ATROPOENANTIOMERISM OF THE Z-ADDUCT OF ETHOXYCARBONYL-6,6-DIMETHYL-5,6-DIHYDRO-4-PYRIDONE WITH DIMETHYL ACETYLENEDICARBOXYLATE - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE IN SOLUTION AND IN THE CRYSTAL
Rg. Kostyanovsky et al., ATROPOENANTIOMERISM OF THE Z-ADDUCT OF ETHOXYCARBONYL-6,6-DIMETHYL-5,6-DIHYDRO-4-PYRIDONE WITH DIMETHYL ACETYLENEDICARBOXYLATE - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE IN SOLUTION AND IN THE CRYSTAL, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(7), 1996, pp. 1707-1710
The title adduct (1) was synthesized, and its conformationally and con
figurationally rigid chiral structure in solution and in the crystal w
as established by NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray structural analysis. A
tropoenantiomers of 1 were observed by the H-1 NMR method in the prese
nce of a chiral shift reagent. A barrier to their interconversion was
determined, Delta G(not equal) > 25 kcal mol(-1) (200 degrees C).
