Stable Pyramidal configurations at the Nitrogen Atoms of Dialkyl-and Trialkyl-triaziridinesStereochemical features of the recently synthesized nine samples of di- and trialkyl-triaziridines, namely the 1,3-cyclopentylen-(series a) and the two stereoisomers of the diisopropyl derivatives (series b and c), containing as the third substituent an H-atom (2), a CH3 group (3)or a CH2OH group (4), were elaborated on the basis of the 1H-, 13C-, and 15N-NMR spectra. The three N-atoms of the saturated N3-homocycle were found to be stable to pyramidal inversion in all cases. According to their NMR spectra, 2-4 of the series a and b possess twofold symmetry (Cs), while 2-4 of series c are asymmetric. Thus, series c has the trans-configuration at N(2)/N(3) and, consequently, the cis-configuration at N(1)/N(2), while series a and b have the cis-configuration at N(2)/N(3) and -since the all-cis-arrangement is excluded-the trans-configuration at N(1)/N(2). The asymmetry of the trans-configurated 2c turned into twofold symmetry (C2), when a little CF3COOH was added. The 1H- and 13C-NMR data of series b and c of our alkyl-triaziridines exhibit a shielding effect, according to which there are two types of i-Pr groups, i-Pr(a) and i-Pr(b). They differ in the NMR signals of the H- and the C-atoms of their CH groups: the H-atoms of i-Pr(a) are more deshielded by 0.75-1.111 ppm and its C-atoms are more shielded by 10.0-160.0 ppm as compared to the corresponding atoms of i-Pr(b). i-Pr(a) is cis (on the N3-homocycle) to a large substituent (such as i-Pr, Me, CH2OH) and to a lone pair, while i-Pr(b)is cis only to a small (H) or to no substituent and to one or two lone pairs. An analogous effect appears in the NMR signals of the CH3 and CH2OH groups at N(1) of 3 and 4 in the series b and c.
