Nucleation of crystals from solution is fundamental to many natural and industrial processes. In this work, the molecular mechanism of conformational polymorphism nucleation and the links between the molecular conformation in solutions and in crystals were investigated in detail by using 5-nitrofurazone as the model compound. Different polymorphs were prepared, and the conformations in solutions obtained by dissolving different polymorphs were analysed and compared. The solutions of 5-nitrofurazone were proven to contain multiple conformers through quantum chemical computation, Raman spectra analysis, 2D nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy spectra analysis and molecular dynamics simulation. The conformational evolution and desolvation path was illustrated according to the 1H NMR spectra of solutions with different concentrations. Finally, based on all the above analysis, the molecular conformational evolution path during nucleation of 5-nitrofurazone was illustrated. The results presented in this work shed a new light on the molecular mechanism of conformational polymorphism nucleation in solution.

The cycloaddition of (E)-1,2-bis(benzenesulfonyl)ethylene (2) to 2-acetoxy- and 2-silyloxy-1,3-cyclodienes occurs in high yields and with high steroselectivity. Structure assignment has been based largely on 1H nmr nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) experiments on the isolated products. The cycloadducts 4a and 4b derived from the 2-oxa substituted cyclopentadienes have been further elaborated to the parent norbornenone, to the respective unsaturated sulfones 5, and to the β-hydroxy substituted sulfone 6. The vinyl sulfones 5 have also been independently synthesized via cycloaddition of benzenesulfonyl acetylene. The sulfones obtained are potentially important starting molecules for the preparation of more complex targets.

Using a combination of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) high resolution nmr methods, the 1H nmr spectrum of brucine was fully assigned. The 2D J-resolved and homonuclear chemical shift correlated (COSY) experiments provided assignments without full structural information; this was obtained from nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) enhancement experiments (1D and 2D). With the proton spectrum fully assigned, proton-bearing carbons in the 13C nmr spectrum were easily assigned using the 2D heteronuclear chemical shift correlation map (CSCM) experiment.

Piperine (PP) is a pungent component in black pepper that possesses useful biological activities; however it is practically insoluble in water. The aim of the current study was to prepare a coground mixture (GM) of PP and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) (molar ratio of PP/βCD = 1/1) and subsequently evaluate the solubility of PP and physicochemical properties of the GM. DSC thermal behavior of the GM showed the absence of melting peak of piperine. PXRD profile of the GM exhibited halo pattern and no characteristic peaks due to PP and βCD were observed. Based on Job’s plot, the PP/βCD complex in solution had a stoichiometric ratio of 1/1. Raman spectrum of the GM revealed scattering peaks assigned for the benzene ring (C=C), the methylene groups (CH2), and ether groups (C-O-C) of PP that were broaden and shifted to lower frequencies. SEM micrographs showed that particles in the GM were agglomerated and had rough surface, unlike pure PP and pure βCD particles. At 15 min of dissolution testing, the amount dissolved of PP in the GM was dramatically increased (about 16 times) compared to that of pure PP. Moreover the interaction between PP and βCD cavity was detected by 1H-1H NMR nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy NMR spectroscopy.

The proton magnetic resonance (1H nmr) spectrum of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in CDCl3 at 400 MHz bas been completely analyzed utilizing homonuclear double resonance, inversion recovery, and nOe difference experiments. The nOe difference experiments are used to assign points of configuration, namely the H-10β and the H-10α proton resonances. A spectral analysis shows that the two protons at C-3 and the two protons at C-4 are nonequivalent, indicating a hindered rotation of the chain. This is possibly due to the hairpin conformation of PGE2 in solution.

Direct irradiation of the charge-transfer complex between the cyclopropenes 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (3) and 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene (7), and the electron deficient olefins dimethyl fumarate (5) and maleic anhydride (11) resulted in formation of the cycloadducts 6, 12–15 which are the bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane derivatives. These products were also formed when the reaction was photosensitized by triplet–triplet transfer. The structure of the adducts rests largely upon the interpretation of 13C and 1H nmr spectra. Nuclear Overhauser effect studies were used to assign stereochemistry. The thermal stability of these new bicyclo[2.1.0]-pentane derivatives has been examined, particularly with regard to the ring-flipping process and the rearrangement to the corresponding cyclopentene derivatives.

Abstract The (Z,Z,Z)-configuration of the mono-lactim-ether of an alkyl substituted bilatriene-abc, Etiobiliverdin-IV-γ, was established for chloroform solutions. Moreover the conformation of this molecule is a helical one (syn-syn-syn) with a twist along the single bonds at the methine groups of approximately 20°. The two tautomeric lactam-forms with a proton on one or the other nitrogen atom of the pyrromethene subsystem are indistin-guishable by the methods used in this investigation: 1H NMR pattern, Lanthanide induced shift technique and Nuclear Overhauser Effect measurements.
