Despite the remarkable advancements in hypervalent iodine chemistry, exploration of bromine and chlorine analogues remains its infancy due to their difficult synthesis. Herein, we introduce six-membered cyclic λ3-bromanes λ3-chloranes. Through single-crystal X-ray structural analyses conformational studies, delineate crucial bonding patterns pivotal for thermodynamic stability these compounds. Notably, investigations reveal pronounced π-π stacking phenomena within crystal lattice...

The conformational equilibria of selectively halogenated cyclohexanes are explored both experimentally (VT-NMR) for 1,1,4,-trifluorocyclohexane 7 and by computational analysis (M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level), with the latter approach extending to a wider range more highly fluorinated cyclohexanes. Perhaps unexpectedly, 7ax is preferred over 7eq conformation ΔG = 1.06 kcal mol–1, contradicting accepted norm substituents on axial preference stronger again in 1,1,3,3,4,5,5,-heptafluorocyclohexane 9...

Abstract We report counter‐intuitive axial preferences in non‐stereochemically biased, selectively fluorinated methoxycyclohexanes. These pseudo‐anomeric effects are apparent when electronegative CF 2 groups placed at the C‐2, C‐4 and C‐6 positions of cyclohexane ring to render C‐3/5 hydrogen atoms electropositive. The electrostatic interaction between these ‐OMe oxygen is stabilising. effect explored using high‐level ab initio DFT calculations framework NBO, QTAIM NCI analysis across a...

Concise and general synthesis protocols are reported to generate all-syn mono-, di- tri-alkylated cyclohexanes where a single fluorine is located on the remaining carbons of ring. The alkyl groups positioned lie equatorially have triaxial C-F bonds imparting polarity these ring systems. Intermolecular electrostatic interactions in solid-state structure trialkylated systems explored resultant supramolecular order opens up prospects for design soft materials.

In this theory study the dominance of non-classical 1,3-diaxial CH<sub>ax</sub>⋯OC hydrogen bonds (NCHBs) dictating anomeric effects in fluorinated methoxycyclohexanes and 2-methoxytetrahydropyrans is demonstrated, a phenomenon which most often described as consequence hyperconjugation.

The (β,β',β″-trifluoro)-tert-butyl (TFTB) group has received very little attention in the literature. This work presents a direct synthesis of this and explores its properties. TFTB arises when methyl groups tert-butyl moiety are exchanged for fluoromethyl groups. Sequential fluoromethylations result decrease Log P (increasing hydrophilicity), ultimately by 1.7 units relative to that benzene itself. A focus is placed on synthetic transformations, conformational analysis, metabolism context...

Theoretical decomposition of "through space" spin-spin coupling constants (SSCCs) in organofluorine compounds signal that intramolecular hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) are not the primary mechanism transmission for SSCCs. Increasing solvent polarity may disrupt H-bonds, but necessarily JFH SSCC. Substituent effects drastically alter SSCC pathway. Accurate analysis requires benchmarking theoretical calculations to support experimental data interpretation.

Theory and solution NMR indicate that all-syn 1,3,5-trifluorocyclohexane 5 adopts the expected tri-equatorial conformation, however in solid state more polar triaxial conformation is observed. This favoured conformations of substituted (Me, OMe, NH(CO)Me, NHBoc) derivatives are investigated to explore C-F preferences.

The importance of electrostatic nonconventional hydrogen bonds (NCHBs) to the pseudo-anomeric effect 4-substituted methoxycyclohexanes is evaluated using theory [natural bond orbital (NBO)] deconvolute from other contributing effects. There an interesting interplay between σCH → σCX* hyperconjugation and electropositive charge on 3,5-axial hydrogens (Hax). In essence, better (or πCO*) acceptors increase 3,5-CHax, which in turn strengthens Cδ+Hax···δ-OMe NCHB interactions.
