Complete assignment of (1)H and (13)C NMR data of dihydroxyflavone derivatives

Six flavone derivatives were studied. Previously reported NMR data of three of these derivatives were corrected and the NMR data for the other three derivatives not studied previously were completely assigned on the basis of the basic 1D and 2D NMR experiments and molecular modeling.     

Complete NMR signal assignments of flavonol derivatives

Common substitution positions of flavonols are at C-5 and C-7; 6-substituted flavonol derivatives are rarely found in natural sources. Here, we report complete assignments of 1H and 13C chemical shifts of eight flavonol derivatives including four 6-substituted flavonols.

Ten 3‐methylflavone derivatives were studied. Previously reported NMR data of some derivatives were corrected and/or completed, including the complete assignment of the two known natural derivatives. The complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignments were achieved by combination of one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional NMR experiments. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C-NMR data of hydroxyflavone derivatives

Many hydroxyflavone derivatives have been found in nature and shown to have many biological functions. Because their function is changed by the position and number of hydroxyl group, their structural identification is a fundamental and necessary step for understanding their functions. In the present study, the complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments were presented for 6 hydroxyflavones, and NMR data of additional 14 hydroxyflavone derivatives were compared with those of the 6 hydroxyflavones. In addition, the partially incorrect NMR data of two of the dihydroxyflavones whose NMR data were previously reported were corrected.     

Complete NMR data of methoxylated cis- and trans-stilbenes as well as 1,2-diphenylethanes

Resveratrol is a polyphenol isolated from many natural sources including grapes, mulberries, eucalyptus, spruce, lilies, and peanuts. The hydroxyl groups in polyphenols can be substituted with various functional groups, allowing production of multiple derivatives. NMR spectroscopy is used to identify new derivatives. Since the complete NMR data of the known derivatives can be useful for identification of the newly isolated derivatives, here, we report the synthesis of 14 methoxylated stilbenes and four 1,2-diphenylethanes and their NMR data.     

Secondary metabolites from Paronychia argentea

Two new oleanane saponins (1 and 2) and one new flavonol glycoside (3) together with six known flavonoids, were isolated from the aerial parts of Paronychia argentea. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments including 1D-TOCSY, DQF-COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectroscopy, as well as ESI-MS analysis.     

Regioselective synthesis and structural elucidation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives using 1D and 2D NMR spectral techniques

Regioselective synthesis of 2-[1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethoxy]-benzaldehyde derivatives was achieved by [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 2-(prop)-2-ynyloxy-benzaldehyde derivatives with phenacyl azide. The regiochemistry and the spectral assignments of the synthesized triazole derivatives were studied using both 1D and 2D NMR spectral techniques in solution.     

Multinuclear magnetic resonance study of the structure and tautomerism of azide and iminophosphorane derivatives of chloropyridazines

Some azido‐ and iminophosphorane derivatives of 3,6‐dichloro‐ and 3,4,5,6‐tetrachloropyridazine were synthesized and studied by means of NMR measurements. Based on multinuclear data (chemical shifts, coupling constants) for compounds containing the azide group, no potentially possible tetrazole–azide equilibrium can be observed, even under acidic conditions. An unusual substitution of a chlorine atom (in position 4) of tetrachloropyridazine in the reaction with hydrazine was demonstrated by NMR measurements of two newly synthesized compounds containing azido‐ and iminophosphorane groups. Using multinuclear magnetic resonance data, the sites of ethylation and protonation of azido‐ and iminophosphorane derivatives of chloropyridazines were established. In the case of the tetrazolopyridazines, ethylation occurs at the N1′ and N2′ atoms, whereas for monocyclic compounds it takes place at the N1 and/or N2 atoms of the pyridazine ring. Preferred sites of protonation are the N1′ atom of the tetrazole ring and the N1 atom of the pyridazine ring. Moreover, the structures of potassium salts of 6‐(3‐cyano‐1‐triazeno)tetrazolo[1,5‐b] pyridazine and its amido derivative were established using NMR data, especially ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts.

17O NMR studies on (E)-3-arylidenechromanone and -flavanone derivatives

¹⁷O NMR data for some 3-arylidenechromanones and -flavanones are discussed in terms of mesomeric and steric substituent interactions. The transmission of long-range substituent effects was studied. ¹⁷O NMR chemical shifts were correlated with Hammett σ_p⁺ values for 4′-substituted derivatives.

NMR elucidation of a novel (S)-pentacyclo-undecane bis-(4-phenyloxazoline) ligand and related derivatives

The NMR elucidation of a novel ligand (S)-pentacyclo-undecane bis-(4-phenyloxazoline) and related pentacyclo-undecane (PCU) derivatives is reported. Two-dimensional NMR proved to be a powerful technique in overcoming the difficulties associated with the elucidation of these compounds when only one-dimensional NMR data is utilized. A chiral substituent was introduced to both 'arms' of the PCU skeleton to produce derivatives 1-3. These derivatives display C(1) symmetry with all thecage atoms being nonequivalent. Owing to overlapping of peaks in the (1)H spectra, identification of these diastereomeric protons was very difficult. The (13)C spectra gave rise to clear splitting of the nonequivalent carbons. This is unusual compared to similar PCU derivatives with chiral substituents as splitting of all the diastereomeric cage carbons has not yet been reported. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) correlations of derivatives 1-3 confirm the different conformations of the molecule in which the side 'arms' occupy different orientations with respect to cage moiety.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for ten phenylpiperazine derivatives

Ten phenylpiperazine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The first complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts for these phenylpiperazine derivatives were achieved by means of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, including (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC and HMBC spectra.     

1H and 13C NMR assignments of abietane diterpenes from Aegiphila lhotzkyana

An NMR study of one new and several known abietane diterpenes isolated from the roots of Aegiphila lhotzkyana is described. In addition to 1D NMR, several 2D shift‐correlated NMR pulse sequences (¹H–¹H‐COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC) were used to establish all the structures, and unambiguously perform the ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift assignments of the new natural diterpene and three derivatives, the NMR data for which have not been reported previously. Revision of current data assignment for teuvincenone H is also suggested. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C spectral assignment of 2(1H)-pyridone derivatives

1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)pyridone derivatives were fully assigned by a combination of one- and two- dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).     

Synthesis and complete assignment of NMR data of 20 chalcones

Chalcones, intermediates in flavonoid biosynthesis, can exhibit antibacterial, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory properties. Chalcones contain two benzene rings and both hydroxylated and methoxylated analogs are frequently produced by hydroxylases and O-methyltransferases in plant biosynthetic pathways. Assignments of NMR peaks in the spectra of hydroxylated and/or methoxylated chalcones can help in identifying novel chalcone derivatives isolated from natural sources by referencing these data against NMR spectra obtained from known chalcones. We report here the syntheses of 20 chalcones and complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of some third-generation cephalosporins, their synthetic intermediaries and reaction byproducts

(13)C NMR spectroscopic data for 25 cephalosporin derivatives were assigned by combination of one- and two-dimensional experiments. The effect of the substitution at C-3, C-7 and C-4 acid group positions on the chemical shifts of the cephem nucleus is discussed.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinoline 3-substituted derivatives have been fully assigned by the combination of one- and two dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).     

Complete NMR spectral assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides from Picris conyzoides

Complete (1)H and (13)C NMR signal assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, derivatives of 11β,13-dihydrolactucin, isolated from roots of Picris conyzoides, were achieved by one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments, allowing the correction of previously published data for cichorioside B and the structure elucidation of its new ester with 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid. In addition, seven known sesquiterpene lactones and three phenolic compounds were isolated from the plant material.     

Complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data of pravastatin derivatives

The complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR data of 27 pravastatin derivatives are presented. Assignment was achieved by use of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (selective 1D NOE, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC). Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for trypanocidal eremantholide C oxide derivatives

The chemical transformations of eremantholide C (1), a trypanocidal sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Lychnophora trichocarpha Spreng., gave five new oxide derivatives: 3'-hydroxyeremantholide C (2), 1'-formyleremantholide C (3), 1'-carboxyeremantholide C (4), 1'-carbomethoxyeremantholide C (5) and sodium 1'-carboxylate of eremantholide C (6). The (1)H and (13)C NMR data of all these derivatives were assigned based on 1D and 2D techniques. The derivatives were evaluated against Y and CL strains of Trypanosoma cruzi. All of them were inactive against the Y strain. Compounds 2 and 5 displayed 100% activity on the CL strain while compounds 4 and 6 were partially active on the CL strain.     

Head-to-tail Aggregates of Sulfonatomethylated Calix[4]resorcinarene in Aqueous Solutions

Two amphiphilic water-soluble sulfonatomethylated calix[4]resorcinarene derivatives were studied by various ¹H NMR techniques (¹H NMR titration, 2D NOESY, NMR diffusion measurements). The derivative with methyl moieties at the lower rim (1) was found to be non-aggregated in the range 0–10 mM in aqueous solutions. Lengthening of the lower rim substituent to pentyl (2) results in self-aggregation of 2 in aqueous solutions with the aggregation number varying from 3 at 1 mM to 20 at 10 mM. The 2D NOESY ¹H NMR spectroscopy data reveal an unusual head-to-tail packing mode in aqueous solutions, resulting from the cooperative effect of weak hydrophobic interactions. Binding of guests (tetramethylammonium and N-methylpyridinium) results in additional stabilization of the aggregates whilst the head-to-tail packing mode of the aggregate is retained.
