AbstractBullvalene C10H10 and its analogs semibullvalene C8H8, barbaralane C9H10, and 9-Borabarbaralane C8BH9 are prototypical fluxional molecules with rapid Cope rearrangements at finite temperatures. Detailed bonding analyses performed in this work reveal the existence of two fluxional π-bonds (2 2c-2e π → 2 3c-2e π → 2 2c-2e π) and one fluxional σ-bond (1 2c-2e σ → 1 4c-2e σ → 1 2c-2e σ) in their ground states and transition states, unveiling the universal π + σ double fluxional bonding nature of these fluctuating cage-like species. The highest occupied natural bond orbitals (HONBOs) turn out to be typical fluxional bonds dominating the dynamics of the systems. The 13C-NMR and 1H-NMR shielding tensors and chemical shifts of the model compound C8BH9 are computationally predicted to facilitate future experiments.

During a reinvestigation of the 13C NMR spectra of 1-fluoronaphthalene (1) and of 2-fluoronaphthalene (2) at 20 and 25.16 MHz, uncertainties that existed in the literature about signal assignments for 1 could be cleared. In the spectral analyses for 2 given so far, five out of ten signals were incorrectly assigned. The corrected assignment is supported by extensive 13C{1H} double resonance experiments, by recording of proton-coupled 13C and 13C{19F} spectra and by off-resonance 13C{1H} noise-decoupling. The results show a strong + M-effect of the fluorine substituents on 13C chemical shifts similar to the effects of OH and OCH3 groups. 1H NMR spectra of 1 and 2 could be partially assigned by decoupling of the 19F resonances and by iterative analysis.

From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.

Five series of a novel class of 4-acyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines have been synthesized and characterized: the 4-acetyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 1]; the 4-cyclohexylcarbonyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 2]; the 4-benzoyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 3]; the benzyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates [series 4]; and the t-butyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates [series 5]. The compounds were synthesized by diazotization of a primary aromatic amine and subsequent coupling to an appropriate secondary amine: 1-acetylpiperazine [series 1]; 1-(cyclohexylcarbonyl)-piperaizine [series 2]; 1-benzoylpiperazine [series 3]; benzyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate [series 4]; and t-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1-BOC-piperazine) [series 5]. The compounds of series 1–5 were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, high-resolution MS and IR spectroscopy. The model compounds 1,4-di[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines, and ethyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates were used to facilitate the assignment of the chemical shifts specific to the piperazine ring carbons. HSQC spectra of select compounds established the correlation between proton and carbon resonance signals.

The title compound, C14H10O5, was isolated from Senecio cannabifolius Less var. integrifolius aqueous extract. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, and the relative configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The benzofuran ring is almost coplanar with the furan ring [dihedral angle = 10.47 (15)°]. A chain is formed through supramolecular R 2 2(10) synthons and three-centre hydrogen bonds.

13C NMR chemical shifts were measured for sixteen N,N-dimethyl-3-(5-substituted-2-furyl)-acrylamides in CDCl3 at 21 °C; the barriers of rotation about the C-N bond ΔGc° were determined by using the 1H NMR coalescence method, and the positions of the IR bands of the ν(C=O) stretching vibrations were measured. The dual substituent parameters (DSP) analysis of the 13C NMR chemical shifts for atoms of the vinylcarboxamide side chain -C(3)H=C(2)H-C(1)=O(-N) gives evidence that the chemical shifts for the C-1 and C-3 atoms are controlled primarily by polar effects (δ(C-3) = -3.12σI - 1.03σR0; λ = ρI/ρR = 3.0), which exert a reverse substituent effect on these atoms. Similarly, the DSP analysis of the ΔGc° and ν(C=O) data shows that the dominant factor of the total substituent effect is the polar effect (λ = 1.95 and 1.70, respectively). A confrontation of the results of the DSP analysis with the CNDO/2 calculated electron densities at the corresponding atoms demonstrates that the reactivity of the entire vinylcarboxamide side chain can be well explained in terms of a combination of the polar effect (π-electron polarization) with resonance effects.

Variation of the conformational properties in a series of 4-R-thiazolidine-2-thiones (4-R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu, OH) and 5-R-thiazolidine-2-thiones (5-R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu) is deduced from 1H nmr (Karplus 3J, chemical shifts, 2J44′, 2J55′) 13C nmr data and CNDO-2 calculations. In the absence of any transannular interaction, vicinal constraints and van der Waals requirements of the substituents control the conformational equilibrium. The pseudo-axial arrangement is favoured when 4-R = Me, while the substituent presents no preferential orientation when 5-R = Me. As the size of the 5-alkyl and the 4-alkyl substituent increases, its pseudo-equatorial orientation and the predominance of the C4C5 out-of-plane half-chair conformation are favoured. This does not lead to conformational exclusivity even when 4-R or 5-R is tBu. When 4-R is hydroxy, there is a definite pseudo-axial conformation (anomeric effect) and the ring preference is of the C4 out-of-plane type.

Summary Guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GG) was used as a lignin model compound to study the liquefaction reaction mechanism of lignin in the presence of phenol under the catalysis of several typical acids such as sulfuric, phosphoric and oxalic acids. The reaction products were isolated by silicagel column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures of the obtained compounds were identified by means of GC-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC and HMQC. As a result, about 30 compounds were obtained as the main reaction products. It was found that their structural characteristics were significantly different from those yielded at the non-catalyzed liquefaction (Lin et al. 1997a), and independent on the acid species. The dominant products were guaiacylglycerol-α-phenyl-β-guaiacyl ethers, followed by guaiacol, triphenylethanes, diphenylmethanes, benzocyclobutanes and phenylcoumarans. The structural characteristics and yields of these main reaction products indicated that condensation between phenol and GG in its C-α and further cleavages in both the β-O-4 linkage and Cβ–Cγ bonding could be the dominant reaction pathways.

A bioassay-guided purification of the methanolic crude extract obtained from the roots of Chiococcaalba (L.) Hitchc. resulted in the isolation of a new, bioactive, metabolite identified as ent-17-hydroxy-16α-kauran-3-one (1). Elucidation of the new structure was based on analyses of the results obtained from various spectroscopic methods (IR, MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR) and chemical transformations. The stereochemistry at C16 was assigned by comparing both the proton and carbon chemical shifts of C17 with those reported in the literature. The new kaurane showed weak antimicrobial activity when tested against Staphylococcusaureus. Keywords: medicinal plants, Chiococcaalba, Rubiaceae, kaurane, diterpene, antimicrobial.

All methyl O-benzoyl-β-D-xylopyranosides have been prepared and their 1H and 13C NMR spectra measured in deuteriochloroform solutions. The 1H NMR spectra were analysed to the first order and assigned with the aid of homonuclear decoupling. The 13C chemical shifts were assigned through heteronuclear selective decouling experiments. Some of the 13C chemical shifts observed in di- and tri-O-benzoyl derivatives differ considerably from those calculated according to the direct additivity rule from the shifts in the mono derivatives. It is shown that the nonadditivity is due to a conformational heterogeneity of the series of investigated compounds dissolved in deuteriochloroform. The heterogeneity is evidenced by the vicinal 1H-1H coupling constants and by 13 chemical shifts of C(1) methoxyl carbon atoms.

A series containing thirteen title compounds were synthesized and recorded IR and NMR spectra. The infrared νNH, C=N(cm-1)stretches, 1H NMR δNH, 13C NMR δC=N(ppm) chemical shifts of synthesized oxazine amines were assigned and correlated with Hammett substituent constants, F and R parameters. From the results of statistical analyses, the effect of substituents on the above spectral frequencies can be discussed.
