Conformational analysis of some heterocyclic systems .1. Conformational analysis of substituted N-phenylcarbamoypiperidin-4-ones By:Kumar, RK (Kumar, RK); Pillay, MK (Pillay, MK) INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY SECTION B-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY INCLUDING MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY Volume: 35 Issue: 5 Pages: 418-425 Published: MAY 1996 View Journal Information Abstract The conformations of variously substituted N-phenylcarbamoylpiperidin-4-ones have been analysed using IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR data. The spectral data suggest the coplanar orientation of the phenylcarbamoyl moiety in all the compounds with respect to dynamically averaged plane of the piperidone ring system. The non-observation of anisochronous signals for the protons/carbons adjacent to the ring nitrogen, despite the coplanar orientation of the phenylcarbamoyl moiety is related to the faster rotation around the N-CO bond (i.e., lower activation energy barrier, Delta G#) compared to the NMR time scale. While the symmetrically substituted compounds viz., 6 and 10 are assumed to have a sofa conformation, a twist boat conformation is preferred by the other unsymmetrically substituted piperidones (7,8 and 9). In case of 8, the proposed conformation in solution is further cooroborated by the solid state conformation derived by X-ray diffraction study. The importance of A((1,3)) strain indicating the preferred conformations has also been described.
