This work presents a theoretical study on the hydration of cyclohexylamine and isomers of cyclohexyldiamine. All possible conformers were fully optimized in solution using the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) and density functional theory. Values of the Gibbs energy of solvation, its respective contributions (electrostatic, nonelectrostatic and conformational change), and the relative Gibbs energy of the conformers in aqueous solution and gas phase are reported. From these values and the Boltzmann populations of the conformers in both phases, the weighted mean values of Delta G(solv) for the compounds are calculated. Three structural features were found to be important for the hydration of these compounds: the distance between the two NH2 groups (proximity disfavors hydration), their position relative to the ring (equatorial is preferred over axial), and the orientation of the nitrogen lone-pairs (gauche is more favorable to hydration than trans). In the particular case of vicinal cyclohexyldiamines, in addition to these two factors, the relative orientation of one group to the other should also be taken into account.
