NMR-STUDIES OF N-METHYL DERIVATIVES OF THE 2-AZABICYCLO [2.2.1]HEPTYL AND 2-AZABICYCLO[2.2.2]OCTYL RING-SYSTEMS - KINETIC PROTONATION IN DETERMINATION OF INVERTOMER PREFERENCES
The title compounds were studied by H-1, C-13, and N-15 NMR spectroscopy. Since inversion at nitrogen is rapid on the NMR time scale even at low temperatures, kinetic protonation was used to estimate invertomer ratios at ambient temperature. Invertomer preferences appear to be consistent with the operation of steric factors.
