A semiempirical approach for predicting 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of acyclic hydrocarbons has been adapted to a microcomputer program. A series of methyl and dimethyl substituted cholesterols has been studied using this program, and the predicted shifts are in agreement with literature reports. Preferred conformations of the steroidal side chains have been also predicted and agree with previous studies. A simple rule for analyzing the trends in the chemical shift of the carbon C-20, which is sensitive to changes in the configuration at C-22, is also given, not only for hydrocarbon side chains but also for hydroxy substituted compounds.

The differences in chemical shifts of olefinic carbons, Δδ(sp2), of pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial six-membered allylic alcohols were correlated with the Δδ(sp2) values of their parent olefins. The results obtained reflect configurationally dependent substituent effects, the magnitude of which could be used for the stereochemical assignment of the hydroxyl group in these compounds.

Complete carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance assignments have been made for 22 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones. These compounds are alternate substrate inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase, a serine protease involved in tissue degradation. Correlations between the carbon chemical shifts and rates of alkaline hydrolysis are consistent with hydrolysis via attack at C4, and are also useful in the selection of parameters for structure–activity analysis.

The 15N and 13C chemical shifts of the sodium salt of deoxycytidylyl-(3′,5′)-guanosine have been measured in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of variable amounts of CF3COOH. N3(cyt) is protonated first, followed by N7(gua) and the phosphate anion. These results vary from those reported for the binding of the methylmercuric cation to d(CpG).

The 13C n.m.r. spectrum of acetoxime has been obtained in five representative solvents and the chemical shifts of the three carbon atoms measured. The solvent effects on the chemical shifts are found to reflect specific solute–solvent interactions. The effect of deuteration of the α-protons on the chemical shift of the oximino carbon is also discussed.

The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 17 3,6-disubstituted pyridazine derivatives have been systematically analyzed. Chemical shifts and various 13C, 1H coupling constants are reported. Attempts were made to correlate these data with results obtained from semiempirical molecular orbital calculations as well as with substituent electronegativities and Taft's substituent constants σI and σR0. Key words: 3,6-disubstituted pyridazines, 13C NMR spectroscopy, 13C, 1H spin coupling constants.
