Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du Carbone-13 de Quelques Aminopyrazoles. Sur le Problème de la Détermination des Constantes d'Equilibre Tautomère

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 32 pyrazoles were measured in hexadeuterated dimethyl sulphoxide and in hexamethylphosphorotriamide. Substituent effects (methyl and amino groups on the pyrazolic carbons, and methyl, n-butyl and phenyl groups on the nitrogen) were calculated by multilinear regression analysis. The general problem of the ¹³C NMR study of annular tautomerism in azoles is discussed and illustrated by the 3(5)-aminopyrazole case.     

A cationic bridged zirconocene complex as the catalyst for the stereospecific polymerization of methyl methacrylate

The cationic bridged zirconocene complex [iPr(Cp)(Ind)Zr(Me)(THF)][BPh₄] ( 1 ‐BPh₄) was synthesized. Polymerization of methyl methacrylate with 1 ‐BPh₄ in CH₂Cl₂ at temperatures between –20 and 20°C led to the formation of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate). The low polydispersity index of the polymer obtained and a successful two step polymerization of methyl methacrylate with 1 ‐BPh₄ are hints towards a living polymerization mechanism. ¹H and ¹³C NMR analysis revealed an enantiomorphic site‐controlled mechanism for the formation of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate).     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of saturated heterocycles: XI—Tetrahydropyrans (oxanes)

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 62 oxanes (tetrahydropyrans) with and without methyl substituents at various ring positions, some of them bearing in addition (or instead) ethyl, vinyl, ethynyl, carbomethoxy and methylol substituents at C-2, have been recorded, and the 294 resulting chemical shifts have been correlated by multiple linear regression analysis. Axial and equatorial α-, β-, γ-, δ-, gem- and vic-parameters for shifts caused by methyl groups at all ring positions, and similar parameters for Et,—CH?CH₂,—C?CH, CO₂Me and CH₂OH groups at C-2, are reported. Standard deviations of the parameters are, in most cases, within 0.3 ppm and the agreement of calculated and experimental shifts is excellent. This is probably the largest parameter set of this type extant. ¹³C NMR spectra of a number of additional substituted tetrahydropyrans, and of 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans, are tabulated and discussed.     

RMN 13C d'Alcynes Aliphatiques: Analyse Topologique des Effets de Substituants Alkyles sur les Déplacements Chimiques des Carbones sp par la Méthode DARC PELCO

Alkyl substituent effects on the sp carbon chemical shifts of aliphatic alkynes have been analysed by the DARC/PELCO method estimating the perturbations linked to the introduction of localized sites in the Limited, Concentric, Ordered Environment of the carbons described by graduate generation from the centre –C?C^.–. A site correlation ‘Topology-δ’ is proposed and its ability to predict the chemical shifts is checked on a population of 55 linear to highly branched alkynes, over a range of 25.2 ppm. This work also shows (i) the independence of the effects of the alkyl groups linked to the C?C bond; (ii) their attenuation with increasing branching of the alkyl substituents; (iii) the small values of the γ_π effects; (iv) the additivity of site perturbation increments (without interaction terms) up to a frontier corresponding to the –C(H,Me,tBu) and –C(Me₂,tBu) groups. A simplified model is derived from a partially ordered generation graph and, for rapid estimation of δ, the global effects of alkyl radicals are expressed as group parameters by summation of their site parameters.     

Etude par RMN du Proton et du Carbone-13 de Pyrimidines Substituées. I—Effets de Substituant dans les Dérivés Méthylés et Aminés

Substituent effects of methyl and amino groups on the chemical shifts of pyrimidine have been investigated by ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. and compared with similar data obtained for benzene and pyridine. Taking into account pairwise interactions, the chemical shifts calculated by using an additivity relationship are in very good agreement with the experimental results, except for some hindered pyrimidines. This study enabled us to assign the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of some trisubstituted pyrimidines.     

Spectroscopie RMN du Carbone-13 de Thiocétones Aliphatiques: Propanethione et Dérivés,Thiocétones Bicycliques et α Cyclopropaniques

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of various aliphatic ketones and thioketones were determined and interpreted. As shown by the relation between ¹³C chemical shifts in C=A groups, the C=S is more sensitive to the substituents than the C=O group. Conjugative effects are more pronounced in α-cyclopropyl thioketones than in α-cyclopropyl ketones.     

Conformation et Spectrometrie de RMN. III. Spectres 13C de Diméthylamino Cyclanols et Dérivés

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-dimethylaminocyclohexanols and the four trans-3-dimethylamino-2-decahydronaphtols are described. The gauche interactions allow precise estimation of chemical shifts for each carbon atom; thus, band attribution can be resolved without mistake. In the case of the cis and the trans diequatorial compounds, the conformational perturbations which we have suggested before are verified by our present measurements on the substituted carbon atoms. We also show effects on adjacent atoms, which were unobservable with the usual IR and ¹H NMR techniques.     

Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structures of Zinc Dichloride Complexes Supported by a β‐Diimine Ligand

β‐Diimine zinc dichloride complexes [CH₂{C(Me)NAr}₂]ZnCl₂ [Ar = Mes ( 1 ), Dipp ( 2 )] were obtained from the reactions of ZnCl₂ with the corresponding β‐iminoamines [ArN(H)C(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C) and IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses as well as by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The energy differences between the enamine‐imine tautomers of the β‐iminoamines were quantified by quantum chemical calculations.     

13C NMR of organosulphur compounds: I—the effects of sulphur substituents on the 13C chemical shifts of alkyl chains and of S-heterocycles

The ¹³C NMR spectra have been determined of: (i) aliphatic compounds having at one end a functionalized sulphur atom (? SH, ? S^?, ? SMe, ? S(O)Me, ? SO₂Me and ? S⁺Me₂) and (ii) saturated sulphur heterocycles variously substituted at the S-atom . The results are discussed in terms of the familiar deshielding effects for α- and β-carbons and shielding effects for γ-carbons, exerted by the sulphur atom itself and/or by the atoms or groups of which the sulphur function is made up. The γ-effect of the S-atom appears to be nearly independent of the nature of the S-function and of comparable magnitude to that of an aliphatic carbon (?2·5 + ?3·0 ppm). Surprisingly, however, a S? CH₃ group shields the carbon in γ position with respect to CH₃ by an amount (?5·4 ppm) which is more than twice that (?2·5 ppm) exerted by the aliphatic γ-carbon on the S-CH₃ carbon itself. As to the cyclic compounds, the shieldings of the α- and β-carbons can be rationalized in terms of the conformational orientation of the substituent at sulphur, and the equilibrium distribution of the conformers. The results confirm the great value of ¹³C NMR for configurational and conformational assignment of S-heterocycles.     

Synthesis and NMR characteristics of N‐acetyl‐4‐nitro,N‐acetyl‐5‐nitro,N‐acetyl‐6‐nitro and N‐acetyl‐7‐nitrotryptophan methyl esters

N‐acetyl‐4‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (2), N‐acetyl‐5‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (3), N‐acetyl‐6‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (4) and N‐acetyl‐7‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (5) were synthesized through a modified malonic ester reaction of the appropriate nitrogramine analogs followed by methylation with BF₃‐methanol. Assignments of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts were made using a combination of ¹H–¹H COSY, ¹H–¹³C HETCOR and ¹H–¹³C selective INEPT experiments. Copyright © 2008 Crown in the right of Canada.

Stereospecificity of <Superscript>13</Superscript>C shielding constants in acetone azine as a tool for configurational assignment of ketone azines

According to the ¹³C NMR data, the chemical shift of the methyl carbon atom in acetone azine in the trans position with respect to the lone electron pair on the neighboring nitrogen atom is lower by 7 ppm than that of the methyl carbon atom in the cis position. The corresponding direct ¹³C-¹³C coupling constant for the trans-methyl groups is lower by 10 Hz as compared to the cis-methyl groups. The experimental spectral data are reproduced well by nonempirical quantum-chemical calculations. The observed stereospecificity of ¹³C chemical shifts and ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants may be used as an effective tool in configurational analysis of various ketone azines.     

Darstellung von Organylquecksilber(II)‐di(methansulfonyl)amiden und Kristallstruktur von Ph–Hg–N(SO2Me)2

Polysulfonylamines. CXXIV. Preparation of Organylmercury(II) Di(methanesulfonyl)amides and Crystal Structure of Ph–Hg–N(SO₂Me)₂ Four N,N‐disulfonylated organylmercury(II) amides R–Hg–N(SO₂Me)₂, where R is Me, ⁱPr, Me₃SiCH₂ or Ph, were obtained on treating the appropriate chlorides RHgCl with AgN(SO₂Me)₂, and characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. In the crystal structure of the phenyl compound (orthorhombic, space group Pbca, Z = 8, X‐ray diffraction at –95 °C), the molecule exhibits a covalent and significantly bent C–Hg–N grouping [bond angle 172.7(3)°; Hg–C 204.0(8), Hg–N 209.1(7) pm]. One sulfonyl oxygen atom forms a short intramolecular Hg…O contact [296.1(5) pm] and simultaneously catenates glide‐plane related molecules via a second Hg…O interaction 297.6(5) pm], thus conferring upon Hg^II the effective coordination number 4 and a geometrically irregular coordination polyhedron (bond angles from 173 to 54°).     

13C GIAO DFT calculation as a tool for configuration prediction of N–O group in saturated heterocyclic N‐oxides

Tropane, tropinone, pseudopelletierine and cocaine were oxidized in situ in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tube providing mixtures of exo/endo N‐oxides. Observed ¹³C chemical shifts were correlated with values calculated by gauge‐including atomic orbitals density functional theory (DFT) OPBE/6‐31G* method using DFT B3LYP/6‐31G* optimized geometries. The same method of ¹³C chemical shift calculation was applied on series of methyl‐substituted 1‐methylpiperidines and their epimeric N‐oxides described in literature. The results show that using this undemanding calculation method enables assignment of configuration of N–O group in N‐epimeric saturated heterocyclic N‐oxides. The approach enables assigning of the configuration with high degree of certainty even if NMR data of only one isomer are available. An improved method of in situ oxidation of starting amines in an NMR tube is also described. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Monomere Dialkylmetallkomplexe des Typs R2M(NR′)2XR mit M = Al,Ga, In,TI; X = S,C und R,R′ = Alkyl und Silyl

Monomeric Dialkyl Metal Complexes of the R₂M(NR′)₂XR Type with M = Al, Ga, In, Tl; X = S, C and R, R′ = Alkyl and Silyl N,N′-Bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfurdiimide reacts with the trimethyl derivatives of aluminium, gallium, and indium within insertion. Hereby monomeric sulfinic acid imidamidates Me₂M(NSiMe₃)₂SMe (Me = CH₃) are formed. The lithium amidinates Li(NR′)₂CMe (R′ = i-C₃H₇ and SiMe₃) are formed likewise by insertion reactions with LiMe and the corresponding carbodiimides R′N?C?NR′ and were used in reactions with R₂MCl (M = Al to Tl) to synthesize dialkyl metal amidinates R₂M(NR′)₂CMe. The NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and the vibrational spectra (IR and Raman) are discussed and applied to describe the structure of these chelat complexes.     

1H and 13C NMR studies on 1,3,2-dioxarsolanes

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of a series of 1,3,2-dioxarsolanes have been obtained at 2.1 T and some at 9.4 T. The chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants have been obtained from complete spectral analyses of the ¹H and proton-coupled ¹³C spectra. The spectral data are interpreted on the basis of two rapidly interconverting half-chair conformers with a pseudoaxial substituent at arsenic. Unique assignment of syn/anti or cis/trans geometries have been made from ¹H or ¹³C NMR spectroscopy alone. The syn and trans isomers of the 4-methyl- and 4,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxarsolanes, respectively, appear to be conformationally biased towards the forms with pseudoequatorial methyl groups. The general trends in the geminal and vicinal ¹H? ¹H and ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants are interpreted in terms of stereospecific, electronegativity and lone-pair effects of the oxygen heteroatoms and conformational factors. The NMR data on the 1,3,2-dioxarsolanes are discussed with reference to related 1,3-dithoxa- and 1,3-dithia- five-membered rings with As, P, S or C at the 2-position.     

Etudes d'Hétérocycles Pentagonaux Polyhétéroatomiques par RMN du 13C. Effets de Substituant,de la Benzocondensation et Etude de la Tautomèrie Prototropique en Série Benzothiazolique

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 43 benzothiazoles have been recorded in DMSO-d₆. All carbon atoms have been attributed in an unambigous way owing to substituent effects in position 4, 5, 6 or 7. We discuss variations of chemical shifts as a function of the nature of the substituent in position 2 (equation of type: Δδ = aF+bR+cQ+d′), annelation in the benzoheterocyclic series, and prototropic tautomerism in the benzothiazolic series (in the case of the substituent in the 2-position being an OH, SH or NHR group).     

Etude par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire de dérivés anthracéniques: II—Anisotropie magnétique du phényle et effets steriques

The peri effect induced by the phenyl group has been studied in the anthracene series by means of ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. The chemical shifts of overcrowded protons can be explained by a combination of magnetic anisotropy and steric effects. Steric contributions amount to c. 25% of the phenyl induced shift at the peri position. Amongst published ring-current theories, only the model of Johnson and Bovey is capable of describing correctly the shielding region of the phenyl group. The unexpected shieldings and deshieldings, observed by ¹³C n.m.r. in the case of very hindered derivatives, is probably due to distortions of the anthracene skeleton.     

15N NMR spectroscopy of 3‐substituted 5‐trichloromethyl‐1,2‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolium chlorides

¹⁵N NMR data of a series of 3‐alkyl[aryl] substituted 5‐trichloromethyl‐1,2‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolium chlorides (where the 3‐substituents are H, Me, Et, n‐Pr, n‐Bu, n‐Pe, n‐Hex, (CH₂)₅CO₂Et, CH₂Br, Ph and 4‐Br‐C₆H₄), are reported. The ¹⁵N substituent chemical shifts (SCS) parameters are determined and these data are compared with the ¹³C SCS values and data obtained by MO calculations.

Etude par RMN du 13C d'Epoxydes en Série Diterpénique

A ¹³C NMR study of various epoxides prepared from methyl esters of resin acids possessing the pimarane skeleton reveals that the chemical shifts of carbons in α, β, γ or δ position to the epoxide oxygen are influenced by the configuration of the epoxide ring.     

Déplacements Chimiques du Carbone 13, Constantes de Couplage 1J(CH) et 3J(CH) dans une série de dérivés trisubstitués du benzène

¹³C chemical shifts, 1-bond and 3-bond (meta) ¹³C? H coupling constants have been determined in a series of trisubstituted benzene; the substituents are Cl, NH₂, N(C₂H₅)₂, N(iC₃H₇)₂, N(C₂H₄)₂O. Chemical shifts are only in moderate agreement with the usual additivity rules. Additivity rules relative to the above mentioned coupling constants are proposed. With few exceptions, the difference between predicted and observed values is less than 10%.
