The 1Hmr spectra of 20 catechin derivatives substituted at C-6/C-8 by bromine and/or hydrogen and at oxygen by methyl, acetyl, and/or hydrogen have been analyzed in deuterated acetone, acetonitrile, and chloroform. Because of its dependence on the nature of the solvent and of the oxygen substituent, the difference between H-6 and H-8 chemical shifts has been found to be an unreliable criterion for the distinction between 8-bromo and 6-bromo isomers. In methylated catechins, double irradiation of H-8 and H-6 enhances one (MeO-7) and two (MeO-5 and MeO-7) methoxy signals, respectively, via the nuclear Overhauser effect. This permits unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts to all ring A protons. The H-6 and H-8 resonance frequencies of catechin have been determined by decoupling of the OH-5 and OH-7 protons.

High-field nuclear Overhauser effect difference measurements allowed the assignment of the proton resonances for (6S)-prostaglandin I1 in phosphate buffer solutions. The two-dimensional J proton magnetic resonance experiments complemented these studies, as they also allowed the structure of several multiplets to be obtained when these multiplets are hidden by nearby resonances in a normal spectrum. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are compared with the data obtained previously for (6R)-prostaglandin I1.

A tricyclic diene, traversiadiene, isolated from cultures of Cercosporatraversiana has been shown to have the structure and stereochemistry of the previously postulated hydrocarbon intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway to traversianal (1). Detailed:1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra, led to the gross structure, and the stereochemistry was established through a series of nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra. Keywords: diterpene, traversiadiene, 1H and 13C magnetic resonance spectra.

Proton magnetic resonance studies at 400 MHz allowed the complete assignment of the spectra for (6R)-prostaglandin I1 in phosphate buffer and in CDCl3 solutions. The spectral analysis was based on the nuclear Overhauser effect difference measurements, which also provide accurate chemical shifts and coupling constants. Conformational differences in the two solvents for the ring portion of the molecule are indicated.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra at 220 MHz of alanine transfer RNA do not permit assignments of individual peaks due to each of the common bases; only a peak attributable to protons at position eight in adenine can be assigned with certainty. Measurements of the relative areas of proton magnetic resonance peaks due to the base and ribose-1′ protons indicate that the ribose moieties of tRNA are not involved in bonds stronger than those experienced by the bases. Proton magnetic resonance peaks attributable to the methyl and dihydro protons of the rare bases can be distinguished in the 220 MHz spectra; the variation of their line widths and chemical shifts with increasing temperature indicates that the rare bases are located in regions of the alanine transfer RNA molecule which are more highly organized than indicated by an open cloverleaf model.
