The reactions of 2,4- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHBA) with chromium(III) in weak acidic aqueous solutions have been shown to take place in at least two stages. The first stage of the reactions has an observed rate constantk1(obs)=k1[DHBA]+Cand the corresponding activation parameters areΔH1(2,4)≠=49,5 kJ/mol−1,ΔS1(2,4)≠=−103,7J mol−1K−1,ΔH1(2,5)≠=60,3 kJ/mol−1, andΔS1(2,5)≠=−68,0 J mol−1K−1. These are composite activation parameters and the breaking of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the two ligands is suggested to be the first step of the (composite) first stage of the reactions. The second stage is ligand concentration independent and is thus attributed to a chelation process. The corresponding activation parameters areΔH2(2,4)≠=45,13 kJ/mol−1,ΔS2(2,4)≠=−185,9 J mol−1K−1,ΔH2(2,5)≠=54,55 kJ/mol−1, andΔS2(2,5)≠=−154,8 J mol−1K−1. The activation parameters support an associative mechanism for the second stage of the reactions. The various substitution processes are accompanied by proton release, resulting in pH decrease.

The interactions between chromium(III) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA) were studied resulting in the formation of oxygen-bonded complexes upon substitution of water molecules in the chromium(III) coordination sphere. The experimental results show that the reaction takes place in at least three stages, involving various intermediates. The first stage was found to be linearly dependent on ligand concentrationk1(obs)_=k0+k1(obs)[3,4-DHBA], and the corresponding activation parameters were calculated as follows:ΔH1(obs)≠=51.2±11.5 kJ mol−1,ΔS1(obs)≠=−97.3±28.9 J mol−1 K−1(composite activation parameters) . The second and third stages, which are kinetically indistinguishable, do not depend on the concentrations of ligand and chromium(III), accounting for isomerization and chelation processes, respectively. The corresponding activation parameters areΔH2(obs)≠=44.5±5.0 kJ mol−1,ΔS2(obs)≠=−175.8±70.3 J mol−1 K−1. The observed stages are proposed to proceed via interchange dissociative (Id, first stage) and associative (second and third stages) mechanisms. The reactions are accompanied by proton release, as is shown by the pH decrease.

The reaction between chromium(III) and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) takes place in at least three stages, involving various intermediates. The ligand (2,3-DHBA)-to-chromium(III) ratio in the final product of the reaction is 1 : 1. The first stage is suggested to be the reaction of[Cr(H2O)5(OH)]2+with the ligand in weak acidic aqueous solutions that follows anIdmechanism. The second and third stages do not depend on the concentrations of chromium(III), and their activation parameters areΔH≠=61.2±3.1 kJmol−1,ΔS≠=−91.1±11.0 JK−1mol−1,ΔH≠=124.5±8.7 kJmol−1, andΔS≠=95.1±29.0 JK−1mol−1. These two stages are proposed to proceed via associative mechanisms. The positive value ofΔS≠can be explained by the opening of a four-membered ring (positive entropy change) and the breaking of a hydrogen bond (positive entropy change) at the associative step of the replacement of the carboxyl group by the hydroxyl group at the chromium(III) center (negative entropy change in associative mechanisms). The reactions are accompanied by proton release, as shown by the pH decrease.

The syntheses of 2-(2?,4?-dihydroxy-6?-methylbenzoyl)-3,6- dihydroxybenzoic acid (4) and its methyl ethers are described. Treatment of 6-hydroxy-2-(2?-hydroxy-4?-methoxy-6?-methylbenzoyl)-3- methoxybenzoic acid (8) with alcoholic potassium hydroxide gave 2- hydroxy-6-methoxy-8-methyl-9-oxoxanthene-1-carboxylic acid (9). Comparison of the p.m.r. spectra of these structurally related 2- benzoylbenzoic acids revealed that the chemical shifts of the aryl methyl and the ring protons are significantly influenced by the existence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.
