Abstract

1,11-Dilithio-5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-5,7-dihydrodibenz[c,e]oxepin (3; shown as I) is a conformationally confined analog of o,o'-dilithiobiphenyl (1). A temp. variable NMR study of this model compd., monitoring the coalescence of its diastereotopic Me groups, has revealed a barrier of about 12 kcal/mol to planarization, just 2 kcal/mol less than that found with the metal-free heterocycle. Thus, the energetic benefit of intramol. aggregation of o,o'-dilithiobisaryls is significantly smaller than that predicted by ab initio calcns. [on SciFinder (R)]

Ring strain

In organic chemistry, ring strain is a type of instability that exists when bonds in a molecule form angles that are abnormal. Strain is most commonly discussed for small rings such as cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes, whose internal angles are substantially smaller than the idealized value of approximately 109°. Because of their high strain, the heat of combustion for these small rings is elevated. Ring strain results from a combination of angle strain, conformational strain or Pitzer strain (torsional eclipsing interactions), and transannular strain, also known as van der Waals strain or Prelog strain.

Algebraic group

In mathematics, an algebraic group is an algebraic variety endowed with a group structure that is compatible with its structure as an algebraic variety. Thus the study of algebraic groups belongs both to algebraic geometry and group theory. Many groups of geometric transformations are algebraic groups; for example, orthogonal groups, general linear groups, projective groups, Euclidean groups, etc. Many matrix groups are also algebraic. Other algebraic groups occur naturally in algebraic geometry, such as elliptic curves and Jacobian varieties.

Strain (chemistry)

In chemistry, a molecule experiences strain when its chemical structure undergoes some stress which raises its internal energy in comparison to a strain-free reference compound. The internal energy of a molecule consists of all the energy stored within it. A strained molecule has an additional amount of internal energy which an unstrained molecule does not. This extra internal energy, or strain energy, can be likened to a compressed spring.
