Synthesis and Thermal Reorganisations of Iminoaziridines. Ab Initioo Calculations of Their Transition States, of Diazatrimethylenemethanes, and Some Cyclic Members of the C2H4N2 Potential-Energy Hypersurface

2-Iminoaziridine 19 and the pairs of isomers 22/23 and 32/33 can be obtained in high yields by base-induced 1,3-dehydrohalogenation of the corresponding α-halo amidines.Regioselectivity of the ring closure reaction of 21 is achieved by treatment with potassium hydride as base in the presence of 18-crown-6 to afford almost exclusively 23.At low temperatures, the cyclisation of 21a under the influence of potassium tert-butoxide occurs diastereoselectively yielding (Z)-22 and (Z)-23 (87:13).Resolution of racemic 21a can be attained by single recrystallisation of the nicely crystallised mandelates of the like configuration, thus providing an efficient route to (R)- and (S)-23 of high enantiomeric purity.Chiroptical data are reported for 21a and 23. - (E)- and (Z)-22 equilibrate faster by more than one order of magnitude than (E)- and (Z)-23 but almost the same preference for the E diastereomer is found in both cases. - Only first-order decomposition into isocyanides 6 and imines is observed on thermolysis of 19, 22, 23, and 32 with activation parameters depending on the substitution pattern.In contrast, the thermal valence isomerisation 35 -> 36 is fast enough to complete with the cycloreversion of 35.Thermal racemisation of (R)-23 does not occur.Quantum-chemical calculations were performed on the parent iminoaziridines (E)- and (Z)-38, 3-amino-2H-azirine (39), the methylenediaziridines cis- and trans-40, and diastereomeric closed-shell and open-shell planar (41) and (open-shell) "mono-orthogonal" diazatrimethylenemethanes 42, 43.Complete geometry optimisations were appropriately performed with the RHF/6-31+G** and the UHF/6-31+G** basis sets.Energies of the closed-shell states were calculated on the RHF, MP2, MP4SDTQ, and CCSD(T) levels, those of open-shell states on the UHF, UMP2, UMP4SDTQ, and CCSD(T)/UHF levels. - (E)-38, being lowest in energy of the parent iminoaziridines (Erel = 0.0), equilibrates with (Z)-38 via an almost linear transition state (Erel = 113.4 kJ mol-1) and decomposes into hydrogen isocyanide and formaldimine in a one-step cheletropic process rel = 179.8 kJ mol-1, CCSD(T)/RHF> with a highly unsymmetrical transition state in which the N1-C2 bond is almost completely broken whereas the C2-C3 bond is still strong.The same is true for the cheletropic decomposition of (Z)-38 the transition state of which (Erel = 168.2 kJ mol-1) is even lower by 11.6 kJ mol-1. - Energy-rich zwitterionic transition states are found with the RHF method among which 1A'-(E,Z)-41 is lowest in energy rel = 203.0 ... - Keywords: Aziridines, 2-imino-, chiral, non-racemic; Amidines, N,N'-dialkyl-2-halo-; 1,3-Dehydrohalogenation, regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of; E/Z Diastereomerisation; Cycloreversion of isocyanides and imines; Valence isomerisation; Calculations, high-level ab initio, RHF, UHF, MPn, CCSD(T); 2H-Azirine, 3-amino; Diaziridine, 3-methylene; Diazatrimethylenemethanes, diastereomeric, closed-shell and open-shell; Reorganisations, transition states of thermal

Synthesis and Photolysis of 1,4,4-Trialkyl-4,5-dihydro-5-imino-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. - Regio- and Diastereoselective Formation of (Z)-Aziridinimines

The novel 5-iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles 14 are synthesized from the 5-isopropylidenedihydrotetrazole 11 through a ring transformation involving cycloaddition and cycloreversion of alkyl azides 12.Thus, cycloaddition of 11 and 12 produces high yields of the spiro compounds 13.On thermolysis at 120-130 deg C, the latter undergo clean cycloreversion into methyl azide (12a) and the iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles 14, which exists as mixtures of diastereomers, e. g. (E)-/(Z)-14a = 95 : 5, or as a single stereoisomer (E)-14c.When toluene solutions of 14 are irradiated (λ >/= 280 nm) at -60 deg C, the configuration of the products is under kinetic control.Irradiation of 14a affords a quantitative yield of the aziridinimines (E)- and (Z)-15a (11 : 89) besides molecular nitrogen.In order to allow the distinction between the least-motion and the non-least-motion path of product formation, the photolysis of iminodihydro-1,2,3-triazoles is studied which are labelled at N-1 by a deuterated methyl group (14b) or a neopentyl group (14c).Neither photolysis (λ >/= 280 nm) nor heating to 120 to 130 deg C induces any scrambling of the alkyl groups attached to N-1 and the exocyclic nitrogen atom of 14b and c.The major product from (E)-/(Z)-14b (84percent) is formed by the non-least-motion path leading diastereoselectively to (Z)-15b, while the least-motion products (E)- and (Z)-17b (16percent) exhibit a diastereomeric ratio of 3 : 1.Very similar results are obtained on photolysis of (E)-14c, except that the least-motion product (15percent) arises only in a single configuration .In the non-least-motion products (Z)-15b,c, the geometry of the group, fixed by the ring in 14b,c, is completely retained.Therefore, the (Z) diastereoselectivity is interpreted in terms of a one-bond cleavage leading to diazenyl-1,3-diazaallyl diradicals 22 having lifetimes too short for changes of their configuration which is determined by the stucture of the precursor.
