title: Non-empirical calculations of NMR indirect spin-spin coupling constants. Part 13: configurational assignment of aminosulfonylamidines.
abstract: Carbon-carbon coupling constants have been experimentally measured using the INADEQUATE pulse sequence in the series of N-[1,2-bis(dialkylamino)-2-arylethylidene]arylsulfonamides obtained from N-(1-aryl-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)amides of arylsulfonic acids. Comparison of the experimental J(C,C) in this series with those calculated at the SOPPA (Second-Order Polarization Propagator Approach) level in the model aminosulfonylamidine provided an unambiguous assignment at the C=N bond of the eight-title aminosulfonylamidines to E-configuration, while the unknown J(C,C) couplings in their inaccessible diverse Z isomers have been predicted with high reliability. The established marked difference between J(C,C) of the corresponding carbon-carbon bonds in cis and trans orientations to the nitrogen lone pair in aminosulfonylamidines provides a powerful tool in the configurational assignment at the C=N bond in a wide series of the related systems containing the C=N-SO2R moiety.
