Abstract

We present a multidisciplinary investigation of some known and new 1,4,5,8-tetraazadecalin (TAD) derivatives. Their structure, static and dynamic conformational analysis, isomerization pathways and relative stabilities were studied using 1H-, 13C-, and 15N-NMR techniques. Molecular mechanics calculations were carried out using the MM2 force field and an earlier modified version for NCN containing systems. The peculiar stereoelectronic features of the CNCNC moieties in the TAD systems are emphasized.
