1H nmr, 1H,1H and 1H,13C COSY, and 2D J-resolved spectra of multiflorine (1) and 13α-hydroxymultiflorine (2) in CDCl3 were taken. Some erroneously determined chemical shifts in 1 were corrected and for the first time signals in 2 were assigned. Most of the coupling constants in 1 and 2 were established. A coupling constant of H7–H17β and chemical shifts for H17β, C14, and C8 were used to define the conformational equilibrium of boat or chair forms in the C rings, in 1 and 2 in solution. The results obtained confirm the previous findings based on chemical shifts of C12: ca. 75 and 70% of the "boat" conformer in 1 and 2, respectively, at room temperature. Of all the criteria used, the H7–H17β coupling constant seems to be least sensitive to the influence of substituents at rings A and D. From the Haasnoot equation, torsion angles of HCCH in regions of molecular geometry featuring low sensitivity to conformational changes were calculated. The hydroxyl group at position 13α has a slight influence on the geometry of ring D.

A detailed analysis of the high field (400 MHz) 1H nmr spectra of the basic antitumor antibiotics saframycin A and C in CDCl3, C6D6, and in aqueous DMSO solutions has been carried out. Selective double irradiation experiments permitted the unambiguous assignment of all the proton chemical shifts and coupling constants. Consideration of the magnitudes of the latter together with specific nOe experiments permits assignment of molecular geometry and average conformations in solution. Selective shifts occurring in DMSO–D2O solutions upon addition of CF3COOD identified the 12-N atom as the site of protonation which result bears directly on the acid promoted binding of these antibiotics to DNA templates as part of their cytotoxic action.

Abstract The synthesis of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of the PH-functional methylenebisphosphanes, R2-n(Me3 Si)nP-CH2 -PR(SiMe3) (R = Me, iPr, tBu, Ph, 2.4.6-Me3C6H2 ; n = 0.1) is reported. In the Li-phosphides R2-nLinP - CH2 - PLiR used as reactive intermediates, a monomer-oligomer association equilibrium causes a rapid Li-exchange as indicated by the solvent and temperature dependent 31P{1H} and 7Li NMR spectrum of (iPr)2 P-CH2 -P(iPr)Li in various solvents (Et2O, THF and MTHF) in the temperature range from 30 to -110 °C. For the syntheses of the Me-and Ph-substituted PH-functional methylenebisphosphanes R2P-CH2 -PRH and RHP-CH2 -PRH (R = Me, Ph) the chlorophosphane CKP -CH2 -PCl2 is used as a starting material. Bifunctional substituents (Ph -N̍-N̍ -Ph and Me -N̍-CO-N̍-Me) are employed for the first time as protecting groups to block one or two PCl-functions in Cl2P-CH2-PCI2,. Cleavage of the PN-bonds in the five membered ring systems (R = Me, Ph) with HCl affords the P-substituted methylenebis-chlorophosphanes RClP-CH2 - PClR in satisfactory yields. The compounds have been characterized by 1H, 13 C{1H} and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. With-in homologous substitution series of methylenebisphosphanes, e.g. R2P-CH2-PR2-nHnthe coupling constants 2J(PP) seem to reflect conformational changes at the PCP-skeleton.

13C chemical shift variations within a series of phenyl, furyl and thienyl Group IVB organometallics appear to be best understood in terms of the usual alkyl and aryl substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts and not variations in dπ ?pπ metal-aryl interactions. Large changes in 13C-metal scalar coupling constants have been observed suggesting that other factors besides the s-character of the carbon-metal bond is responsible in determining the coupling constant.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.

The 100 MHz spectra of the phenyl protons in 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane have been analysed. The 60 MHz PMR chemical shifts and proton-proton coupling constants have been studied in the temperature range from -20 C to +80 °C. The chemical shifts were sensitive to temperature, while the coupling constants were not, except the long range 5Jm coupling constant between the methine proton and the meta positioned phenyl proton in 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane.

From an X-ray analysis of the title compound it is found that the dihedral angle between the plane of the aromatic ring and the oxime plane is 70.8 °. This large angle precludes a significant π electron overlap between the oxime function and the benzene ring. The distortions of the internal ring angles attributable to the four substituents are examined in detail, and parameters are derived for the oxime group. The aryl–oxime C—C bond length (1.491 Å) is the longest yet reported for an aromatic oxime. Using the X-ray derived geometry as input for the calculation of 13C—15N coupling constants, one obtains markedly better agreement between calculated and observed couplings than was the case when a force-field calculated molecular geometry was employed. The barrier to rotation about the aryl–oxime bond is estimated to be about 5.8 kcal/mol.

We have studied the 1H NMR spectra of 2,2′-dimethyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazine at 300 and 500 MHz in seven liquid solvents, with a view to learning details of the internal conformational changes taking place as a function of temperature and of the solvent. These molecules in liquid solution occur as interconverting enantiomorphic pairs (atropisomers). Advanced techniques for obtaining the correct activation energies and pseudo-thermodynamic parameters have been utilized, and these parameters are listed and discussed. Our results point to a transformation between the pair of atropisomers that is not quite as complicated as one might have encountered in that the solvent does not affect ΔG‡ in any major fashion. Molecular orbital calculations clarified some of the chemical shifts observed for both 1H and 13C. One goal of this study was to enable a detailed comparison with similar results available for 2,2′-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazine.Key words: dynamic NMR, dimethylpicrylhydrazine, hindered rotation, atropisomers, activation parameters.

A detailed 400 MHz 1H nmr study was carried out on platinum complexation products of GMP by K2PtCl4. Coupling constant values show that platination on N7 induces a conformational change on the ribose moiety: the 3E form of the ring and the gt conformer about the C(4′)—C(5′) bond are favoured upon complexation. The results are compared to the conformational changes induced by N7 protonation and methylation.

The carbon-13 and (in part) nitrogen-15 chemical shifts of 1,2,3- triazaindolizine and seven three ringed analogues of indolizine have been analysed and enable deductions to be made concerning the extent that the free pair of electrons on the bridgehead nitrogen atom contributes to the delocalized electronic structures. Analogies between these molecules and indolizine are noted in that all the systems possess a high degree of aromaticity. Additivity relationships for nitrogen and methyl substitution are compared with those previously reported for other heteroaromatic molecules. Comparison of previously published 100-MHz and the present-work 270-MHz proton n.m.r. results enabled 13C spectral assignments to be confirmed by selective 1H irradiation experiments, since coupling constant analyses did not provide unambiguous assignments in all cases. One-, two-, three- and four-bond 13C-1H coupling constants are reported for most carbon atoms where first-order spectral analysis was possible. Several examples of non-first-order behaviour are presented and attempts to reconcile the occurrence of this behaviour are outlined.
