DLPNO-CCSD(T)/def2-TZVP//B3LYP/def2-SVP calculations indicate that the <em>endo</em> spiropentane diastereomers from phencyclone and tetracyclone are both more stable than the corresponding <em>exo</em> forms by 6.68 and 5.35 kcal mol<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. As noted previously in the phencyclone system, favorable π-stacking interactions between the two flat biphenyl moieties in the product and transition state may lead to the preferential formation of the <em>endo</em> diastereomer. However, the ability of the phenyl rings in the 3,4-position of the tetracyclone component to rotate could introduce destabilizing steric interactions in the transition state that hinder formation of the <em>endo</em> diastereomer in favor of the less thermodynamically stable <em>exo</em> isomer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7367,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications","volume":"81 6","pages":"Pages 554-558"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144245700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
