Assay of Aspirin,Ethenzamide and Caffeine Mixture by 13C NMR Spectrometry

¹³C FT NMR method of gated decoupling without NOE was applied in the quantitative analysis of aspirin, ethenzamide and caffeine mixture (antipyretic). Spectra were obtained in pyridine-d⁵, containing anisole as an internal standard and chromium(III) acetylacetonate as a paramagnetic relaxation reagent, The results were generally satisfactory.     

High resolution 13C spectroscopy by Fourier transform NMR. Thiete sulfone

The high resolution ¹³C NMR spectrum of thiete sulfone (obtained without wide-band ¹H decoupling) indicates that ring strain and re-hybridization in this small ring compound are significant. Pulsed-Fourier operation allows rapid determination of spectral parameters. Experimental acquisition time by pulsed NMR without ¹H decoupling is comparable to the experimental time required for swept ¹³C NMR with complete ¹H decoupling.     

13C NMR spectroscopic study of epoxidized 1,4-polyisoprene and 1,4-polybutadiene

Partly epoxidized cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes and cis-and trans-1,4-polybutadienes were prepared, and their ¹³C NMR spectra examined. All the prominent resonances in the spectra of the epoxidized polymers were assigned by using lanthanide shift reagent and off-resonance decoupling experiments. A ¹³C NMR method of quantitative assessment of the epoxide content was developed following determination of relative spin-lattice relaxation time (T₁) and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) parameters of the various carbons in the epoxidized polyisoprenes and polybutadienes.     

Urea-formaldehyde resins. III. Constitutional characterization by 13C fourier transform NMR spectroscopy

¹³C Fourier transform NMR has been used to characterize a random chemical structure of ureaformaldehyde resins. By comparison of ¹³C chemical shifts with synthesized standard derivatives from urea and formaldehyde the analysis of reacted formaldehyde was completed. In a ¹³C spectrum of resin each signal due to reacted formaldehyde (e.g., methylol group, methylene group, and dimethylene ether group) was isolated. Measurement of a ¹³C spectrum of resin by the gated decoupling of proton without nuclear Overhauser effect made a quantitative analysis of reacted formaldehyde possible. In this quantitative analysis a ¹³C quantity of carbonyl groups in urea residue can be directly compared with that of each combined formaldehyde.     

The assignment of the 1H and the 13C NMR chemical shifts of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam

The assignment of the signals in the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam is difficult for the signal pairs C-2 and C-4, C-1 and C-3, (C-1)? H, (C-2)? CH₃ and (C-4)? CH₃. The ¹³C NMR spectrum recorded under gated decoupling conditions provide long-range couplings which make possible an unambiguous assignment of the ¹³C NMR signal pairs. Application of the ¹H CW off-resonance decoupling technique in recording the ¹³C NMR spectra enables the assignment information from the ¹³C NMR spectrum to be transferred to the ¹H NMR spectrum.     

Suitability of Different 13C Solid-state NMR Techniques in the Characterization of Humic Acids

Qualitative and quantitative analyses of humic acids (HAs) with five different ¹³C solid-state NMR techniques were assessed using HAs of various origins and locations. The NMR techniques compared are: (1) direct polarization/magic angle spinning (DP/MAS) at 13 kHz, (2) conventional cross polarization (CP)/MAS at 5 kHz, (3) ramp-CP/MAS at 8 kHz, (4) CP/total sideband suppression (TOSS) at 4.5 kHz, and (5) DP/MAS corrected by CP/spin-lattice relaxation with TOSS. The spectra from the five techniques were first compared qualitatively. Then, each spectrum was divided into eight regions for quantitative evaluation. DP/MAS spectra were used as quantitative references. Ramp-CP/MAS and CP/TOSS spectra gave consistently better results than those of the conventional CP/MAS spectra at a ¹³C frequency of 75 MHz, which were incorrect due to spinning sidebands. CP/MAS at low magnetic fields (22.6 and 50.6 MHz ¹³C frequency) indicated improved integration results but lower resolution. Correction factors calculated by comparison with DP/MAS will be useful to convert the non-quantitative peak areas in the CP/TOSS and ramp-CP/MAS spectra into more quantitative results.     

Quantitative Determination of Resin Loading in Solid-Phase Organic Synthesis Using (13)C MAS NMR

The use of quantitative carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((13)C NMR) for the determination of resin loadings has been investigated. Magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra have been obtained for solvent-swollen resins on a conventional 7 mm CP/MAS probe using the two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) proton decoupling sequence. Loadings of resin-bound organic compounds were evaluated via addition of tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane as reference or using the carbon resonances of the polymeric resin material as an internal standard. Results for several functionalized Wang and trityl resins are consistent with those obtained using well-established analytical methods. The (13)C NMR method has interesting applications in the field of solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS), since no functional group acting as a support for the attachment of a quantifiable chromophore must be available in the material of interest.     

Quantitative Monitoring of Solid-Phase Synthesis Using Gated Decoupling 13C NMR Spectroscopy with a 13C-Enriched Protecting Group and an Internal Standard in the Synthesis of Sialyl LewisX Tetrasaccharide

Just tagging along. For the nondestructive quantitative monitoring of solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis a ¹³C-enriched tag (*) was incorporated in the linker and a ¹³C-enriched protecting group (⧫) was included in the growing molecule. By integration of the signals in a gated decoupling ¹³C NMR experiment the reaction progress can be monitored. This method was demonstrated with the synthesis of sialyl Lewis^x tetrasaccharide on a Tentagel support ((P)). Bn=benzyl, PEG=poly(ethylene glycol).     

Complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data for arylnaphthalene lignan lactones

In this work we describe the complete (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses of three arylnaphtalene lignan lactones (taiwanin C, 4-methyl dehydroretrodendrin and justicidin B) using modern NMR techniques such as gCOSY, nonedited gHSQC, gHMBC and NOE experiments. Complete assignment and homonuclear hydrogen coupling constant measurements were performed.     

Solid-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides and on-resin quantitative monitoring using gated decoupling (13)C NMR

A general strategy for solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis capable of nondestructive quantitative monitoring has been developed. The synthesis was carried out on TentaGel using thioglycosides as glycosylating agents and dimethylthiomethylsulfonium triflate as the activator. An acylsulfonamide linker was introduced to cleave the oligosaccharide from the resin. The solid-phase reactions were monitored quantitatively by using the inverse gated decoupling technique of (13)C NMR, where two (13)C-enriched markers were used to monitor the reactions: one was (13)C-enriched glycine incorporated as a part of the linker and as an internal standard, and the other was a (13)C-enriched acetyl group used as a protecting group of the glycosylation reagent. A representative synthesis of sialyl Lewis X branched tetrasaccharide was demonstrated.     

Efficient CH-group selection and identification in 13C solid-state NMR by dipolar DEPT and 1H chemical-shift filtering

A new spectral-editing technique for solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), based principally on the different dipolar-dephasing properties of CH and CH(2) multiple-quantum (MQ) coherence, yields pure C-H spectra with overall efficiencies of up to 14%. The selection is based on dephasing of methylene heteronuclear MQ coherence by the second proton and can be considered essentially as a solid-state, slow-magic-angle-spinning version of the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) experiment. A short dipolar transfer and inverse gated decoupling suppress quaternary-carbon resonances, and T(1)-filtering reduces methyl signals. Applications to amorphous polymers with long, flexible sidegroups demonstrate excellent suppression of the signals of partially mobile methylene groups, consistent with simulations and superior to existing methods. CH selection in various model compounds and a humic acid confirms the robust nature and good sensitivity of the technique. Distinction of NCH and CCH groups, which have overlapping (13)C chemical-shift ranges, is achieved by combining dipolar DEPT with (1)H isotropic-chemical-shift filtering. In the humic acid, this permits unequivocal assignment of the methine resonance near 53 ppm to NCH groups.

Carbon-13 NMR Studies of 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ 2-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and 3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones

The ¹³C NMR spectra of twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-l,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones and twelve 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-l,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones have been measured and assigned by means of proton-noise decoupling and DEPT-experiments. The coupling constants were determined by means of gated decoupling, and NOE effects were observed by comparison of proton-decoupled and inverse-gated decoupled spectra. Differences shown by the oxadiazoline and the oxadiazole rings and the substitution effects are discussed.     

Assignment of the 13C chemical shifts of ethidium bromide and analogs in D2O solution

The ¹³C resonances of ethidum bromide (1), dimidium bromide (2) and 3,8-diamino-5-methylphenanthridinium chloride (3) in D₂O solution have been assigned. Assignments were made using fully coupled spectra, spectra obtained from a selected 180°-τ-90° pulse sequence in conjunction with gated irradiation to obtain NOE intensification, selective proton decoupling, chemical shift arguments and by noting the effect of pD on the ¹³C chemical shifts of 1 and 3.     

The 13C NMR spectrum of coumarandione

Quantitative analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance with fourier transform II?13C resonance

Quantitative analyses have been carried out by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy using Fourier transformation. The Overhauser effect, due to the broad band decoupling of protons, has been suppressed using the two existing methods (gated decoupling and paramagnetic species), and results from each are compared. Both require a calibration curve, and the second method, when applied to aromatic substances, needs the ratio between the sample to be analysed and the paramagnetic species to be less than a certain value. Experiments have been made with pure products and blends of pure products containing both saturated and aromatic carbons. The precision of the results is given.

A new method based on the combination of selective proton decoupling and INEPT is explained in detail. This technique, named selective INEPT (SEL-INEPT), is a useful and sensitive method for the ¹³C NMR assignment of methylene carbons with non-equivalent protons. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of monensin has been analysed by the application of this technique.

Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments of clerodane diterpenoids of Salvia splendens

Unambiguous and complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for five clerodane diterpenes, four of them isolated from Salvia splendens (salviarin, splendidin and splenolides A and B) and one obtained by acetylation of splenolide A, are presented. The assignments are based on 2D shift-correlated [1H,1H-COSY, 1H,13C-gHSQC-1J(C,H) and 1H,13C-gHMBC-nJ(C,H) (n=2 and 3)] and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments. The conformation of the rings of these compounds is supported by the 3J(H,H) values and NOE results.     

Purity analysis of hydrogen cyanide, cyanogen chloride and phosgene by quantitative (13)C NMR spectroscopy

Hydrogen cyanide, cyanogen chloride and phosgene are produced in tremendously large quantities today by the chemical industry. The compounds are also particularly attractive to foreign states and terrorists seeking an inexpensive mass-destruction capability. Along with contemporary warfare agents, therefore, the US Army evaluates protective equipment used by warfighters and domestic emergency responders against the compounds, and requires their certification at > or = 95 carbon atom % before use. We have investigated the (13)C spin-lattice relaxation behavior of the compounds to develop a quantitative NMR method for characterizing chemical lots supplied to the Army. Behavior was assessed at 75 and 126 MHz for temperatures between 5 and 15 degrees C to hold the compounds in their liquid states, dramatically improving detection sensitivity. T(1) values for cyanogen chloride and phosgene were somewhat comparable, ranging between 20 and 31 s. Hydrogen cyanide values were significantly shorter at 10-18 s, most likely because of a (1)H--(13)C dipolar contribution to relaxation not possible for the other compounds. The T(1) measurements were used to derive relaxation delays for collecting the quantitative (13)C data sets. At 126 MHz, only a single data acquisition with a cryogenic probehead gave a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding that necessary for certifying the compounds at > or = 95 carbon atom % and 99% confidence. Data acquired at 75 MHz with a conventional probehead, however, required > or = 5 acquisitions to reach this certifying signal-to-noise ratio for phosgene, and >/= 12 acquisitions were required for the other compounds under these same conditions. In terms of accuracy and execution time, the NMR method rivals typical chromatographic methods.
