Deformative Transition of the Menschutkin Reaction and Helical Atropisomers in a Congested Polyheterocyclic System by Yung-Yu Chang (1724704)

“…Conformational flexibility in dipyridylethene <b>9</b> is clearly shown by its complexation with BH₃ to form helical atropisomers (<i>P,P</i>/<i>M,M</i>)-<b>10</b>. The p<i>K</i>_a values of the conjugate acids of <b>1A</b> and <b>9</b> in acetonitrile were determined to be 4.65 and 5.07, respectively, which are much smaller compared to that of pyridine <b>14a</b> (p<i>K</i>_a = 12.33), implying that the basicity, nucleophilicity, and amine alkylation rates of <b>1A</b> and <b>9</b> are markedly decreased by the severe steric hindrance of the flanking phenyl rings in the polyheterocycles.…”
