Application of 1,1-ADEQUATE, HMBC, and Density Functional Theory To Determine Regioselectivity in the Halogenation of Pyridine N-Oxides
文摘
The 1,1-ADEQUATE spectrum clearly shows specific two-bond proton to carbon correlations to unequivocally distinguish the major and minor regioisomers of ortho-halogenated pyridines and to aid in assignment of the corresponding proton and carbon chemical shifts. M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) free energies of the regioisomeric intermediates arising from deprotonation correctly predict the experimentally observed preference and thus can be used to tune the substituent pattern to yield a desired regiochemical outcome.
