Abstract
Nine conformers were identified for N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) with a number of theoretical methods, and their relative energies were compared. The heats of formation at 298 K (ΔH°f298) were determined at the G3(MP2) level. The ΔH°f298 value for the most stable conformer is -24.7 kJ mol-1, which is in good agreement with the literature value of -19.7 kJ mol-1. (The weighted average ΔH°f298 for all conformers is -22.6 kJ mol-1.) Intramolecular interactions in TMEDA such as the steric effect, gauche effect, anomeric effect, and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding were investigated by molecular mechanics and natural bond orbital analysis. © 2000 American Chemical Society.
