In order to provide experimental evidence on the stereoelectronic requirements for intramolecular hydrogen atom abstraction by carbonyl oxygen, N-(tert-butyl)succinimide, 1, was investigated by the crystal structure – reactivity correlation method. In this method, the success or failure of a given reaction in the crystalline state is correlated with the geometric parameters associated with the process as determined by X-ray crystallography. In the case of N-(tert-butyl)succinimide, the crystal and molecular structure shows that the molecule adopts a conformation in which there are very close contacts (d = 2.17–2.24 Å) between the carbonyl oxygen atoms and certain γ-hydrogen atoms on the tert-butyl group. In accord with these close contacts, ultraviolet irradiation of N-(tert-butyl)succinimide in the crystalline state leads to transfer of one of the γ-hydrogen atoms from carbon to oxygen. This produces a 1,4-biradical which closes to form a cyclobutanol, and the cyclobutanol undergoes ring opening to afford the final stable product, tetrahydro-1H-azepine-2,5-dione, 2. The crystal and molecular structure of photoproduct 2 is also reported. In contrast to many solid state transformations, there was no discernable melting of the crystals during reaction, and complete conversions of 1 into 2 could be achieved. The isolated chemical yield of photoproduct 2 from the solid state reaction (79%) is in fact considerably higher than that reported by Kanaoka and Hatanaka for the corresponding solution phase process (49%). This permitted the solid state reaction to be followed to 100% conversion by X-ray powder diffractometry, which showed that the process is a single crystal-to-polycrystalline transformation involving a regular and progressive conversion of 1 into 2 with no obvious diffraction peaks that might be attributable to the intermediate cyclobutanol.

N,N′-Dialkyl sulfur diimides (1), R(NSN)R [R = Me (a), Et (b), nPr (c), nBu (d)] react with cyclic bis(amino)stannylenes such as 1,3-di-tert-butyl-4,4-dimethyl-1,3,4,2λ2-diazasilastannetedine (2) or 1,3-di-tert-butyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,4,5,2λ2-diazadisilastannolidine (3) in a 2:1 ratio to give the new spiro-tin(IV) compounds 5a-d, 6b and 6c, built from the respective cyclic bis(amino)stannylene and a seven-membered ring in which the two sulfur diimide groups are coupled via a N-N bond and across the tin atom. A 1:1 adduct 4 is proposed as an intermediate which is the final product 4e in the case of R = tBu (1e). The products were characterized by multinuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C, 15N, 29Si, 119Sn NMR), and in the case of 5c the molecular structure was determined by single crystal X-ray structure analysis [monoclinic, space group C2/c ; a = 1504.1(3), b = 1393.3(3), c = 1688.6(3) pm; β = 115.71(3)°].

The molecular structure of N,N,N',N',2,2-hexamethylpropanediamide has been determined in the solid state by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of Me2NCOCMe2CONMe2 may be broadly described as two planar Me2NCO entities intersecting at the tetrahedral -CMe2- site. The angle between the normals to the two Me2NCO planes is 104.6�, and the two oxygen atoms are disposed outwards from the molecule and away from each other. Proton (270-MHz) n.m.r. studies yield k(320 K) 32.0 � 3.2 s-1, ΔH‡ 69.5 � 0.4 kJ mol-1 and ΔS‡ 0.6 � 1.1 J K-1 mol-1 for rotation of the N-methyl groups about the carbon-nitrogen bonds in CD3NO2 solution. Similar magnitudes for the kinetic parameters characterizing this process are obtained in CDCl3, and CD3CN solutions.

AbstractWhile the diphosphadiboretane (tBuP=Btmp)2, 1, reacts with boron trihalides BX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) with BN cleavage producing a number of unidentifiable products, a new tricyclic BP ring system 2, containing B3P3, PB2C2 and C6 rings, results from the combination of PhBCl2 and 1. B-Chlorocatecholborane and 1 give access to the diborylphosphane 3, tmpBCl-PtBu-cat (cat = C6H4O2B). This shows that the selectivity of the reactions increases as the Lewis acidity of boron halide decreases. The structure of compounds 2 and 3 were determined by X-ray structure analysis. The bicyclic (tmpBP)2 4 forms no adducts with MeI, CF3SO2Me or Ph3C(SnCl5). However, it adds B(C6F5)3 to give 10, the first BX3 adduct of this bicycle that is fully characterized including its molecular structure.
