Abstract
The equilibrium structures of the 11 possible oxo-derivatives of sparteine were investigated with the density functional theory, using the B3LYP functional. The conformational preferences of the seven amino-ketonic sparteines are consonant with those of the parent free base, whose lowest energy conformer consists of a chair-chair quinolizidine A/B-trans system and a boat-chair quinolizidine C/D-trans system. A similar situation also occurs for lactams 2-oxo- (lupanine), 15-oxo-, and 17-oxo-sparteine, whose ketonized ring has a half-chair/sofa, half-chair, and sofa shape, respectively. Unlike the other isomers, the most stable conformer of lactam aphylline (10-oxo-sparteine) adopts the chair-sofa A/B-transoid, chair-chair C/D-cisoid disposition of the two quinolizidine moieties. These theoretical predictions are consistent with the available X-ray experimental results.
