The isomeric 5,6α- and 5,6β-epoxycholestanes, in addition to an analogous series of compounds substituted at C-3 with hydroxy (α or β stereochemistry) or ethylene ketal groups, have been treated with aluminum isopropoxide or tert-butoxide. The latter series of reactions did not give identifiable material, but aluminum isopropoxide gave products derived from epoxide opening and rearrangement in all cases. With epoxides unsubstituted at C-3, aluminum isopropoxide functioned as a Lewis acid in promoting epoxide rearrangements. In the presence of a C-3 alcohol function, additional products were obtained arising from fragmentation of the C-4,C-5 bond, or from β-elimination of the epoxide involving the loss of a C-7 hydrogen. Meerwein–Pondorff reduction of product carbonyl groups was also observed. C-3 ketal substituted epoxides were rearranged cleanly to 6-hydroxy-Δ4-3-ketones. Cyclohexene oxide reacted with aluminum isopropoxide (but not with tert-butoxide) to give two products arising from epoxide addition reactions. Structures for these products are proposed based on their 13C nmr spectra, and a possible route for their formation is presented. None of the epoxides examined in this study reacted with magnesium methoxide.

The structure of anhydrobetulin II and its derivatives I, III and IV has been solved using 1H and 13C NMR spectra, mass spectra and chemical transformations. It has been proven that in addition reactions the trisubstituted double bond is attacked selectively from the α-side under formation of D/E cis-annelated derivatives VIII, X and XI. The 22-oxo derivative XIII exhibits an anomalous Cotton effect and, in contrast to its saturated analogue XXVII,it is not epimerized in alkaline medium. Trinordiketone XXI easily epimerizes to a mixture in which the 17βH-epimer XXIb predominates, trinorketone XXIV is stable only if the annelation of rings D and E is trans. These differences are explained in terms of steric interactions of substituents in position 19. The steric course of reduction of ketones XIII and XXIV with sodium borohydride is described.

15N and 13C NMR spectra have been measured of the compounds type XC(=NOH)Y, where X, Y = COCH3, CN, COOR, CONHR, and X +Y = C6H4(CO)2. The (E)-(Z) isomerism at the C=NOH bond has been studied by means of 15N labelling and stereospecific behaviour of the 2J(15N, 13C) coupling constants. The nitrosation of methyl cyanoacetate gives specifically the respective (E)-oxime, whereas that of acetoacetanilide gives the (Z)-isomer. The nitrosation of ethyl acetoacetate gives both (E)- and (Z)-oximes in a ratio of ca 1:10; the (E)-isomer is less stable and is transformed into the (Z)-isomer. The applicability of the 1J(13C, 13C) coupling constants and lanthanoid shift reagents to the study of (E)-(Z) isomerism of oximes with geminal carbonyl groups has also been verified. The 15N NMR chemical shifts of the oximes studied correlate with their respective pKa values measured in dimethyl sulfoxide according to the equation pKa = -0.11δ15N + 13.44.

A series of (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4 complexes, (2-X-1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, X = H, Me, SiMe3, GeMe3, SnMe3, PbMe3, has been prepared and characterized, and both the complexes and the free ligands studied by 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopy. The energy barrier to ring inversion in (1,3-dithiane)Fe(CO)4, ΔG298†, is 14.7 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, some 4.4 kcal mol−1 higher than in free 1,3-dithiane.13C nmr spectra showed that within the Fe(CO)4 moiety, rapid averaging of carbonyl groups occurs down to at least −80 °C.

13C NMR spectra of 14 derivatives of 3-(X-benzal)phthalides (I) and 10 derivatives of 2-(X-benzal)-1,3-indanediones (II) were investigated. The correlation of 13C chemical shifts of carbon atoms of the phthalide ring with σ-constants showed that the electronic effect of substituents was transmitted from the benzylidene group of 3-(X-benzal)phthalides on the chemical shift of the carbonyl group not only through oxygen, but also through the aromatic ring of the phthalide moiety. The transmission of substituent effects in 2-(X-benzal)-1,3-indanediones on the chemical shift of the carbonyl groups was more pronounced on the carbonyl, which is in the trans-arrangement with respect to the aryl group. This phenomenon was also observed at carbon atoms of the benzene ring of the indanedione moiety closer to the trans-CO group.

Addition reactions of 2-chloronicotinoyl isothiocyanate with primary and secondary amines and subsequent cyclization of intermediate thioureas represent new synthesis of pyrido[3,2-e]thiouracil and pyrido[3,2-e]-thiazine derivatives. 2-Amino-4-oxopyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazines are formed upon heating the reaction components in ethanol, whereas 1-alkyl(aryl)pyrido[3,2-e]-2-thiouracils are products of alkali-catalyzed reaction. In reaction with primary amines the corresponding thioureas were isolated as intermediates, whereas secondary amines reacted directly to give the pyridothiazine derivatives. Structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by their 13C NMR and mass spectra; also the IR and 1H NMR spectra are in accord with the suggested formulae.

It was found that three crystalline forms of ethylene glycol dibenzoate can be prepared. Infrared and Raman spectra of these three forms, as well as of the glassy and liquid states, were measured. From 3JHH coupling constants obtained by analysis of the 13C satellite band of the -CH2- group in 1H NMR spectra, and from the 3JCH coupling constants of the -CO.O.CH2- fragment obtained by analysis of the carbonyl band in 13C NMR spectra it was found that in the liquid state the -CH2-CH2- group exists predominantly in the gauche conformational structure, and the bonds C-O-C-C assume predominantly a trans orientation. The results of the analysis of NMR and vibrational spectra were used for the structural interpretation of conformationally sensitive bands in vibrational spectra of ethylene glycol dibenzoate.

13C NMR spectra of 18 ferrocene analogues of trans stilbenes (1-aryl-2-ferrocenylethylenes) were measured. It was found that bridge group weakens the transfer of the substituent electron effects into ferrocene nucleus, especially distinctly into 3',4'positions of cyclopentadienyl ring. The transfer of substituent effects into β-position of the bridge -CH=CH- is greater in derivatives studied by us than in stilbenes. Synthesis of 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-ferrocenylethylene is described.

A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.

The 17O and 13C NMR spectra of eight geminal diacetates RCH(O(CO)CH3)2 derived from simple aldehydes have been measured. In contrast to the dicarboxylates R1R2E(O(CO)R3)2, where E = Si, Ge, or Sn, whose 17O NMR spectra only contain a single signal, and, on the other hand, in accordance with organic carboxylic esters, the 17O NMR spectra of the compound group studied always exhibit two well-resolved signals with the chemical shifts δ(17O) in the regions of 183-219 ppm and 369-381 ppm for the oxygen atoms in the groups C-O and C=O, respectively.

The 13C and 14N NMR spectra of 1M solutions of 1-(substituted phenyl)pyridinium salts (4-CH3, 4-OCH3, H, 4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-I, 3-NO2, 4-NO2, 2,4-(NO2)2 (the 13C NMR only)) have been measured in heavy water at 30 °C. The 13C and 14N chemical shifts, the 1J(CH) coupling constants, some 3J(CH) coupling constants, and values of half-widths Δ 1/2 of the 14N NMR signals are given. The 13C chemical shifts of C(4) correlate with the σ0 constants (δC(4) = (1.79 ± 0.097) σ0 + (147.67 ± 0.041)), whereas no correlation of the nitrogen chemical shifts with the σ constants has been found. The half-widths Δ 1/2 correlate with the σ0 constants (Δ 1/2 = (76.2 ± 4.9) σ0 + (106.4 ± 2.2)) except for 1-phenylpyridinium chloride.
