Notes:
It has been established that the product of the reaction of N-pentafluorophenylcarbonimidoyl dichloride (1) with dibenzylamine, viz. N2-pentafluorophenyl-N1,N1-dibenzylchloroformamidine (4a) is a Z-isomer, whereas according to the concept of stereoelectronic control one might have expected a product with E-configuration. The heat of formation and the geometry of Z- and E isomer of N2-pentafluorophenyl-N1,N1-diethylchloroformamidine (4b) (the latter is a product of the reaction of 1 with diethylamine) were calculated with the semi-empirical MNDO method. The calculated geometry of (Z)-4b was found to be in a good agreement with the experimentally determined structure of 4a. The formation of (Z)-4b is more preferable energetically than that of (E)-4b; the calculated difference in the heats of formation is 2·8 kcal mol-1. Thermodynamic control of the reaction stereochemistry is proposed.
