Etude en RMN de l'Association des Sels de Lanthanides avec des Phénols; Application à la Détermination de Structure de Polyphénols Naturels

Interaction of lanthanide salts with phenols in DMSO solution was investigated as a tool for ¹H NMR structure determination in the field of naturally-occurring polyphenolic compounds. Intermolecular competition experiments evidenced reactivity differences with respect to the nature and position of substituents. Empirical rules of reactivity are suggested from which variations observed in the PMR chemical shifts on addition of lanthanide salts to natural polyphenols (flavones, xanthones) were rationalized.

Identification of xanthones and new arabinosides of flavone C-glucosides from Swertia perennis L. – Seven tetraoxygenated xanthones [1,3,7,8-tetrahydroxy-xanthone ( 1 ); 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-xanthone ( 2 ); 1,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy-xanthone ( 3 ); 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy-xanthone ( 4 ); 3,7,8-trihydroxy-xanthone-xanthone-1-0-β-glucoside ( 5 ); 3,7,8-trimethoxy-xanthone-1-0-primeveroside ( 6 ); 8-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-xanthone-1-0-primeveroside ( 7 )] have been isolated chromatographically, using polyamide columns, from roots of Swertia perennis L . From leaves and stems of the same plant, six xanthones [1,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxy-xanthone ( 8 ); 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-xanthone-8-0-β-glucoside ( 9 ); mangiferin ( 10 ); 1 ; 4 ; 5 ] and four flavone C-glycosides [iso-orientin ( 11 ); isovitexin ( 12 ); iso-orientin-6″-arabinoside ( 13 ); isovitexin-6″-arabinoside ( 14 )] have also been isolated.

13C NMR-spectroscopy of substituted xanthones—III: Computer supported structure elucidation of polyhydroxy xanthones

A procedure for developing ¹³C NMR chemical shift additivity rules for all 136 polyhydroxy xanthones, which is based on the method of multiple linear regression analysis with dummy parameters, is reported. A computer search program is presented, which rapidly identifies unkown polyhydroxy xanthones with the help of these additivity rules. The working mode is described and its selectivity demonstrated by means of examples from literature.     

77Se n.m.r. studies of organoselenium compounds: III—substituent effects in 4,4′-disubstituted diphenyl selenides and 4,4′-disubstituted diphenylmethanes studied by 1H, 13C and 77Se spectroscopy

⁷⁷Se N.m.r. spectra of 4,4′-disubstituted diphenyl selenides have been obtained. The chemical shifts could be correlated with substituent constants of the Hammett type or with Swain and Lupton two-parameter equations. No correlations were observed between these ⁷⁷Se shifts and the ¹³C shifts of the CH₂ group of 4,4′-disubstituted diphenylmethanes, the latter shifts showing no correlation with substituent constants. On the other hand linear correlation was observed between the ⁷⁷Se shifts of the 4,4′-disubstituted diphenyl selenides and the ¹H shifts of the CH₂ group of the diphenylmethanes, the ¹³C shifts of their 1-carbons and the ¹⁹F shifts of 4-substituted fluorobenzenes.

Anomalous 13C Isotropic NMR Shifts in Tetraalkylammonium Tetrahalometallate(II) Ion Pairs. I. Organic Substituent Effects

¹³C isotropic NMR shifts have been recorded for a number of tetrahalocobaltate(II) salts containing various quaternary ammonium cations in dichloromethane and nitrobenzene solution. The isotropic shifts are a consequence of ion- aggregate formation, and show great sensitivity to changes in the organic substituents about the -onium centre. The ¹³C shifts appear to be due in large measure to a predominantly Fermi contact (through-bond) mechanism, unlike the more usual shifts encountered in lanthanide-containing systems. The observed shift patterns correlate well with steric effects induced by the presence or absence of bulky substituents near the central cation nitrogen atom.     

Predicting 15N amide chemical shifts in proteins. I. An additive model for the backbone contribution

Because proteins adopt unique structures, chemically identical nuclei in proteins exhibit different chemical shifts. Amide ¹⁵N chemical shifts have been shown to vary over 20 ppm. The cause of these chemical shift inequivalencies is the different intra‐ and intermolecular interactions that individual nuclei experience at different locations in the protein structure. These chemical shift inequivalencies can be described as structural shifts, the difference between the actual chemical shift and the random coil chemical shift. As a first step toward the prediction of these amide ¹⁵N structural shifts, calculations have been carried out on acetyl‐glycine‐methyl amide to examine how a neighboring peptide group influences the amide ¹⁵N structural shifts. The ϕ,ψ dihedral angle space is completely surveyed, while all other geometrical variables are held fixed, to isolate the effect of the backbone conformation. Similar calculations for a limited number of conformations of acetyl‐glycine‐glycine‐methyl amide were carried out, where the effects of the two terminal peptide groups on the central amide ¹⁵N structural shift are examined. It is shown that the effect of the two adjacent groups can be accurately modeled by combining their individual effects additively. This provides a quite simple method to predict the backbone influence on amide ¹⁵N structural shifts in proteins. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 22: 366–372, 2001     

n-π-Interaction in Enamines and Enaminoketones. A 15N-NMR. Study

¹⁵N-Chemical shifts of 32 enamines, 11 enaminoketones and 28 closely related amines have been determined with the isotope in natural abundance. In order to eliminate substituent effects, differential chemical shifts Δδ(N) are defined as δ_N(amine)-δ_N(enamine). This parameter is shown to correlate well with the free enthalpy of activation ΔG# for restricted rotation about the N? C(α) bond in enamines with extended conjugation. Δδ(N) values of substituted anilinostyrenes correlate also with ¹³C-chemical shifts of the β-carbon in the enamine system and with Hammett σ-constants of the aniline substituents. The experimental results suggest that differential ¹⁵N shifts are a useful probe to study n, π-interaction in enamines.     

Temperature effects on 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of normal alkanes and some line r and branched 1-alkenes

¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of a number of 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes are presented. Moreover, effects of changing temperatures on the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of some of these compounds as well as of three normal alkanes are given. These variations in chemical shifts are attributed to varying amounts of sterically induced shifts in the different conformational equilibria. In addition to the well-known 1,4 interaction between two alkyl groups shielding effects on the carbon atoms of the connecting bonds are also proposed. No definite explanation of this effect is presented at this time. It is further shown that no simple correlations exist between ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts and calculated total charge densities at this level. Instead, the experimental results in 1-alkenes are rationalized by assuming a linear dependence of the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of C-1 and C-2 via rehybridizations on changes in bond angles for small skeletal deformations caused by steric interactions. These changes in geometries, as well as conformational energies in three 1-alkenes, were calculated by means of VFF calculations. Finally. upfield shifts for both C-2 and C-4 are proposed for those conformations of 1-alkenes in which the C-3? C-4 group interacts with the p_z-orbital of C-2.     

Methods for the structural investigation of xanthones: Part II. Location of hydroxyl groups by ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy1

Ultraviolet spectral shifts in presence of certain additives may be used to determine the hydroxylation pattern of xanthones. Thus, 3-hydroxyxanthones are characterized by an intense band around 355 nm which appears in presence of sodium hydroxide, o- and p-Dihydroxyxanthones decompose in presence of this reagent, the reaction rate depending on the position of the substituents. While the spectra of 1-and 2-hydroxyxanthones do not suffer modification in presence of sodium acetate, 3- and 4-hydroxy groups produce typical shifts which are dependent on the presence of additional oxygen functions. The spectra of 1-hydroxy-, as well as of o-dihydroxyxanthones, are affected by the addition of aluminum chloride. 1- and 4-Hydroxy groups with unsubstituted p-positions may be detected and distinguished through the visible spectrum (350–750 nm) of the reaction product of the xanthone with 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone chloroimide (Gibbs test). Relatively acidic hydroxyls give rise to two maxima in this region. Two maxima, even if of different relative intensity, are also obtained with o- and p-dihydroxy-, as well as with o- and p-hydroxyallylxanthones.     

15N n.m.r.: Substituent effects on nitrogen chemical shifts in anilinium ions

¹⁵N chemical shifts were measured in a series of anilinium fluorosulfonate salts and compared with chemical shift data from a comparable series of ¹⁵N-enriched aniline derivatives. A smaller overall range of nitrogen chemical shifts was observed for the protonated aniline series compared with that for the unprotonated anilines and is attributed to the elimination of nitrogen lone pair delocalization in the former series. Further-more, it was found that the range of nitrogen chemical shifts in the protonated anilines is determined primarily by substituent electronic effects from the ortho ring position with almost negligible contributions from the para position.     

Application of Lanthanide Shift Reagent to the 1H-NMR Assignments of Acridone Alkaloids

This study investigates the application of the paramagnetic shift reagent tris(dipivaloylmethanato)-europium(III) in NMR spectral studies of permethoxyacridone alkaloids (1–3) and pyranoacridone alkaloids (4–6). The induced chemical shifts (∆δ) of all protons were observed for the same molecule, and were compared to deduce the positions resulting from the distance nearby the Eu(dpm)₃. Assignment of the H-2, H-4 and H-8 of polysubstituted acridones could be distinguished based on the least-squares method of lanthanide-induced shifts plotted against the mole ratios of Eu(dpm)₃ to the substrate. The developed method is not only potentially useful for determining the planar structures of polysubstituted compounds, such as acridones, anthraquinones, xanthones, flavonoids, and phenanthrenes, but also applicable for their stereochemistry.
