X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that N-thiobenzoyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane displays marked nonplanarity of the thioamide (1a, alpha = 167.1 degrees and vertical bar tau vertical bar = 11.2 degrees) as compared with the corresponding monocyclic pyrrolidine thioamide (2a, alpha = 174.7 degrees and vertical bar tau vertical bar = 3.9 degrees). In a series of para-substituted or unsubstituted thioaroyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (1a-1h), the planarity of the thioamide depended significantly on the electronic nature of the substituent; for example, in the p-nitro-substituted compound, planarity was substantially restored (1h, alpha = 175.2 degrees and vertical bar tau vertical bar = 0.1 degrees). In solution, increasing electron-withdrawing character of the aromatic substituent was associated with a larger rotational barrier of the bicyclic thioamides, as determined by means of variable-temperature H-1 NMR spectroscopy and line shape analysis. The reduced rotational barrier, that is, reduced enthalpy of activation (Delta H double dagger) for thioamide rotation, of la as compared with that of 2a in nitrobenzene-d(5) is consistent with the postulate that la assumes a nonplanar thioamide structure in solution. These results indicate that the planarity of thioamides based on 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane is controlled by electronic factors in the solid phase and in solution.
