NMR studies of benzoannulation in lithium, sodium and potassium ortho-formylphenolates

Abstract Lithium, sodium and potassium derivatives of (benzo)salicylaldehydes have been prepared and characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR in order to see how the metal cation and benzoannulation affect spectral parameters. There is no qualitative effect of the alkali metal atom in the compounds studied (from this point of view salicylaldehydes remind β-diketones). On the other hand, 1 H chemical shifts of the hydroxyl and formyl protons and 13 C chemical shifts of C2 (bearing OX, X = H, Li, Na or K) and of that the formyl carbon show the most significant variations being the best indicators of aromatic character of the six-membered quasi-ring of salicylaldehyde. In contrast, C1 (bearing formyl…

Difference in the behavior of methyl (S)-?-bromopropionate in its addition to trimethylvinylsilane depending on the method of initiation

The addition of methyl (S)-2-bromopropionate to trimethylvinylsilane initiated by systems based on iron pentacarbonyl affords a racemic adduct and is accompanied by racemization of the unreacted chiral ester. In the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the reaction proceeds similarly, but no racemization of the starting chiral ester occurs.

13C NMR spectral assignments of 3α,3′α-bis(arylcarboxy)-5β-cholan-24-oic acid ethane-1,2-diol diesters: new lithocholic acid-based molecular clefts

3α,3′α-Bis(arylcarboxy)-5β-cholan-24-oic acid ethane-1,2-diol diesters (1–3) were synthesized by the reaction of an aroyl chloride (aroyl=2,6-dichlorobenzoyl, 2-naphthoyl and 1-pyrenoyl) with lithocholic acid (3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid) ethane-1,2-diol diester. The 13C NMR chemical shift assignments of the formed molecular clefts 1–3, pyrene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4) (used as model compound) and 1-pyrenoyl chloride (5) are based on literature data and 13C DEPT-135, 1H,13C HMQC and 1H,13C HMBC experiments. The molecular weights of 1–3 were determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

ortho-Substituent effects inN-arylacetamides. NMR and molecular mechanics investigation

1H, 13C, 15N and 17O NMR spectra of N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) and 21 ortho-substituted acetanilides were measured and assigned. The observed NMR parameters are related to the Hammett substituent parameters and conformational characteristics of the acetamido moiety estimated by molecular mechanics calculations. Significant relationships were found for the 13C NMR chemical shifts of C-5 (para to substituent) and the direct spin–spin coupling constant, 1J(C, H), of C-3 (ortho to substituent) with Hammett substituent parameters. For 15N NMR chemical shifts of the amido nitrogen, no general correlation with the Hammett substituent parameters was found. The interactions between functionalit…

Structural study of ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates: conformation and transmission of substituent effects across the diazabicycloheptene ring

Nine new ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates were prepared by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition and their FTIR, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra were measured and assigned. Single crystals were grown for five compounds and their X-ray data were obtained. The electronic structure and the conformations were calculated by the semi-empirical AM1 method. Using correlations between the spectral, empirical and theoretical structural data, the transmission of substituent effects and the preferential conformation connected with the consecutive double nitrogen inversion and regarding the mutual orientation of NH and CO bonds were investigated. The results are compared with those f…

13C NMR Spectral Characterization of 4-Aryl-Substituted Bispyrazolo[3,4-b;4′,3′-e]pyridines

Complete Spectral Analysis of the1H NMR 16-Spin System of β-Pinene

The complete analysis of the 1H NMR spectrum of β-pinene, (1S)-(-)-6,6-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, which is of the ABCDEFGHIJX3Y3 type, is reported and earlier results are corrected. The vicinal coupling constants, 3J(H,H), are compared with the theoretical values calculated by using the Altona and co-workers’ equations for the structure derived by molecular modelling. The results were applied to the conformational analysis of β-pinene. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

?-Phenylsulfonyl-N-arylacetamides (?-phenylsulfonylacetanilides):1H,13C and15N NMR spectral characterization

Dual Substituent Parameter Modeling of Theoretical, NMR and IR Spectral Data of 5-Substituted Indole-2,3-diones

Correlations of AM1 and PM3 theoretical data, 13C-NMR substituent chemical shifts (13C-SCS) and IR carbonyl group wave numbers [ν(C3â•ÂO)] were studied using dual substituent parameter (DSP) models for 5-substituted indole-2,3-diones. For the C7 atom a reverse substituent effect attributed to extended À-polarization was observed. On the other hand, the DSP approaches for the C3 atom showed normal substituent effects with some contribution of reverse effect supported strongly by 13C-SCS correlations. In the ν(C3â•ÂO) and p(C3â•ÂO) DSP correlations the field effect contribution predominates over the resonance effect, which justifies the using of earlier suggested vibrational cou…

Multinuclear magnetic resonance and x-ray diffraction studies of aminonitropyridines

The 15N NMR spectra for 21 aminonitropyridines were measured and their chemical shifts assigned. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants were also determined for 16 compounds of this series. In order to relate the structural properties of nitramino groups and their 15N NMR chemical shifts in 2- and 4-nitramino-3-nitropyridines, which differ remarkably from all other amino groups studied, low-temperature 1H NMR, 17O NMR, comparative INEPT and IR spectroscopic studies were carried out. In addition, the x-ray crystal structure of 2-nitramino-3-nitropyridine was determined. Comparative spectroscopic studies showed that the nitramino derivatives exhibit different char…

1H, 13C NMR spectral and single crystal structural studies of toxaphene congeners. Quantum chemical calculations for preferred conformers of 2,5-endo,6-exo,8,9,9,10,10-octachloro-2-bornene and their DFT/GIAO 13C chemical shifts

Abstract The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for six toxaphene congeners: 2-exo,3-endo,6-exo,8,9,10-hexachloro- (1), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,9,9,10,10-heptachloro- (2), 2-exo,3-endo,6-exo,8,9,10,10-heptachloro- (3), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8,9,10-heptachloro- (4), 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8,9,9,10-octachlorobornane (5) and 2,5-endo,6-exo,8,9,9,10,10-octachloro-2-bornene (6) are reported. Their chemical shift assignments have been obtained by means of Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) Double Quantum Filtered (DQF) 1H,1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), PFG 1H,13C Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) and PFG 1H,13C Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC) experiments. A single crystal…

1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectral study of chlorinated 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehydes (protocatechualdehydes)

Abstract Chlorinated 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehydes have been studied by means of 1 H, 13 C and 17 O NMR spectroscopy. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectral assignments are based on 2-dimensional 13 C- 1 H chemical shift correlation spectroscopy (COSY). The 17 O NMR measurements at natural isotope content in organic solvents are problematic owing to the poor solubility of the compounds and/or broadness of the resonance lines. In aqueous alkaline solutions, however, all protocatechualdehydes exhibit “easy-to-detect” 17 O NMR spectral characteristics. The 17 O NMR chemical shifts in the range of 140–480 p.p.m. are interpreted as arising from the different canonical structures of formyl substituted phenol…

Comparative multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic study of transition metal (Cr, W and Mn) mesitylene tricarbonyls and transition metal (Ru and Co) carbonyl clusters

Abstract Three mononuclear 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene) carbonyl transition metal complexes, mesitylene tricarbonyl chromium, (CH 3 ) 3 C 6 H 3 Cr(CO) 3 ( 1 ), mesitylene tricarbonyl tungsten, (CH 3 ) 3 C 6 H 3 W(CO) 3 ( 2 ), mesitylene tricarbonyl manganese tetra-fluoroborate, [(CH 3 ) 3 C 6 H 3 Mn(CO) 3 ]BF 4 ( 3 ); and three clusters, mesitylene nonacarbonyl tetracobalt, (CH 3 ) 3 C 6 H 3 Co 4 (CO) 9 ( 4 ), mesitylene carbido tetradecacarbonyl hexaruthenium, (CH 3 ) 3 C 6 H 3 Ru 6 C(CO) 14 ( 5 ) and carbido heptadecacarbonyl hexaruthenium, Ru 6 C(CO) 17 ( 6 ), have been studied by means of 1 H, 13 C and natural abundance 17 O NMR spectroscopy. Generally, the 1 H and 13 C NMR chemi…

Intramolecular cyclization of chloral allyl hemiacetal under the action of the Fe(CO)5-DMF system

Chloral allyl hemiacetal undergoes cyclization in the presence of the Fe(CO)5-DMF system to form 3,3,5-trichloro-2-hydroxytetrahydropyran rather than a butyrolactone derivative.

1H,13C and17O NMR study of substituted nitropyridines

1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra for 22 substituted nitropyridines were measured and their 1H NMR spectra were analysed. The most significant variations in the NMR parameters are found for isomeric hydroxy derivatives, owing to the possibility of keto–enol tautomerism. The prevalence of the keto form is observed in 2- and 4-hydroxy derivatives, while the 3-hydroxy derivative exists in its enol form. Among the three nuclei studied, 17O seems to be the best nucleus for probing the keto–enol tautomerism. No correlation is observed between the torsion angle of the nitro group and its 17O NMR chemical shift. Molecular mechanics calculations were performed to clarify the torsional energetics of the ni…

13C NMR spectroscopy of four tertiary methyl norbornenols and norbornanols

Carbon chemical shifts and direct 13C1H coupling constants of 2-endo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-exo-ol, 2-exo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-endo-ol, 2-endo-methylnorbornan-2-exo-ol and 2-exo-methylnorbornan-2-endo-ol have been measured from single samples using a dual probe pulse Fourier transform method.

1H,13C,17O and19F NMR spectroscopic study of isomeric ring-substituted monofluoro-(E)-3-phenylpropenals

Isomeric ring substituted monofluoro-(E)-3-phenylpropenals (cinnamaldehydes) were synthesized in order to provide, with the NMR-active 19F nucleus, an insight into the influence of substituents and the transmission of electronic effects between the aromatic ring and the side-chain. Their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts and their nJ(H,H), nJ(H,F), nJ(C,H) and nJ(C,F) values were determined. Generally, the nJ(C,F) coupling constants correlate with the length of the coupling route and thus simplify the assignments of the 13C NMR spectra. Only the side-chain carbons C-2 and C-3 in the ortho-substituted compounds showed an exception to this rule. Many long-range nJ(H,F) (n = 4–7) values were…

Predominance of inductive over resonance substituent effect on33S NMR chemical shifts of 4-substituted phenyl-4′-methylphenacyl sulfones

33S NMR chemical shifts have been determined for the first time for a series of 10 substituted phenacyl sulfones. Electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents in 4-substituted phenyl-4′-methylphenacyl sulfones, p-MeC6H4COCH2SO2C6H4R-p, cause a ‘reverse’ substituent effect on the 33S NMR resonance. Dual-substituent parameter (DSP) analysis of δ(33S) values revealed that the inductive effect of the substituent predominates over its resonance effect. This finding shows that the 33S NMR chemical shifts are of importance in estimating the electronic properties of sulfur-containing compounds. The 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts of the title compounds are also discussed. Copyright © 19…

Multinuclear magnetic resonance study of 1,3,3-trimethylbicyclo [2.2.1]heptan-2-one (fenchone) oxime, its five monochloro derivatives and a dehydrochlorination product

Fenchone oxime, 5-exo-chlorofenchone oxime, 6-exo-chlorofenchone oxime, 7-anti-chlorofenchone oxime, 8-chlorofenchone oxime, 9-chlorofenchone oxime and a dehydrochlorination product of 10-chlorofenchone oxime were synthesized from fenchone and the corresponding chlorofenchones. The 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra of the oximes and the dehydrochlorination product were recorded. The NMR data were compared with the corresponding parameters obtained earlier for fenchone and monochlorofenchones in order to determine the differences between the carbonyl and oxime substituents from the NMR spectroscopic point of view, and to assign the stereochemistry of the oxime group. This stereochemistry could not…

NMR spectroscopy in environmental chemistry:1H and13C NMR chemical shift assignments of chlorinated dibenzothiophenes based on two-dimensional NMR techniques andab initio MO and DFT/GIAO calculations

1H, 13C and 15N NMR study of 2-alkylnitrosoamino-4-nitropyridines and N-oxides: An example on restricted inversion of sp3 nitrogen

Abstract The 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR chemical shifts of seven 2-alkylnitrosoamino-4-nitropyridines and seven 2-alkylnitrosoamino-4-nitropyridine N -oxides have been assigned. The GIAO/DFT 13 C chemical shifts of energetically optimized structures have been calculated. The results were compared to the chemical shifts of previously studied 2-alkylamino and 2-alkylnitramino derivatives of 4-nitropyridine and 4-nitropyridine N -oxide. In sterically crowded ortho -substituted congener (2-ethylnitrosoamino-3-methyl-4-nitropyridine N -oxide) restricted inversion of pyramidal amino nitrogen forms a chiral center in the molecule and makes the geminal protons of N–CH 2 -moiety diastereotopic. In 5- an…

1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectral and theoretical studies of some methyl and alkylamino derivatives of 4-halopyridine N-oxides

Abstract Nine new and three earlier known 4-halogen (Cl and Br) substituted pyridine N-oxides have been prepared and their 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR chemical shifts assigned based on PFG 1 H, X (X= 13 C and 15 N) HMQC and HMBC experiments as well as the comparison with our earlier results for substituted pyridine N-oxide derivatives. The 15 N resonances of the pyridine nitrogen are 27–40 ppm more shielded in 4-halo-2-alkylamino-6-methyl-5-nitropyridine N-oxide than in parent 4-halopyridine N-oxide. According to quantum chemical ab initio HF/6-311G** calculations the amino tautomer of 4-chloro-2-methylamino-6-methyl-5-nitropyridine N-oxide is more stable than its imino form. Using B3LYP/6-311G*…

1H, 13C, 15N NMR, ESI mass spectral and single crystal X-ray structural characterization of three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles]

Abstract Three spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles], 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine]-2′-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-phenyl-spiro[3H-indole-3, 3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (2) and 1,1′,2,2′,5′,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-2-oxo-1′-nitro-2′-(4″-chlorophenyl)-spiro[3H-indole-3,3′-[3H]-pyrrolizine] (3) have been synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 15N spectra assigned. The chemical shift assignments are based on Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) Double Quantum Filter (DQF) 1H, 1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), PFG 1H, 13C Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) and PFG 1H,X (X = 13C and 15N) Heteronuc…

13C NMR study of some polychloro-isobutane and -isobutene compounds

The 13C chemical shifts and the carbon–proton coupling constants have been determined for some chlorinated isobutane and isobutene compounds. The one-bond coupling constants in isobutane derivatives showed a regular increase with an increasing number of γ-chlorine substituents. The three-bond coupling constant of the methyl carbon decreased from 4.2 to 2.0 Hz as the number of chlorine substituents in the γ-position increased. In the isobutene compounds, the vicinal coupling of C-1 was larger to protons in a group that is trans with respect to a chlorine substituent on C-1 than to those in the corresponding group cis to the chlorine. The vicinal coupling constants between atoms in geminal gr…

The identification of vicinally substituted cyclohexane isomers in their mixtures by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

The radical addition reactions of organobromine compounds, XBr (X = CH2COOMe, PhCH2, CHBr2 and CCl3) with cyclohexene afforded mixtures of cis/trans isomer pairs of 1-X-2-Br-cyclohexanes. In addition to benzyl benzoyloxy derivatives are formed also, when benzoyl peroxide is used as an initiator. Owing to the great difficulties in separating these cis/trans isomer pairs, they are identified directly in their mixtures by NMR spectroscopy. In addition to one-dimensional (ID) 1H, proton decoupled 13C and DEPT-135, also two-dimensional (2D) 13C-13C INADEQUATE as well as 1H-13C HMQC experiments have been used in assigning the signals of each compound in their mixtures. The identification of each …

Multinuclear NMR study of 1,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one (fenchone) and its six monochlorinated derivatives

1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra of fenchone and six monochlorofenchones have been recorded. The second-order 1H NMR spectra were analysed by an iterative computer program. The 1H and 13C chlorine-induced substituent chemical shifts (SCS) were calculated. The vicinal coupling constants proved to be essential in the assignment of the chemical shifts of the geminal methyls. No clear correlation was observed between the chemical shifts of the carbonyl oxygen and the carbonyl carbon. All monochlorofenchones were previously unknown compounds and were synthesized for this work.

13C spin-lattice relaxation study of chlorinated alkanes

The spin-lattice relaxation of ten polychloroalkanes (ethanes to pentanes) have been studied both neat and in a 50% solution in CDCl3. The T1 values for the CH2, CH2Cl and CHCl2 carbons decrease with increasing molecular weight in accordance with a dipolar-dominated mechanism, whereas those of the CCl3 carbons showed no dependence on molecular weight. In chloropentanes, with chlorine substitution at one end only, the frequency of segmental motion begins to compete with that of overall tumbling of the molecule. Consequently, the T1 minimum is shifted from the middle towards the heavier end of the molecule, and also a relatively large T1 for the terminal methyl is observed. It was also demons…

Mono-, bi- and polynuclear complexes of diphenylmethane with Cr, Co and Ru. Synthesis and investigation by 1H, 13C and 17O NMR

Abstract Complexes of diphenylmethane (Ph 2 CH 2 ): Ph 2 CH 2 Cr(CO) 3 ( 1 ), Ph 2 CH 2 [Cr(CO) 3 ] 2 ( 2 ), Ph 2 CH 2 Co 4 (CO) 9 ( 3 ), Ph 2 CH 2 [Co 4 (CO) 9 ] 2 ( 4 ), Ph 2 CH 2 Cr(CO) 3 Co 4 (CO) 9 ( 5 ) and Ph 2 CH 2 Ru 6 C(CO) 14 ( 6 ) have been prepared and characterized by 1 H and 13 C-and 17 O-NMR spectroscopy. Strong shielding effects are caused by the metal valence electrons on the 1 H- and 13 C-NMR chemical shifts of aromatic protons and carbons in π-coordinated ring(s) diphenylmethane. Generally, the order of these shielding effects on the nuclei of the aromatic rings in 1 H-NMR was Co 4 (CO) 9 6 C(CO) 14 3 and in 13 C-NMR Co 4 (CO) 9 3 6 C(CO) 14 . In addition, aromatic solve…

13C NMR study of aromatic ring-substituted (E)-3-phenylpropenals and (2E,4E)-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienals

13C and 1H chemical shifts together with C,H and H,H coupling constants are presented for (E)-3-phenylpropenal, (2E,4E)-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienal and their o-OCH3- and o-, m- and p-NO2-substituted derivatives. The SCSs calculated for the aldehyde chains show similar effects on the ring carbons, except in the para position where the shorter chain causes a 3.3 ppm deshielding and the longer chain a 1.0 ppm shielding effect. This shift difference is reflected in all the ring-substituted derivatives of the two series of aldehydes, but not in the one-bond C,H coupling constants. The effect of aromatic ring substitution on 2J(C,CHO) seems to be mainly inductive in origin. The importance of the str…

Configurational effects in17O NMR chemical shifts of hydroxyl-substituted, bicyclo [2.2.1]heptenes and -heptanes, their methylated derivatives and some related compounds

Well resolved natural abundance 17O NMR spectra of 27 mono-, di-, tri- and tetrahydroxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes and -heptanes (norbornenes or norbornanes), their methylated derivatives and some related compounds were measured for 0.5 M or saturated solutions in acetonitrile at 65°C. In addition, the 17O NMR chemical shifts of 14 aliphatic and alicyclic alcohols were also determined for reference purposes. The 17O NMR chemical shifts of all compounds were assigned. Both methyl- and hydroxyl-induced deshielding β-effects were consistent with those reported in the literature. Similarly, observed shielding γ-effects were in agreement with the earlier observations and characteristic especially for…

NMR, X-Ray and MS Investigations of Ethyl 2-Aroyl-and Ethyl 2-Arylcarbamoyl-4,5- dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazine-1- carboxylates: Flexible Multidentate Ligands

The 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of ethyl 2-aroyl-4,5-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazine-1-carboxylates (1a-1h) and ethyl 2-arylcarbamoyl-4,5-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazine-1-carboxylates (2a-2k) are given based on DQF COSY, 1H,13C HMQC and 1H,13C HMBC-measurements; the dynamics of the tetrahydropyridazine ring has been studied by 1H, 1H EXSY-technique and the structure of one congener (4′-methylphenyl-derivative, 2a) has been confirmed by X-ray structure analysis.

Reactions of Carbonyl Compounds in Basic Solutions. Part 351: The Alkaline Hydrolysis and Reactivity – Structure – Spectra Correlations of (Z)-4-(Substituted Benzylidene)-2-Phenyl-4H-Oxazol-5-Ones

The kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis and the configuration, conformation and electronic structure were studied using IR, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis and AM1 theoretical calculations for a series of (Z)-4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-ones (1) and compared with analogous results reported for (E)-4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4H-furan-5-ones (5) and related compounds.

1H,13C and17O NMR study of aromatic ring-substituted monochloro- and monobromo-(E)-3-phenylpropenals

Trans-Cinnamaldehydes (CAs) or o-, m- and p-X-(E)-3-phenylpropenals; (X = Cl or Br) were synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra were measured, assigned and analysed. The long-range benzylic couplings are discussed in terms of the conformational characteristics of the related styrene systems. The 1H, 13C and 17O NMR substituent chemical shifts of the CA derivatives were compared with those of styrene and explained by the π-electron delocalization in the conjugated CCCO bond system of CA.

A computationally feasible quantum chemical model for 13C NMR chemical shifts of PCB-derived carboxylic acids.

Two quantum chemical models have been derived for the prediction of 13C NMR chemical shifts of novel PCB acids obtained from PCBs by catalytic carbonylation. 13C isotropic shielding constants were calculated employing the GIAO (gauge-independent atomic orbital) method with density functional theory (DFT). The best results were obtained by cluster calculations, which took the solvent effects into account properly. In this approach, a solvent molecule (acetone) was attached by a hydrogen bond to every hydrogen atom present in a PCB acid, and the geometry of the molecular cluster was optimized employing the AM1 method. For 158 chemical shifts, the cross-validated standard error was 2.8 ppm and…

Pairwise effects of chlorine substituents on the13C NMR chemical shifts of dichlorobicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (norbornanes)

The 13C NMR spectra of nine dichlorinated bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (norbornanes) have been measured and assigned. The pairwise effects of chlorine substituents which cause deviations from the additivity of single-substituent effects were investigated and are discussed. The largest effect found is the high-field shift of carbons bearing vicinal cis substituents. In the case of geminal substitution deviations from additivity were found to be to low field and large in the γ, smaller in the β and negligible in the α chemical shifts. The observed deviations for 1,3-disubstituted cases vary from −3.2 to +1.1 ppm at different carbons, allowing no simple explanation. Replacement of α-hydrogen in a di…

ChemInform Abstract: Intramolecular Cyclization of Chloral Allyl Hemiacetal under the Action of the Fe(CO)5-DMF System.

Chloral allyl hemiacetal undergoes cyclization in the presence of the Fe(CO)5-DMF system to form 3,3,5-trichloro-2-hydroxytetrahydropyran rather than a butyrolactone derivative.

Nitramino, NRNO2 (R = H, CH3), as a substituent.13C and15N NMR spectroscopic study of nitraminobenzenes and -pyridines

In order to clarify the special properties of the aryl-bound nitramino substituent NRNO 2 (R=H, CH 3 ), 13 C and 15 N NMR spectra of six nitraminobenzenes and nine nitraminopyridines were measured in DMSO-d 6 and their chemical shifts assigned. 1 H NMr chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants of all the compounds were also determined. In contrast to the behaviour of nitropyridines or -benzenes studied previously, most of the present compounds gave very broad 17 O NMR lines even at elevated temperatures and their 17 O NMR data were not useful for any reliable conclusions

Multinuclear 1H, 13C and 15N NMR study of some substituted 2-amino-4-nitropyridines and their N-oxides.

1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shift assignments based on pulsed field gradient selected PFG 1H,X (X = 15C and 15N) HMQC and HMBC experiments are reported for three 4-nitropyridine N-oxides and four 4-nitropyridines. It was found that an ortho effect of a methyl group inhibits the deshielding effect of the 4-nitro group and that this effect and the so-called back donation is influenced by electronegativity and position of substituents in the multisubstituted pyridine N-oxides. The shielding effect of N-oxide group is most pronounced in the 15N NMR chemical shifts of the studied compounds. This effect is further modified by methylamino, methylnitramino, 5- or 3-methyl and 4-nitro groups. Among…

Cyclopentadienyl derivatives of octahedral carbonylcarbide hexaruthenium clusters: synthesis, NMR, IR and X-ray characterization

Abstract The reaction of hexanuclear carbonylcarbide cluster Ru6C(CO)17 (1) with pentamethylcyclopentadiene by reflux in heptane leads to a new chelate cluster Ru6C(μ-η1-η5-CH2C5Me4)(CO)14 (2). The compound 2 contains a CH2 group α-bonded to one of the Ru atoms in the Ru6 cluster and a C5Me4-ligand η5-coordinated by the adjacent Ru atom of the Ru6 cluster. Reflux of 1 in hexane with two molecular equivalents of nickelocene, Ni(C5H5)2  NiCp2, used as a source of cyclopentadiene yields the Ru6C(CO)12Cp2 (3) cluster. The compounds 2 and 3 have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction studies.

Structural characterization of β-2′-pyridylaminocrotonoyl-2-pyridylamide by ESI-MS, NMR, single crystal X-ray analysis and ab initio methods

Abstract In contradiction with earlier reports 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra show that β-2′-pyridylaminocrotonoyl-2-pyridylamide is the only form present in chloroform solution. According to the X-ray data the same tautomer exists also in the crystal state. The studied amide has a dimeric form where the monomer molecules are held together by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The NMR spectral data show that there is also an intramolecular hydrogen bond in each monomer subunit. The dilution experiments and variable-temperature 1H NMR runs show that β-2′-pyridylaminocrotonoyl-2-pyridylamide tends to form the dimers also in chloroform solution at higher concentrations. The ESI-TOF MS measurement…

1H,13C and17O NMR spectroscopic study of four bicyclo [3.1.1]heptenes (derivatives of α-pinene) and four bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes (derivatives of β-pinene)

Four derivatives of 2, 6, 6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene (α-pinene) and four derivatives of 2-methylene-6, 6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (β-pinene) were synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra were measured, analysed and assigned. The 1H NMR spectral parameters were obtained by computer-aided analyses of the very complex multi-spin, second-order spectra. Some of the 13C NMR chemical shift assignments of these compounds reported in the literature should be changed, based on these accurate 1H NMR spectral analyses and carbon-proton chemical shift correlated spectra (COSY). The new assignments are supported by the 1J(C, H) values, which show a strong dependence on the bond ang…

1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectral characterization of twenty-seven 1,2-diaryl-(4E)-arylidene-2-imidazolin-5-ones.

1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts and couplings nJ(H,C) in DMSO-d6 at 30 °C have been determined for 1,2-diaryl-(4E)-arylidene-2-imidazolin-5-one derivatives 1–27. Their chemical shift assignments are based on PFG DQF 1H,1H COSY, PFG 1H,13C HMQC as well as PFG 1H,13C and 1H,15N HMBC experiments. For compounds 1–10 including aryl fluorine substituent(s) also the couplings nJ(F,C) (n = 1 − 4) are reported. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

NMR spectroscopy in environmental chemistry:1H and13C NMR parameters of tricyclic polychlorinated C10 hydrocarbons and their oxy derivatives based on two-dimensional NMR techniques

Two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear NMR chemical shift correlation techniques were applied in the characterization of five tricyclic polychlorinated C10 hydrocarbons, chlordene (1), heptachlor (2), trans-nonachlor (3), α-chlordene (4) and γ-chlordene (5), which are spread globally in the environment owing to their use as insecticides. Approximate and partly contradictory 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts reported in the literature were corrected in this work. The chemical shift assignments of 1–5 were based on DQF COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. In addition, an INADEQUATE experiment was needed to ascertain the 13C chemical shifts assignment of 2. The nJ(H,H)s of 1–5 were solved by compute…

1H,13C and15N NMR chemical shifts of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

Comparative NMR and IR spectral, X-ray structural and theoretical studies of eight 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxides

Abstract Eight 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxides are characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray structures for three congeners are reported. In addition, the transmission of substituent effects in conjugated double bond system of 6-arylidenedibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-one-5,5-dioxide framework has been evaluated by calculating the correlations between selected 13C NMR chemical shifts and IR stretching wave numbers and Hammett constants of the substituents locating in the phenyl ring of the arylidene moiety.

A correlative IR, MS, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR and theoretical study of 4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-onesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: NMR data, including graphs; Cartesian coordinates for 3a and 4. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/p2/b1/b106322g/

Sixteen 4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-ones (3) were synthesised by cyclisation of α-thiocyanatoacetophenones (1) in acid solution. They appear to prefer greatly the oxo tautomeric forms. In CCl4 solution an equilibrium between the free CO bond and a “dimeric” hydrogen-bonded form exists in which the latter predominates. Several IR and NMR (1H, 13C and 15N) spectral properties are shown to correlate with Hammett σ-values and/or atomic Mulliken charges and bond orders, the latter being estimated by PM3 or AM1 semiempirical methods. The electron-impact mass spectra were also recorded and the fragmentation mechanisms interpreted in terms of the energetics of the ionic species. In addition, the geometric …

Synthesis and NMR characterization of seven new substituted pyridine N-oxides

Abstract Seven 3-substituted (alkylamino, alkylnitramino and alkylnitrosoamino) derivatives of pyridine N-oxide have been prepared and their 1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts assigned based on PFG 1H, 13C HMQC and PFG 1H, X (X = 13C or 15N) HMBC experiments. In the sterically most crowded congener, 3-ethylnitramino-4-nitropyridine N-oxide, chemical non-equivalence or diastereotopicity of the N–CH2 protons was observed probably due to the chirality of the adjacent amino nitrogen caused by its restricted inversion. The coalescence temperature for the 1H NMR chemical shifts of these geminal protons has been determined and the corresponding ΔG∗ for the energy barrier of the dynamic process ha…

1H,13C and17O NMR study of chlorovanillins and some related compounds

1H, 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts and nJ(H,H), 1J(C,H) and 3J(C-6, H-formyl) spin—spin coupling constants of chlorinated vanillins (3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehydes) were determined. The variation in the long-range 4J(H,H) value between the formyl proton and an ortho-proton suggests that the ortho-substituent strongly forces the formyl group out of the aromatic plane. This can also be observed by considering the 3J(C-6,H-formyl) values and the 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts. The 17O NMR chemical shifts show a linear correlation with the torsion angle of the formyl group calculated by molecular mechanics. The 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts of the methoxyl group also possess strong predic…

Specificity of 15N NMR chemical shifts to the nature of substituents and tautomerism in substituted pyridine N-oxides

1H, 13C, and 15N NMR chemical shifts have been measured for 2-aminopyridine N-oxide (1), its eleven derivatives (2–10, 13, 14), and 3-Cl and 3-Br substituted 4-nitropyridine N-oxides (11, 12). δ(15N) of pyridine ring nitrogen in 2-acetylaminopyridine N-oxides are 5.9–11.5 ppm deshielded from those in 2-aminopyridine N-oxides. When amino and acetylamino substituents are in 4-position, δ(15N) of ring nitrogen is 21.3 ppm deshielded in the acetylated derivative. The strong resonance interaction between 2-amino and 5-nitro groups reflects in the decrease of amino nitrogen shielding about 5.3–17.9 ppm. Also, 1H and 13C NMR spectral data are in agreement with 15N NMR results reflected as deshield…

The same order of the shielding effects induced by the transition metal (Co 1 H NMR chemical shifts of the η 6 -coord…

Chlorodicyclopentadienyloxoniobium(V) complexes revisited: The origin of the asymmetry in the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, X-ray crystal structures and ab initio/HF and DFT/B3LYP calculations

Abstract 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of chlorodicyclopentadienyloxoniobium(V) complex I and its four 1,1′-dialkyl substituted derivatives II–V have been recorded and assigned based on DQF 1H,1H-COSY and PFG 1H,13C-HMQC and HMBC experiments. Non-equivalences of all cyclopentadienyl protons and carbons in II–V (as reflected by their different 1H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts) are explained by synchronous and out-of-phase rotations of the substituted cyclopentadienyl rings. A non-equivalence of the methyls in III (1,1′-di-isopropyl) is explained by a detailed inspection of the rotamers of the isopropyl groups. The X-ray structural data show that III and IV (1-methyl-1′-tert-butyl) crystallize in th…

ChemInform Abstract: Ortho-Substituent Effects in N-Arylacetamides. NMR and Molecular Mechanics Investigation.

1H, 13C, 15N and 17O NMR spectra of N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) and 21 ortho-substituted acetanilides were measured and assigned. The observed NMR parameters are related to the Hammett substituent parameters and conformational characteristics of the acetamido moiety estimated by molecular mechanics calculations. Significant relationships were found for the 13C NMR chemical shifts of C-5 (para to substituent) and the direct spin–spin coupling constant, 1J(C, H), of C-3 (ortho to substituent) with Hammett substituent parameters. For 15N NMR chemical shifts of the amido nitrogen, no general correlation with the Hammett substituent parameters was found. The interactions between functionalit…

1H,13C and15N NMR spectroscopic, x-ray structural andab initio/HF studies on nitramino andN-alkylamino-4-nitro derivatives of pyridineN-oxides and pyridines

The 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra in DMSO-d6 were measured for eight nitraminopyridine N-oxides, ten 4-nitropyridine N-oxides, four 2-nitraminopyridines and five 4-nitropyridines. Their chemical shift assignments are based on PFG 1H,X (X = 13C and 15N) HMQC and HMBC experiments. The relative energies for the tautomers of two nitraminopyridine N-oxides were determined by ab initio HF/6–311G** calculations. A single-crystal x-ray structural analysis was made for 4-methyl-2-nitraminopyridine: C6H7O2N3, M = 153.15, triclinic, space group P-1 (No. 2), a = 7.0275(4), b = 6.8034(3), c = 8.6086(5) A, α = 103.620(2), β = 90.309(2), γ = 122.215(3)°, V = 334.11(3) A3, Z = 2.

Multinuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of 2,4,6-Triarylpyridines, 1-Methyl-2,4,6-Triarylpyridinium, and 2,4,6-Triarylpyrylium Cations

Abstract The H, 13C, 15N, and 19F NMR spectra of 2,4,6-triarylpyridines, 1-methyl-2,4,6-triarylpyridinium and 2,4,6-triarylpyrylium perchlorates have been studied. The H NMR signals of protons 3(5) in the heteroaromatic ring are deshielded due to the polarization of C-H bonds caused by delocalization of the positive charge in pyridinium and pyrylium cations. Generally, conformational and structural variations affect the 13C NMR chemical shifts of all carbons in the heteroaromatic ring. Those of carbons 3(5) can best be related to the electron-donating or electron-accepting ability of substituents. However, both electronic character of substituents and charge of heteroatom itself are needed …
