NAD/NADH models with axial/central chiralities: superiority of the quinoline ring system.
Precursors of NAD model compounds 1c and 3a,b were successfully resolved into their atropisomers with respect to carbamoyl rotation. Atropisomers of quinoline derivatives are much more stable than pyridine derivatives as determined by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray crystallography. The 1,4-reduction of NAD model compound 4 was successfully achieved, affording novel NADH model compound 5. The rotational properties of the side chain of 5 were investigated by means of dynamic NMR. The rotational rate and syn/anti ratio, which indicate the orientation between carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen at the 4-position, are significantly affected by addition of magnesium ion. In the rotational transition state, the double-bond character of the C(carbonyl)-N(amide) bond is disrupted judging from the activation parameters. The oxidation of chiral 5 with p-benzoquinone in the presence of magnesium ion catalyst gave predominantly one enantiomer of 4. On the other hand, oxidation of 5 with p-chloranil (tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone) in the absence of magnesium ions affords the opposite enantiomer of 4 as the major product. The product enantiomer ratio is parallel to the syn/anti ratio in the starting material, indicating the importance of ground state conformation to stereochemistry of the reaction.
