All possible mono-, di-, and tri- O-methyl, O-benzyl, O-benzoyl, and O-acetyl derivatives of methyl β-D-xylopyranoside were fully trimethylsilylated and their 1H and 13C NMR spectra measured in deuteriochloroform solutions. The spectra were analysed and the chemical shifts completely assigned on the basis of decoupling experiments. The proton-proton coupling constants vary only very little throughout the series. Conformer population analysis by the method of average coupling constants shows that trimethylsilylation increases the C1 conformer population and makes the series conformationally homogenous. Owing to this conformational homogeneity chemical shifts (both 1H and 13C) satisfy very well direct additivity rule. It is suggested that pertrimethylsilylation should be employed whenever deviations from chemical shift additivity are caused by conformational mobility of the investigated series of compounds and when bulky groups can stabilize one of the conformers.

Abstract A series of alkyl-arylsubstituted N-methyl phosphinothioformamides, R(Ph)PC(S)NHMe (2 a-g), with varying bulkiness of the alkyl rest was synthesized from the racemic secondary phosphines 1a-g and methyl isothiocyanate. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2a−g reveal signal sets of diastereotopic nuclei due to the asymmetry of the molecule. The chemical shift and coupling constants were confirmed by simulation in case of 2b, c. The vicinal 31P−13C couplings of the menthyl and neomenthyl compounds 2f, g show an "anti-Karplus" behaviour (3J(gauche) > 3J(trans)) and allow the conformational assignment of the alicyclic group. The 31P chemical shifts of 2a−d give a linear correlation with the cone angle of the alkyl substituents quoted from literature.

The 13C nmr spectra of oxazole and eight mono- and disubstituted derivatives have been analyzed with regard to the chemical shifts and the various carbon–proton coupling constants of the ring carbons. The data of the parent oxazole are compared with thiazole and 1-methylimidazole.

An equation which relates the ortho carbon-13 substituent chemical shift α-SCS in aza-aromatics to the ortho proton-proton coupling constant 3J(HH) in the corresponding carbocyclic compound is derived from experimental data. The implications for N-N bond fixation in diaza-aromatics are discussed. When the equation is applied to 2-substituted pyridines, an electronegativity parameter must be included to explain the results.

1H NMR spectra and electric dipole moments of a series of propene derivatives, (CH3)3-nCln.CCH=CH2 (n = 0-3), were measured and the spectra analyzed. Discrepancies in literature data on compounds with n = 0 and 3 are probably due to systematic spectrometer errors. Vinylic proton chemical shifts are found to vary linearly with n in the direction expected on the electronegativity ground (the variations with n occurs in the order HA > HB ≥ HC). Calculations show that even with the extreme reported values of C-C and C-Cl bond magnetic anisotropies, the shift variations with n cannot be accounted for by magnetic anisotropy effects of a freely rotating (CH3)3-nClnC group. Similar calculations rule out electric field effects as the dominant factor. On the other hand, the electron charge distribution, as obtained from CNDO/2 calculations, including d-orbitals and employing Del Bene-Jaffé parametrization, is linearly related to the vinylic proton shifts. This finding supports the earlier interpretation of NMR spectra of vinylsilanes in terms of back-bonding. The vinyl proton-proton coupling constants decrease with increasing n, the changes being larger in the constants which couple proton A (cis) to the other two.

The corresponding acetylated and free 2-O- and 4-O-glucosyl derivatives of dianhydrohexoses Ib - VIIb and Ic - VIIc have been obtained by the reactions of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (IX) with 1,6:3,4- and 1,6:2,3-dianhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses (Ia - VIIa). Structure of the products and the effects of glycosylation upon chemical shifts and conformations of the disaccharides prepared have been studied using 1H and 13C NMR spectra.

13C NMR spectra of 14 derivatives of 3-(X-benzal)phthalides (I) and 10 derivatives of 2-(X-benzal)-1,3-indanediones (II) were investigated. The correlation of 13C chemical shifts of carbon atoms of the phthalide ring with σ-constants showed that the electronic effect of substituents was transmitted from the benzylidene group of 3-(X-benzal)phthalides on the chemical shift of the carbonyl group not only through oxygen, but also through the aromatic ring of the phthalide moiety. The transmission of substituent effects in 2-(X-benzal)-1,3-indanediones on the chemical shift of the carbonyl groups was more pronounced on the carbonyl, which is in the trans-arrangement with respect to the aryl group. This phenomenon was also observed at carbon atoms of the benzene ring of the indanedione moiety closer to the trans-CO group.

AbstractThe high frequency 1H and 13C NMR spectra (at 500 and 75.47 MHz, respectively) of N-allyl- N-normetazocine (NAM) hydrochloride in 2H2O solution were run and fully analyzed with the aid of both homonuclear 1H -1H and heteronuclear 13C - 1H chemical shift correlation experiments. Selective broadening of the signals of the protons in 3-, 4-, 8-, 9-, 12-positions was observed at temperatures <350 K. This was found to be consistent with an inversion process occurring between the N-equatorial and N-axial configurational isomers of NAM whose rate of exchange is of the same order of magnitude of the chemical shifts differences at 500 MHz. The increase of temperature at 350 K is thus adequate to make “fast” the process in the NM R time scale and then to resolve the spectral portions. The experimental proton-proton coupling constants were found to be consistent with a slightly distorted chair conformation of the piperidinic ring in NAM hydrochloride. The 13C NMR spectrum showed the distinct spectra of the two conformers, which are present in the ratio of ca. 80 (N-equatorial) : 20 (N -axial). The field frequency employed for the experiment was therefore sufficient to make “slow” the exchange process between the two isomeric forms, whose resonance peaks could be isolated in the non-acidified solution.

Abstract The 4,6-dibromo-and 5,7-dibromo-derivatives of 1-β-ᴅ-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole, and the 4,6-dibromo-derivative of 1-α-ᴅ-arabinofuranosylbenzimidazole, have been synthesized by condensation of the trimethylsilylated derivative of 4,6-dibromobenzimidazole with the appro­priate protected sugar in the presence of SnCl4. Application of the fusion method led to the β-ribofuranoside of 2-methyl-5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole. Two additional analogues of the biologi­cally active ribofuranoside of 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole, viz. the 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene and the 5′-chloro-5′-deoxy derivatives have been synthesized. Analyses of the 1H NMR spectra of the foregoing, and of previously synthesized 5(6)-mono-halogeno and 5,6-dihalogeno derivatives, were employed to determine solution conformations of these nucleosides. Conformations of the sugar rings and exocyclic groups were evaluated from vicinal proton-proton coupling constants, as for purine nucleosides. The conformation of the benzimidazole ring about the glycosidic bond was determined from the chemical shifts of the sugar protons, principally H(2′), with the aid of model analogues in fixed syn and anti conforma­tions; and, independently, from the chemical shifts of the benzimidazole ring protons, principally H(4) and H(7). The halogenated benzimidazole ribofuranosides exhibit conformations of the sugar ring similar to those for purine β-nucleosides, but differ from the latter in their preference for the conformation syn about the glycosidic bond.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the cardenolide ouabain and its aglycon ouabagenin have been completely assigned by two-dimensional NMR techniques, including phase-sensitive COSY and carbon–proton correlation (HETCOR, HMQC, and COLOC) spectra. The major conformer of these two compounds in solution is all-chair as determined from proton–proton coupling constants and is similar to that in the crystal lattice as previously determined by X-ray diffraction. The conformations of the A and D rings of ouabain in water are somewhat different than in DMSO/CDCl3 (2:1). At lower temperatures (−20 °C) signals from two conformers in slow exchange were readily observed in the 13C spectra, with an approximate ratio of 1:7. Molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations indicate that the conformational process responsible for this involves a chair/twist-boat interconversion of the A ring, with the all-chair conformer highly preferred. Keywords: ouabain, conformational analysis, 2-D NMR, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics.
