugation-mediated solvent effects in phosphoanhydride bonds.

Project description:Density functional theory and natural bond orbital analysis are used to explore the impact of solvent on hyperconjugation in methyl triphosphate, a model for "energy rich" phosphoanhydride bonds, such as found in ATP. As expected, dihedral rotation of a hydroxyl group vicinal to the phosphoanhydride bond reveals that the conformational dependence of the anomeric effect involves modulation of the orbital overlap between the donor and acceptor orbitals. However, a conformational independence was observed in the rotation of a solvent hydrogen bond. As one lone pair orbital rotates away from an optimal antiperiplanar orientation, the overall magnitude of the anomeric effect is compensated approximately by the other lone pair as it becomes more antiperiplanar. Furthermore, solvent modulation of the anomeric effect is not restricted to the antiperiplanar lone pair; hydrogen bonds involving gauche lone pairs also affect the anomeric interaction and the strength of the phosphoanhydride bond. Both gauche and anti solvent hydrogen bonds lengthen nonbridging O-P bonds, increasing the distance between donor and acceptor orbitals and decreasing orbital overlap, which leads to a reduction of the anomeric effect. Solvent effects are additive with greater reduction in the anomeric effect upon increasing water coordination. By controlling the coordination environment of substrates in an active site, kinases, phosphatases, and other enzymes important in metabolism and signaling may have the potential to modulate the stability of individual phosphoanhydride bonds through stereoelectronic effects.

Electrophilic chemistry of thia-PAHs: stable carbocations (NMR and DFT), S-alkylated onium salts, model electrophilic substitutions (nitration and bromination), and mutagenicity assay.

Project description:First examples of stable carbocations are reported from several classes of thia-PAHs with four fused rings, namely, benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]thiophene (1) and its 3-methoxy derivative (2), phenanthro[4,3-b]thiophene (3) and its 7-methoxy (4), 10-methoxy (5), and 9-methoxy (6) derivatives, phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene (7) and its 7-methoxy (8) and 9-methoxy (9) derivatives, and 3-methoxybenzo[b]naphtha[1,2-d]thiophene (11). In several cases, the resulting carbocations were also studied by GIAO-DFT. Charge delocalization modes in the resulting carbocations were probed. A series of S-alkylated onium tetrafluoroborates, namely, 1Me+, 1Et+, 2Et+, and 7Me+ (from 1, 2, and 7), 10Me+ and 10Et+ (from benzo[b]naphtha[1,2-d]thiophene 10), 12Me+ and 12Et+ (from phenanthro[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene 12), 13Me+ (from 3-methoxyphenanthro[3,2-b]benzothiophene 13), 14Me+ (from phenanthro[4,3-b][1]benzothiophene 14), and 15Me+ (from 3-methoxyphenanthro[4,3-b][1]benzothiophene 15), were synthesized. PAH-sulfonium salts 1Me+, 1Et+, 10Me+, 10Et+, 12Me+, and 14Me+ proved to be efficient akylating agents toward model nitrogen nucleophile receptors (imidazole and azaindole). Facile transalkylation to model nucleophiles (including guanine) is also supported by favorable reaction energies computed by DFT. Ring opening energies in thia-PAH-epoxides from 1, 3, and 7 and charge delocalization modes in the resulting carbocations were also evaluated. The four-ring-fused thia-PAHs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11 are effectively nitrated under extremely mild conditions. Nitration regioselectivity corresponds closely to protonation under stable ion conditions. Bromination of 4 and 6 is also reported. Comparative mutagenicity assays (Ames test) were performed on 1 versus 1NO2, 5 versus 5NO2, and 11 versus 11NO2. Compound 5NO2 was found to be a potent direct acting mutagen.

Ground-state electronic destabilization via hyperconjugation in aspartate aminotransferase.

Project description:Binding isotope effects for l-aspartate reacting with the inactive K258A mutant of PLP-dependent aspartate aminotransferase to give a stable external aldimine intermediate are reported. They provide direct evidence for electronic ground-state destabilization via hyperconjugation. The smaller equilibrium isotope effect with deazaPLP-reconstituted K258A indicates that the pyridine nitrogen plays an important role in labilizing the Cα-H bond.

Conjugative Stabilization versus Anchimeric Assistance in Carbocations.

Project description:In this study, an old concept of anchimeric assistance is viewed from a different angle. Primary cations with two different heteroatomic substituents in the α-position to the cationic carbon atom CHXY-CH2+ (X, Y = Me2N, MeO, Me3Si, Me2P, MeS, MeS, Br) can be stabilized by the migration of either the X or Y group to the cation center. In each case, the migration can be either complete, resulting in the transfer of the migrating group to the adjacent carbon atom and the formation of a secondary carbocation stabilized by the remaining heteroatom, or incomplete, leading to an anchimerically assisted iranium ion. For all combinations of the above groups, these transformations have been studied by theoretical analysis at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level and were shown to occur depending on the ability of anchimeric assistance by X and Y, as well as the conformation of the starting primary carbocation. In the conformers of α-amino cations with the p-orbital, C-N bond and the nitrogen lone pair in one plane, the Me2N group migrates to the cationic center to give aziranium ions. Otherwise, the second heteroatom is shifted to give iminium ions, without or with very slight anchimeric assistance. In the α-methoxy cations, the MeO group can be shifted to the cationic center to give the O-anchimerically assisted ions as local minima, the global minima being the ions anchimerically assisted by another heteroatom. The electropositive silicon tends to migrate towards the cationic center, but with the formation of a π-complex of the Me3Si cation with the C=C bond rather than a Si-anchimerically assisted cation. The phosphorus atom can either fully migrate to the cationic center (X = P, Y = S, Se) or form anchimerically stabilized phosphiranium ions (X = P, Y = O, Si, Br). The order of the anchimeric assistance for the heaviest atoms decreases in the order Se >> S > Br.

The cyclopropylcarbinyl route to γ-silyl carbocations.

Project description:The mesylate derivative of cis-1-hydroxymethyl-2-trimethylsilylcyclopropane has been prepared, along with a number of related mesylates and triflates with substituents on the 1-position. These substrates all solvolyze in CD3CO2D to give products derived from cyclopropylcarbinyl cations that undergo further rearrangement to give 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations. These 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations are stabilized by a long-range rear lobe interaction with the γ-trimethylsilyl group. When the substituent is electron-withdrawing (CF3, CN, or CO2CH3), significant amounts of bicyclobutane products are formed. The bicyclobutanes are a result of γ-trimethylsilyl elimination from the cationic intermediate that has an unusually long calculated Si-C bond. The solvolysis chemistry of mesylate and triflate derivatives of trans-1-hydroxymethyl-2-trimethylsilylcyclopropane and 1-substituted analogs can be quite different since these substrates do not generally lead to 3-trimethylsilylcyclobutyl cations.

Hindered dialkyl ether synthesis with electrogenerated carbocations.

Project description:Hindered ethers are of high value for various applications; however, they remain an underexplored area of chemical space because they are difficult to synthesize via conventional reactions1,2. Such motifs are highly coveted in medicinal chemistry, because extensive substitution about the ether bond prevents unwanted metabolic processes that can lead to rapid degradation in vivo. Here we report a simple route towards the synthesis of hindered ethers, in which electrochemical oxidation is used to liberate high-energy carbocations from simple carboxylic acids. These reactive carbocation intermediates, which are generated with low electrochemical potentials, capture an alcohol donor under non-acidic conditions; this enables the formation of a range of ethers (more than 80 have been prepared here) that would otherwise be difficult to access. The carbocations can also be intercepted by simple nucleophiles, leading to the formation of hindered alcohols and even alkyl fluorides. This method was evaluated for its ability to circumvent the synthetic bottlenecks encountered in the preparation of 12 chemical scaffolds, leading to higher yields of the required products, in addition to substantial reductions in the number of steps and the amount of labour required to prepare them. The use of molecular probes and the results of kinetic studies support the proposed mechanism and the role of additives under the conditions examined. The reaction manifold that we report here demonstrates the power of electrochemistry to access highly reactive intermediates under mild conditions and, in turn, the substantial improvements in efficiency that can be achieved with these otherwise-inaccessible intermediates.

Glutamine and Asparagine Side Chain Hyperconjugation-Induced Structurally Sensitive Vibrations.

Project description:We identified vibrational spectral marker bands that sensitively report on the side chain structures of glutamine (Gln) and asparagine (Asn). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the Amide III(P) (AmIII(P)) vibrations of Gln and Asn depend cosinusoidally on their side chain OCCC dihedral angles (the χ3 and χ2 angles of Gln and Asn, respectively). We use UV resonance Raman (UVRR) and visible Raman spectroscopy to experimentally correlate the AmIII(P) Raman band frequency to the primary amide OCCC dihedral angle. The AmIII(P) structural sensitivity derives from the Gln (Asn) Cβ-Cγ (Cα-Cβ) stretching component of the vibration. The Cβ-Cγ (Cα-Cβ) bond length inversely correlates with the AmIII(P) band frequency. As the Cβ-Cγ (Cα-Cβ) bond length decreases, its stretching force constant increases, which results in an upshift in the AmIII(P) frequency. The Cβ-Cγ (Cα-Cβ) bond length dependence on the χ3 (χ2) dihedral angle results from hyperconjugation between the Cδ═Oϵ (Cγ═Oδ) π* and Cβ-Cγ (Cα-Cβ) σ orbitals. Using a Protein Data Bank library, we show that the χ3 and χ2 dihedral angles of Gln and Asn depend on the peptide backbone Ramachandran angles. We demonstrate that the inhomogeneously broadened AmIII(P) band line shapes can be used to calculate the χ3 and χ2 angle distributions of peptides. The spectral correlations determined in this study enable important new insights into protein structure in solution, and in Gln- and Asn-rich amyloid-like fibrils and prions.

Synthesis and Reactivity of α-Haloglycine Esters: Hyperconjugation in Action.

Project description:A general and efficient synthesis of α-haloglycine esters from commercially available feedstock chemicals, in a single step, is reported. The reactivity of these α-haloglycine esters with various nucleophiles was studied as surrogates of α-iminoesters upon activation with hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. DFT calculations on the α-haloglycine structures (X = F, Cl, Br) accompanied by an X-ray characterization of the α-bromoglycine ester support the existence of a "generalized" anomeric effect created by hyperconjugation. This peculiar hyperconjugative effect is proposed to be responsible for the enhanced halogen nucleofugality leading to a facile halogen abstraction by hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. This reactivity was exploited with thiourea catalysts on several catalytic transformations (aza-Friedel-Crafts and Mannich reactions) for the synthesis of several types of non-proteinogenic α-amino esters.

Taming nonclassical carbocations to control small ring reactivity.

Project description:Prediction of the outcome of ring opening of small organic rings under cationic conditions can be challenging due to the intermediacy of nonclassical carbocations. For example, the solvolysis of cyclobutyl or cyclopropylmethyl derivatives generates up to four products on nucleophilic capture or elimination via cyclopropylcarbinyl and bicyclobutonium ions. Here, we show that such reaction outcomes can be controlled by subtle changes to the structure of nonclassical carbocation. Using bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes as cation precursors, the regio- and stereochemistry of ring opening is shown to depend on the degree and nature of the substituents on the cationic intermediates. Reaction outcomes are rationalized using computational models, resulting in a flowchart to predict product formation from a given cation precursor.
