Methyl-_cis and _trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate, ethyl-_cis and _trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide were synthesized and purified by gas chromatography.
Lanthanide induced shifts (LIS) of above six compounds have been measured with Eu(fod). All protons in cyclopropane ring are assigned with chemicall shifts and lanthanide induced shifts. The trend of lanthanide induced shifts of the protons in cyclopropane ring is H_D>H_B>H_C>H_A in cis compounds. The geometric isomer can be determined by the trend of the lanthanide induced shifts of the protons in cyclopropane ring.
The lanthanide induced shift of H_B in cis compounds are much smaller than those of trans compounds in consequence of the steric hinderance of phenyl grop for the formation fo lanthanide shift reagent-substrate complexes. The basicity of amino group in phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide cannot much contribute to the change of the lanthanide induced shifg, comparing to the steric factor.
This explanation can be supported by the different formation constant of methyl-_trans-2-phenycyclopropanecarboxylate-Eu (fod)_3 complexes (K=33±17), methyl-_cis-2-phenycyclopropanecarboxylate-Eu (fod)_3 complexes(K=15?5) and N,N-dimethyl-_trans-2-phenylcyclopopanecarboxamide-Eu(fod)_3 complexes(K=18±2)
