The configuration of the sulfoxide oxygen in syn- and anti-thiobinupharidine sulfoxide was determined by employing the 13C nmr sulfoxidation increments of C-6. Establishment of the 13C nmr line assignments for C-6 included the study of the C-6 and C-6′ deuterated thiobinupharidine and the corresponding sulfoxides. Thermolysis of syn-thiobinupharidine sulfoxide in DMSO and subsequent reduction with sodium borodeuteride in methanol yielded thiobinupharidine, labelled with deuterium only at C-6, and thionuphlutine B, labelled with deuterium at both C-6 and C-6′. Treatment of the anti sulfoxide in xylene or DMSO resulted in no thiobinupharidine or thionuphlutine B. Similarly, syn-neothiobinupharidine sulfoxide gave neothiobinupharidine and a new thiaspirane, thionuphlutine C. These two compounds were not produced from anti-neothiobinupharidine sulfoxide heated in xylene.

The natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a number of spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids and related model compounds have been recorded. The carbon resonances of the alkaloids were assigned by comparison with the spectra of other isoquinoline alkaloids and with those of the model compounds. It has been shown that 13C nmr spectroscopy may be used to differentiate between diastereomers in this series.

The preferential protonation sites of the homo dimers deoxycytidylyl-(3′,5′)-deoxycytidine, thymidylyl-(3′,5′)-thymidine, and deoxyadenylyl-(3′,5′)-deoxyadenosine were established by nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 NMR in dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence of varying amounts of CF3COOH. The nitrogen-15 NMR data show that in d(CpC) the capability of the two N3 nitrogens to accept the proton is slightly different. In d(TpT) and d(ApA) the protonation of the phosphate group leads to significant variations of the chemical shift of the carbons adjacent to phosphorus. Keywords: deoxydinucleotides, protonation, 15N and 13C NMR.

The 13C nmr spectra of 35 bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and -octene derivatives have been determined to extend our examinations of the effects of stereochemistry on the shieldings of closely neighboring carbons. This series includes a variety of methyl substituted bicyclooctanols and -octenols as well as the corresponding hydrocarbons and some bicyclooctanones. With the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane skeleton it is possible to examine an array of systems having substituents separated by three and four bonds in a variety of orientations. The interactions, termed γ and δ effects, respectively, produce distinctive shielding variations which are useful for stereochemical elucidations. Particularly interesting are the pronounced shifts observed for the carbons bearing closely neighboring substituents. Characteristically, for vicinal substituents, these carbons are shielded while for syn-axial δ interactions, these carbons are deshielded by as much as 8.6 ppm. The results are compared with the trends found in other sterically crowded Systems.

Phencyclone, 1, a potent Diels-Alder diene, reacts with a series of N-alkylmaleimides, 2, to form hindered adducts, 3. The 300 MHz 1H and 75 MHz 13C NMR studies of these adducts at ambient temperatures have demonstrated slow rotations on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) timescales for the unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl groups, and have revealed substantial magnetic anisotropic shielding effects in the 1H spectra of the N-alkyl groups of the adducts. The selected N-alkyl groups for the target compounds emphasized smaller branched alkyls, including C3 (isopropyl, a); C4 (isobutyl, b; and t-butyl, c); C5 (n-pentyl, d; isopentyl [isoamyl], e; 1-ethylpropyl, f; t-amyl, g;) and a related C8 isomer (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl [“t-octyl”], h). The straight-chain n-pentyl analog was included as a reference. This present work on the branched N-alkylmaleimide adducts appreciably extends our earlier compilation on the N-n-alkylmaleimide adducts. Key methods for proton assignments included “high-resolution” 1H–1H chemical shift correlation spectroscopy, COSY45. 13C NMR of the adducts, 3, verified the expected number of aryl carbons for slow exchange limit (SEL) spectra of the bridgehead phenyl groups. The synthetic routes involved reaction of the corresponding amines, 4, with maleic anhydride to give the N-alkylmaleamic acids, 5, which underwent cyclodehydration to form the maleimides, 2. Magnetic anisotropic shielding magnitudes for alkyl group protons in the adducts were calculated relative to corresponding proton chemical shifts in the maleimides. Geometry optimizations for the above adducts (and for the N-n-butylmaleimide adduct) were performed at the Hartree-Fock level with the 6–31G* basis set. The existence of different contributing conformers for the adducts is discussed with respect to their calculated energies and implications regarding experimentally observed anisotropic shielding magnitudes.

ABSTRACT [1-13C]acenaphthene, a tracer compound with a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-active nucleus at the C-1 position, has been employed in conjunction with a standard broad-band-decoupled13C-NMR spectroscopy technique to study the biodegradation of acenaphthene by various bacterial cultures degrading aromatic hydrocarbons of creosote. Site-specific labeling at the benzylic position of acenaphthene allows 13C-NMR detection of chemical changes due to initial oxidations catalyzed by bacterial enzymes of aromatic hydrocarbon catabolism. Biodegradation of [1-13C]acenaphthene in the presence of naphthalene or creosote polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) was examined with an undefined mixed bacterial culture (established by enrichment on creosote PACs) and with isolates of individual naphthalene- and phenanthrene-degrading strains from this culture. From13C-NMR spectra of extractable materials obtained in time course biodegradation experiments under optimized conditions, a number of signals were assigned to accumulated products such as 1-acenaphthenol, 1-acenaphthenone, acenaphthene-1,2-diol and naphthalene 1,8-dicarboxylic acid, formed by benzylic oxidation of acenaphthene and subsequent reactions. Limited degradation of acenaphthene could be attributed to its oxidation by naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase or related dioxygenases, indicative of certain limitations of the undefined mixed culture with respect to acenaphthene catabolism. Coinoculation of the mixed culture with cells of acenaphthene-grown strain Pseudomonas sp. strain A2279 mitigated the accumulation of partial transformation products and resulted in more complete degradation of acenaphthene. This study demonstrates the value of the stable isotope labeling approach and its ability to reveal incomplete mineralization even when as little as 2 to 3% of the substrate is incompletely oxidized, yielding products of partial transformation. The approach outlined may prove useful in assessing bioremediation performance.

Abstract Rheumatic diseases are accompanied by a progradient diminution of the cartilage layer. Unfortunately, degradation mechanisms (role of different enzymes and reactive oxygen spe­cies) are not yet understood. Since nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was often used for the investigation of synovial fluids, the aim of the present work was to detect cartilage degradation products upon proteolytic digest of cartilage. Cartilage samples were incubated at 37 °C with phosphate buffer in the absence or pres­ence of different proteases (collagenase, trypsin and papain). Supernatants were subsequently assayed towards their content of carbohydrate and protein degradation products by NMR (1H-and 13C-) and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Intense resonances of relatively mobile N-acetyl side chains (ca. 2.01 ppm) of polysaccha­ rides of cartilage were only detectable on digestion with papain. The appearance of these resonances indicates intense degradation of the core protein of proteoglycan aggregate of cartilage, whereby polysaccharides are released. Additionally, broad resonances at 0.85 ppm arising from collagen degradation products were observed upon the action of all applied proteases. However, glycine as a m arker of exhaustive collagen degradation was only ob­ served, if cartilage was digested by collagenase. Using more vigorous incubation conditions, additionally high-abundant amino acids of collagen (proline, hydroxyproline) could be de­ tected in the 13C-NMR-and the MALDI spectra. The observed differences are correlated with the different selectivities of the applied enzymes. It is concluded that NMR allows the detection of characteristic protein and polysaccharide degradation products. The observed differences may be of some relevance for the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases.

13C nmr chemical shifts for ethylene sulfite and 17 derivatives are presented. From the magnitudes of the γ shifts and the tenets of conformational analysis, support is gained for the existence of twist-envelope conformations in solution. Pseudorotational paths are suggested which do not involve inversion at the sulfur atom.

The natural abundance carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some C19-diterpenoid alkaloids and their alkamines (lappaconitine, lappaconine, lapaconidine, ranaconine, 14-dehydrobrowniine, aconine, pseudoaconine, deoxyaconine, and hypaconine) have been determined at 15.03 MHz. With the aid of proton decoupling techniques, additivity relationships, and comparison with spectra of related alkaloids, self-consistent and unambiguous assignments of nearly all carbon resonances for these alkaloids have been made. Some important chemical shift trends have been observed, which are useful for identifying the basic C19-diterpenoid alkaloid skeleton and the hydroxy and methoxy group substitution patterns in these alkaloids. On the basis of 13C nmr spectra of lappaconitine and lappaconine, the anthranoyl ester moiety is assigned to the C-4 position in lappaconitine. The 13C nmr spectra of lapaconidine, aconine, and pseudoaconine taken in pyridine and chloroform have been compared to determine the conformational changes of the ring A hydroxy groups in these alkaloids.

ABSTRACT Formation of methanethiol from methionine is widely believed to play a significant role in development of cheddar cheese flavor. However, the catabolism of methionine by cheese-related microorganisms has not been well characterized. Two independent methionine catabolic pathways are believed to be present in lactococci, one initiated by a lyase and the other initiated by an aminotransferase. To differentiate between these two pathways and to determine the possible distribution between the pathways, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) performed with uniformly enriched [13C]methionine was utilized. The catabolism of methionine by whole cells and cell extracts of five strains of Lactococcus lactis was examined. Only the aminotransferase-initiated pathway was observed. The intermediate and major end products were determined to be 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyric acid and 2-hydroxyl-4-methylthiobutyric acid, respectively. Production of methanethiol was not observed in any of the 13C NMR studies. Gas chromatography was utilized to determine if the products of methionine catabolism in the aminotransferase pathway were precursors of methanethiol. The results suggest that the direct precursor of methanethiol is 4-methylthiol-2-oxobutyric acid. These results support the conclusion that an aminotransferase initiates the catabolism of methionine to methanethiol in lactococci.
