1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopic characterization of unexpected degradation products of the nifedipine analogue bis(2‐cyanoethyl) 2,6‐dimethyl‐4‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐1,4‐dihydro‐3,5‐pyridinedicarboxylate

In the course of saponification experiments with bis(2‐cyanoethyl) 2,6‐dimethyl‐4‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐1,4‐dihydro‐3,5‐pyridinedicarboxylate ( 1 ), an analogue of the calcium channel blocker nifedipine, three unexpected degradation products were isolated. The compounds were identified as 3‐(2‐acetamido‐1‐carboxy‐1‐propenyl)‐1‐hydroxy‐2‐indolecarboxylic acid ( 3 ), 9‐hydroxy‐1,3‐dimethyl‐β‐carboline‐4‐carboxylic acid ( 4 ) and 6‐hydroxy‐2,4‐dimethyl‐5‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydrobenzo[c][2,7]naphthyridine‐1‐carboxylic acid ( 6 ). The structures of these compounds were deduced from one‐ and two‐dimensional ¹H, ¹³C and natural abundance ¹⁵N NMR experiments (¹H,¹H‐COSY, gs‐HSQC, gs‐HMBC, ¹⁵N gs‐HMBC), and corroborated by comparison of their NMR data with the respective data for structurally similar compounds.

1H and 13C chemical shifts for acridines: Part XVIII. 9‐Chloroacridine and 9‐(N‐allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives

The¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances for acridine derivatives 9‐substituted with chloro, allylamino and propargylamino groups were completely assigned using a concerted application of gs‐COSY, gs‐HMQC and gs‐HMBC experiments. 9‐(N‐Allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives present amino–imino tautomerism including a large broadening of ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals at room temperature. To obtain suitable resolution, therefore, these latter compounds were studied at 370 K in DMSO‐d6 solutions and showed a complete shift towards the imino tautomers.

One‐ and two‐dimensional NMR characterization of N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate copolymers

N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate (V/M) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical bulk polymerization using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The copolymer composition of these copolymers was calculated from ¹H NMR spectra. The radical reactivity ratios for N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (V) and methyl acrylate (M) were r_V = 0.09, r_M = 0.44. These reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of V and M were determined using the Kelen–Tudos and nonlinear least‐squares error‐in‐variable methods. The ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of these copolymers overlapped and were complex. The complete spectral assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra were done with distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer and two dimensional ¹³C‐¹H heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopic experiments. The two‐dimensional ¹H‐¹H homonuclear total correlation spectroscopic NMR spectrum showed the various bond interactions, thus inferring the possible structure of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1H‐, 13C‐, and 15N‐NMR chemical shifts for selected glucosides and ribosides of aromatic cytokinins

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances of 16 purine glucosides were assigned by a combination of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR experiments, including gs‐COSY, gs‐HSQC, and gs‐HMBC, in order to characterize the effect of substituent and the position of glucose unit on the NMR chemical shifts. In addition, ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts for selected derivatives were investigated by using ¹H? ¹⁵N chemical shift correlation techniques. To map the influence of sugar moiety on the directly bonded nitrogen atom, selected N⁹‐glucosides and their ribose analogs were compared. Characteristic long‐range ¹H? ¹⁵N coupling constants, measured by using ¹H? ¹⁵N gradient‐selected single‐quantum multiple bond correlation (GSQMBC), are also reported and discussed. All compounds investigated here belong to cytokinins, an important group of plant hormones. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Heterocyclic analogs of xanthiones: 5,6‐fused 3‐methyl‐1‐phenylpyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H) thiones—synthesis and NMR (1H, 13C, 15N) data

Various [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐thiones were synthesized in high yields by treatment of the corresponding [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐ones with Lawesson's reagent. Detailed NMR spectroscopic studies were undertaken of the title compounds. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H) was achieved by the combined application of various one‐ and two‐dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of most ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ, J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Isolation and spectral study of 4‐methyl‐6,8‐dihydroxy‐7H‐benz[de]anthracen‐7‐one

4‐Methyl‐6,8‐dihydroxy‐7H‐benz[de]anthracen‐7‐one was isolated from the sap of Aloe by column chromatography. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing two‐dimensional ¹H‐detected heteronuclear one‐bond (HMQC) and multiple‐bond (HMBC) chemical shift correlation experiments together with ¹H–¹H COSY and DEPT techniques. These techniques were also valuable in assigning the protons and carbons of those benzanthrone compounds which were previously incompletely reported because of the overlap of proton signals. The molecular structure was elucidated by 2D NMR analysis. The spectral properties (MS, IR and UV) are also presented. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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.

Reaction of group 12 metal dihalides in ethanolic media with 2‐acetylpyridine ⁴N‐phenylthiosemicarbazone ( H4PL ) and 2‐acetylpyridine‐N‐oxide ⁴N‐phenylthiosemicarbazone ( H4PLO ) afforded the compounds [M(H4PL)X₂] (X = Cl, Br, M = Zn, Cd, Hg; X = I, M = Zn, Cd) ( 1–8 ), [Hg(4PL)I]₂ ( 9 ) and [M(H4PLO)X₂] (X = Cl, Br, I, M = Zn, Cd, Hg) ( 10–18 ). H4PL , H4PLO and their complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and by IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy (and the cadmium complexes by ¹¹³Cd NMR spectroscopy), and H4PL , H4PLO , ( 5 · DMSO) and ( 9 ) were additionally studied by X‐ray diffraction. H4PL is N,N,S‐tridentate in all its complexes, including 9 , in which it is deprotonated, and H4PLO is in all cases O,N,S‐tridentate. In all the complexes, the metal atoms are pentacoordinate and the coordination polyhedra are redistorted tetragonal pyramids. In assays of antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Paecilomyces variotii, the only compound to show any activity was [Hg(H4PLO)I₂] ( 18 ).

1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectral analysis of substituted 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidines

The NMR spectroscopic data of a series of thirty‐four 3‐acylpyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidinium salts are analyzed, which were prepared as either perchlorates or chlorides. Methyl group substituted 3‐aroyltetrahydropyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidines with the methyl substituent in positions 6, 8 and 9 as well as both in positions 6 and 8 were investigated bearing various aroyl substituents. Unequivocal assignment of all resonances was achieved via two‐dimensional ¹H,¹H‐COSY measurements, ¹H,¹³C and ¹H,¹⁵N HSQC as well as HMBC experiments, and important diagnostic CH and NH couplings in the heteroaromatic ring system are evaluated. The influence of the methyl substituents was analyzed on the proton, carbon and nitrogen shifts. A significant effect of the counter ion on some chemical shifts of the nuclei under discussion of the pyridopyrimidines is found, allowing the indirect detection of the anion, which is confirmed by direct measurement of the ³⁵Cl nucleus of the perchlorates.
