Abstract
The preparationand NMR spectra for a range of spirocyclic mono-, bis- and tris- quaternaryammonium salts are reported. In the case of the tricyclic bis(ammonium) salt 7 a dynamic process is observed in the C-13 NMR spectrum and by means of a variable temperature study and MAS solid state NMR this is attributed to ring-inversion of central ring with the axial and equatorial C-N+ carbons of the outer two rings being nonequivalent. The energy barrier for this inversion is determined to be 53.4 +/- 0.2 kJ mol(-1).
