Nitrogen atom sets

Tubocurarine (I) and the various synthetic curarizing agents such as succinylcholine (LXII) have two quaternary nitrogen atoms set some distance apart. The foregoing experiments allow the calabash curare alkaloids to be placed in the same class of compounds. 

Pyridones have not been considered previously because the reaction site can undergo resonance effects involving more than one type of interaction. Localized effects, assuming they are field effects, will not be affected. If the localized effect were an inductive effect, which seems very unlikely, then there would be two paths to the reaction site. Consider the pyridones for which data are available. Three sets are extant. They are the 3-substituted 4-pyridones, 33 the 5-substituted 2-pyridones, 34 and the 3-substituted 2-pyridones, 35. In each of these systems, the substituent is conjugated with the nitrogen atom by one path and in... 

Ozone, which has 18 valehce electrohs, exemplifies bent molecules. Another example is the hitrite ahioh, the subject of Extra Practice Exercise. The bohdihg of NO2 can be represented using s p hybrid orbitals for the inner nitrogen atom and one set of delocalized n orbitals. 

The proton affinities (PA) of two restricted subsets of amines were correlated directly with inductive and polarizability effect parameters, respectively (Figs. 19 and 22). These can be combined with data on other hetero-substituted amines to give a set of 80 amines of different skeletal and substitution types (e.g. Fig. 24). In this and all other systems (below), a residual electronegativity value, %l2, (Eq. 5) derived from those of the atoms of the first, 1, and second, 2, sphere neighbors of the nitrogen atom is preferred as a measure of the inductive effect49). 

Because of the presence of two azide groups in positions adjacent to the ring nitrogen atoms in compound 13a, valence bond isomerization can result in formation of 6-azido-7-methyltetrazolo[l,5-A pyridazine 14a, 6-azido-8-methyltetrazolo[l,5-A pyridazine 15a, and the bis-tetrazole compound 16a. Calculations have been carried out by using hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)) and complete basis set treatments (CBS-4M). All calculations revealed that the 8-methyl derivative 15a is the most stable isomer. Similar studies on the triazide derivative 13b, however, indicated that in this case the equilibrium is shifted to the 7-methyl form 14b. All these conclusions proved to be in entire agreement with the experimental findings (see Section 11.18.3.2.).
