Synthesis and structure elucidation of three series of nitro‐2‐styrylchromones using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy

2‐Styrylchromones, although scarce in nature, constitute a group of oxygen heterocyclic compounds which have shown significant biological activities. New nitro‐2‐styrylchromones have been synthesised by the Baker–Venkataraman method, and the structure elucidation was accomplished using extensive 1D (1H, 13C) and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies (COSY, HSQC and HMBC experiments).

Structure elucidation of a novel group of dithiocarbamate derivatives using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy

Compounds 1-7 form a novel group of dithiocarbamates, first synthesized from the reaction of a series of primary amines with carbon disulfide and 3-bromo ethyl pyruvate in the presence of anhydrous potassium phosphate. Structure elucidation of this group of compounds was accomplished using extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies, including (1)H, (13)C, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and gHMBC experiments. The distinction between the linear structures I, II and the cyclic structure III was made mainly on the basis of the analysis of the cross peak between H-2 and H-4a in the COSY spectra, in combination with the long-range correlation between H-2 and C-4, 6 in the gHMBC spectra.

Synthesis and structure elucidation of a series of pyranochromene chalcones and flavanones using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography

A series of novel pyranochromene chalcones and corresponding flavanones were synthesized. This is the first report on the confirmation of the absolute configuration of chromene‐based flavanones using X‐ray crystallography. These compounds were characterized by 2D NMR spectroscopy, and their assignments are reported herein. The 3D structure of the chalcone 3b and flavanone 4g was determined by X‐ray crystallography, and the structure of the flavanone was confirmed to be in the S configuration at C‐2.

This paper describes the unequivocal structural elucidation of a new kind of Delta2-pyrazoline derivatives carried out by means of monodimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies, bidimensional ones such as HMBC and HMQC experiments, and NOEDIFF effects. Conformational analysis of this molecule agrees very well with the experimentally NOEDIFF effects found.     

Epikatonic acid from Austroplenckia populnea: structure elucidation by 2D NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography

From the chloroform extract of Austroplenckia populnea, epikatonic acid, friedelin, populnonic acid, abruslactone A, salaspermic acid and 22β‐epi‐maytenfolic acid were isolated. The structure and stereochemistry of epikatonic acid were established by two‐dimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques (HMQC, HMBC and NOESY) and later confirmed by single crystal X‐ray diffraction as 3β‐hydroxy‐olean‐12‐en‐29‐oic acid, which unambiguously established the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C‐3 as 3β‐OH and the carboxyl group at C‐20 as 20α‐COOH. The crystal structure shows two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal packing is stabilized by four O–H·O intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which give rise to infinite double chains along the c axis. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Investigation of microstructure of the acrylonitrile‐styrene copolymers by 2‐D NMR spectroscopy

Acrylonitrile‐Styrene (A/S) copolymers were prepared by photopolymerization using uranyl nitrate ion as initiator. The copolymer compositions were determined by elemental analysis, and comonomer reactivity ratios were determined by nonlinear least squares error in variables method (EVM). The complete spectral assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H‐NMR spectra were done with the help of Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) and by the two dimensional ¹³C‐¹H Heteronuclear Single Quantum Correlation (HSQC) and TOCSY experiments. The methylene and methine carbon resonance show both stereochemical and compositional sensitivity. The 2‐D Total Correlated Spectroscopy (TOCSY) experiment was used to ascertain the various geminal coupling between the methylene protons. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

4,8‐Di­methoxy‐1‐naphthalene­methanol

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₄O₃, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c with one mol­ecule as the asymmetric unit. Each hydroxyl O atom is involved in hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl O atoms. The resulting chains of interactions propagate along [001]. In these interactions, the hydroxyl H atoms are disordered and the O?O distances are 2.648 (2) and 2.698 (2) Å. Two leading intermolecular C—H?O interactions have H?O distances of 2.80 and 2.84 Å and C—H?O angles of 136 and 144°; these interactions form chain and ring patterns. Taken together with the hydrogen bonds, they result in a three‐dimensional network.

The structure and ¹³C NMR assignments of 3α‐hydroxyolean‐12‐en‐30‐oic acid (20‐epi‐katonic acid), a novel pentacyclic triterpene isolated from the aerial parts of Bocconia arborea (Papaveraceae), are reported. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

2‐Chloro‐4,6‐di­methoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine

The mol­ecules of 2‐chloro‐4,6‐di­methoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine, C₅H₆ClN₃O₂, lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. There is a close contact of 3.180 (3) Å between one of the methyl C atoms and the N atom of a neighboring mol­ecule. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements show that methyl rearrangement does not take place in the solid state, despite the close proximity of the methyl group to the N atom.     

Co‐crystals of 3‐deoxy‐3‐fluoro‐α‐d‐glucopyranose and 3‐deoxy‐3‐fluoro‐β‐d‐glucopyranose

3‐Deoxy‐3‐fluoro‐d ‐glucopyranose crystallizes from acetone to give a unit cell containing two crystallographically independent molecules. One of these molecules (at site A) is structurally homogeneous and corresponds to 3‐deoxy‐3‐fluoro‐β‐d ‐glucopyranose, C₆H₁₁FO₅, (I). The second molecule (at site B) is structurally heterogeneous and corresponds to a mixture of (I) and 3‐deoxy‐3‐fluoro‐α‐d ‐glucopyranose, (II); treatment of the diffraction data using partial‐occupancy oxygen at the anomeric center gave a high‐quality packing model with an occupancy ratio of 0.84:0.16 for (II):(I) at site B. The mixture of α‐ and β‐anomers at site B appears to be accommodated in the lattice because hydrogen‐bonding partners are present to hydrogen bond to the anomeric OH group in either an axial or equatorial orientation. Cremer–Pople analysis of (I) and (II) shows the pyranosyl ring of (II) to be slightly more distorted than that of (I) [θ_(I) = 3.85 (15)° and θ_(II) = 6.35 (16)°], but the general direction of distortion is similar in both structures [ϕ_(I) = 67 (2)° (B_C1,C4) and ϕ_(II) = 26.0 (15)° (^C3TB_C1); B = boat conformation and TB = twist‐boat conformation]. The exocyclic hydroxymethyl (–CH₂OH) conformation is gg (gauche–gauche) (H5 anti to O6) in both (I) and (II). Structural comparisons of (I) and (II) to related unsubstituted, deoxy and fluorine‐substituted monosaccharides show that the gluco ring can assume a wide range of distorted chair structures in the crystalline state depending on ring substitution patterns.     

1‐Chloro‐3,6‐di­methoxy‐2,5‐di­methyl­benzene and 1‐chloro‐3,6‐di­methoxy‐2,4‐di­methyl­benzene

The title compounds, 1‐chloro‐3,6‐di­methoxy‐2,5‐di­methyl­benzene, (IIIa), and 1‐­chloro‐3,6‐di­methoxy‐2,4‐di­methyl­benzene, (IIIb), both C₁₀H₁₃ClO₂, were obtained from 2,5‐ and 2,6‐di­methyl‐1,4‐benzo­quinone, respectively, and are intermediates in the synthesis of ammonium quinone derivatives. The isomers have different substituents around the methoxy groups and crystallize in different space groups. In both mol­ecules, the methoxy groups each have different orientations with respect to the benzene ring. In both cases, one methoxy group lies in the plane of the ring and can participate in conjugation with the aromatic system, while the second is almost perpendicular to the plane of the aromatic ring. The C—O—C bond angles around these substituents are also different: 117.5 (4) and 118.2 (3)° in (IIIa) and (IIIb), respectively, when the methoxy groups lie in the plane of the ring, and 114.7 (3) and 113.6 (3)° in (IIIa) and (IIIb), respectively, when they are out of the plane of the ring.
