Unambiguous Assignment

A detailed analysis of the high field (400 MHz) 1H nmr spectra of the basic antitumor antibiotics saframycin A and C in CDCl3, C6D6, and in aqueous DMSO solutions has been carried out. Selective double irradiation experiments permitted the unambiguous assignment of all the proton chemical shifts and coupling constants. Consideration of the magnitudes of the latter together with specific nOe experiments permits assignment of molecular geometry and average conformations in solution. Selective shifts occurring in DMSO–D2O solutions upon addition of CF3COOD identified the 12-N atom as the site of protonation which result bears directly on the acid promoted binding of these antibiotics to DNA templates as part of their cytotoxic action.

1H nmr, 1H,1H and 1H,13C COSY, and 2D J-resolved spectra of multiflorine (1) and 13α-hydroxymultiflorine (2) in CDCl3 were taken. Some erroneously determined chemical shifts in 1 were corrected and for the first time signals in 2 were assigned. Most of the coupling constants in 1 and 2 were established. A coupling constant of H7–H17β and chemical shifts for H17β, C14, and C8 were used to define the conformational equilibrium of boat or chair forms in the C rings, in 1 and 2 in solution. The results obtained confirm the previous findings based on chemical shifts of C12: ca. 75 and 70% of the "boat" conformer in 1 and 2, respectively, at room temperature. Of all the criteria used, the H7–H17β coupling constant seems to be least sensitive to the influence of substituents at rings A and D. From the Haasnoot equation, torsion angles of HCCH in regions of molecular geometry featuring low sensitivity to conformational changes were calculated. The hydroxyl group at position 13α has a slight influence on the geometry of ring D.

We describe the preparation of the six configurationally distinct cyclobutane-type photodimers generated by the acetone-sensitized uv irradiation of thymidine in aqueous solution. Also prepared as minor photoproducts are the 5R and 5S di-astereoisomers of 5,6-dihydrothymidine, and two novel molecules, the 5R and 5S diastereoisomers of 5-acetonyl-5,6-dihydrothymidine. The purification of the ten molecules by chromatographic techniques (hplc, tlc) is described, along with their extensive characterization by uv, ir, cd, FAB-ms and 1H nmr. The proton chemical shifts and coupling constants are discussed in terms of the geometry of the pyrimidine, cyclobutane, and sugar rings.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.

Proton Chemical Shifts

A comparison between calculated and observed values demonstrates that “ansätze” derived from an algebraic model in connection with appropriate boundary conditions are able to account for a quantitative description of the proton chemical shifts of allenes.Correlations of the proton chemical shifts with other NMR data, such as 13C-chemical shifts and one-bond carbon-proton coupling constants, reveal some insigths into the nature of the 1H substituent chemical shifts of alienes.

The 1H NMR spectra of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses and their triacetates, measured in hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide or deuteriochloroform, confirmed the existence of these compounds in 1C4(D) conformations, with the pyranose ring partly planarized in dependence on the configuration of the substituents in positions C(2), C(3) and C(4). The effects of the substituents on the chemical shifts and the adjusted relationship for the dependence of vicinal coupling constants on the torsion angle are discussed in detail from the point of view of the determination of the configuration and the conformation of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses and their derivatives. The 1H NMR spectra of triacetates were also measured in the presence of the lanthanide shift reagent, tris(1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyl-4,6-octanedione) europium (III) [Eu.(FOD)3].

Oxygen Reaction

The four diones derived from benzo[a]pyrene oxidation have been characterized by high-field nuclear magnetic resonance techniques including 2-D COSY and selective nuclear Overhauser enhancement. All the proton chemical shifts for these four quinones have been uneqivocally assigned. The direct photoxidation of benzo[a]pyrene gives a product distribution very similar to the TPP photosensitized oxygenation, suggesting singlet oxygen is involved in the former. A major product, which was characterized as the 6-seco derivative 6 and not previously reported, was detected in the singlet oxygen reaction. The presence of this product suggests a possible mechanism for quinone formation in the singlet oxygen reaction. One-electron oxidations of benzo[a]pyrene were carried out using tris(p-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate and quenching of the radical cation with superoxide or water. The product distribution in this case was quite different from that obtained in the direct photooxidation.
