Conformational behaviour of medium-sized rings. Part 15. 1,9,17-Triaza[2.2.2]metacyclophane-2,10,1 8-trione derivatives

Abstract
The stepwise synthesis of 1,9-dimethyl-1,9,17-triaza[2.2.2]metacyclophane-2,10,18-trione (1) from methyl m-aminobenzoate and m-nitrobenzoyl chloride is reported. The temperature dependences (i) of the 1H-decoupled 13C n.m.r. spectrum of the 1, 9,17-trimethyl derivative (2) and (ii) of the 1H n.m.r. spectrum of the 1,9-dimethyl-17-benzyl derivative (3) are interpreted in terms of equilibration between diastereoisomeric crown and saddle conformations in solution. The 1,9-dimethyl derivative (1) is believed to exist predominantly in the saddle conformation in solution.
