5 Bürgi-Dunitz Angle of Attack on Carbonyl Group. Evidence from X-Rays Diffraction Analysis In molecular containing an amino group and a ketone (119), X-rays shows the N:---C= bond too long for a bond but too short for no bonding. In 120, the RRC= unit (120 to 121) deviates from coplanarity. In 1,8-disubstituted naphtalene, both substituents are splayed outward. In 122, the C- bond is splayed outward, but the C-N bond leans inward. J.D. Dunitz et al. elv. Chim. Acta 1978, 61,

6 No Evidence in Favor of Stereoelectronic Control in Acetal ydrolysis in Early Studies In 10 anomeric pairs of alkyl glucopyranosides, the b-anomers were hydrolyzed times faster than the a-anomers. R R R R R faster than R R R R R Feather arris Also, ydrolysis of p-nitrophenoxy 127 is p-independent in the p range Spontaneous hydrolysis of 127 is 3.3 times slower than 128. It was first concluded that there was no evidence that acetal cleavage is subject to stereoelectronic control. It was later disclaimed as 128 could hydrolyzed via boat conformer 129. Kirby 6

38 Acetals with Synperiplanar Lone Pairs: Crystal-Structure-Reactivity 1 n x Ar n = 1.32 x = : a marked lengthening of x and shortening of n By comparison with 3: no significant change CNCLUSIN: The anomeric effect due to the synperiplanar n -c* C- overlap in acetal 3 is less efficient than the antiperiplanar one in simple TP acetals 1 in their respective ground state. P. Deslongchamps, P.G. Jones, S. Li, A.J. Kirby, S Kuusela, Y. Ma. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2, 1997,

39 ow About ydrolysis? 1 n x Ar 3 n x Ar In spontaneous hydrolysis, 3 is slightly faster than The ground state of 3 is in a boat, thus containing more energy than 1 which is in a chair form. 3 is thus energetically closer to TS. 2. TS is late resembling the corresponding cyclic oxenium ion in both reactions. 39

54 Increasing polarity of solvent stabilizes the oxocarbenium ion Woerpel and co-workers have discovered that stereoselectivity is greater in C 3 CN than in C 2 Cl 2. Increasing the polarity of the solvent results in stabilization of the cationic intermediate and subsequently reduces the rate of nucleophilic addition. As the rate of nucleophilic addition is decreased from the diffusion limit regime, greater facial selectivity for the stereoelectronically preferred product would be observed.

63 FACTRS INFLUENCING TE GLYCSYLATIN STEPS (1) Conformation of donor ( 4 C 1, 1 C 4, 1 S 3, 0 S 2 ) and the corresponding oxocarbenium ion (halfchair 4 1 or 1 4 ) at the transition states (possibility of conformational change). (2) Inductive effect of exocyclic R groups at C 3, C 4, C 6 and hyperconjugation stabilizing or destabilizing. (3) Electrostatic stabilization of oxocarbenium ion by exocyclic R groups. (4) S N 1-like (or S N 2-like) process and Bürgi & Dunitz angle of attack. (5) Polarity of solvent favoring S N 1 or S N 2 process and early or late transition state. (6) Transient glycosyl donor intermediate (e.g. glycosyl triflate) or contact ion pair (CIP) and solvent-separated ion pair (SSIP). (7) Steric effects and stereoelectronic effects (antiperiplanar versus synperiplanar hypothesis) and reaction trajectory. (8) 13 C and 2 primary kinetic isotope effects (KIE). (9) FM based ab initio calculation. (10) - orbital model. (11) Bent bond model and the antiperiplanar (BBA) hypothesis. 63
