Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of novel o-hydroxythioacetophenones and related compounds evaluated by deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts

A new class of compounds, the 2-hydroxythioacetophenones, and related compounds have recently been synthesized. The hydrogen-bond system has been characterized by NMR chemical shifts and deuterium isotope effects on these as well as by DFT calculations. Use of solid-state (13)C NMR has enabled measurements of the intrinsic deuterium isotope effects of the most abundant tautomer of beta-thioxoketones. The compounds show very interesting long-range deuterium isotope effects on the thiocarbonyl carbon. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds of o-hydroxythioacetophenones are found to be slightly stronger than those of the corresponding acetophenones. The reactivity and stability of the compounds can be related to hydrogen bonding and to the presence of electron donating substituents.     

Complete 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P NMR spectral parameters of some pyrophosphates

The ¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, and ³¹P NMR spectral parameters of some pyrophosphates were determined in CDCl₃. The most complicated ¹H spectrum can be solved fully only as (A₃MN)R₆XX′R₆′(MNA₃)′, where R₆ (= ―N(CH₃)₂) is coupled only to phosphorus (X). Second‐order coupling between phosphorus was found and solved with iterative analysis. A signal shape of one of the carbon resonance cannot be explained only with couplings. Explanation for exceptional shape was searched from molecular modeling results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structure elucidation and 1H/13C NMR spectral assignments of four trabectedin related compounds

This article presents the structure elucidation of four new compounds, formed during the hemisynthetic preparation of trabectedin, an anti-tumor natural product from Ecteinascidia turbinata. We report herein on the use of UV, MS and NMR spectroscopic data along with (1)H and (13)C spectral assignments obtained by means of 1D and 2D homo- and heteronuclear NMR techniques.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral data of bioactive cage‐like polycyclic compounds

Bioactive cage‐like polycyclic compounds have attracted the attention of several research groups because of their unique appearance and their biological activities. Their structures were established on the basis of ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data. The ¹H and ¹³C signal assignments and most homonuclear hydrogen coupling constants were assigned by use of techniques such as 1D ¹H and ¹³C NMR and 2D gCOSY, non‐edited gHSQC and gHMBC. The gNOESY experiments proved the endo‐stereochemistry. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of novel chromenylchalcones

Several types of chalcones containing 2H‐chromen group were synthesized. Claisen–Schmidt condensation of 2H‐chromen‐3‐carbaldehydes (I) with methoxy substituted acetophenones afforded (E)‐3‐(2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐1‐(methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones (chromenylchalcones, 1–7). Other types of chromenylchalcone, (E)‐1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐3‐(methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones (8–13) were also obtained between reaction of methoxy substituted benzaldehydes and 1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)ethanone (II). Dichromenylchalcones (14–16) were also synthesized through the same reaction between aldehydes (I) and ketone (II). Their complete ¹H‐NMR and ¹³C‐NMR assignments are reported here and more polysubstituted chromenylchalcones synthesized or isolated from the natural sources in the future can be identified on the basis of the NMR data reported here.

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignment of androstane derivatives

(1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopic data for 5alpha-androstanes and halo-5alpha-androstanes with different substituents at positions C-3, C-9, C-11 and C-17 were examined and assigned by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The substituent effects on the (13)C chemical shifts were compared with those of epi-androsterone, used as a reference compound. The coupling constants (n)J((19)F,(13)C) were measured for compounds 6, 8, 11 and 14.     

1H and13C NMR spectra of polycyclic compounds

Using 2D¹H and¹³C correlation NMR spectroscopy, all signals in the¹H and¹³C NMR spectra of five stereoisomeric bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene trimers, decacyclo[9.9.1.0^2.10.0^3.8.0^4.6.0^5.9.0^12.20.0^13.18.0^14.16.0^15.19]heneicosanes, obtained by Pd-catalyzed codimerization of norbornadiene dimer with quadricyclane followed by homocyclotrimerization of the latter were assigned unambiguously. Independent stereochemical identification of the trimers was performed using data on the nuclear Overhauser effect.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of benzyl compounds

Proton and carbon-13 spectra of benzyl compounds of the general formula (C₆H₅CH₂)_nX with a large variety of X substituents have been measured. While a linear relationship between the CH₂ chemical shift and the substituent electronegativity was found both for ¹H and ¹³C, large deviations from linearity were observed for transition metals such as titanium and zirconium. These later results are correlated with the X-ray studies of the latter compounds.     

13C and 1H NMR spectral studies of N-alkylmethylquinolinium salts

¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts of fourteen N-alkylmethylquinolinium salts in DMSO-d₆ are reported, and compared with those of the eleven corresponding methylquinoline bases. The influence of ring substitution by methyl groups in the salts and substitution at the nitrogen atom and the effect of the anion are discussed.     

1H and 13C spectral assignment of 2(1H)-pyridone derivatives

1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)pyridone derivatives were fully assigned by a combination of one- and two- dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).     

Complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral characterization of 1,6-dioxapyrene and related compounds. An unusual coupling interaction through hydrogen bond in three precursors

The ¹H and ¹³C nmr studies of 1,6-dioxapyrene show the disruption of extended delocalization of the π electrons in this recently synthesized heterocyclic skeleton. A surprising coupling interaction through hydrogen bonding was detected in the precursors bearing formyl and hydroxyl groups in peri positions.     

High resolution 13C and 1H NMR spectral analysis of 1-azafluorene

An analysis of the ¹H and ¹³C spectra of 1-azafluorene has been carried out using computer calculations and homo- and heteronuclear double resonance techniques. The ⁴J, ⁵J and ⁶J long-range coupling constants of the 9-CH₂ group protons with the protons of the pyridine and the phenylene rings have been observed and measured. The long-range J(CH) values in the ¹H coupled ¹³C spectrum have been assigned and measured on a first-order basis.     

1H NMR studies of solvent effects on hydrogen bonding in some pyridine trifluoroacetates

The chemical shifts of hydrogen bonded protons in complexes of 11 substituted pyridines with trifluoroacetic acid were examined, in five dry solvents of different activity, with respect to proton transfer and aggregation effects. The results were correlated with ΔpK_a, the Kirkwood function and E _T parameters. The solvent effect on the intersection point obtained from the plot of the chemical shift of the hydrogen bonded protons against ΔpK_a can be used, similar to an isotopic effect, to differentiate strong hydrogen bonds. The aggregation of acid–base complexes can lead to downfield or upfield shifts; the variation of chemical shift with aggregation depends on the position of the proton in the hydrogen bridge.     

Detailed assignments of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of 13 beta-substituted cycloenones

Detailed assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data for 13 beta-substituted cycloenones are reported. The assignments are based on 1D (1)H and (13)C NMR and on 2D shift-correlated ((1)H,(13)C-HMQC and HMBC), J-resolved and COSY and double irradiation experiments.     

1H and13C NMR spectral study of the structural effects of substituents in N-vinyl-2-arylpyrroles

Conclusions Alterations of the dihedral angles between the planes of the three unsaturated fragments are interrelated in N-vinyl-2-arylpyrroles. Upon the introduction of a substituent at C³ in the pyrrole ring, the dihedral angle between the planes of the aryl and pyrrole ring increases, while the corresponding angle between the planes of the vinyl group and pyrrole ring decreases.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2765–2769, December, 1988.The authors express their gratitude to V.
