One‐step synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate and its characterization with 1D and 2D NMR techniques

A one‐step method was reported for the synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate by treating 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthalenesulfonyl chloride with equal moles of N, N‐dimethylethylenediamine in acetonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃. The chemical structure of the obtained compounds was characterized by MS, FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, gCOSY, TOCSY, gHSQC, and gHMBC. The chemical shift differences of ¹H and ¹³C being δ 0.04 and 0.2, respectively, were unambiguously differentiated. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structural analysis of 3‐α‐acetyl‐20(29)‐lupene‐24‐oic acid,a novel pentacyclic triterpene isolated from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata,by NMR spectroscopy

3α‐Acetyl‐20(29)‐lupene‐24‐oic acid ( 1 ) was isolated from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata. Its presence evidently suggests, that the oxidosqualene triterpene pathway of Boswellia serrata closely resembles the biosynthetic route already found in other plants. Complete ¹H and ¹³C spectral assignments were derived from 1D and 2D NMR spectra. This is the first compound with the lupene backbone combining a 3α‐hydroxy or 3α‐acetyl group with the 24‐carboxyl group, a configuration which is typical of the classical boswellic acids.

NMR studies on 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one

An unsymmetrical heterocyclic diamine, 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one, was synthesized. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing the two‐dimensional heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H multiple‐bond coherence (HMBC) spectroscopy, and heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H one‐bond correlation spectroscopy, homonuclear shift correlation spectroscopy (H,H‐COSY) and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY). The structure of the compound was shown to be the phthalazinone rather than the phthalazine ether from cross peaks and chemical shifts of the protons. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of 2′‐hydroxychalcones

Chalcones are of interest to medicinal chemists because their structures can be easily modified with various functional groups. The syntheses and biological activities of chalcones from natural sources are well known. In this study, 24 2′‐hydroxychalcones bearing methoxy substituents were synthesized, among which five are new. The NMR data for all synthesized chalcones are described for the first time. The complete assignments of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR data can be used for the identification of newly discovered and widely isolated, synthesized chalcones. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structural characterisation of poly(amidoamine) networks via high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR

A comprehensive structural characterisation of cross-linked insoluble poly(amidoamine) (PAA) networks was performed by high-resolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) NMR spectroscopy. Model samples with 20%, 40% and 80% cross-linking degrees were prepared and the best conditions to obtain high-resolution spectra in the gel phase determined. Whereas the samples with 20% and 40% cross-linking degrees could be exhaustively resolved and described, the sample with 80% cross-linking degree could not be characterised by this technique owing to insufficient mobility of the polymer segments. Even with this limitation, the method developed in this study can be reasonably considered as a general one, which enables exhaustive characterisation of cross-linked PAA networks of biomedical interest.     

1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectral analysis of monoalkyl (α‐anilinobenzyl)phosphonates and their dipalladium(II) metallocyclic complexes

A ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR study of monoethyl (HL1) and monobutyl (HL2) esters of (α‐anilinobenzyl)phosphonic acid and their metallocyclic dipalladium complexes (Pd₂L₄,L = L1, L2) in DMSO‐d₆ was performed, based on 1D and 2D homo‐ and heteronuclear experiments including ¹H,¹³C,³¹P,APT,¹H–¹H COSY, ¹H–¹³C COSY, gs‐HMQC and gs‐HMBC NMR techniques. The results obtained are discussed with respect to those for some palladium(II) complexes reported for various anilinobenzylphosphonate derivatives. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

C—H···X (X = N,O, S) intramolecular interaction in 1‐vinyl‐2‐(2′‐heteroaryl)pyrroles as monitored by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy

¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy of a series of 1‐vinyl‐2‐(2′‐heteroaryl)‐pyrroles were employed for the analysis of their electronic and spatial structure. The C—H···N intramolecular interaction between the α‐hydrogen of the vinyl group and the pyridine nitrogen, a kind of hydrogen bonding, was detected in 1‐vinyl‐2‐(2′‐pyridyl)pyrrole, which disappeared in its iodide methyl derivative. It was shown that this interaction is stronger than the C—H···O and C—H···S interactions in 1‐vinyl‐2‐(2′‐furyl)‐ and ‐2‐(2′‐thienyl)‐pyrroles. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Tautomeric behaviour and isotopic multiplets in the 13C NMR spectra of partially deuterated 5‐arylazo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐2,4,6‐triones and 5‐arylazo‐2‐thioxo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐4,6‐diones—evidence for elucidation of tautomeric forms

NMR spectra of the synthesized azo dyes, 5‐arylazo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐2,4,6‐triones (5a–g), 1,3‐dimethyl‐5‐arylazo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐2,4,6‐triones (6a–g), and 5‐arylazo‐2‐thioxo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐4,6‐diones (7a–g) were studied in (CD₃)₂SO (three drops of CD₃OD were added into solutions of the dyes in two different concentrations). All dyes showed intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Dyes 5a–7a showed bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Tautomeric behaviours of some of N‐methylated azo dyes (6a‐g) were studied in two different concentrations. The solvent–substrate proton exchange of dyes 5a–d, 6a and 7a–e was examined in presence of three drops of CD₃OD. The dyes which were soluble in (CD₃)₂SO containing CD₃OD showed isotopic splitting (β‐isotope effect) in the ¹³C NMR spectra. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis and characterization of 1‐ and 2‐cinnamoyloxyacetonaphthones

The synthesis of 1‐ and 2‐cinnamoyloxyacetonaphthones was achieved in one step using hydroxyl acetonaphthones and substituted cinnamic acids in the presence of a catalytic amount of phosphoroxychloride. Structural characterization was accomplished using high‐resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Chemical shifts of the compounds were compared and the change in the chemical shifts relative to electron‐donating and ‐withdrawing groups is presented. Introduction of a thiophene ring instead of phenyl‐substituted analogs caused shielding of the olefinic proton. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C chemical shifts for acridines: Part XVIII. 9‐Chloroacridine and 9‐(N‐allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives

The¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances for acridine derivatives 9‐substituted with chloro, allylamino and propargylamino groups were completely assigned using a concerted application of gs‐COSY, gs‐HMQC and gs‐HMBC experiments. 9‐(N‐Allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives present amino–imino tautomerism including a large broadening of ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals at room temperature. To obtain suitable resolution, therefore, these latter compounds were studied at 370 K in DMSO‐d6 solutions and showed a complete shift towards the imino tautomers.
