Conformational equilibrium and potential energy surface of 1-fluorobutane by microwave spectroscopy and Ab initio calculations

The rotational spectra of four (GT, TT, TG, and GG) of the five possible conformers of 1-fluorobutane have been assigned by combining free jet and conventional microwave spectroscopy. The geometry optimization was performed at the MP2 (full) level of theory with the 6-31G (d) and 6-311G (d,p) basis sets and by using the B3LYP (3df, 3pd) density functional method. The relative stability of the five rotamers is calculated at the QCISD (T)/6-311G (d,p) level of theory. In spite of the fact that ab initio calculations indicated the unobserved GG' conformer to be more stable than at least one of the observed conformers it was not possible to detect its rotational spectrum. GT and TG are the most and the least stable species, respectively. The rotational spectra of several vibrational satellites of the four conformers have been studied by conventional microwave spectroscopy. The overall conformational equilibrium is governed by the two-dimensional potential energy surface of the skeletal torsions MeC-CC and FC-CC, which have been evaluated by a flexible model analysis, based on the experimental values of the relative conformational and vibrational energy spacings, and on the shifts of second moments of inertia upon conformational change and vibrational excitation. The relative energy of the fifth stable conformer (GG') was determined to be 333 cm-1 from flexible model calculations, and to be 271 cm-1 from the most accurate ab initio calculations.

METHOD OF FLUORINATION

A method of fluorination comprising reacting monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, composite saccharides formed by bonding of these saccharides with proteins and lipids and saccharides having polyalcohols, aldehydes, ketones and acids of the polyalcohols, and derivatives and condensates of these compounds with a fluorinating agent represented by general formula (I) thermally or under irradiation with microwave or an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength around the microwave region. In accordance with the method, the fluorination at a selected position can be conducted safely at a temperature in the range of 150 to 200°C where the reaction is difficult in accordance with conventional methods. The above method comprising the irradiation with microwave or an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength around the microwave region can be applied to substrates other than saccharides. When a complex compound comprising HF and a base is reacted under irradiation with microwave, fluorination at a specific position which is difficult in accordance with conventional methods proceeds highly selectively, efficiently in a short time and safely.

Ionic liquids as media for nucleophilic flurination

The use of Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) for a variety of halogen exchange (Halex) fluorination processes using alkali metal fluorides is assessed. Whilst fluorination of a range of halogenated substrates is possible in good yield, the utility of RTILs as reusable, inert media for such reactions is limited by the gradual decomposition of the RTIL in the presence of highly basic fluoride ion.
