^(15)N NMR Spectrum of a 1,1-Diazene. N-(2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidyl)nitrene

Abstract

The low-temperature ^(15)N NMR spectrum of the 1,1-diazene, N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl)nitrene (l), is reported. The ^(15)N double- and mono-labeled 1,ldiazenes la and lb were synthesized. The nitrene and amino nitrogens of 1 have resonance in dimethyl ether at -90 ºC at 917.0 and 321.4 ppm, respectively, downfield from anhydrous ^(15)NH_3, affording a chemical shift difference of 595 ppm for the directly bonded nitrogen nuclei. The chemical shift of the ring nitrogen is consistent with an amino nitrogen whose lone pair is largely delocalized. The large downfield shift of the nitrene nitrogen is consistent with a large paramagnetic term due to a low-lying n → π^* transition.
