Abstract:
Trivalent nitrogen compounds are almost tetrahedral so that the lone pair occupies one of the tetrahedral positions. This, in turn, causes the inversion of these tetrahedral molecules. In this study, N-inversion in N-phenylaziridines (without substituent and with a substituent group (F, Cl, Br, CN, NH2, NO2, OH, and Me) in both para and meta positions of the phenyl ring) was studiedby the Gaussian 09 program. The optimum geometric structures of initial and transition states were obtained using ab initio calculations at the MP2\6-31G* level of theory and in both the gas phase and CH2Cl2 solvent. The effects of the different substituent groups on kinetic parameters were studied and then Hammett curves were plottedthrough the Hammett equation. With respect to the obtained rate constants and Hammett curves, it can be concluded that the electron-withdrawing substituents increase the rate of inversion due to withdrawing of nitrogen lone pair towards themselves, and therefore, generating a stabilizing resonance current. Conversely, the electron-donating substituents decrease the rate of inversion. The transition state in an inversion of a n-phenylaziridine molecule with para-substituted NO2 group has the lowest activation energy.
