The conformation of [Sar1]angiotensin II in water at neutral pH has been examined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 400 MHz and in particular by comparing its 1H NMR spectral data with those of analogues modified at positions 1,4 and 6, namely [Sar1,Cha8]ANGII, [Des Asp1,Cha8]ANGII, [Aib1,Tyr(Me)4]ANGII, [Aib1,Tyr(Me)4,Ile8]ANGII, [N-MeAib1,Tyr(Me)4]ANGII, [N-MeAib1,Tyr(Me)4,Ile8]ANGII, ANGIII and [Sar1,Ile8]ANGII. Assignment of all proton resonances in these analogues was made possible by 2D COSY NMR experiments. The H-2 and H-4 protons for the histidine ring in [Sar1]ANGII, ANGII and ANGIII were shielded compared with the same protons in [Sar1,Ile8]ANGII, [Sar1,Cha8]ANGII and [Des Asp1,Cha8]ANGII; this shielding effect was not disturbed upon methylation of the tyrosine hydroxyl and/or replacement of residue 1 (sarcosine or aspartic acid) with aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) or N-methyl aminoisobutyric acid (N-MeAib). These data are consistent with our previous suggestion based on NMR studies in neutral DMSO that a characteristic folded conformation for ANGII previously observed in non-polar solvents can also be detected in water at neutral pH, but to a lesser degree.

N,O-Carboxymethyl chitosans were synthesized by the reaction between shrimp, crab and squid chitosans with monochloroacetic acid under basic conditions at 50°C. The mole ratio of reactants was obtained from various reaction conditions of shrimp chitosan polymer and oligomer types. The mole ratio 1:12:6 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid was used for preparing carboxymethyl of chitosan polymer types while carboxymethyl of chitosan oligomer types were used the mole ratio 1:6:3 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid. The chemical structure was analyzed by fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnatic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The FT-IR was used for confirm the insertion of carboxymethyl group on chitosan molecules. The 1H-NMR was used for determining the degree of substitution (DS) of carboxymethylation at hydroxyl and amino sites of chitosans. Carboxymethyl chitosan samples had the total DS of carboxymethylation ranging from 1.0-2.2. The highest of DS of carboxymethylation was from shrimp chitosan oligomer type.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.

Tetra(2,4,6 triisopropropyl phenyl)porphyrinatorhodium(II) ((TTiPP)RhII·1) is a persistent metal-centered radical with the odd electron in the rhodium(II) dz2 orbital. (TTiPP)RhII· forms 1:1 complexes with CO and CH2CH2 where the porphyrin ligand steric properties inhibit further reactions of the one-electron activated substrates. 1H NMR paramagnetic shifts at a series of temperatures are used in evaluating the thermodynamics for CO complex formation with 1 to form [(TTiPP)RhII(CO)]·2 (ΔH° = -5.5 ± 0.5 kcal mol-1; ΔS° = -9 ± 1 cal K-1 mol-1). Related 1H NMR studies show that the bonding of 1 with ethene is less favorable than CO.Key words: rhodium porphyrin, carbon monoxide, ethene, thermodynamics, complex formation, metal-centered radical.

A series of novel alkyl or aryiimidovanadium(IV) 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-tolyl)porphyrinates, VNR(TTP) (4a-4g), is described. They are obtained from the vanadyl complex, VO(TTP) (2a) via the reactive intermediate VCl2(TTP) (3b) which undergoes aminolysis with the respective primary amines RNH2 (R = tBu, Ph, pTol, pClPh, pAnis, pBiph, ptBuPh)**. The formulae are proved by elemental analyses and mass spectra. The paramagnetic complexes are stable to water and may thus be purified by chromatography but are hydrolyzed to give 2 a on treatment with acetic acid. The UV/VIS and 1H NMR spectra of 4a-4g are of the same type as 2a, but the former are slightly hypsochromically shifted, and the latter do not show the proton resonances of the organylimide ligands due to the proximity of the paramagnetic metal center.

Methyl 11R- and 11S-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,12E,14Z-tetraenoate (17R, 17S) (11-HETE) and the corresponding 11-hydroperoxide 19 (11-HPETE) have been prepared from readily available starting materials. The yields were approximately 25% for 11R,S-HETE, and 5% each for 11R- and 11S-HETE.Extensive 400 MHz 1H nmr studies of 17 (nOe difference, 2D J-resolved) were undertaken to confirm the structure. Some conformational properties are discussed.

Maillard reaction is a nonenzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and free amino acid moieties, which is known as one of the most important modifications in food science. It is essential to characterize the structure of Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs) formed in the early stage of Maillard reaction. In the present study, the Nα-acetyl-lysine-glucose model had been successfully set up to produce ARP, Nα-acetyl-lysine-glucose. After HPLC purification, ARP had been identified by ESI-MS with intense [M+H]+ ion at 351 m/z and the purity of ARP was confirmed to be over 90% by the relative intensity of [M+H]+ ion. Further structural characterization of the ARP was accomplished by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, including 1D 1H NMR and 13C NMR, the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT-135) and 2D 1H-1H and 13C-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY) and 2D nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY). The complexity of 1D 1H NMR and 13C NMR was observed due to the presence of isomers in glucose moiety of ARP. However, DEPT-135 and 2D NMR techniques provided more structural information to assign the 1H and 13C resonances of ARP. 2D NOESY had successfully confirmed the glycosylated site between 10-N in Nα-acetyl-lysine and 7′-C in glucose.

Different molecular weight of block coupling agents with well-defined structures have been synthesized successfully by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from styrene (St), butyl methacrylate (BMA) and 3-methoxyacryloyl-propyltrimethoxyl silicon (KH-570) are as monomer. The structures and compositions of macromolecular coupling agents have been characterized by means of infrared spectrum (FT-IR), ultraviolet spectrum (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). And their effects on the polystyrene/silica (PS/SiO2) composite materials have been studied. The results show that interface compatibility and mechanical properties of composite materials containing macromolecule coupling agents are improved significantly. The composite materials with block macromolecular coupling agents possess more excellent comprehensive performance. Furthermore, the impact strength increased by 110% when comparing with composite materials which are not modified by the coupling agents.
