The C-polysaccharide is an antigen common to all known serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria and is a potential target for vaccine preparation. The final uncertainty in the structure of its repeating unit, a pentasaccharide phosphate containing two phosphorylcholine side chains, has been resolved by determining the configuration of ribitol. Assignment of configuration was performed by synthesis of the two trisaccharide phosphate fragments that have either D- or L-ribitol at their centers and comparison of their 1H and 13C NMR spectral data with that of the natural polysaccharide. The syntheses employed common synthons added in different orders to an asymmetrically substituted chiral ribitol derivative to obtain opposite chiralities in the ribitol segments. The data for the trisaccharide containing D-ribitol was almost identical to that of the natural material while that for the trisaccharide containing L-ribitol differed significantly. In particular, the chemical shift differences between the two protons of the primary carbons of ribitol units directly attached to the β-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-galactopyranosyl residue were 0.10, 0.12, and 0.33 ppm, in the natural polysaccharide, the D-ribitol-containing trisaccharide, and the L-ribitol-containing trisaccharide, respectively. The average difference between the 13C NMR chemical shifts of corresponding ribitol carbons from the natural polysaccharide and the D-ribitol-containing trisaccharide phosphate was 0.034 ppm. This evidence indicates that ribitol in the C-polysaccharide has the D-configuration and that a very similar mixture of conformations in the ribitol portions is present for the natural polysaccharide and the D-ribitol-containing trisaccharide phosphate.Key words: C-polysaccharide, Streptococcus pneumoniae, ribitol, dibutylstannylene acetal, determination of configuration.

Abstract A small library of 6-substituted syringyl model compounds with aliphatic, carboxylic, phenylic, benzylic alcohols and brominated substituents were prepared. The influence of the substituents on the chemical shifts of the compounds was analyzed. All of model compounds showed a characteristic increase in the 13C NMR chemical shift of the methoxy group vicinal to the substitution. This 13C NMR peak and its corresponding correlation peak in HSQC could potentially be used to identify 6-condensation in syringylic lignin samples.

This work describes the creation of heuristics rules based on13C-NMR spectroscopy that characterize several skeletal types of diterpenes. Using a collection of 2745 spectra we built a database linked to the expert system SISTEMAT. Several programs were applied to the database in order to discover characteristic signals that identify with a good performance, a large diversity of skeletal types. The heuristic approach used was able to differentiate groups of skeletons based firstly on the number of primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary carbons, and secondly the program searches, for each group, if there are ranges of chemical shifts that identifies specific skeletal type. The program was checked with 100 new structures recently published and was able to identify the correct skeleton in 65 of the studied cases. When the skeleton has several hundreds of compounds, for example, the labdanes, the program employs the concept of subskeletal, and does not classify in the same group labdanes with double bounds at different positions. The chemical shift ranges for each subskeletal types and the structures of all skeletal types are given. The consultation program can be obtained from the authors.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

Abstract A series of alkyl-arylsubstituted N-methyl phosphinothioformamides, R(Ph)PC(S)NHMe (2 a-g), with varying bulkiness of the alkyl rest was synthesized from the racemic secondary phosphines 1a-g and methyl isothiocyanate. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2a−g reveal signal sets of diastereotopic nuclei due to the asymmetry of the molecule. The chemical shift and coupling constants were confirmed by simulation in case of 2b, c. The vicinal 31P−13C couplings of the menthyl and neomenthyl compounds 2f, g show an "anti-Karplus" behaviour (3J(gauche) > 3J(trans)) and allow the conformational assignment of the alicyclic group. The 31P chemical shifts of 2a−d give a linear correlation with the cone angle of the alkyl substituents quoted from literature.

The 13C NMR spectra of a series of 5,6-epoxides in decalinic systems were studied. The interpretation of the chemical shifts allowed us to formulate an empirical rule to predict the epoxide stereochemistry. A discussion of the scope and limitations of this method and its extension to larger carbon skeletons is also presented.Key words: epoxide stereochemistry, 13C NMR, NMR, decalinic systems, oxiranes.

13C nmr chemical shifts have been recorded for a number of uracil, thiouracil, and pyrimidine derivatives. These data are discussed in relation to what is known of the lactam–lactim tautomerism in such systems and possible correlations of chemical shifts with normal aromatic substituent chemical shift parameters. The chemical shifts for the CH3 groups in simple methylated derivatives of uracil are very characteristic of the site of methylation and should prove useful as a tool for assigning structures to alkylated derivatives of this general type.

13C nmr chemical shifts are reported for some aromatic and aliphatic tellurium compounds. For a given organic group, the shift of the C1 atom varies in the order [Formula: see text], as expected from electronegative considerations. The C2 atom experiences an opposite trend while the C3 and C4 atoms of the ring experience smaller changes. The chemical shifts of para-substituted aromatic tellurium compounds do not show additivity of contributions from the substituents.

The 13C NMR resonances corresponding to the C-Me group of C-6 and/or C-8 C-methylated-flavonoids absorb between 6.7–10.0 ppm and typically between 6.7–8.7 ppm. A comparative 13C NMR study reflects that the 13C NMR chemical shifts reported for 6-hydroxy-5-methyl-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyaurone-4-O-α-L-rhamnoside from Pterocarpus santalinus and 8-C-methyl-5,7,2′,4′- tetramethoxyflavanone from Terminalia alata are inconsistent with the assigned structures, and therefore need reconsideration.

Six series of 2-X-5-Y-substituted furans were used for multivariate regression of 13C NMR chemical shifts with four substituent shift increments (SSI). Some of these series were measured in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 on different spectrometers to exclude possible sources of deviation from the general trends. Program ASSIGN was written for visual and numerical estimation of correct assignment of 13C NMR spectra in the series of derivatives. Multivariate regression proved that the corresponding position in benzenes and furans are not affected by the substituents in the same way: in 2-X-5-Y-substituted furans, the "ortho" position requires correction for the different bond order, the "meta" 13C chemical shift is probably affected by change in diamagnetic contribution of the Y group, and "para" position behaves like another "ortho" position in the molecule.
