Spectral data for N-methyl-2-nitroaniline correlate well with those for N,N-dimethyl-2-nitroaniline in non-hydrogen-bonding, hydrogen-bond-accepting and amphiprotic alcoholic solvents. This same pattern has been reported for N-methyl-2-nitro-p-toluidine. These results indicate that these N-methyl compounds have no hydrogen bonds with any of the solvents studied and intramolecular hydrogen bonding predominates. In the N.M.R. spectra of such amines, long-range coupling between the H5 (ring) and N-H protons is not necessarily evidence for intramolecular hydrogen bonding.� +M substituents at the 4-position increase the twist of the dimethylamino and 2-nitro groups and enhance the C1 → C2 transition, an effect which follows the order of +M abilities of the 4-substituents.

N.m.r. chemical shifts of ring protons and absorption spectra of 4-substituted 2-nitroaniline deriva- tives were investigated. It was ascertained that the rotations of dimethylamino and/or 2-nitro groups are influenced by the resonance interaction of the dimethylamino group with 4-substituents and the C1 → C2 absorption band is displaced bathochromically by resonance saturation with 4-substituents. The long-range coupling of NH with H5 in N-methyl-2-nitro-p-toluidine was found to be absent and it is considered that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of amino hydrogen with the 2-nitro group is ruptured by ROH and polar solvents.

The N-H protons of N-methyl-2-X-aniline derivatives remain intramolecularly hydrogen bonded in HBA (hydrogen bond acceptor) solvents where X = COOMe and NO2, but form intermolecular hydrogen bonds to the HBA solvents where X = CN. The order of response of vmax to solvent HBA basicity for the Cl → C2 bands of N-unsubstituted-2-(-M)-substituted aniline derivatives and the Cl → C4 bands of 4-(-M)-substituted aniline derivatives follows the orders of the hydrogen bond donor acidities of the amine protons, which are determined primarily by the mesomeric effects of the 2- and 4-substituents. The spectral data indicate that intramolecularly hydrogen bonded 2-(-M)-substituted aniline derivatives are near sp2 hybridized in non-HBA solvents and, unlike several 4-substitute anilines, do not undergo significant rehybridization in HBA solvents. Bath ochromic shifts resulting from hydrogen bonds by corresponding 2- and 4-substituted aniline derivatives to HBA solvents are of similar magnitudes.

A 1 TS J F,H(O) coupling pathway, dictated by a hydrogen bond, in some 2-fluorobenzoic acids has been observed, while such an interaction does not occur in 2-fluorophenol. Thus, this work reports the conformational analysis of 2-fluorophenylboronic acid (1), in order to evaluate a possible intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in comparison to an nF→pB interaction, which mimics the quantum nF→σ*OH hydrogen bond that would be expected in 2-fluorophenol. 2-Fluorophenylborane (3), which does not experience hydrogen bonding, was used to verify whether nF→pB interaction governs the conformational equilibrium in 1 due to a predominant OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond or to other effects. A series of 2-X-phenylboranes (X = Cl, Br, NH2, PH2, OH and SH) were further computationally analyzed to search for electron donors to boron, capable of influencing the conformational equilibrium. Overall, the intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in 1 is quite stabilizing and dictates the 1 h J F,H(O) coupling constant. Moreover, electron donation to the empty p orbital of boron (for noncoplanar BH2 moiety relative to the phenyl ring) is also significantly stabilizing for the NH2 and PH2 derivatives, but not enough to make the corresponding conformers appreciably populated, because of steric effects and the loss of πCC→pB resonance. Thus, the results found earlier for 2-fluorophenol about the lack of intramolecular hydrogen bonding are now corroborated.

Certain ortho-substituted acetanilides exhibit proton magnetic resonance signals at unusually low field for the amido proton and the aromatic proton adjacent to the acetamido group. This effect, explicable in terms of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, has been observed for nitro, carbonyl, sulfamoyl, and sulfonyl substituents. Solvent effects are discussed.

The ultraviolet spectra of a number of 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamines suggest that these compounds are generally non-planar in a number of different solvents. The infrared and ultraviolet spectral data in different solvents also suggest that an intramolecular hydrogen bond is present in these molecules, at least in inert solvents. There is evidence that a p-nitro substituent is necessary to increase the positive charge on the amino group sufficiently to permit it to form this fairly strong type of hydrogen bond.

A series of diphytanylglycerol phospholipids, i.e., diphytanylglycerol phosphate (PA), diphytanylglycerol phosphoglycerophosphate (PGP), the tri- and tetra-methyl derivatives of PGP, and the 2-deoxyglycerol analogue of PGP (dPGP) were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The use of the "deoxy" and methylated analogues of PGP, as well as that of PA and PGP of varying degrees of ionization, allowed the assignment of characteristic infrared bands associated with the phosphate groups. Analysis of these phosphate bands showed that at neutral pH, each of the two phosphate moieties in PGP is singly ionized, whereas in dPGP the phosphomonoester is doubly ionized. This is a consequence of the marked increase in the pK of one of the P-OH groups on the terminal phosphate of PGP (pK > 11), owing to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the head group glycerol hydroxyl and the phosphate groups of PGP. Such an intramolecular hydrogen bond can not be formed by the dPGP analogue, and thus both negative charges in dPGP are located at the terminal phosphomonoester group. The O=P—OH groups of PGP also forms a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the exact nature of which depends on concentration and degree of ionization. The possibility of a complex network of hydrogen bonds within (intramolecular) and between (intermolecular) anionic membrane lipids such as that found in PGP, is consistent with the hypothesis that these lipids function as proton-conducting pathways in membranes.Key words: phospholipids, infrared, hydrogen bonding, phosphatidylglycerophosphate, 2-deoxyphosphatidylglycerophosphate.
