ABSTRACT Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of the OH stretching band in 2,2-dimethyl-1,3dioxolane-4-methanol has been studied. The OH stretching vibration for the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species in the (R)-enantiomer gives rise to a positive VCD band but no VCD band for the hydrogen-bond free species. It is shown that the G-G’ conforr-------1 mation in the intramolecular hydrogen bond system H-O$#-Ogives a positive VCD band for the OH stretching vibration. The thermodynamic parameters in equilibrium between the free and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species have been determined as AH = -7.8 kJ mol.’ and AS = -18 kJ K-’ mol-‘. INTRODUCTION
Since the first successful measurement of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) by Holtzworth and co-workers [2, 31, the methodology in VCD has been extensively developed along both experimental and theoretical lines over the past decade and it has been demonstrated that this new spectroscopy will provide a new aspect of absolute configuration and conformational details in chiral molecules [ 4-91. In our laboratory VCD studies of hydrogen bonded systems are currently in progress [ 11. In the present study the correlation between the VCD of the OH stretching vibration and the conformation of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in 2,2dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol has been worked out. Also the conformational equilibrium between the free and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species has been studied by IR spectroscopy. Several studies associated with intramolecular hydrogen bonds in 1,3-dioxolane-4methanol and related molecules have been carried out by IR [l&--14] and NMR [15, 161 spectroscopy. *See ref. 1 for Part I. **Dedicated to the memory 0022-2860/86/$03.50

EXPERIMENTAL
(R)- and (S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol was obtained from Tokyo Kasei Co. Spectroscopic grade carbon tetrachloride was dried over 3 a molecular sieves and used as the solvent. Infrared spectra were measured on a JASCO A3 IR spectrophotometer interfaced to a personal computer (NEC PC-9801). The VCD spectra were measured with ca. 18 cm-’ resolution on a JASCO J-200E IR spectropolarimeter interfaced to a personal computer (NEC PC-9081) as described previously [ 11. The IR and VCD spectra in the OH stretching frequency region were studied in 9 mM (1 M = 1 mol dme3) concentration in carbon tetrachloride. At this concentration intermolecular hydrogen bonding was negligible. A thermostated IR quartz cell of 5 mm path length was used. The absorbances were measured at different temperatures in the region lO--70°C. The digitized absorbance data were simulated by the method of least-squares assuming the Lorentzian curves, in order to resolve overlapped bands and obtain integrated absorption coefficients. The curves simulated with the Lorentzian band contours reproduced the observed spectra well. The equilibrium constants were calculated by the method proposed by Hartman et al. [ 171. RESULTS

and one can obtain the integrated molar absorption coefficients (Yf and &b and calculate the equilibrium constants from eqn. (1) [ 171. From a linear plot of A, versus Af as shown in Fig. 2 the integrated molar absorption coefficients were calculated as of = 1660 and (Yb= 3330 cmv2 M-’ and (Yb/&f= 2.0. With these values the equilibrium constants were obtained as listed in Table 1. From the equilibrium constants obtained the population ratio of the bonded to free conformers was calculated as 72:28 at 30°C. The van?

The VCD spectrum in the OH stretching region of (R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3dioxolane-4-methanol as shown in Fig. 3 exhibits only one positive band at 2.2-Dimethyi-1.3-dloxoione-4-methanol Ab af = 1660 cm-‘M-’ Q = 3330 cm-2M-1 Ub/“, = 2.0

3600 cm-’ corresponding to the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded OH stretching. The apparent rotational strength is 0.37 X 1O-43 (esu cm)* and the anisotropy factor is g = 2.4 X lo-‘, comparable to those for VCD bands reported so far. The correction for the population of the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species gives the rotational strength R = 0.5 X 1O-43(esu cm)2. Neither VCD bands could be observed for the free OH nor for the inter-molecularly hydrogen-bonded band in a concentrated solution. It has been established that the 3-position oxygen atom in the dioxolane ring is a proton acceptor site in the intramolecular hydrogen bond in 1,3dioxolane-4-methanol derivatives [ lO--141 . Two conformations are possible in the intramolecular hydrogen bond of (R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4methanol, one is the G+ conformation with the dihedral angle of + 60” about the O,-C,-C-OH bond and the other is G- with -6O”, as shown in Fig. 4. The G’ conformation would be a stable form while the G- conformer might

be excluded because of steric hindrance between the hydroxyl group and ring atoms. Therefore we conclude that the OH stretching vibration gives a positive VCD band for the G-G’ conformation in the intramolecular hydrogen bond system I%--$?!&6-. Recently, Freedman et al. [18] proposed an interesting theory on VCD intensity enhancement by a vibrationally generated ring current mechanism for the intramolecular hydrogen bond ring systems. The prediction of VCD sign by their theory for the present hydrogen bond system is not decisive because of the unfavorable orientation of the OH bond, which is approximately coplanar with the expected ring current loop. However, the observation that only the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded OH stretching band exhibits a distinct VCD but indistinct features for the free band could mean that the vibrational ring current mechanism might apply in this system.
