title: Anomeric effects in non-carbohydrate compounds: conformational differences between the oxazolidine rings of a cis-fused bicyclic system.
abstract: Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) can react with benzaldehyde (1:2 molar ratio) to produce cis-2,8-diphenyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1-aza-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octa ne, the structure of which has been confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure showed that both oxazolidine rings A and B are puckered in opposite directions. Ring A exists in an E3 envelope form with 0-3 noticeably down (0.65 A) the plane of the remaining atoms, whereas ring B adopts the 7E envelope conformation with the 0-7 atom displaced up from the mean reference plane by 0.70 A. Comparison of bond angles and bond distances showed that both oxazolidine rings A and B exhibit cross endo-anomeric effects resulting from electron delocalization over the bond sequence O-3-C-2-N-1-C-8-O-7.
