Distribution of Dendritic,Terminal and Linear Units and Relationship between Degree of Branching and Molecular Weight of AB2‐Type Hyperbranched Polymer: A 13C‐NMR Study

Degree of branching (DB) of AB₂‐type hyperbranched polymer has been studied using ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. For this purpose, a series of hyperbranched polyamides based on 3,5‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)benzoic acid differing in molecular weight was prepared by adopting a fractional precipitation technique. A model compound mimicking exactly the terminal and dendritic units present in the hyperbranched polymer (HBP) was also synthesized in high yield. ¹³C‐NMR spectra of the polymers and the model compound were recorded under exacting experimental conditions. With the help of ¹³C‐NMR spectrum of model compound and the integration values, peaks for terminal (T) units, dendritic (D) units and linear (L) units present in the HBP have been assigned. The spectra of low molecular weight fractions clearly showed that the linear unit is first formed and then the dendritic unit. Plots of mole fraction of individual unit against molecular weight (M_w) and DB against molecular weight (M_w) are constructed. For the first time, it is found that there is a critical molecular weight (the value calculated is between 3200–3500 for the chosen real system) below, which DB is dependent on molecular weight and above which it becomes independent. A new term T+D/L, which has a maximum value of 20 and minimum of 1, characterizing all AB₂‐type hyperbranched polymers in general, has been introduced.     

Beryllium(II) Complexes with Bis(dimethylamino)phosphorylfluoride: A Multinuclear NMR (31P, 19F,and 9Be) Characterization in Solution

Complexes of beryllium chloride and nitrate with (Me₂N)₂P(O)F were characterized in solution by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and in some cases by IR spectroscopy and conductimetry. ³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR spectra were informative of changes associated with complex formation revealing resonances consistent with different species in solution and suggest an equilibrium between these species in both beryllium derivatives. These compounds show narrow lines in the solution ⁹Be NMR spectra, indicative of a highly symmetric environment for beryllium. The presence of the different species was more pronounced in beryllium chloride complexes. The results are compared to those reported in the literature for hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA).

Analysis of F and C NMR spectra of tetrafluorophthalic anhydride and its derivatives

¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectra of perfluorinated compounds (i.e., tetrafluorophthalic anhydride, its hydroxyl- and amino-derivatives, N-pentafluorophenyltetrafluorophthalimide, and hexafluoroindan-1,3-dione) were analysed. Different signals in NMR spectra were assigned based on the analysis of spin-spin coupling constants. All assignments made were further confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of ¹³C chemical shifts and J_C,F coupling constants.     

Effect of hydroxy groups on conformational equilibrium in bis-quinolizidine systems

A review of the 99 ¹³C NMR spectra of 72 hydroxy, methoxy or ester derivatives of alkaloids with the sparteine skeleton has been made. An improved method of determination of the conformer fractions in conformational equilibria in bis-quinolizidine compounds of sparteine type has been used to estimate the energy of the hydroxy group effect at various positions. The effect can be explained by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Characterization of Acacia mangium polyflavonoid tannins by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and CP-MAS C NMR

The MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) and solid state CP-MAS ¹³C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic technique were introduced to characterize Acacia mangium tannin (condensed tannins). The MALDI-TOF MS illustrated a series of peaks corresponding to oligomers of condensed tannins of up to 11 flavonoid units (3200 Da). A. mangium condensed tannins were found to consist predominantly of prorobinetinidin combined with profisetinidin and prodelphinidin. Both the MALDI-TOF mass spectra and the solid state CP-MAS ¹³C NMR indicated that the A. mangium tannins obtained from Kudat, had an almost completely linear structure; In addition, Lembah Beringin, consist of “angular” polymer structure; and Tawau, has included “twice-angular” polymer structures present in oligomers type of up to 7 flavonoid units. The high degree of polymerization of linear, angular type, twice-angular structures and longer oligomer (3200 Da) chains have not been observed in previous studies of condensed tannins. The spectra also indicated that A. mangium tannins are more heavily branched and have higher degree of polymerization (>7.0) compared to commercial mimosa (A. mearnsii) tannin (4.9). Because tannins are phenolic, it was expected that they can be used to replace phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives.     

Di- and triazidation of 3-chlorotetrafluoropyridine

3-Chlorotetrafluoropyridine and pentafluoropyridine readily react with an excess of sodium azide in dimethylsulfoxide at room temperature to give corresponding 2,4,6-triazido-3-chloro-5-fluoropyridine and 2,4,6-triazido-3,5-difluoropyridine in high yields. The reaction of asymmetric 3-chlorotetrafluoropyridine with two equimolar amounts of sodium azide under similar reaction conditions occurs regioselectively to give 2,4-diazido-5-chloro-3,6-difluoropyridine as a sole product. ¹⁹F, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectral characteristics of the triazides suggest that these compounds can be of interest as cross-linking reagents for polymer chemistry and as starting materials for organic synthesis.     

Clathrate and Inclusion Compounds. Part 13 [1]. Vibrational and NMR Spectroscopic Studies of Carboxylic Acid Guests in Urea

Infrared, Raman and solid state¹³C NMR spectra have been recorded for arange of inclusion compounds of urea containingstraight chain aliphatic carboxylic acids(butyric – decanoic) as guests. Inclusioncompounds are not formed with formic, acetic andpropionic acids. Thiourea does not forminclusion compounds with any of the C1 to C10acids. The vibrational and NMR data support theconclusion that the acids are present ashydrogen bonded dimers in the channels of thehost. The alkyl chain ¹³C chemical shiftvalues are very different from those of acidguests in the cavities formed in Dianin'scompound. These suggest that the alkyl chainsare present in the all-trans conformation,although weak bands observed in the spectrum ofthe decanoic acid inclusion compound lend somesupport to suggestions based on MM calculationsthat other conformations might be present.

A comparative study of NMR chemical shifts of sparteine thiolactams and lactams

The ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of the four possible thiolactams of sparteine (1) were recorded and the thiolactam group effects were determined. Most of the effects are greater than those of the lactam group in the oxo analogs. A good linear correlation between the ¹³C chemical shifts of CS and those of CO was found. The effects could help in assignment of the spectra and determination of conformation of thiolactams and related thiocarbonyl compounds.     

Tin(IV) Tetrachloride Complexes with Bis-(Dialkylamino)phosphoryl Fluoride: A Multinuclear (119Sn, 31P, 19F,and 1H) NMR Characterization in Solution

The two octahedral complexes SnCl₄·2(O)PF(NR₂)₂ (R = Me or Et) were prepared from reaction of SnCl₄ with the ligand (R₂N)₂P(O)F in anhydrous CHCl₃. The new adducts have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and multinuclear (¹¹⁹Sn, ³¹P, ¹⁹F, and ¹H) NMR spectroscopy. The NMR data show that the adducts exist in solution as a mixture of cis and trans isomers with markedly different proportions. When compared with previously described hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) and trimethylphosphate (TMPA) analogues, our results indicate that the cis isomer is the predominant species in solution. Low temperature ³¹P and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra show that the compounds partially dissociate in dichloromethane.     

The increment scheme for the prediction of13C NMR chemical shifts in polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins

A topological method for the calculation of¹³C NMR chemical shifts was developed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD). Based on previous results for polychlorinated benzenes and polyhydroxybenzenes, the collective influence of the substituents on carbon chemical shifts is presented as the sum of two-particle increments. The increments only of two new monosubstituted graphs have to be added to those known for PCDD spectra: 1-Cl-DD and 2-Cl-DD. All structural situations in the¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the whole class of 75 PCDD can be covered with a few model compounds. The coefficients of the increment scheme are independent of the change of CDCl₃ for acetone-d₆, so it may be a new reliable criterion for recognizing PCDD by¹³C NMR, in spite of the close resemblance of NMR spectra of aromatic compounds.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

NMR study of the structure of poly(N-benzoyl-8-octanelactam)

The structure of a polymer prepared by the polymerization of N-benzoyl-8-octanelactam initiated with benzoic acid was studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, using S-INEPT, COSY, COLOC, and ROSEY methods, with the aid of model oligomers. Beside the expected N-benzoylated segments, the polymer also contained deacylated segments and about 50% of branching units. The polymer can be characterized as a statistical, highly branched copolymer of N-benzoyl-8-octanelactam and 8-octanelactam. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

1H, 13C,and 14N NMR study of 3-methylfurazans with nitrogen-containing substituents at position 4

3-Methylfurazans with nitrogen-containing substituents at position 4 were studied by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. A correlation between the chemical shifts in ¹³C NMR spectra of these furazans and monosubstituted benzenes with the same substituents was found. The increments for a number of furazan-containing substituents were determined for the first time.     

Annulated benzotetrazine 1,3-dioxides 1. [1,2,5]Oxadiazolo[3,4-f][1,2,3,4]benzotetrazine 2,4,7-and 2,4,9-trioxides

Thermolysis of 6-azido-5-nitro-7-R-benzotetrazine 1,3-dioxides (R = H and Br) gave benzotetrazine 1,3-dioxides annulated with the furoxan ring at the C(5)-C(6) bond. According to the NMR data, these compounds at 297 K are equilibrium mixtures of two isomers with different positions of the N-oxide oxygen atom in the furoxan ring. Full assignment of signals in the ¹³C NMR spectra of the compounds obtained was accomplished. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of (E)-4-Stilbenethiole with Dibromoalkanes

New substituted stilbenes have been prepared by reactions of (E)-4-stilbenethiole with dibromoalkanes. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of new compounds have been assigned unambiguously on the basis of a combination of homo- (¹H?¹H COSY) and heteronuclear (¹ H?¹³C COSY-HETCOR) two-dimensional methods, chemical shifts, and spin-coupling constants.     

New unsymmetrical difluoroaromatic compounds and estimation of their reactivities in nucleophilic substitution

A series of previously unknown unsymmetrical difluoroaromatic compounds, viz., p-fluorobenzoylphenyl(p-fluorophenyl)-substituted imidazoles, pyrazines, and quinoxalines, were synthesized according to multistep procedures with the use of chloral as the key compound. The reactivities of the resulting difluoroaromatic compounds were estimated based on ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectral data and the results of quantum-chemical calculations. The calculated charge densities on the C_ipso atoms correlate linearly with the experimental chemical shifts in the ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectra. Difluoroaromatic compounds, which are characterized by _F > –110 and _C > 163 and by the charge density on the C_ipso atom higher than 0.08 e, are sufficiently activated to be used for the preparation of high-molecular-weight polyethers.     

New approach to stereochemical structure determination of bis-selenium-subsituted alkenes

A new approach to determination of the stereochemical structure of bis-selenium-substituted alkenes using experimental ⁷⁷Se NMR studies and B3LYP/6-311G(d) quantum-chemical calculations is developed. Joint analysis of experimental and calculated data allows assignment of signals in the ⁷⁷Se NMR spectrum. The method was evaluated taking the model compounds (PhSe)HC=C(SePh)R (R = COOMe, CH₂NMe₂, CH₂OH, Ph) as examples.     

H and C NMR spectroscopy of 9-acridinones

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 9-acridinone and its five derivatives dissolved in CDCl₃, CD₃CN and DMSO-d₆ were measured in order to reveal the influence of the constitution of the compounds and features of the solvents on chemical shifts and ¹H-¹H coupling constants. Experimental data were compared with theoretically predicted chemical shifts, on the GIAO/DFT level of theory, for DFT (B3LYP)/6-31G^∗∗ optimized geometries of molecules—also for four other 9-acridinones. This comparison helped to ascribe resonance signals in the spectra to relevant atoms and enabled revelation of relations between chemical shifts and physicochemical features of the compounds. It was found that experimentally or theoretically determined ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts of selected atoms correlate with theoretically predicted values of dipole moments of the molecules, as well as bond lengths, atomic partial charges and energies of HOMO.     

Solid-state NMR studies of pharmaceutical solids in polymer matrices

Biodegradable drug-delivery systems can be formulated to release drug for hours to years and have been used for the controlled release of medications in animals and humans. An important consideration in developing a drug-delivery matrix is knowledge of the long-term stability of the form of the drug and matrix after formulation and any changes that might occur to the drug throughout the delivery process. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is an effective technique for studying the state of both the drug and the matrix. Two systems that have been studied using solid-state NMR spectroscopy are presented. The first system studied involved bupivacaine, a local anesthetic compound, which was incorporated into microspheres composed of tristearin and encapsulated using a solid protein matrix. Solid-state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the solid forms of bupivacaine in their bulk form or as incorporated into the tristearin/protein matrix. Bupivacaine free base and bupivacaine-HCl have very different solid-state NMR spectra, indicating that the molecules of these compounds pack in different crystal forms. In the tristearin matrix, the drug form could be determined at levels as low as 1:100 (w/w), and the form of bupivacaine was identified upon loading into the tristearin/protein matrix. In the second case, the possibility of using solid-state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy to characterize biomolecules lyophilized within polymer matrices is evaluated by studying uniformly ¹³C-labeled asparagine (Asn) in 1:250 (w/w) formulations with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). This work shows the capability of solid-state NMR spectroscopy to study interactions between the amino acid and the polymer matrix for synthetic peptides and peptidomimetics containing selective ¹³C labeling at the Asn residue.
