Stereochemistry, conformation and

Another excellent discussion of stereochemistry, conformation and strain is E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds, Wiley, New York, 1994.

Entry 5 is an example of the use of fra-(trimethylsilyl)silane as the chain carrier. Entries 6 to 11 show additions of radicals from organomercury reagents to substituted alkenes. In general, the stereochemistry of these reactions is determined by reactant conformation and steric approach control. In Entry 9, for example, addition is from the exo face of the norbornyl ring. Entry 12 is an example of addition of an acyl radical from a selenide. These reactions are subject to competition from decarbonylation, but the relatively slow decarbonylation of aroyl radicals (see Part A, Table 11.3) favors addition in this case. 

P212121 Z = 4 Dx = 1.21 R = 0.05 for 1,605 intensities. The carbon chain has a sickle conformation, with C-1-C-2-C-3-C-4, C-2-C-3-C-4-C-5 torsion angles of —60°, -50°, respectively. The dioxolanes have a twist and an envelope conformation, and are related by an approximate, two-fold axis along C-3-C-4. The double-bond stereochemistry is Z. 

The formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-enes is a common reaction of cyclic and acyclic cZt-l,3,5-trienes. While it has been frequently depicted as a [n4 + tt2]-cycloaddition and it often exhibits the stereochemistry expected of a concerted [zr4s + rr2a] process109, it is well known that it just as often does not. The stereochemistry, conformational requirements and scope of the reaction have been thoroughly studied by a number of workers, and have been extensively reviewed116,128,170 172. 

The stereochemistry of the product alkene is determined by the direction of the addition of the Grignard reagent in the first step. All the subsequent reactions require a particular conformation and are STEREOSPECIFIC. Orientation A is only one of the infinite number of conformers possible and is the...

These complexes are known with planar and non-planar M3X3 cores, and with tetrahedral or square-planar metal coordination. The X3M3 cycle in chair conformation and with tetrahedral metal coordination occurs in (p-SMe)3B3X6 (X = Cl, Br)38 and is proposed in the form of (p-Scys)3Cd3(Scys)6 for one of the two clusters with cysteinate coordination in metallothionein proteins.39 The twist-boat conformation occurs in S3Sn3Me640 and probably in the related compounds S3M3R6 (M = Ge, Sn, Pb R = Me, Bu, Ph).41 The same structural unit with distorted twist-boat stereochemistry occurs in the (p-S)3Fe3(Scys)5L cluster recently discovered in several ferredoxins.15 42... 

FIGURE 7.9 Repre-sentations of (2/ ,3/ )-dihy-droxybutanoic acid, (a) The staggered conformation is the most stable, but is not properly arranged to show stereochemistry as a Fischer projection. (b) Rotation about the C-2-C-3 bond gives the eclipsed conformation, and projection of the eclipsed conformation onto the page gives (c) a correct Fischer projection. 

Tnformation about the characteristics of keto-hexoses in solution has been - derived mainly from optical rotatory data (I, 2, 3, 4) and in recent years by application of the principles of conformational analysis (5, 6). In the current study an attempt is made to describe the conformation and composition of these sugars in solution by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a highly sensitive means for examining stereochemistry and for differentiating between isomeric species. 

HASSEL, ODD (1897-1981), A Norwegian chemist who won the Nobel pnze for chemistry in I969 with Derek Barton for their contributions to the development of the concept of conformation and its application in chemistry. A great deal of his work was concerned with Using X-ray and electron differentiation methods ol cry stal and molecular structures. He also researched stereochemistry and conformational analysis. His education and leadline career were in his homeland.
