Permolecular Asymmetry.-I t is to be recognized that additional kinds of screw patterns of polarizability will be possible. Optically active allenes, spiranes and biphenyls show such patterns when viewed along their axes of asymmetry. These screw patterns, in effect, run through the molecule and will be called permolecular patterns; such patterns may be important in rigid and cyclic com-

The Optical Activity of Saturated Cyclic Compounds1 BY JAMES H. BREWSTER RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 2, 1958 It is shown that the principles of conformational asymmetry and the empirical constants used in estimating the sign and magnitude of rotation of acyclic compounds (part I ) can also be used in estimating the sign and magnitude of rotation of saturated cyclic compounds.

A flexible chain compound will generally have a relatively small rotation because its molecules can assume many conformations with different and opposed rotatory powers. It was shown in part I that the rotations of many open-chain compounds of known absolute configuration can be estimated by use of a simple system of conformational analysis and a series of empirical rotation constants for asymmetric conformations about individual bonds ; this treatment provides an explanation for the regularities observed in the rotations of acyclic compounds. The relatively large rotations of ring compounds can, then, be ascribed to their near rigidity which allows a display of the full rotatory powers of their asymmetric conformations.8 We may, accordingly, test the rotation constants obtained in part I by determining whether they can be used in estimating the sign and magnitude of rotation of cyclic compounds. It is shown in the present paper that these constants can, indeed, be used for this purpose, whence it follows that indirect support for the system of conformational analysis used in part I has been obtained. An important result of this test is the demonstration that, although the Marker Rules2 cannot be applied as such to cyclic compound^,^ the principles which lead to rules equivalent to those of Marker can be used successfully in the cyclic series so that the apparent lack of corre(1) A Useful Model of Optical Activity, Part 11; part I, preceding paper, p. 5475.

spondence between the cyclic and acyclic series4 disappears.6 Cyclohexane Derivatives.-Each of the ring bonds of the chair form of cyclohexane is asymmetric, alternating dextro (Ia) and levo (Ib); since these rotatory effects cancel completely, the optical activity of cyclohexane derivatives can be ascribed wholly to the asymmetric conformations made by the substituents with ring atoms or with one another.6 An isolated equatorial substituent, replacing H * in I a or Ib, has no effect on the conformational asymmetry of any of the bonds; an isolated axial substituent, replacing H in I a or Ib, causes equal and opposite changes in the asymmetry of the two nearby ring bonds but should have no effect on more distant bonds. Accordingly the epimers I I a and IIb should have essentially the same rotation and this rotation should be close t o ( 5 ) It should be noted that the present treatment of cyclic compounds was, in many important respects, anticipated by D H. Whiffen, i b i d . , 964 (19513, in a discussion of the rotatory properties of the hydroxytetrahydropyrans, the cyclitols and certain of the terpenes. It should also he noted, however, that the present treatment leads to several major simplifications and extensions of Whiffen’s work which would have been impossible were all of Whiffen’s conclusions accepted (see text, below). I t is, thus, one of the burdens of this paper to show that the principles presented here and in part I lead to results comparable to those obtained by Whiffen, the net result being to provide a broader justification of the rsscnfial points of his thesis. The author wishes to make it clear that no part of the present paper is to be regarded as an attack on Whiffen’s important pioneering contribution. (6) Asymmetrically distributed substituents may produce asymmetric distortions of the ring which could make the ring itself optically active. These effects will probably be small but might account for the small rotations observed in compounds otherwise expected to be optically inactive. These possible effects will, for the present, he ignored.

rotation. Thus, IV is the optically inactive parent compound of the 1,2-disubstituted cyclohexanes having the group A equatorial. Replacement of the equatorial hydrogen at position 2 (H* in Va) by B produces the conformation Vb, which has a rotation + k ( A - H) (B - H) higher than Va. The conformation about the bond 2-3 is not altered (see above). Hence diequatorial VI, the product of this transformation, should have the indicated rotation, I V being inactive. Similarly, if the substituent enters axial, to produce VI1 (C axial), the new substituent produces equal and opposite conformational changes relative to the ring atoms but interaction of the substituents make the conformations about bonds 1-2 and 2-3 more levorotatory by a total of - k ( A - H) (C - H). The other rotational changes shown in VI-IX can be worked out in a parallel way; these expressions, used in conjunction with the data of Table I, part I, constitute predictions of the sign and magnitude of rotation of the simple compounds shown or of the rotational shifts which should accompany conversion of analogs of IV to the corresponding analogs of VI-IX. For the most part, these predictions parallel the empirical conclusion of Klyne and Stokes7 that X will be dextrorotatory when C* is substituted. Note, however, that in the present picture one form of VI should be inactive and that in some cases VII, VI11 and I X could be levorotatory. The present rules should be much more general than that of Klyne and stoke^,^ which was developed for thepa rticular case where the substituent A (in X) is a hydroxy group.

For a test of these predictions we require rotation constants beyond those given in Table I, part I, as, for example, for the conformation X I . Such constants can be obtained by suitable combinations of those given in Table I, part I ; thus, from the values given for conformations XI1 and X I I I , we can estimate the value for X I to lie between 36’ and 48’. lo (10) T h e rotation constants for conformations X I 1 and X I I I are rounded t o the nearest five degrees.

Whiffens has shown that a value of +45’, which lies in the calculated range, can be used to calculate the sign and magnitude of rotation of eight polyhydroxy cyclohexanesll; this value, being suitably rounded, will be used here. It is important to note that estimates of this nature could not possibly be made by use of Whiffen’s treatment. In Table I1 are presented the rotatory shifts ( [ h l ] o ~ - ”to) be expected when a hydroxy group is placed on rings A, B or C of the steroid nucleus12 (ring D is treated separately below). This table can be used in predicting the rotatory effects of other substituents simply by replacing the numbers *50 by the value =kb(X - H)(C - H) as taken from Table I, part I. Additional values must, of course, be used when two adjacent substituents are considered. It is seen that for most cases the rotational difference between epimers is very closely predicted and that, in general, the directions of rotational shifts (relative to the unsubstituted compound) are correctly predicted, indicating the general correctness of this treatment. It will also be noted that sizeable discrepancies occur when predictions of individual rotation shifts are made; the fact that most of these discrepancies disappear when epimers are compared shows that they are produced by a persistent “anomaly.” A large mass of rotational data which have been accumulated suggests very strongly that this anomaly is produced by a flattening of the rings (to relieve conformational pressure exerted by the angular methyl groups on@-substituentsa t Cz, Cq, Cg, Cg and Cll and to relieve crowding of l@-, 7@- and 1la-substituents) ; these results will be presented in due time. I n the meantime, i t is of interest t o observe the extent to which correct predictions can be made by use of the presently accepted “full-chair” conformation model of the steroid nucleus. In Table I1 are presented rotations as predicted and as observed for monoamino-, hydroxy- and halo-cholestanes (A/B trans) (calculated from [MI f-93 for cholestane). Excluding the three italicized values, which are anomalous in magnitude but not in direction of shift, the average deviation from predicted values is 20’. I n Table I V are presented predicted and observed values for the hydroxycholanic acids. (and their esters) (A/B cis) ; this table includes a (11) See Whiffen’s paper6 for a tabulation of these results. The calculations for the cyclitols are in every respect identical t o those t h a t would be made under the present treatment. I n his further calculations, however, Whiffen uses an additional value of +32O for X I when it includes a glycosidic hydroxy group, and also a value of + 3 4 ” fot X I 1 (compare t h e present value of 50’). In these two regards, Whiffen’s treatment stands in contradiction t o t h a t presented here (see below). It is shown below the present values are adequate for calculating rotations of hydroxytetrahydropyrans and of terpene and steroid alcohols, and are, in most cases, superior t o those of Whiffen (12) The absolute configuration of the steroid nucleus has been shown t o be t h a t given below by t h e work of W. G. Dauben, D F. Dickel, 0. Jeger and V. Prelog, H e h . Chim. Acto, 36, 325 (1953), B. Riniker, D. Arigoni and 0. Jeger, abid., 37, 546 (1954); J. W. Cornforth, I. Youhotsky and G.

number of vicinal diols The persistent anomaly shown by 3a-hydroxy compounds in this series has been taken into account by use of the value [MI +l38" for 3a-hydroxycholanic acid (to be compared with the value f87' for cholanic acid). Excluding the two italicized values, which appear to be anomalous, the average deviation from the calculated values is 21'. A 50-hydroxy substituent also produces a small but persistent anomaly; as seen in Table V, rotations for a number of polyhydroxy cholestanes can be calculated (average deviation 15") when this effect has been taken into account. The data in Table VI provide a striking illustration of the "steroid anomaly" when individual rotations are calculated and an even more striking illustration of the disappearance of this anomaly when rotations of epimers are compared. It seems fair to conclude that the success with which differences in rotation of epimers can be calculated in this series provides strong support for the present treatment of optical activity. It must equally be concluded that the magnitude of individual discrepanciesl,indicates that some persistent factor is not being taken into account in these calculations; this factor could be: (a) an essential error in

These principles can also be applied to the alkyl cyclohexanols, but it must be remembered that some of these compounds can have two conformations of roughly the same energy. Thus, trans-2rnethylcyclohexanol (in configuration XIVa) l 3 has a molecular rotation of +44.2', in acceptable agreement with the value of +50° predicted for the diequatorial isomer.

Tetrahydropyran Derivatives.-The principles which permit the present major simplification and extension of Whiffen's treatment of conformational asymmetry5 appear to be contradicted a t three important points by Whiffen's work, These contradictions can be met only by showing that the present treatment allows a satisfactory calculation of the rotations of the pyranose sugars and their methyl glycosides by use of empirical rotation constants consistent (as some of Whiffen's are not) with the principles used here. It is shown below that these rotations can, indeed, be calculated using six such constants (rounded to the nearest Jive degrees) ; Whiffen used seven unrelated and unrounded constants in the same calculations. One of the present constants [k(C- H) (0- H) = +50°] corresponds in form t o Whiffen's constant H,5for which he gives a value of +34°42; as shown above and in part I, the present value 1s suitable for use with acyclic alcohols and is generally

The second of the present constants [K(O - H)? = + 4 5 O ] corresponds in form and magnitude to Whiffen's constant F and is, as Whiffen has ~ h o w n , ~suitable ~" for calculating the rotations of the cyclitols; as shown above, i t forms a consistent series with the values for k ( C - H)(O - H) and k(C - H)2usedinpartl. This constant will also be used to compute the rotation of asymmetric conformations about bond C, - Cz, where one of the hydroxy groups is glycosidic.

The tetrahydropyran ring, in contrast to cyclohexane, has an axis of polarizability difference (between 0 and (24). If the axial substituents at C1 and CSare different (as in XXXIX), they will form an axis of polarizability difference which will form a screw pattern of polarizability with the ring axis. This pattern, as seen in projection in XLI, has the character of a left-handed screw and should (part I) be dextrorotatory.

On this basis X X X I X heconies: 65 k ( C - E)(O - H ) - k ( O - H ) ( C - HI = +107; XL becomes: 65 - k ( C - O ) ( O - H ) = 60 (uiing t h e value k(O - H,," = 45) and XLV becornea: - k ( C E ) ( O - H ) = -92 . The empirical values give hetter fit5 and are used in Table XI.
