Contrasting circular dircular dichroism n →π* cotton effects of (1R,5S,6S)-6(endo)-methylbicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-one and (1S,2S,4R)-2(endo)-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-7-one
Abstract
The title compounds, with their line dissymmetric perturber methyl groups in very similar locations relative to the CO group, exhibit n →π* Cotton effects of considerably different magnitudes in their circular dichroism spectra run in n-pentane:Δε302=–2.4 for the former, Δε295=–0.6 for the latter.
