A previous study of the effect of meta- and para-CH2X substituents on the 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of the α and β side-chain carbons of β- methoxycarbonylstyrenes (methyl cinnamates ) in ethanol has been extended to cover five additional solvents (Me2SO, Me2CO, CDCl3, CCl4 and C6H6). The results support the earlier claim that, for most substituents , the magnitudes of the substituent -induced shifts are proportional to the inductive effect of X. The major contributor to the latter appears to be the field effect generated by the C-X dipole, with the lines of force passing mainly through the molecule. In non-polar solvents, however, there is evidence that lines of force passing directly through the solvent can also influence the shifts in both the meta and para series.

The paper deals with chemometric analysis of the inductive effect. The notion of inductive effect is discussed, and unambiguous definitions are given for the notions of triad: reaction centre-basic skeleton-substituent, and the therewith connected definitions of inductive effect. For a quantitative description of inductive effect 7 types of chemical models were selected including noncyclic compounds, cyclic, and bicyclic compounds, derivatives of quinuclidine, 3-substituted benzoic acids, sulfonamides and pyridines. Altogether 139 sets of experimental data from literature have been used including altogether 1 294 points (9.3 points per set, 5 points at least) reflecting substituent effects of 34 substituents. It has been found that for a standard model the dissociation of substituted bicycloalkanecarboxylic acids only is satisfactory, all the other models reflecting also the mesomeric effects to variable extent (up to 10%). A distinctly different substitution behaviour was observed with 19F and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 4-substituted 1-fluoro- or 1-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. The earlier suggested model of substituent effects based on different way of transmission of substituent effects (3 classes) has been used for separating the inductive and mesomeric effects: it is mathematically presented as a set of straight lines with the intersection point at the so-called isoeffect substituent constant. Using the modified method of conjugated deviations a chemometric scale has been created for the inductive effect which agrees very well with the conventional scales given in literature; the only differences were observed for F and CH=O substituents (which are overestimated and underestimated, respectively, in literature). In the context given the inductive effect appears as a fundamental quantity forming a basis for quantitative description of other effects transferred by electrons.

ABSTRACT Sixty-one strains of alkane-oxidizing bacteria were tested for their ability to oxidize N-(2-hexylamino-4-phenylimidazol-1-yl)-acetamide to imidazol-2-yl amino acids applicable for pharmaceutical purposes. After growth with n-alkane, 15 strains formed different imidazol-2-yl amino acids identified by chemical structure analysis (mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry). High yields of imidazol-2-yl amino acids were produced by the strains Gordonia rubropertincta SBUG 105, Gordonia terrae SBUG 253, Nocardia asteroides SBUG 175, Rhodococcus erythropolis SBUG 251, and Rhodococcus erythropolis SBUG 254. Biotransformation occurred via oxidation of the alkyl side chain and produced 1-acetylamino-4-phenylimidazol-2-yl-6-aminohexanoic acid and the butanoic acid derivative. In addition, the acetylamino group of these products and of the substrate was transformed to an amino group. The product pattern as well as the transformation pathway of N-(2-hexylamino-4-phenylimidazol-1-yl)-acetamide differed in the various strains used.

The differences in chemical shifts of olefinic carbons, Δδ(sp2), of pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial six-membered allylic alcohols were correlated with the Δδ(sp2) values of their parent olefins. The results obtained reflect configurationally dependent substituent effects, the magnitude of which could be used for the stereochemical assignment of the hydroxyl group in these compounds.

Carbon-13 chemical shifts have been measured of para-substituted 3-phenyl propanoic acid methyl esters. The substituent-induced 13C shifts of the side chain were related to Hammett substituent effects by the dual substituent parameter method. The transmission of substituent effects and the factors that influence 13C shifts are discussed
