Protonation-triggered conformational modulation of an N,N′-dialkylbispidine: first observation of the elusive boat–boat conformer

Abstract: Modulation of the solution conformations of N,N'-bis(benzhydryl)bispidine has been achieved by protonation. Conformers have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy using nuclear Overhauser effects and residual dipolar couplings. In contrast to the preference for the chair-chair conformation for the free base and the monoprotonated species, the diprotonated bispidine is revealed to exist as a mixture of chair-boat and boat-boat conformers. While boat-boat conformers of bispidines have previously not been detecte… Show more

“…We believe that the protonation at the Pyr side of bispidine nitrogen changes the conformation of 1 from chairchair to boat-chair hence rendering it unsuitable for intramolecular complex formation (Scheme 2). 32 The fact that 1 is stable in the presence of 3.16 Â 10 À3 M [H + ] is amply evident by the mass spectroscopic data (Fig. S8, ESI †).…”

“…11 Besides its bioactive properties, the peculiar three-dimensional structure has attracted attention for use in the design of bicyclic scaffolds, which can interconvert between conformations. 9,[12][13][14][15] Bispidine derivatives can adopt three main conformations: the chair-chair (CC), chair-boat (CB), and boat-boat (BB) conformations, respectively (Scheme 1a). The bispidine skeleton mainly adopts the most thermodynamically feasible of the three conformations.…”

“…[26] However, the boat-boat conformer seems too energetically unfavourable, a recent report by Norrehed et al claims the existence of a bispidine bicycle as a mixture of chair-boat and boat-boat conformation. [31] The presence of the bispidine scaffolds in quinolizidine alkaloids ( Figure 1) was discovered about more than a hundred and fifty years back but still several aspects and usefulness of this molecule has remained unexplored. Since the diamine form of the bispidine framework is resourceful in the biological forefront, considerable research has been conducted on the effect of substituents at N3 and N7 in particular.…”
