Abstract:4,5-Disubstituted phenanthrenequinones I1 are helical and therefore, in contrast to the unsubstituted species I, chiral. The twist is mainly caused by the repulsion between the substituents in 4,5 positions. The nonbonding oxygen-oxygen interaction adds a smaller contribution. ['] For the methyl substituted compounds the free activation enthalpy of racemization lies between 94 and 131 kJ mol-', that is, the enantiomers can be separated at room temperature by liquid chromatography (LC)."] The corresponding sem… Show more
Noticeable differences between solid-state ESR spectra of enantiopure and racemic single crystals as well as powders of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamide-1-oxyl have been observed. Possible reasons of this fact are proposed.
