NMR studies of 4(3H)-quinazolinones and 4(3H)-quinazolinethiones

Summary Unambiguous¹H and¹³C NMR assignments for 4(3H)-quinazolinones1–6 and their corresponding 4-thiones7–12 have been made. This resulted in the revision of the previous assignments for the two benzenoid carbons (C-5 and C-8) of quinazolinones1,2,4, and5. Thionation of the nucleophilic amides1–6 has been found to cause a distinct change in the¹³C chemical shift of particularly C-4, but also of those of C-4a, C-5, and C-8a. One-bond and several long range heteronuclear coupling constants for the compounds have also been measured.

Kernresonanzspektroskopie von 4(3H)-Chinazolinonen und 4(3H)-Chinazolinthionen

Zusammenfassung Die¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektren der 4(3H)-Chinazolinone1–6 und ihrer entsprechenden 4-Thione7–12 wurden zugeordnet. Dabei zeigte sich, daß eine frühere Zuordnung der beiden benzoiden Kohlenstoffe (C-5 und C-8) der Chinazolinone1,2,4 und5 falsch war. Ersatz des Sauerstoffs durch Schwefel in den nukleophilen Amiden1–6 führt insbesondere für C-4, aber auch für C-4a, C-5 und C-8a zu einer deutlichen Änderung der chemischen Verschiebung. Heteronukleare Kopplungskonstanten über eine und über mehrere Bindungen wurden bestimmt.

Isomerization of substituted tricyclic 4,5-dihydropyrazoles

Summary The acid and base catalyzed isomerization of some tricyclic 2-pyrazolines with N-Carbamoyl-,N-thiocarbamoyl-and N-phenyl substituents was investigated. Starting fromcis ortrans 3-H, 3a-H diastereomers, equilibrium mixtures ofcis andtrans diastereomers were prepared which were separated and subsequently studied by¹H NMR and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. A mechanism for the isomerization of the pyrazolines is suggested, supported by a deuterium exchange at C-3a.

Ein Mechanismus für die Isomerisierung von Pyrazolinen wird vorgeschlagen, der durch den Deuteriumaustausch in Position 3a-C unterstützt wird.

     

Cyclohexanone Dimethyl Acetals: A 13C NMR, Thermodynamic, and Ab Initio Study

The spatial structures of a number of mono- and disubstituted 1,1-dimethoxycyclohexanes (cyclohexanone dimethyl acetals) were studied by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. In the monosubstituted acetals, substituents (Me, Et, i-Pr, and MeO) on C-2 are axially oriented, contrary to their normal, equatorial orientation on C-3 and C-4. Besides the spectroscopic study, the relative thermodynamic stabilities of the cis-trans isomers of a few 2,X-dialkyl (X = 3, 4, 5, or 6) derivatives of the parent cyclohexanone dimethyl acetal were determined by acid-catalyzed chemical equilibration in MeOH solution. In the most stable isomeric form, the 2-substituent is axial and the other equatorial. In the less stable isomer, both substituents are equatorial, excluding the cis-2,6-dimethyl derivative, where the ¹³C NMR shift data point to a predominance of the diaxial form. In general, the enthalpy difference between the isomeric forms is ca. 9 kJ mol^–1, while the entropy term favors the less stable isomer by 4 to 16 J K^–1 mol^–1. In the 2,6-dimethyl derivatives, however, the trans form is favored by only 0.8 kJ mol^–1 in G _m at 298.15 K. The main findings of the experimental work are in good agreement with ab initio calculations.     

NMR spectroscopic study of the (Z)/(E)-isomerism of 1-aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-ones in solution and in the crystalline state

Summary ¹H,¹³C, and CP/MAS¹³C NMR spectra of sixp-substituted 1-aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-ones in solution and in the solid state are reported and discussed. In the proteon-accepting solvent dimethylsulfoxide, electronegative substituents shift the isomeric equilibrium to the (E)-isomer. Bulky substituents promote crystallization of the (Z)-form.

Nitropyrazoles

The structures of substitutedN-aminonitropyrazoles and 1- and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles as well as the site of protonation of 1-aminopyrazole were determined based on the¹H,¹³C, and¹⁵N (¹⁴N) NMR spectra. The¹³C NMR spectra were recorded under conditions of¹³C-{¹H,¹⁴N} triple resonance. Effects of substituents in the pyrazole ring on the¹³C and¹⁴N chemical shifts were studied. The¹³C,¹H and¹⁵N,¹H spin-spin coupling constants, obtained using techniques of [¹H]¹³C and [¹H]¹⁵N polarization transfer (SPT, INEPT), were measured, fully assigned, and discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nine sesquiterpenes from Solanum torvum

Three new sesquiterpenes, namely 3β,11-dihydroxy-4,14-oxideenantioeudesmane (1), 1β,10β,12,14-tetrahydroxy-allo-aromadendrane (2) and 1β,10β,13,14-tetrahydroxy-allo-aromadendrane (3), along with six known sesquiterpenes (4–9), were isolated from the roots of Solanum torvum. Compound 4 and 5 are epimers, their main difference lies in the C-11 configulation. Normally, epimers do not make a huge difference in C NMR spectra, but in this kind of structure of A, B, C rings, and C ring is sterically strained structure, stericall effects influence strongly the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, when C-11 configulation changed, it makes a huge difference in the three ring of structure, such as C-6, C-7, C-11. New compound 2 and 3 are epimers and similar to compound 4 and 5, their just increase a hydroxy in C-1 and have a same regular pattern in C NMR spectra, otherwise, compound 5 was firstly confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Polysaccharides of Fabaceae. I. Galactomannan of Astragalus sericeocanus seeds

Galactomannan (yield 3.58% of seed mass) of molecular weight 876 kDa was isolated from seeds of Astragalus sericeocanus Gontsch. (Fabaceae). Its solutions had high viscosity [η], 764.6 mL/g, and optical density [α]_D +65.3°. The polysaccharide consisted of galactose and mannose in molar ratio 1:1.58. The main chain of the galactomannan macromolecule was constructed of 1,4-β-D-mannopyranose units, 63% of which were substituted at C-6 by single α-D-galactopyranose units. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy established that the galactomannan contained units of differently substituted galactose mannobiose units: Man-Man, (Gal)Man-Man, and/or Man-Man(Gal) in addition to (Gal)Man-Man(Gal), the ratio of which was 0.15:0.51:0.34.

Glucomannan from Narcissus poeticus Studied by PMR and 13C NMR Spectroscopy

Native acetylated glucomannan of molecular weight (MW) 32000 with a glucose:mannose ratio 1:30 was isolated from bulbs of Narcissus poeticus. Glucomannan was depolymerized to a fragment of MW 15000 with an unchanged primary structure and was studied using PMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the linear chain of the biopolymer consists of 1-4-bound D-gluco- and D-mannopyranose units and the O-Ac groups are localized on C-2, C-3, and C-6 hydroxyls in certain anhydromannose units.     

Convenient synthesis and NMR spectral studies of variously substituted <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methylpiperidin-4-one-<Emphasis Type="Italic">O</Emphasis>-benzyloximes

Abstract  A series of variously substituted N-methylpiperidin-4-one-O-benzyloximes were synthesized by three different methods. Among them, the direct conversion of 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ones into the corresponding oxime ethers (method A) was proved to be better than the other two methods in the sense of good yield, convenience, easy work-up and quick reaction time. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, Mass and NMR (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹H-¹H COSY, ¹H-¹³C COSY and HMBC) spectral studies. The conformational preference of the synthesized oxime ethers with/without alkyl and aryl substituents at C-3/C-5 and C-2/C-6 is discussed using the spectral data. The observed chemical shifts and coupling constants suggest that the synthesized oxime ethers adopt chair conformation with equatorial orientation of all the substituents, whereas 1-methyl-3-isopropyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one-O-benzyloxime also exists in boat conformation. Based on the NMR data, the effects of oximination on ring carbons and their associated protons and alkyl substituents are discussed. In addition, the effect of NMe group on the 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-one-O-benzyloximes was also studied. Graphical abstract        

The effect of polyether ligands on the solution structure of [Li]-α-(phenylthio)benzyllithium in tetrahydrofuran: A H,Li-HOESY NMR study

[⁶Li]-α-(phenylthio)benzyllithium 1-⁶Li was studied in THF/[D₈]THF solution (1:1) in the presence of several acyclic and cyclic polyether ligands by ¹H,⁶Li-HOESY, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The question whether these ligands are bonded to lithium or not is important for physical–organic investigations as well as for studies of the ground state of (stereoselective) reactions of organolithium compounds in the presence of such ligands. Dimethoxyethane is not bonded to lithium under these conditions. The acyclic ethers diglyme and triglyme coordinate only weakly to the organolithium compound and form contact ion pairs (CIPs) at 25°C. At −80°C, CIPs are in equilibrium with separated ion pairs (SIPs). Very stable complexes of 1-⁶Li are obtained with crown ether ligands. Addition of 12-crown-4 and 15-crown-5, respectively, results in the exclusive formation of SIPs at 25°C and −80°C. With 18-crown-6, a CIP–SIP equilibrium is observed at 25°C which is shifted entirely to the SIP side at −80°C. Graphical analyses of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the polyether complexes of 1-⁶Li revealed correlations between the chemical shifts of the para phenyl carbon C-5, the para phenyl proton H-5, the benzylic carbon C-1, and the proton–carbon coupling constant J(C-1,H-1) of 1-Li, which are useful probes for the charge distribution within the carbanionic moiety of 1-⁶Li in the respective complexes, and thus for the ion pair character as a function of the polyether complexation of lithium.     

N-Oxides of polychloropyridines.13C NMR study

The effect ofN-oxidation of a series of polychloropyridines on¹³C NMR parameters has been studied. It has been established that inN-oxides of polychloropyridines an electric field through-space effect of theN-oxide group predominates in the shielding of the -carbon atom compared to the other carbon atoms. A linear correlation between¹³C NMR chemical shifts and total charge densities calculated by the MNDO method for the carbon atoms ofN-oxides of polychloropyridines has been found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C NMR and mass spectrometry of soil organic matter

Liquid state, high resolution ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry were used to study the composition and structure of soil organic matter (SOM) using soil extracts from two long-term experiments at the Rothamsted Experimental Station. Both one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques were applied. ¹³C NMR sub-spectra of the CH _n (n=0...3) groups, obtained by the Distortionless Enhancement by Polarisation Transfer (DEPT) technique, were used for the elucidation of the qualitative and quantitative composition of humic and fulvic acids in the soils. The chemical structure of SOM was further analysed at the molecular level through Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry (FABMS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Humic and fulvic extract results were not only compared to each other, but also to the solid state ¹³C NMR results for the complete soil sample.     

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Chloroscabrolides, chlorinated norcembranoids from the Indonesian soft coral Sinularia sp.

Chemical analysis of the Indonesian soft coral Sinularia sp. (order Alcyonacea, family Alcyoniidae) afforded two known and three new C-4 norcembranoids, named chloroscabrolides A (3) and B (4) and prescabrolide (5). Chloroscabrolide A is a pentacyclic norcembranoid including an unprecedented THF-type ring to connect C-13 and C-15; furthermore, it is only the second chlorinated cembranoid derivative to be reported in the literature. The relative configuration of chloroscabrolide A has been established on the basis of a comparison between experimental ¹³C NMR data and DFT-calculated ¹³C NMR chemical shifts. All the isolated norcembranoids have been evaluated for iNOS protein inhibition.

Solid-state C NMR and molecular modeling studies of acetyl aleuritolic acid obtained from Croton cajucara Benth

Solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR) with magic-angle spinning (MAS) and with cross-polarization and magic-angle spinning (CP/MAS) spectra, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques were used to obtain structural data from a sample of acetyl aleuritolic acid (AAA) extracted from the stem bark of Croton cajucara Benth. (Euphorbiaceae) and recrystallized from acetone. Since solid-state ¹³C NMR results suggested the presence of more than one molecule in the unitary cell for the AAA, DSC analysis and molecular modeling calculations were used to access this possibility. The absence of phase transition peaks in the DSC spectra and the dimeric models of AAA simulated using the semi-empirical PM3 method are in agreement with that proposal.     

13C and19F NMR study of α,β-difluorostyryl derivatives of transition metal carbonylates. A method of signal assignment based on the carbon—fluorine spin-spin coupling constants

The¹³C and¹⁹F NMR spectra ofZ- andE-isomers of β-X-substituted α,β-difluorostyrenes (X=F, Cl, CpFe(CO)₂, Re(CO)₅, Re₂(CO)₉Na) were studied. Direct and long-range (across 1–5 bonds) spin-spin coupling constants and the (¹³C−¹²C) isotope shifts in the¹⁹F NMR spectra were determined. The study of the¹³C satellites in the¹⁹F NMR spectra of substituted difluorostyrenes permitted assignment of the¹³C NMR signals of the vinylic carbon atoms. Similarly, the signals in¹⁹F NMR spectra were assigned based on coupling constants of fluorine withipso-carbon. These assignments were found to be in good agreement with the data available from the literature (X=F, Cl). The developed approach was applied to the elucidation of the structure ofZ−PhCF=CClFe(CO)₂Cp. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya. No. 8, pp. 1575–1579, August, 1998.
