13C NMR spectra of thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine neuroleptics

The ¹³C NMR spectra of five thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepines and two related benzodiazepinones have been recorded at 22.64 MHz using broad band and off-resonance proton decoupling techniques. Spectral interpretation is facilitated by the presence of one (or more) fluorine substituents in the benzo-ring.     

[13C]NMR study of naphthoflavones

The [¹³C]NMR spectra of α-,β- and γ-naphthoflavones were assigned at 25.2 MHz resorting to models such as the unsubstituted flavone and appropriate substituted acetylmethoxynapthalenes. Supporting evidence for the assignments was provided by gated decoupled spectra and all the chemical shifts in the 11 compounds studied gave a self-consistent data set.     

13C NMR spectra of polycyclic compounds: Stereochemistry of trimers of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene

13C NMR spectra of 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepines: Differentiation of diastereomers

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 23 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepines, including nine pairs of diastereomers separated by chromatography, [(2R*, 3R^*) and (2R^*), 3S^*)] are hereby assigned and discussed. The relative configurations of the diastereomers were assigned by two methods. The first, based on the chemical shifts of the asymmetric carbons C-2 and C-3 (with regression analysis), shows that the values for (R^*, R^*) are approximately 1 ppm lower than those for (R^*, S^*) diastereomers. The second method uses the chemical shifts, δ₃, of the R₃(CH₃) substituents. When these δ₃ values are compared by means of the δ₃-δ_m difference (δ_m is the mean value obtained from compounds where R₂=H), the difference is always negative for (R^*, R^*) and positive for (R^*, S^*). This is attributed to a γ-gauche effect between R₂ and R₃ in the case of (R^*, R^*) diastereomers (R₂ and R₃ are cis). The results corroborate those already obtained by ¹H NMR [J(23)(R^*, R^*)<J(23)(R^*, S^*)] and are a confirmation of the results of a radiocrystallographic examination carried out on two nitrogen acetylated diastereomers.

NMR studies of sulphur heterocycles: III—13C spectra of benzo[b]thiophene and the methylbenzo[b]thiophenes

All carbon resonances in the title compounds have been unequivocably assigned. Steric effects in the peri substituted compounds have been compared with analogous effects in naphthalene and benzo[b]furan. The observed effects are not explained by current theory. Unusual deshielding steric shifts are observed at some carbons. Methyl substituent effects are not additive at any position in the sterically crowded 2,3-disubstituted compounds.     

Dynamics of ligand binding from 13C NMR relaxation dispersion at natural abundance

We show that Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) 13Calpha NMR relaxation dispersion measurements are a viable means for profiling mus-ms ligand dynamics involved in receptor binding. Critically, the dispersion is at natural 13C abundance; this matches typical pharmaceutical research settings in which ligand isotope-labeling is often impractical. The dispersion reveals ligand 13Calpha nuclei that experience mus-ms modulation of their chemical shifts due to binding. 13Calpha shifts are dominated by local torsion angles , psi, chi1; hence, these experiments identify flexible torsion angles that may assist complex formation. Since the experiments detect the ligand, they are viable even in the absence of a receptor structure. The mus-ms dynamic information gained helps establish flexibility-activity relationships. We apply these experiments to study the binding of a phospho-peptide substrate ligand to the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1.     

The 13C NMR spectra of 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and some monodeuteriated derivatives

The ¹³C signals of 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (1) are assigned, using the corresponding 3-, 6- and 7-deuterio-heterocycles; coupling constants are also given for compound 1.     

Low-temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectra of N-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indoles

The temperature-dependent (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of 2-(2-butynyl)-10-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indole (4) (as a representative example of 1-9) in CFCl(3) + CD(2)Cl(2) solution are described and discussed. Below 183 K, the hexahydropyrazine ring inversions become slow on the NMR time-scale and 4 exists in principle as two conformational diastereomers. In fact, only one was observed with the N-2 substituent in an equatorial position as shown by a low-temperature NOESY experiment. The energy barrier for conformational interchange was calculated from NMR data to be 8.3 kcal mol(-1) (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ), in agreement with quantum chemical calculations. Unambiguous assignments for all proton and carbon resonances of 1-9 were made using 1D (APT, DEPT, NOE difference) and 2D (COSY, NOESY, gHMQC, gHMBC) NMR techniques.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of new 2-thiabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-enes

Three new compounds, one with the molecular formula C₆H₈S and two corresponding to C₇H₁₀S have been isolated together with the main product, divinyl sulphide, from the reaction products of acetylene with sodium sulphide. Structure determination through ¹H and ¹³C NMR with selective ¹³C? {¹H} decoupling, showed C₆H₈S to be a new heterocyclic compound, 2-thiabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene, and the two C₇H₁₀S compounds its exo- and endo-6-methyl derivatives. Since the spectral parameters of these heterocycles were not known, all possible structures corresponding to the molecular formulae were considered.     

13C NMR spectra of exo,exo- and exo,endo-stereoisomers of tetracyclo[6.2.1.02,7.13,6]dodecane

Conclusions The¹³C NMR spectra of the exo, exo- and exo, endo-isomers of tetracyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7.1^3,6]dodecane were studied. The chemical shift of the bridge carbon depends on the configuration of the geometric isomer and can be used as a criterion to identify the stereoisomers in polycyclic systems with a norbornane fragment.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 924–926, April, 1977.The authors express their gratitude to S.

13C NMR spectra of benzo[b]thiophene and 1-(X-benzo[b]thienyl)ethyl acetate derivatives

Carbon-13 chemical shift assignments are reported for benzo[b]thiophene and 1-(X-benzo[b]thienyl)ethyl acetate derivatives, where X=? CH(OAc)CH₃ substituted at positions 2-7. Substituent chemical shift (SCS) effects for the ethyl acetate group are additive at all positions. A substantial upfield shift was observed at C-3, arising from the peri interaction of H-3 and the 4-ethyl acetate substituent. Carbon-13 relaxation times (T₁) and nuclear Overhauser enhancements (η) have been measured for benzo[b]thiophene and its derivatives, and the contributions of dipolar, T^DD₁, and spin rotation, T^SR₁, relaxation have been determined. Intramolecular dipole–dipole interactions are found to provide by far the most important spin-lattice relaxation mechanism whenever protons are bound directly to the carbons under investigation. Nonprotonated ring carbons are relaxed by both DD and SR mechanisms. Anisotropic motion has an easily observable effect on the DD contribution to T₁, and can form the basis for spectral assignments, as in 1-phenylethyl acetate. Long-range ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants were observed both between ring carbons and between ring carbons with ring side-chain hydrogens. These results have been used for the structure determination of the title compounds.     

13C NMR spectra and the structure of dithizone

Toward the complete prediction of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of complex organic molecules by DFT methods: application to natural substances

The NMR parameters (1H and 13C chemical shifts and coupling constants) for a series of naturally occurring molecules have been calculated mostly with DFT methods, and their spectra compared with available experimental ones. The comparison includes strychnine as a test case, as well as some examples of recently isolated natural products (corianlactone, daphnipaxinin, boletunone B) featuring unusual and/or crowded structures and, in the case of boletunone B, being the subject of a recent revision. Whenever experimental spectra were obtained in polar solvents, the calculation of NMR parameters was also carried out with the Integral Equation-Formalism Polarizable Continuum Model (IEF-PCM) continuum method. The computed results generally show a good agreement with experiment, as judged not only by statistical parameters but also by visual comparison of line spectra. The origin of the remaining discrepancies is attributed to the incomplete modeling of conformational and specific solvent effects.
