13C NMR spectra of sixteen lupane and 19β,28-epoxy-18α-oleanane triterpenoids I-XVI were measured and a complete structural assignment of chemical shifts was made. For most compounds also the carbon spin-lattice relaxation times T1 were obtained. Characteristic differences in chemical shifts of some carbon atom signals were found between 2α-methyl-3-oxo and 2α-methyl-1-oxo derivatives II, V and VIII with chair conformation of the ring A on the one hand and their 2β-isomers III, VI and IX (boat form) on the other. Using these 2-methyl ketones as models, the chair-boat population in allobetulone (I), 3-oxo-28-lupanenitrile (IV) and 1-oxo derivative VII was determined. The results agree well with the data obtained by other physical methods.

Phytol has been incorporated into lecithin bilayers. 13C spin–lattice relaxation times, which have been measured for both components of the model membrane, indicate a marked destabilization of the bilayer due to intercalated phytol. The disruption of normal phospholipid packing is due to the highly branched nature of the phytyl hydrocarbon chain. In addition, the position of phytol in the bilayer has been determined by means of a linear electric field effect of the polar lipid head group upon the 13C chemical shifts of the phytol olefinic carbons.

The conformational equilibrium in [13C-1-methyl]-cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane has been assessed by (a) direct integration of signals due to equatorial and axial methyl carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum at 172 K and (b) by measurement of the 13C chemical shifts of C-1 and C-4 in the spectrum at 300 K. It is concluded that a 13C isotope effect on the position of the degenerate equilibrium in cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is either nonexistent, or is too small to be detected by methods of analyses employed. The 13C nmr data incidental to the study (chemical shifts, coupling constants, spin–lattice relaxation times, nuclear Overhauser enhancements, and 1-bond isotope shifts) are recorded for the title compound and its trans-isomer.

The keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium of dimedone has been investigated by high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy. Kinetic information of the solution keto-enol tautomerism for dimedone in DMSO, in the temperature range of 25–85 °C, was derived from line shape measurements in a 75-MHz spectrometer. A value of 3.43 Kcal/mol was found for the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and of 1.07 × 106 s−1 for the pre-exponential factor A. With the use of the observed chemical shifts in the high-resolution 13C-NMR spectra of dimedone in the solid state, an estimate coalescence temperature of 240 K for dimedone in DMSO was obtained by extrapolation of the experimental curve. The estimated free energy of activation at the coalescence temperature, Δ Gc≠, is 10.8 Kcal/mol. Finally, the 13C spin-lattice relaxation times, T1(13C), in solid dimedone were measured as a function of temperature in the range of 25 to 90 °C. The data are discussed in terms of the different motional environments that result from the geometric restrictions imposed by hydrogen bonding in the crystal structure.

This is a report on the use of 13C NMR spectroscopy to study the structure of polyethylenes, polyethylene-olefin copolymers, and polyethylene model systems, through the observation of chemical shifts and spin-lattice relaxation times of individual carbons. Information is obtained on the type and numbers of side chains of polyethylenes from solution spectra at higher temperatures. The level of detectability of side chains is established at 2 side chain carbons per 1000 skeletal carbons. The observed chemical shifts are accounted for well by standard additivity schemes. The low-density polyethylenes show spectra which are distinctly different from high-density polyethylenes. The 13C-determined branch frequencies show the same general trend as the IR results, but it is also argued that the former are more accurate. Relaxation times of the various carbons of the model system C44 paraffin vary from 2.94 s for the backbone methylenes to 8.33 s for the terminal methyls to 11.11 s for α-methyls. Indicative of the behavior of olefin/polyethylene copolymers is the finding that all carbons of the copolymer have spin-lattice relaxation times of about 1.5 s, except for branch methyls which are 6 s. A series of polyethylenes at this high temperature shows relaxation times for the backbone methylene varying from 1.4 to 1.7 s, indicating that at this temperature, branching does not substantially affect the dynamic behavior of polyethylene.

Abstract Carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts and carbon-13 spin-lattice relaxation times of potassium propoxybenzoate and potassium butoxybenzoate in deuterium oxide solution were measured at various concentrations. For the alkoxy group, the earbon-13 resonance peak of the O-CH2 segment is shifted rapidly up-field upon micellization, while the resonance peaks of other methylene groups are shifted downfield. This observation is ascribed to the conformational change of the alkoxy group on micellization. In the monomolecular solution of potassium butoxybenzoate, the restricted state of the O-CH2 bond was estimated by carbon-13 spin-lattice relaxation time measurement. It was also found that micellization brings about a further restricted internal rotation about the O-CH2 bond.
