Polystyrenes with 4-methoxyphenol end groups have been prepared by the cationic polymerization of styrene in the presence of the phenol. The products range from 1:1 adduct to polymer of number-average molecular weight close to 3000. The 1:1 adduct separated from the reaction mixture was shown by nuclear Overhauser effect studies to be 2-(1-methylbenzyl)-4-methoxyphenol. Only about half of the polymer molecules have 4-methoxyphenol end groups. 13C nmr studies indicate that the polystyrene chains are attached principally at the 2-position of the phenol. The activity of the polymer as an antioxidant is comparable to that of corresponding low molecular weight methoxyphenols including butylated hydroxyanisole.

The proton has been the nucleus of choice for NMR studies of macromolecules because it is ubiquitous; it provides the highest sensitivity; its resonances can be identified with types of amino and nucleic acids by means of experiments utilizing proton spin-spin interaction and chemical shift; and, most important, proton NMR yields distance information via the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE). Many of these advantages are lost for larger biopolymers (molecular weight more than 15 kDa) for which the line width is considerably greater than the proton-proton spin-spin interaction. The spin-spin interaction is then useless or difficult to use for assignment; and furthermore the proton line width and the number of proton resonances both increase in proportion to the molecular weight, thereby increasing the problem of resonance overlap to an intolerable degree.

The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.

AbstractA new iridoid glycoside, namely, cymdahoside A (1), together with two known ones, 2 and 3, were isolated from the EtOAc extract of Cymbaria dahurica. The structure elucidation of 1 was carried out by one-dimensional (1D) NMR (1H and 13C NMR) and 2D NMR (correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) spectral analyses.

1H NMR studies in dimethyl sulfoxide illustrate that the tyrosine hydroxyl proton and the histidine imidazole NH proton in [Sar1]ANGII and analogues are labile at neutral pH but not at acid pH. This is attributable to intramolecular interactions of these groups with negatively charged groups. Methylation or elimination of the Tyr hydroxyl in [Sar1]ANGII and analogues, invokes a small but consistent deshielding effect on the His C-2 and C-4 protons, suggesting an interaction between the Tyr hydroxyl and the His ring. Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) enhancement experiments in {Sar1]ANGII and the Sarmesin analogue [Des1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII, support the Tyr/His interaction and confirm the presence of a trans His-Pro peptide bond.

AbstractPorphyrins are of interest in many applications that involve electron transfer and absorption of light, such as solar energy and photodynamic cancer therapy. The newly synthesized 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dibenzyloxyphenyl)porphyrin, TDBOPP, was characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF/TOF high resolution mass spectrometry. Standard 1H NMR and 13C NMR experiments coupled with nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments confirmed the structure of the compound. The expected M+ and [M+H]+ ions are observed in the MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrum. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of TDBOPP shows a Soret band at 424 nm and three Q bands at 519 nm, 556 nm, and 650 nm with molar absorptivity 3.6×105 cm−1m−1, 1.6×104 cm−1m−1, 1.0×104 cm−1m−1 and 5.3×103 cm−1m−1, respectively. Excitation at 424 nm gives emission at 650 nm. The quantum yield of the porphyrin is 0.11.
