13C, 15N and 113Cd NMR and Molecular Orbital Studies of Novel Bile Acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amides and Their Cd2+-complexes

Lithocholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide (1) and deoxycholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide(2) have been prepared and characterized by¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR. The accurate molecular masses of 1 and 2 have been determined by ESI MS. The formation of the Cd²⁺-complexes (1+Cd and 2+Cd) in CD₃OD solution have been detected by ¹H,¹³C, ¹⁵N and ¹¹³Cd NMR. The ¹³C NMR chemical shift assignments of 1 and 2 and their Cd²⁺-complexes are based on DEPT-135 and z-GS ¹H,¹³C HMQC experiments as well as comparison with the assignments of the related structures. The ¹⁵N NMR chemical shiftassignments of the ligands and theirCd²⁺-complexes are based on z-GS¹H,¹⁵N HMBC experiments. ¹³C NMR chemical shift differences between 1and its 1:1 Cd²⁺-complex based on ab initiocalculations at Hartree-Fock SCI-PCM level using3-21G(d) basis set are in agreement with theexperimental shift changes observed onCd²⁺-complexation.     

The fully deprotonated anion of 1,3,5-benzene-triphosphonic acid: 1H, 31P,and 13C{1H} NMR and some comments on corresponding [AX]3 and AXX′2 spin systems and spectra

Abstract

The fully deprotonated anion of 1,3,5-benzene-triphosphonic acid 1,3,5-C₆H₃[PO₃^2?]₃ gives rise to deceptively simple ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectra due to a corresponding [AX]₃ spin system. The ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectrum reveals two ¹³C isotopomers which are identified via AXX′₂ systems. Results from analysis and iteration are described.     

SCHWEFELDIIMIDE MIT SILYL-, GERMYL-, STANNYL- UND PHOSPHINYL-HETEROSUBSTITUENTEN. SYNTHESE UND NMR-SPEKTROSKOPISCHE CHARAKTERISIERUNG

Abstract

Reactions of the salts K₂SN₂ and K[(NSN)R] (R = ′Bu, SiMe₃ and P′Bu₂) with organoelement chlorides R′R′ěl have been used to prepare four series of model sulfur diimides: R′R″E(NSN)ER″R′, ′Bu(NSN)ER″R′, Me₃Si(NSN)E″R′ and ^tBu₂P(NSN)ER″R′, respectively (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn; R′ and R″ = alkyl or aryl group). All compounds have been characterized by ′H and ¹³C NMR and—if possible—by ³¹P, ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The configuration (Z or E) of the substituents R and E″R′ has been assigned in several cases using ^tBu(NSN)^tBu (1) as a reference. The E,Z assignment of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N nuclei in 1 is based on selectively ¹H-decoupled refocused INEPT ¹⁵N NMR and two-dimensional (2D) ¹³C/¹H heteronuclear shift correlations. The sulfur diimides under study are in general fluxional in solution.     

Mercury(II) cyanide complexes with alkyldiamines: solid-state/solution NMR,computational, and antimicrobial studies

Mercury cyanide complexes of alkyldiamines (1–6), [Hg(L)(CN)₂] (where L?=?en (1,2-diaminoethane), pn (1,3-diaminopropane), N-Me-en, N, N′-Me₂-en, N, N′-Et₂-en, and N, N′-ipr₂-en), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N solution NMR in DMSO-d₆, as well as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 have been studied computationally, built and optimized by GAUSSIAN03 using DFT at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set. Binding modes of en and bn (where bn?=?1,4-diaminobutane) toward Hg(CN)₂ are completely different. Complexes with en and pn show chelating binding to Hg(II), while bn behaves as a bridging ligand to form a polymeric structure, [Hg(CN)₂-bn]_∞ [B.A. Al-Maythalony, M. Fettouhi, M.I.M. Wazeer, A.A. Isab. Inorg. Chem. Commun., 12, 540 (2009).]. The solution ¹³C NMR of the complexes demonstrates a slight shift of the ?C≡N (0.9 to 2?ppm) and ?C–NH₂ (0.25 to 6?ppm) carbon resonances, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected. ¹⁵N labeling studies have shown involvement of alkyldiamine ligands in coordination to the metal. The principal components of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding tensors have been determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies show that the complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activities toward various microorganisms than Hg(CN)₂.     

Glutaraldehyde - “Pure and Impure.” A Spectroscopic Investigation of Two Commercial Glutaraldehyde Solutions and Their Reaction Products with Amino Acids

Abstract

The composition of two glutaraldehyde solutions with different grades of purity was studied by HPLC, UV, J-H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The reactions between various amino acids and the two glutaraldehyde solutions were investigated by UV spectrophotometry. The impurities in the most impure glutaraldehyde solution could be characterized with UV giving a 235 nm absorption, with HPLC as two peaks with retention times 3.36 and 5.78 min and with ¹³C NMR as small signals in the 102.7-94.9 ppm area. It is proposed that the two glutaraldehyde solutions give different reaction products with amino acids.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of tautomeric conversions in imidazole compounds

A study has been made of¹³C NMR spectra of several series of imidazoles and their salts in solution and in the solid state. It has been shown that in compounds containing a pyridine ring, prototropic tautomerism on the NMR time scale may be retarded. The possible mechanism of these processes is discussed.V. I.

Rapid and novel discrimination and quantification of oleanolic and ursolic acids in complex plant extracts using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy—Comparison with HPLC methods

A novel strategy for NMR analysis of mixtures of oleanolic and ursolic acids that occur in natural products is described. These important phytochemicals have similar structure and their discrimination and quantification is rather difficult. We report herein the combined use of proton-carbon heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (¹H-¹³C HSQC) and proton-carbon heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (¹H-¹³C HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in the identification and quantitation of oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA)in plant extracts of the Lamiaceae and Oleaceae family. The combination of ¹H-¹³C HSQC and ¹H-¹³C HMBC techniques allows the connection of the proton and carbon-13 spins across the molecular backbone resulting in the identification and, thus, discrimination of oleanolic and ursolic acid without resorting to physicochemical separation of the components. The quantitative results provided by 2D ¹H-¹³C HSQC NMR data were obtained within a short period of time (∼14 min) and are in excellent agreement with those obtained by HPLC, which support the efficiency of the suggested methodology.     

13C NMR spectra of azolopyridines and their quaternary salts

¹³ C NMR spectra of some azole series have been investigated: 2-pyridylbenzimidazoles, 2-pyridylimidazo [4,5-b]-pyridines, 2-pyridylimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridines, analogous oxazole compounds, as well as their mono- and bisquaternary salts. Some problems, related to the structure of these compounds in solution, have been discussed.V. I.

Blue-luminescent poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivatives: Synthesis and effect of side-group size on the optical properties

New conjugated polymers based on separated PPV-type chromophores and incorporating different types of solubilizing side-groups (ethoxy: P1, hexyloxy: P2, dodecyloxy: P3 and benzyloxy: P4) were synthesized via Wittig polycondensation, using a series of bisphenol A-derived di(triphenylphosphonium) salts as starting monomers. The polymers are soluble in common organic solvents and their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. The optical properties of these materials were investigated by UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. In dilute solution, quasi-identical fluorescence spectra were obtained and all the polymers showed a blue emission (420, 445 nm) and a narrow spectrum. In thin solid films, the polymers show side-group-dependent optical behavior and, whereas the emission remains blue in the case of P2, P3 and P4, a green fluorescence was observed for the ethoxylated polymer P1. From cyclic voltammetry analysis, the electrochemical band gaps were estimated to be 2.99, 3.07, 3.15 and 3.06 eV for P1, P2, P3 and P4, respectively. Single-layer diode devices of the [indium tin oxide/polymer/aluminum] configuration have been fabricated and show relatively low turn-on voltages between 2.6 and 4.9 V.     

Gold(III)pentafluorophenylarylazoimidazole: Synthesis and spectral (H, C, COSY, HMQC NMR) characterisation

Reaction of [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃(tht)] with RaaiR′ in dichloromethane medium leads to [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃ (RaaiR′)] [RaaiR′=p-R-C₆H₄-N=N-C₃H₂-NN-l-R′, (1-3), R = H (a), Me (b), Cl (c) and R′= Me (1), CH₂CH₃ (2), CH₂Ph (3), tht is tetrahydrothiophen]. The nine new complexes are characterised by ES/MS as well as FAB, IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,¹⁹F) spectroscopic studies. In addition to dimensional NMR studies as¹H,¹H COSY and¹H¹³C HMQC permit complete assignment of the complexes in the solution phase.     

Enzymatically Synthesized Conducting Polyaniline Nanocomposites: A Solid‐State NMR Study

Abstract

The chiral conducting polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites [polyacrylic acid/polyaniline/(?) camphorsulphonic acid (CSA)] were synthesized using enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the aqueous buffer solution at pH 4.3. It appears that the enzyme HRP apart being a biocatalyst, plays an important role during the polymerization, which allows PANI to prefer a specific helical conformation whether the induced chirality in the monomer‐CSA complex is either by (+)CSA or (?)CSA. In this paper, we report, the structural characterization of these nanocomposites by solid‐state ¹³C cross‐polarization with magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR techniques. The structural features of PANI in the conducting form of nanocomposite (as‐synthesized) are similar to that of enzymatically and chemically synthesized PANI. Preliminary data also suggest that some portion of nanocomposite samples are not completely doped. Dedoping of as‐synthesized PANI nanocomposite with aqueous NH₄OH shows the spectral features that of the emeraldine base form. Solid‐state ¹³C NMR data suggest that it is possible to detach PAA and CSA from PANI in the nanocomposite material.     

Synthesis and Investigation of 1,2,3,4-Thiatriazol-5-ylcarbamates

Methyl 1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-ylcarbamate (2a), ethyl 1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-ylcarbamate (2b), 2-butyl 1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-ylcarbamate (2c), allyl 1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-ylcarbamate (2d), and 3-(1,2,3,4-thiatriazol-5-yl)oxazolidin-2-one (2e) were synthesized with high yields by the reaction of the corresponding carbon(isothiocyanatidic) acid, alkyl esters, and sodium azide in aqueous solution. The compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR, vibrational spectroscopy (IR), and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal stability was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry.     

Characterization of cyclotriveratrylene inclusion compounds by means of solid state13C NMR

Solid inclusion compounds of cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) with benzene, toluene, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, acetic acid and chloroform, as well as two hydrated forms, were prepared and characterized by solid state¹³C NMR. The inclusion process for CTV appears to be quite selective, and in some instance depends critically on the presence or absence of water. A number of different structural types are indicated by the solid state¹³C NMR splitting paterns. For the guests listed above,¹H NMR in solution indicated a guest to host ratio close to 0.5, except for chloroform, for which the ratio is closer to 2.     

Tin(IV) Chloride Complexes of β-Chlorovinyl Aldehydes: A Multinuclear Nmr Characterization in Solution

Abstract

The reaction of SnCl₄ with β-chlorovinyl aldehydes in anhydrous dichloromethane gave a series of octahedral complexes of the general formula SnCl₄·2L (L = aldehyde). The adducts have been characterized in solution using multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and IR spectroscopy. Solution NMR studies show that the complexes undergo rapid ligand dissociation at ambient temperature. Ligand exchange is slowed significantly at low temperature, such that, in most of the complexes, it is possible to identify both the cis and trans isomers with predominance of the cis form. The magnitude of the metal-ligand interaction was estimated on the basis of ¹¹⁹Sn NMR chemical shifts and used to classify the aldehydes studied according to their Lewis basicity.     

Precise and accurate quantitative C NMR with reduced experimental time

In order to detect small variations in ¹³C isotopomers concentrations, high sensitivity, accuracy and precision have to be achieved. To assess such criteria, when using ¹³C NMR, ¹³C bi-labelled ethanol has been proposed as a molecular probe. Advantage has been taken of the pre-established structural relationship between the peak areas of the ¹³C NMR spectrum of this molecule, i.e. the ratio of signal areas is set to a fixed value. It is shown that the quality performance, required by quantitative ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, is not affected by a large reduction of the repetition delay using relaxation reagents.     

Latex‐state NMR spectroscopy for quantitative analysis of epoxidized deproteinized natural rubber

Method of quantitative analysis through latex‐state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was established for in situ determination of epoxy group content of epoxidized natural rubber in latex stage. The epoxidized natural rubber latex was prepared by epoxidation of deproteinized natural rubber with freshly prepared peracetic acid in latex stage. The resulting epoxidized deproteinized natural rubber (EDPNR) latex was characterized through latex‐state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Chemical shift values of signals of latex‐state ¹³C NMR spectrum for EDPNR were similar to those of solution‐state ¹³C NMR spectrum for EDPNR. Resolution of latex‐state ¹³C NMR spectrum was gradually improved as temperature for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement increased to 70°C. Signal‐to‐noise ratio of latex‐state ¹³C NMR measurement was similar to that of solution‐state ¹³C NMR measurement at temperature above 50°C. The epoxy group content determined through latex‐state NMR spectroscopy was proved to be the same as that determined through solution‐state NMR spectroscopy.

Kinetic Study of Radical Polymerization v. Determination of Reactivity Ratio in Copolymerization of Acrylonitrile and Itaconic Acid by 1H‐NMR

Many reports exist in the literature about the application of ¹H and ¹³C‐NMR techniques to analyze the copolymer structure and composition and also determination of reactivity ratios. In this work, on‐line ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy has been applied to identify reactivity ratios of itaconic acid and acrylonitrile in the solution phase (DMSO as the solvent) and in the presence of AIBN as the radical initiator. All the peaks corresponding to the existing protons were assigned quietly. Therefore, the kinetics of the copolymerization reaction was investigated by studying the variation of integral of two characteristic peaks regarding each monomer. The obtained data were used to find the reactivity ratios of acrylonitrile and itaconic acid by linear least‐squares methods such as Finemann‐Ross, inverted Finemann‐Ross, Mayo‐Lewis, Kelen‐Tudos, extended Kelen‐Tudos and Mao‐Huglin. In addition, a non‐linear least‐square method (Tidwell‐ Mortimer) was used at low conversions. Extended Kelen‐ Tudos and Mao‐Huglin were applied to determine reactivity ratio values at high conversions as well.     

Modification Study of Aluminum sec-Butoxide by Acrylic Acid

A new way of modifying aluminum sec-butoxide (Al(OBu^s)₃) is proposed. This synthesis is carried out by reacting Al(OBu^s)₃ dissolved in tetrahydrofuran with an unsaturated acid, viz. acrylic acid.The structure evolution of Al(OBu^s)₃ with increasing acrylic acid amounts is investigated by infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopies and viscosity measurements. Information obtained suggests that the exchange reaction occurring between butoxy groups and acrylate ligands is stopped for an acid/alkoxide molar ratio within the range 1.6–1.7. This value leads us to assume that the dominant trimeric species of precursor is preserved after modification. Moreover, ²⁷Al NMR analysis only reveals the presence of hexacoordinated Al sites in the structure of the modified Al(OBu^s)₃.Evidence of the acrylic acid reaction with sec-butanol released during the alkoxide modification is also proved by the infrared and ¹³ C NMR data. However the produced ester amount can be considered as negligible.     

Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Hybridized Silicon Alkoxide: Si(OEt)x(OBut)4-x. Part I: Synthesis and Identification of the Si(OEt)x(OBut)4-x

Using silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄), tert-butanol (t-BuOH), ethanol (EtOH) and NH₃, the hybridized silicon ethoxide 3-tert-butoxide (Si(OEt)_x(OBu^t)_4-x) was synthesized and the configuration of the material was investigated by FT-IR,¹ H and ¹³C NMR and gas chromatogram/mass spectrum (GC/MS) techniques. The results confirm that both the ethoxy and the tert-butoxy groups have been attached to silicon atoms. Furthermore, the alkoxy group types and their relative amounts in the alkoxide were also determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and GC/MS.     

A C and N experimental NMR and theoretical study of the structure of linear primary aliphatic amines and ammonium salts: from C1 to C18

Eighteen aliphatic linear amines, from methylamine to stearylamine, have been experimentally studied by NMR and theoretically calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. A partial exploration of their conformation has been carried out, mainly to determine the effect on the chemical shifts. In solution and for neutral amines, ¹⁵N chemical shifts indicate a mixture of two conformations. In the solid state (CPMAS NMR) only the subset of solid amines has been studied (from C14 to C18). The ¹⁵N signals of the corresponding ammonium salts in the solid state depend on the counteranions, Cl⁻ and CF₃CO₂⁻, a result that is theoretically proven.
