Restricted rotation about the N-S partial double bonds in a bis-N-triflyl substituted 3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivative 1 has been frozen at low temperature (ΔG(≠) = 11.6 kcal mol(-1)), and the existence of all four rotamers about the two N-S bonds, 3-in,8-in, 3-in,8-out, 3-out,8-in, and 3-out,8-out, respectively, proved experimentally by NMR spectroscopy and theoretically by DFT and MP2 calculations.
Keywords: 13C; 19F; 1H; Conformational equilibrium; Dynamic NMR; NMR; restricted N-S rotation.
