《The Effect of Spatial Hindrance on Stereoselective Synthesis of Real Enaminoesters and Determination of the Relative Stability of the Two E- and Z-Isomers of Hypothetical Enaminoesters》 was written by Ghodsi, Fatemeh; Shahraki, Mehdi; Habibi-Khorassani, Sayyed Mostafa; Nassiri, Mahmoud; Fazilatkhah, Malihe. Formula: C5H6O2 And the article was included in Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds in 2020. The article conveys some information:
The three-component reactions of isoquinoline and acetylenic esters in the presence of 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol has been investigated. The reactions were proceeded smoothly at room temperature without the usage of a catalyst. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and spectral studies. Also, quantum mech. calculations were carried out using the ab initio and DFT methods at the HF/6-31G (d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) levels of theory to determine the stability of the two E and Z-isomers from both the hypothetical and real reactions between phenantridine or isoquinoline and di-Me acetylendicarboxylate in the presence of phenol derivatives for the generation of enaminoesters, in both gas phase and solvent media (polar and nonpolar). The results showed that more effective hindrance of any reactants (phenol derivatives, acetylenic esters and phenantridine or isoquinoline) should be considered for the generation of highly stereoselective enaminoester (E-isomer) in real or hypothetical synthesis. To reduce the effect of spatial hindrance on all cases (real or hypothetical synthesis) of E-enaminoester, corresponding to its more stability, the hydrogen atom and phenanthridine (or isoquinoline) moieties were positioned on the side of the double bond within the structure of an enaminoester. The E-isomers were recognized as the preferential form of the highly stable enaminoester and they can be considered as an effective product that has biol. activity. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as Ethyl propiolate(cas: 623-47-2Formula: C5H6O2)
Ethyl propiolate(cas: 623-47-2) is a clear colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in ethanol, ether and chloroform. It an important organic chemical raw material and pharmaceutical intermediate. Ethyl propargylate is obtained by oxidation of propargyl alcohol to propargylic acid followed by esterification.Formula: C5H6O2
