Abstract:

During the last few years, considerable interest has been focused on the atropisomerism of N-aryl bond contain compounds which belong to one of the most common classes with atropisomers. Six N-aryl methyl maleopimaric acid diimides(4a—4f) were synthesized from aromatic amines andmaleopimaric acid trimethyl ester(3). The structures of the compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. The atropiso-merism and kinetics analyses of the N-(1-naphthyl) maleopimaric acid diimides were carried out by 1H NMR. In the course of preparing resin-based chiralregent, atropisomerism was found in N-(1-naphthy) maleopimaric acid diimides(4f). The N-(1-phenyl) maleopimaric acid diimide(4a), N-(2-carboxy phenyl) methyl maleopimaric acid diimide(4b), N-(2-nitrophenyl)-methyl maleopimaric acid diimide(4c), N-(2-chlorophenyl)-methyl maleopimaric acid diimide(4d) and N-[1-(2-amine)-phenyl]-methyl maleopimaric acid diimide(4e) did not exist atropisomerism due to the smaller steric effects. The results indicated that maleopimaric N-naphthylimide(4f) underwent slow trans-cis conversion and induced in a gradual change of different [trans]/[cis] ratio during dissolution in CDCl3 at ambient temperature.
