Abstract

Abstract Image

Basicity constants for a series of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives in acetonitrile with a variation over 13 orders of magnitude have been determined using a spectrophotometric titration technique. An excellent correlation between basicity and calculated proton affinities obtained at PCM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level was found. The results are discussed in terms of substituent effects and compared to 15N NMR chemical shifts.
