ON THE ORIGIN OF PI-FACIAL DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY IN NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITIONS TO CHIRAL CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS .3. ROTATIONAL PROFILES OF 2-METHOXYPROPANAL AND 2-N,N-DIMETHYLAMINOPROPANAL
G. Frenking et al., ON THE ORIGIN OF PI-FACIAL DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY IN NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITIONS TO CHIRAL CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS .3. ROTATIONAL PROFILES OF 2-METHOXYPROPANAL AND 2-N,N-DIMETHYLAMINOPROPANAL, Tetrahedron, 49(19), 1993, pp. 3971-3982
The rotational profiles of 2-methoxypropanal and 2-N,N-dimethylaminopr
opanal are theoretically predicted using ab initio methods at the MP2/
6-31G//3-21G level of theory. The conformational energies show a stro
ng dependence on the torsion angle not only around the C-C bond but al
so around the C-R (R=OMe, NMe2) bond.
