Figure 5 Spectroscopic evidence that carbonyl dichloride fuels the unidirectional rotation of 2. Partial 1 H NMR spectra (monitoring the bridgehead proton relative to (CH3)4Si=0 p.p.m.) indicate the sequence of events as a function of time. Numbers next to peaks in the spectra refer to structures in Fig. 3. a, 2 in CDCl3; b, t0; addition of Cl2C=O and Et3N. 2 is rapidly converted to intramolecular urethane 5 via isocyanate 3; the isocyanates 3 and 4 convert to 5 too rapidly to be seen in the spectra. c, After 1.6 h at ambient temperature (~22 °C), ~30% of 5 has rotated " over the hump " (Fig. 2d to Fig. 2f) to 6. d, e, f, Over further time, rotation of 5 to 6 continues, with unidirectional conversion of 5 to 6 being >80% complete in ~6 h. Urethane 6 was isolated and shown to be identical to material prepared directly from amine rotamer 7 by reaction with Cl2C=O/Et3N. Control experiments established that 6 does not convert to 5; that is, that the conversion of 5 → 6 is unidirectional. The assignment of structures to 3-6 is corroborated by infrared spectroscopic monitoring of the relevant reactions of 2, 7 and 9 with Cl2C=O/NEt3 (and also 10 in the case of 9), performed using ReactIR technology; this equipment makes it possible to record in situ, and in real time, the infrared spectra of reaction mixtures and to thereby assay functional group changes as they occur. treatment of 7 with Cl 2 C = O/Et 3 N leads rapidly to 6, but 6 does not detectably convert to 5). Finally, 6 is cleaved to give 7, thereby completing the chemically driven rotation of 2 to 7. Control experiments demonstrate that in the absence of Cl 2 C=O/Et 3 N, pure 2 slowly converts (over several days) to an approximately 1:0.8:1 equilibrium mixture of 2, 7 and 8 (the third low-energy rotamer: see Fig. 4). In Fig. 5 we show the experimental data which establish that the events in Fig. 3 proceed as indicated. 1. Rayment, I. et al.
