Two-dimensional spectroscopy with parallel acquisition of 1H-X and 19F-X correlations

Two-dimensional NMR spectra correlating both (1)H and (19)F nuclei with either (13)C or (15)N, are recorded at the same time, using a 600-MHz broadband radio frequency probe feeding independent (1)H and (19)F receiver channels. This technique, known as parallel acquisition NMR spectroscopy (PANSY), speeds up multidimensional NMR and is compatible with other fast-acquisition schemes. The method is illustrated with single-bond (HSQC) and multiple-bond (HMBC) experiments on 2-bromophenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-methylpyrazole, giving simultaneous (1)H-X and (19)F-X correlation spectra (X = (13) C or (15)N).     

Heteronuclear two-bond correlation: suppressing heteronuclear three-bond or higher NMR correlations while enhancing two-bond correlations even for vanishing 2J(CH)

A novel two-dimensional NMR pulse sequence, H2BC, for long-range correlation of 1H and 13C nuclei is presented. The experiment has several attractive features compared to the widely used HMBC experiment, for example, (a) typically strong enhancement of correlations over two bonds while suppressing those over more bonds, that is, resolving ambiguities in standard HMBC spectra and showing two-bond correlations not present in HMBC spectra, (b) independence of long-range 1H-13C coupling constants, (c) full homo- and heteronuclear decoupling in the indirect dimension and heteronuclear decoupling in the acquisition dimension, (d) pure 2D absorption peak shapes, and (e) a pulse sequence duration significantly shorter than that of HMBC. The experiment is quite complementary to HMBC and does not effect correlations to quaternary carbons that must be obtained by HMBC.     

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 (n)J(H,C) in DMSO-d(6) at 30 degrees 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 (n)J(F,C) (n = 1 - 4) are reported.     

Complete assignments of the 1H and 13C resonances of 40-epi-(N1-tetrazolyl)-rapamycin and revised 13C assignments for rapamycin

Complete 1H and 13C assignments of 40-epi-(N1-tetrazolyl)-rapamycin (ABT-578) in DMSO-d6 were made using 1H, 13C, DQCOSY, ROESY, TOCSY, HSQC and HMBC spectra. Comparing the assignments with those of rapamycin showed that in the published 13C assignments of rapamycin in DMSO-d6 the shifts for C-12 and C-42 have been interchanged, as well as the shifts for C-1 and C-8.     

Measurement of 1J(Ni,Calpha(i)), 1J(Ni,C'i-1), 2J(Ni,Calpha(i-1)), 2J(H(N)i,C'i-1) and 2J(H(N)i,Calpha(i)) values in 13C/15N-labeled proteins

Use of partial or selective (13)C/(15)N labeling of specific amino acid residues in a given protein to measure the values of (1)J((15)N(i),(13)C(alpha) (i)), (2)J((1)H(N),(13)C(alpha) (i)), (2)J((15)N(i),(13)C(alpha) (i-1)), (1)J((15)N(i),(13)C'(i-1)) and (2)J((1)H(N),(13)C'(i-1)) is described. This was achieved by recording a sensitivity-enhanced 2D [(15)N-(1)H] HSQC experiment, without mixing the spin states of C(alpha) and C' during the course of entire experiment.     

Characterisation of uniformly 13C, 15N labelled bacteriochlorophyll a and bacteriopheophytin a in solution and in solid state: complete assignment of the 13C, 1H and 15N chemical shifts

In this investigation we report a complete assignment of (13)C, (1)H and (15)N solution and solid state chemical shifts of two bacterial photosynthetic pigments, bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a and bacteriopheophytin (BPheo) a. Uniform stable-isotope labelling strategies were developed and applied to biosynthetic preparation of photosynthetic pigments, namely uniformly (13)C, (15)N labelled BChl a and BPheo a. Uniform stable-isotope labelling with (13)C, (15)N allowed performing the assignment of the (13)C, (15)N and (1)H resonances. The photosynthetic pigments were isolated from the biomass of photosynthetic bacteria Rhodopseudomonas palustris 17001 grown in uniformly (13)C (99%) and (15)N (98%) enriched medium. Both pigments were characterised by NMR in solution (acetone-d(6)) and by MAS NMR in solid state and their NMR resonances were recorded and assigned through standard liquid 2D (13)C-(13)C COSY, (1)H-(13)C HMQC, (1)H-(15)N HMBC and solid 2D (13)C-(13)C RFDR, (1)H-(13)C FSLG HETCOR and (1)H-(15)N HETCOR correlation techniques at 600 MHz and 750 MHz. The characterisation of pigments is of interest from biochemical to pharmaceutical industries, photosynthesis and food research.

Simultaneous measurement of N?H and Cα?Hα coupling constants in proteins

We present a pulse sequence for the simultaneous measurement of N? H and Cα? Hα couplings in double‐labeled proteins from 2D spectra. The proposed sequence, a modification of the HN(CO)CA experiment, combines the J‐modulation method and the IPAP scheme. The couplings can be readily retrieved from a series of 2D ¹⁵N? ¹H correlation spectra, differing in the time point at which a ¹H 180° pulse is applied. This induces an intensity modulation of the ¹⁵N? ¹H correlation peaks with the Cα? Hα coupling. The Cα? Hα coupling is then obtained by fitting the observed intensities to the modulation equation. The N? H coupling is measured in each member of the set from peak‐to‐peak separations in the IPAP subspectra. The pulse sequence is experimentally verified with a sample of ¹⁵N/¹³C‐enriched ubiquitin. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structure,Spectral Properties,and Complexing Ability of 1-Phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one Ferrocenoyl Hydrazone

A potentially tridentate coordinating chelating ligand system, 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one ferrocenoylhydrazone, has been synthesized. Structure of the obtained ligand and its equilibrium forms in the solution has been elucidated from the data of elemental analysis, IR, electronic absorption and NMR (1H, 13C, and 15N NMR including 1H–1H COSY, 1H–1H NOESY, 1H–13C HSQC, 1H–13C HMBC, and 1H–15N HMBC 2D correlation techniques) spectroscopy as well as quantum chemistry methods. The reactions of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one ferrocenoylhydrazone with selected transition metal ions have afforded metal chelates, their composition, the mode of coordination, and type of tautomeric form of the coordinated ligand being dependent on the metal nature.     

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 them the 4-nitro group exerts the highest influence on the shielding effect of the N-oxide functionality. Experimental 1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts and GIAO/DFT theoretical calculations are consistent with each other and supported by the reactivity on nucleophilic substitution, the UV spectral and the dipole moment data.

¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts of 10 substituted pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines were assigned based on DQF ¹H, ¹H COSY, PFG ¹H, ¹³C HMQC and PFG ¹H,X (X = ¹³C and ¹⁵N) HMBC experiments and on literature data. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation of alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds from beta-lapachone derivatives and other 1,2-naphthoquinones: use of the 2D NMR 1H,15N and 1H,13C HMBC techniques in assigning regiochemistry

The assignment of the diazo site in products of the reaction of p-toluenesulfonylhydrazine with beta-lapachone, 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-5,6-dione, and other 1,2-naphthoquinones in methanol solution at room temperature has been accomplished using 1H,13C HMBC and 1H,15N HMBC NMR experiments. Only one diazo-naphthalenone product was isolated in yields ranging from 50-100% from each reaction. The site of diazo substitution of beta-lapachone and derivatives is the 1-position, in contrast to substitution at the 2-position in 4-MeO-1,2-naphthoquinone. Steric factors, rather than electronic factors, control the reaction site. Along with 2-diazo-1(2H)-naphthalenone, an additional product isolated from the reaction of p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide with 1,2-naphthoquinone was 2-diazo-4-hydroxy-1(2H)-naphthalenone. Confirmation of the formation of 6-diazo-2,2-dimethyl-2,3,4,6-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[h]cromen-5-one, obtained from beta-lapachone, was achieved using single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Determination of natural abundance 15N-1H and 13C-1H dipolar couplings of molecules in a strongly orienting media using two-dimensional inverse experiments

NMR spectra of molecules oriented in liquid crystals provide homo- and heteronuclear dipolar couplings and thereby the geometry of the molecules. Several inequivalent dilute spins such as 13C and 15N coupled to protons form different coupled spin systems in their natural abundance and appear as satellites in the proton spectra. Identification of transitions belonging to each spin system is essential to determine heteronuclear dipolar couplings, which is a formidable task. In the present study, using 15N-1H and 13C-1H HSQC, and HMQC experiments we have selectively detected spectra of each rare spin coupled to protons. The 15N-1H and 13C-1H dipolar couplings have been determined in the natural abundance of 13C and 15N for the molecules pyrazine, pyrimidine and pyridazine oriented in a thermotropic liquid crystal.

1H and 13C NMR assignments for four triterpenoid saponins from Albizziae cortex

Four triterpenoid saponins were isolated from Albizziae cortex, and a complete assignment of their (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra was carried out using 1D and 2D NMR ((1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and HSQC-TOCSY) methods. Their (1)H NMR assignments were reported for the first time and some of their (13)C NMR spectral data reported in literature were corrected.     

A complete 1H and 13C NMR data assignment for 3-phenylmethylene-1H,3H-naphtho-[1,8-c,d]-pyran-1-one

Complete assignments of the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for 3-phenylmethylene-1H,3H-naphtho-[1,8-c,d]-pyran-1-one were done by means of one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques, including 1H-(1)H COSY, HMQC and HMBC spectra. Ab initio quantum chemistry calculations and a shift prediction by an incremental method provided values close to the proposed assignments. All mid-IR spectral bands are given as reference data. The DRIFT FTIR, ATR FTIR and Raman spectra are given as a Supplementary data in JCAMP-DX format, version 4.24. In addition, a method of compound's synthesis, that has the product yield higher as compared to already known data in the literature, is given.     

Complete 1H and 13C assignments of 8-C-beta-D-[2-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl]glucopyranosyl-2-(2-hydroxy)propyl-7-methoxy-5-methylchromone

1H and 13C NMR spectra of 8-C-beta-D-[2-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl] glucopyranosyl-2-(2-hydroxy)propyl-7-methoxy-5-methylchromone were completely assigned by 2D NMR observations. Especially the 1H assignments of the glucosyl and hydroxyl protons were achieved by utilizing HMQC, HMBC, 1H-1H COSY and DEPT techniques together with a heavy water exchange 1H NMR experiment.     

Parallel acquisition of two-dimensional NMR spectra of several nuclear species

We show that two or more two-dimensional NMR correlation spectra can be recorded in a single shot, using a multicoil radio-frequency probe and receiver system designed for simultaneous parallel acquisition of signals from different nuclear species such as 1H, 13C, and 15N. Dubbed PANSY (parallel acquisition NMR spectroscopy), this new technique shows promise for recording several multidimensional NMR spectra of different nuclear species in a very short time.     

CP/MAS spectroscopy in the determination of the tautomeric forms of gossypol, its Schiff bases and hydrazones in the solid state

New Schiff bases and new hydrazones were synthesized and studied by (13)C and (15)N CP/MAS spectroscopy and by (1)H--(1)H COSY, (1)H--(13)C HMBC, (1)H--(13)C HSQC, (1)H--(15)N HMQC and (1)H--(15)N HSQC correlations. The CP/MAS investigation of gossypol has demonstrated that in the solid state it exists exclusively in the aldehyde-aldehyde tautomeric form. In contrast, CP/MAS studies of hydrazones and Schiff bases reveal that these compounds occur in the solid state in the N-imine-N-imine and enamine-enamine tautomeric forms, respectively. It is shown that the (13)C resonances of C-6, C-7 and C-11 carbon atoms are suitable for distinguishing between the tautomeric forms of aza-derivatives of gossypol in the solid state. Furthermore, we have proved that the (15)N CP/MAS spectra can be used to identify these tautomeric forms.
