Sterically Facilitated Intramolecular Nucleophilic NMe<sub>2</sub> Group Substitution in the Synthesis of Fused Isoxazoles: Theoretical Study

The influence of steric repulsion between the NMe<sub>2</sub> group and a second <i>ortho</i>-(<i>peri</i>-)substituent in the series of 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylanilene <i>ortho</i>-oximes on the...

description The influence of steric repulsion between the NMe<sub>2</sub> group and a second <i>ortho</i>-(<i>peri</i>-)substituent in the series of 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylanilene <i>ortho</i>-oximes on the ease of the NMe<sub>2</sub> group’s intramolecular nucleophilic substitution is studied. Possible reaction intermediates for three mechanisms are calculated (ωB97xd/def-2-TZVP), and their free Gibbs energies are compared to model reaction profiles. Supporting experiments have proved the absence of studied reactivity in the case of simple 2-dimethylaminobenzaldoxime, which allowed us to establish reactivity limits. The significant facilitation of NMe<sub>2</sub> group displacement in the presence of bulky substituents is demonstrated. The possibility of fused isoxazoles synthesis via the intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of a protonated NMe<sub>2</sub> group in the aniline and naphthalene series is predicted.
