Abstract
Both possible nitrogen invertomers of the N-chloro-derivatives of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene (1b) and its 3,3-dideuterio-derivative (5), 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (2b), and 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene have been observed directly at low temperatures using 1H n.m.r. the signals due to the minor invertomers being identified with the aid of homonuclear INDOR spectroscopy. Inversion barriers increase as the size of the carbon bridges is decreased, reaching ca. 14.8 kcal mol–1 in the case of endo-→exo-(1b). exo : endo Invertomer ratios in these and other azabicyclic systems are discussed.Keywords
