Abstract:The spectroscopic and structural properties of the perchlorate and triflate salts of N-n-butyl-retinylidene imine, 2 and 3, have been examined in solution and solid phases. In solution these salts were found to exhibit very similar UV and NMR spectroscopic properties. However, in the solid state marked differences in their absorption spectra (2, A, , = 504 nm; 3, A, , , = 445 nm) and I3c NMR spectra were found. The structures of the two salts were determined by X-ray crystallography. The cations in each of the salts were shown to have very similar conformations, detailed structures, and packing in their crystal lattices. The differences in the spectroscopic properties of the salts in the solid state could not be accounted for on the basis of any structural differences in the cations themselves. In terms of cation-anion interactions, a strong hydrogen bonding interaction was found in each case between the N-H proton and an oxygen atom of the counterion. However, there were significant differences between the two salts in terms of the N-H..O internuclear distances (2, N-H...O = 2.939(7) A and in 3,2.85(1) A). The results are strongly suggestive that the wavelength and positive charge delocalization in retinylidene iminium salts are controlled by variation of the distance between the anion and the proton bonded to the Schiff base nitrogen atom. The work reported here represents the first examples of secondary retinylidene iminium salts containing an N-alkyl substituent to be successfully analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The relationship of these observations in the solid state to the spectroscopic properties of the natural visual pigments is explored.Key words: retinylidene iminium salts, iminium salts, cation-anion interactions.

. Protonated 2,4-hexadienal (IH) and 2,4,6-octatrienal (2H), prepared by protonation of the analogous aldehydes in FS03H, isomerized to give cyclized products 3H and 4H at 30°C and -20°C respectively. The rate constants for the cyclization of 1H were measured in both FS03H and CF3S03H. It was found that the rate constant for isomerization decreased when CF3S03H was used as the reaction medium. It is suggested that the thermal cyclizations of 1H and 2H involve diprotonated species with protonation occurring on oxygen. 1H and 2H underwent photoisomerization at -78°C in FS03H to yield 5H and 7H respectively. It was found that 5H underwent a cyclization reaction at -40°C to give 6H, which subsequently rearranged to give 3H at -10°C. However, 7H was found to isomerize to 2H at -50°C. The mechanisms of the thermal isomerization are discussed. GEORGE R. ELIA, RONALD F. CHILDS et GARY S. SHAW. Can J . Chem 70, 2065Chem 70, (1992.

The characteristic reaction of this important class of carbenium ions is ring closure of a pentadienyl fragment to form a substituted cyclopentenyl cation. This cyclization reaction has been shown to proceed via a stereoselective 4-n electron electrocyclic ring closure (4, 5). These reactions are generally facile, occurring, for example, at very low temperatures when the ions are generated as long-lived species in strong acid media.There have been fewer studies reported on the chemistry on the hydroxy-or alkoxy-substituted polyenyl carbenium ions, despite the ease by which these ions can be prepared by the protonation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds and their derivatives (6). One important example is the cyclization of protonated cross-conjugated dienones to form protonated cyclopentenones, a reaction that forms the key step in what has become known as the Nazarov reaction (7). This cationic cyclization reaction parallels the cyclization reactions observed ...
