N??* Interactions Are Competitive with Hydrogen Bonds.


ABSTRACT: Because carbonyl groups can participate in both hydrogen bonds and n??* interactions, these two interactions likely affect one another. Herein, enhancement of an amidic n??* interaction is shown to reduce the ability of ?-keto amides to tautomerize to the enol, indicating decreased hydrogen-bonding capacity of the amide carbonyl group. Thus, an n??* interaction can have a significant effect on the strength of a hydrogen bond to the same carbonyl group.

Because carbonyl groups can participate in both hydrogen bonds and n→π* interactions, these two interactions likely affect one another. Herein, enhancement of an amidic n→π* interaction is shown to reduce the ability of β-keto amides to tautomerize to the enol, indicating decreased hydrogen-bonding capacity of the amide carbonyl group. Thus, an n→π* interaction can have a significant effect on the strength of a hydrogen bond to the same carbonyl group. ...[more]
