High field, 13C nmr has been utilized for the analysis of new conformational equilibria in each of the title crown ethers at low temperature. Evidence indicates that these equilibria arise from restricted rotation in the macrocyclic portions of these molecules. The conformational free energy differences between the isomers are small (0.1–0.3 kcal/mol) while barriers to their interconversion are of the order of 8.5–9.0 kcal/mol. Comparisons are made with the degenerate equilibria involving inversion of the cyclohexane rings.

By the low temperature nuclear magnetic resonance integration method the standard free energy difference between the diequatorial and the diaxial forms of 1-H,4-H-trans-1,4-di(trifluoroacetoxy)-cyclohexane-d8 was found to be 77 ± 5 cal/mole. The conformational free energy (−ΔG0) of the trifluoroacetoxy group in the monosubstituted cyclohexane was 485 ± 4 cal/mole at the same temperature. The non-additivity of the −ΔG0 values is discussed in terms of transannular electrostatic interaction.

Low temperature 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been employed to obtain the chemical shifts and to examine the conformational equilibria of the four chlorohydrins and bromohydrins of 3-methoxycyclohexene. The corresponding acetates and the unsubstituted halohydrins have also been examined. The observed chemical shifts were compared with those calculated from additivity considerations. Limitations of this approach are discussed. Relative peak area measurements have been used to obtain conformational free energies in favourable cases.

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.

13C-nmr spectra of carbon dioxide in water are reported for a wide range in pH. Chemical shifts were determined for the following species: CO2(g), CO2(aq), HCO3−(aq), CO32−(aq). A linear relationship was found between the shift of the 13C line and the fraction of carbonate ion calculated to be present, as well as between the ratio of the area under the 1067 cm−1 (carbonate) Raman peak to the sum of the area under the 1067 cm−1 and 1017 cm−1 (bicarbonate) peaks and the fraction carbonate.
