The reactions of 2,4- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHBA) with chromium(III) in weak acidic aqueous solutions have been shown to take place in at least two stages. The first stage of the reactions has an observed rate constantk1(obs)=k1[DHBA]+Cand the corresponding activation parameters areΔH1(2,4)≠=49,5 kJ/mol−1,ΔS1(2,4)≠=−103,7J mol−1K−1,ΔH1(2,5)≠=60,3 kJ/mol−1, andΔS1(2,5)≠=−68,0 J mol−1K−1. These are composite activation parameters and the breaking of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the two ligands is suggested to be the first step of the (composite) first stage of the reactions. The second stage is ligand concentration independent and is thus attributed to a chelation process. The corresponding activation parameters areΔH2(2,4)≠=45,13 kJ/mol−1,ΔS2(2,4)≠=−185,9 J mol−1K−1,ΔH2(2,5)≠=54,55 kJ/mol−1, andΔS2(2,5)≠=−154,8 J mol−1K−1. The activation parameters support an associative mechanism for the second stage of the reactions. The various substitution processes are accompanied by proton release, resulting in pH decrease.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.

A novel amphiphilic acylguanidine organocatalyst using intramolecular hydrogen bonding as a key structural motif is efficient for asymmetric aldol reactions of ketones in water at neutral pH.
