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.     

Study of stereospecificity of 1H, 13C, 15N and 77Se shielding constants in the configurational isomers of the selenophene-2-carbaldehyde azine by NMR spectroscopy and MP2-GIAO calculations

In the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of selenophene-2-carbaldehyde azine, the (1)H-5, (13)C-3 and (13)C-5 signals of the selenophene ring are shifted to higher frequencies, whereas those of the (1)H-1, (13)C-1, (13)C-2 and (13)C-4 are shifted to lower frequencies on going from the EE to ZZ isomer or from the E moiety to the Z moiety of EZ isomer. The (15)N chemical shift is significantly larger in the EE isomer relative to the ZZ isomer and in the E moiety relative to the Z moiety of EZ isomer. A very pronounced difference (60-65 mg/g) between the (77)Se resonance positions is revealed in the studied azine isomers, the (77)Se peak being shifted to higher frequencies in the ZZ isomer and in the Z moiety of EZ isomer. The trends in the changes of the measured chemical shifts are reasonably reproduced by the GIAO calculations at the MP2 level of the (1)H, (13)C, (15)N and (77)Se shielding constants in the energy-favorable conformation with the syn orientation of both selenophene rings relative to the C = N groups. The NBO analysis suggests that such an arrangement of the selenophene rings may take place because of a higher energy of some intramolecular interactions.     

An anomalous course of the reduction of 2-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)benzene diazonium salt: a reinvestigation

The 1H,13C and 15N NMR spectra of the reduction product of 2-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)benzene diazonium salt with sodium sulfite were measured and analysed. It is shown that the reaction product corresponds to 1-(indazol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydro-benzimidazol-2-on and not 6H-quinoxalino[1,2-c] [1,2,3]benzotriazin-12(13H)-one as published previously. The correctness of the structure was confirmed by an independent synthesis. The observed 15N chemical shifts were compared with the predicted ones using the ACD/NNMR 9.01 program.     

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.     

Application of fluorine NMR for structure identification of steroids

Fluorinated steroids were examined using 1D and 2D homo- and heteronuclear (19)F NMR, such as (19)F-(1) H and (19)F-(13)C. The utilization of fluorine NMR accounted for spectral simplification and resulted in a straightforward pathway for the determination of structures including the configuration of these compounds; these steroids present an illustrative example for other types of fluorinated compounds, which are increasingly encountered in drug discovery. The potential of (19)F NMR is elaborated on in detail for two compounds containing diastereotopic fluorines with different coupling patterns. The analysis of the coupling patterns and the through-space interactions resulted in the determination of the structure and configuration. Heteronuclear correlation experiments, i.e. (19)F-(1)H HETCOR, (19)F-(13)C HMQC and HMBC, and (19)F-(1)H HOESY, were applied to determine first the relative stereochemistry and then the molecular configuration at C4 and C5 of a steroidal compound bearing a fused three-membered ring with two fluorine substituents. These examples proved (19)F NMR to be a useful addition to the extensively used (1)H and (13)C NMR within structure elucidation and configuration determination of small molecules.     

1H, 13C, 15N and 19F NMR study of acetylation products of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones

Novel 2-acetylamino-4-acetyl-5-aryl(heteryl)-1,3,4-thiadiazolines, 2-acetylamino-5-aryl(heteryl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and some of their salts were prepared and studied by multinuclear 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The acetylation of thiosemicarbazones is accompanied by ring closure to form the corresponding 1,3,4-thiadiazolines and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles. 15N NMR spectroscopy is a unique method for the identification of thiadiazole pyridinium salts.

1H and 13C assignments of two new macrocyclic lactones isolated from Streptomyces sp. 211726 and revised assignments of azalomycins F3a, F4a and F5a

Azalomycin F(4a) 2-ethylpentyl ester (1) and Azalomycin F(5a) 2-ethylpentyl ester (2), two new macrocyclic lactones, along with three known compounds of Azalomycins F(3a) (3), F(4a) (4) and F(5a) (5), were identified from metabolites of Streptomyces sp. 211726 isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil. The complete (1)H and (13)C assignments of these compounds were achieved by using (1)H, (13)C, DEPT, HSQC, (1)H-(1)H COSY and HMBC spectra, and the relative stereochemistry of 5 was first elucidated on the basis of proton-proton coupling constants, NOESY and IR spectra. Moreover, some errors in the (1)H and (13)C assignments published of 3, 4 and 5 were found and revised. 1 and 2 were active against Candida albicans, and exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cell line.     

Long-range 19F-15N distance measurements in highly-13C, 15N-enriched solid proteins with 19F-dephased REDOR shift (FRESH) spectroscopy

We present a novel rotational-echo double resonance (REDOR) method for detection of multiple (19)F-(15)N distances in solid proteins. The method is applicable to protein samples containing a single (19)F label, in addition to high levels of (13)C and (15)N enrichment. REDOR dephasing pulses are applied on the (19)F channel during an indirect constant time chemical shift evolution period on (15)N, and polarization is then transferred to (13)C for detection, with high-power (1)H decoupling throughout the sequence. This four-channel experiment reports site-specifically on (19)F-(15)N distances, with highly accurate determinations of approximately 5 A distances and detection of correlations arising from internuclear distances of at least 8 A. We demonstrate the method on the well-characterized 56-residue model protein GB1, where the sole tryptophan residue (Trp-43) has been labeled with 5-(19)F-Trp, in a bacterial growth medium also including (13)C-glucose and (15)N ammonium chloride. In GB1, 11 distances are determined, all agreeing within 20% of the X-ray structure distances. We envision the experiment will be utilized to measure quantitative long-range distances for protein structure determination.     

Application of trimethylvinylsilane as a convenient synthetic precursor of (Perfluoroalkyl)ethenes: An unusual fluoride-induced elimination-desilylation coupled reaction

A convenient and effective method for the preparation of perfluoroalkylated ethenes is described. First, the free radical addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides to trimethylvinylsilane in the presence of AIBN gave iodoethylsilane intermediates (F(CF(2))(n)()CH(2)CHISiMe(3), n = 4 (1), 6 (2), 8 (3), 10 (4); 94-99%). Then an unusual dehydrohalogenation-desilylation reaction was effected by tetrabutylammonium fluoride, and finally the product isolation (F(CF(2))(n)()CH=CH(2) (5-8), 62-87%) was facilitated using a fluorous phase separation technique. This novel approach can also be applied to adjust short C(2) hydrocarbon units to functionalized fluorinated segments (e.g., HOCH(2)(CF(2))(8)CH=CH(2) (11), 71%). All structures were verified by state-of-the-art multinuclear one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments involving both homo- ((19)F-(19)F) and heteronuclear ((1)H-(13)C, (19)F-(13)C) correlations based on the GMQFCOPS and inverse (1)H and/or (19)F detected GHSQC, GHMQC sequences with broad-band adiabatic (13)C decoupling.

(¹⁵N ± ¹³C') edited (4, 3)D-H(CC)CONH TOCSY and (4, 3)D-NOESY HNCO experiments for unambiguous side chain and NOE assignments of proteins with high shift degeneracy

Well-resolved and unambiguous through-bond correlations and NOE data are crucial for high-quality protein structure determination by NMR. In this context, we present here (4, 3)D reduced dimensionality (RD) experiments: H(CC)CONH TOCSY and NOESY HNCO--which instead of (15)N shifts exploit the linear combination of (15)N(i) and (13)C'(i-1) shifts (where i is a residue number) to resolve the through-bond (1)H-(1)H correlations and through-space (1)H-(1)H NOEs. The strategy makes use of the fact that (15)N and (13)C' chemical shifts when combined linearly provide a dispersion which is better compared to those of the individual chemical shifts. The extended dispersion thus available in these experiments will help to obtain the unambiguous side chain and accurate NOE assignments especially for medium-sized alpha-helical or partially unstructured proteins [molecular weight (MW) between 12-15 kDa] as well as higher MW (between 15-25 kDa) folded proteins where spectral overlap renders inaccurate and ambiguous NOEs. Further, these reduced dimensionality experiments in combination with routinely used (15)N and (13)C' edited TOCSY and NOESY experiments will provide an alternative way for high-quality NMR structure determination of large unstable proteins (with very high shift degeneracy), which are not at all amenable to 4D NMR. The utility of these experiments has been demonstrated here using (13)C/(15)N labeled ubiquitin (76 aa) protein.     

Comparative analysis of hydrogen bonding with participation of the nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms in the 2(2'-heteroaryl)pyrroles and their trifluoroacetyl derivatives based on the 1H, 13C, 15N spectroscopy and DFT calculations

The N-H...X (X = N,O,S) intramolecular hydrogen bond in the series of 2(2'-heteroaryl)pyrroles and their trifluoroacetyl derivatives is examined by the (1)H, (13)C, (15)N spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the hydrogen bond on coupling and shielding constants is considered. It is shown that the N-H...N intramolecular hydrogen bond causes a larger increase in the absolute size of the (1)J(N,H) coupling constant and a larger deshielding of the bridge proton than the N-H...O hydrogen bond. The effect of the N-H...S interaction on the (1)J(N,H) coupling constant and the shielding of the bridge proton is small. The NMR parameter changes in the series of the 2(2'-heteroaryl)pyrroles due to N-H...X hydrogen bond and the series of the 1-vinyl-2-(2'-heteroaryl)-pyrroles due to C-H...X hydrogen bond have the same order. The proximity of the nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur lone pair to the F...H hydrogen bridge quenches the trans-hydrogen bond spin-spin couplings (1h)J(F,H-1) and (2h)J(F,N).
