Relative Basicities of Some endo and exo Norbornylamines.-A series of 2 exo-substituted norbornanes with tertiary amine substituents (I) and the corresponding endo isomers are synthesized in a manner previously reported, and their relative basicities are determined in acetonitrile and DMF. The exo isomer is always more basic than the corresponding endo isomer in either solvent. All of the bicyclic amines studied have higher pKa's in MeCN than in DMF except for the morpholino derivative. The results of semiempirical calculations of proton affinities and dipole moments correspond well with the experimental observations. -(COOK, A. G.; WESNER, L. R.; FOLK, S. L.; J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
