The conformations of a series of 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinanes containing three-coordinate phosphorus I (R = OMe, (CF3)2CHO, NMe2, R1 = R2 = H, Me; R = same, R1 = CMe3, R2 = H) have been determined by the use of 1H, 31P, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The rings were substituted at ring nitrogen, N(3), with a Me group to compare its effect on conformational energies with those of 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinanes reported earlier that featured a larger substituent at N(3), Ph or i-Pr. Quite expectedly, like those rings previously studied with Ph or i-Pr at N(3), a MeO or (CF3)2CHO substituent at phosphorus has a strong preference to be axial on a chair-form ring I (R = OMe, (CF3)2CHO, R1 = R2 = H, Me) and cis-I (R = OMe, (CF3)2CHO, R1 = CMe3, R2 = H), or pseudoaxial on a ring in a twist/boat conformation, trans-I (R = OMe, R1 = CMe3, R2 = H). However, when Me2N is attached to phosphorus, the newly studied N(3)Me rings display a chair-chair conformational equilibrium, II ⇄ III, with the Me2N equatorial ring, III, mildly dominant. This contrasts with ratios of 17/83 and 20/80 for the corresponding N(3)Ph analogs. The observed change in the free energy of the equilibrium II ⇄ III, 1.2-1.3 kcal/mol, is ascribed to the dominant influence of a decrease in repulsion experienced in conformation III between the equatorial Me2NP and the smaller Me at N(3) (Me2N(eq)/N(3)Me destabilization) compared to that experienced with the N(3)Ph and N(3)-i-Pr analogs. This steric influence of N(3) substituents on the equilibrium II ⇄ III is opposite to that found for four-coordinate phosphorus containing 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinanes in which Me2NP(ax)/N(3)Ph repulsions that destabilize II appear to be dominant.
