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 and 13C NMR spectra and solution structures of novel derivatives of 5-substituted creatinines

Five creatinine derivatives were prepared by the treatment of creatinine with activated carbon and appropriate alcohol (1-4), or ammonia solution (5). Product structures were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in solution, including 2D HSQC and HMBC experiments. Then, the proton and carbon chemical shifts for these compounds were calculated using GIAO-DFT [B3LYP/6-311G(2d,p)] method and the Gaussian 03W program and furthermore for 1 and 5 using polarizable continuum model (PCM). The conclusions coming from the comparison of the experimental and theoretical spectra supported the adopted signal assignments and solved the structural problems due to the potential annular tautomerism of the investigated compounds. One can predict that 5-substituted creatinines, just like creatinine, appear in solution in the form of 2-amino-1,5-dihydro-1-methyl-4-imidazolone. Correlations between experimental and calculated substituent-induced chemical shifts for two tautomeric forms of 5-substituted creatinines indicate that the mechanism of the substituent influence in both tautomers for the investigated compounds appears to be analogous. We can predict that in solution this accepting inductive effect of substituent groups does not significantly influence the structure of creatinine molecule in solution. The analysis of coupling constants for 5-substituted creatinines gives information about conformation of the investigated molecules in solution.     

Complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data of some flavonol derivatives

Nine flavonol derivatives were studied. Previously reported NMR data of three of these derivatives were corrected. We report complete assignments of the NMR data for six flavonol derivatives not previously studied.     

Tautomerism and 1H and 13C NMR assignment of methyl derivatives of 9-hydroxyphenalenone

9-Hydroxyphenalenone is a planar multicyclic beta-keto-enol that demonstrates C2V symmetry on the NMR timescale. Off-axis substitution breaks the molecular symmetry and results in tautomers. 1H and 13C NMR assignments were made for 9-hydroxyphenalenone and three methyl derivatives, and the solution-phase tautomers were determined.     

Total structural assignment and absolute configuration of terreinol by 13C and 1H NMR

The carbon-carbon connectivity of terreinol, a new metabolite isolated from Aspergillus terreus, and its previous (13)C assignments were confirmed by a two-dimensional INADEQUATE experiment using a few milligrams of the compound with natural (13)C abundance. The carbon-carbon correlations were determined by computational analysis (with >99% probability) of this experiment. Additionally, the absolute configuration of terreinol was achieved indirectly via its corresponding secondary alcohol by the modified Mosher method allied to conformational analysis. The shielding effect of the phenyl group of methoxytrifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) on the substituents of the carbonylic centre gave a fully regular Deltadelta(SR) sign distribution, allowing reliable assignment of the R configuration for terreinol.     

Complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignment of symmetric and asymmetric bis-spiropyran derivatives

(1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of symmetric and asymmetric bis-spiropyrans, Series 1-3, were completely assigned. Especially, the (1)H assignment of asymmetric spiropyrans was achieved by utilizing (1)H-(1)H COSY and nOe experiments. All of the carbons in the dye molecules were investigated through a combination of heteronuclear 2D-shift correlation spectroscopy (HETCOR), together with an attached proton test (APT).     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of N-vinylpyrroles

The position of the substituants in 2, 3-dialkyl-1-vinylpyrroles and 7-methyl-1 vinyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole was established on the basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. It was found that the S-trans conformation of the N-vinyl group is preferred. It is shown that the condensation of ketoximes with acetylene proceeds through the formation of free pyrroles and that vinyl oximes are not intermediates in the condensation.     

Total assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for the sesquiterpene lactone 15-deoxygoyazensolide

We describe a complete analysis of the 1H and 13C spectra of the anti-inflamatory, schistossomicidal and trypanosomicidal sesquiterpene lactone 15-deoxygoyazensolide. This lactone, with a structure similar to other important ones, was studied by NMR techniques such as COSY, HMQC, HMBC, Jres and NOE experiments. The comparison of the data with some computational results led to an unequivocal assignment of all hydrogen and carbon chemical shifts, even eliminating some previous ambiguities. We were able to determine all hydrogen coupling constants (J) and signal multiplicities and to confirm the stereochemistry. A new method for the determination of the relative position of the lactonization and the position of the ester group on a medium-sized ring by NMR was developed.     

Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignment of trans,trans-2,3-divinylfuran derivatives

1H and 13C NMR spectra of trans, trans-2,3-divinylfuran derivatives (1-4) in CDCl3 were fully assigned using one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques. The 1H NMR resonances of ethylenic protons in position 2 with regard to the corresponding protons in position 3 of the furan ring are discussed.     

Synthesis, complete 1H and 13C NMR assignment and crystal structure of novel epoxide derivatives of cytochalasin B

Five novel epoxide derivatives of cytochalasin B were synthesized. Reaction of cytochalasin B with t-BHP and BuLi led to selective epoxidation of the C-21/22 double bond to give a single monoepoxide, while reaction with m-CPBA yielded two diepoxides. Reaction of the monoepoxide with m-CPBA yielded two triepoxides. The relative configurations of the epoxides were elucidated by analogy with the natural product by means of spectroscopic methods; full assignment of NMR signals was achieved, and the absolute configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.     

Complete assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of cis and trans isonucleoside derivatives of purine with a tetrahydropyran ring

¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of cis and trans isonucleoside analogues of purine in which the furanose moiety is substituted by a tetrahydropyran ring were completely assigned using one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR experiments that include NOE, DEPT, COSY and HSQC. The significant ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals differentiating between the cis and trans stereoisomers were compared. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

13C NMR spectra of adamantane derivatives

The carbon-13 chemical shifts of mono- and 1,3-disubstituted adamantanes are reported. The effects caused by the substituents are compared with those met in aliphatic and alicyclic compounds. It is shown that the 1,4-interactions have only minor importance in l-substituted adamantanes. The influence of polar groups on the chemical shifts of γ- and δ-carbon atoms is a typical ‘through-the-bonds’ interaction and correlates with inductive parameters of the substituents.     

Structural elucidation and total assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of new chalcone dimers

Conventional 1D NMR methods and 2D shift‐correlated NMR experiments (COSY, HMQC, HMBC) were used for the structural elucidation and ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts assignments of four new types of chalcone dimers isolated from Myracrodruon urundeuva. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of N-substituted morpholines

(1)H and (13)C NMR data for N-substituted morpholines 1-20 were measured using 1D (DEPT, 1D NOE difference) and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods including (1)H-(1)H COSY, long-range (1)H-(1)H COSY, NOESY, gHMBC and gHMQC experiments. At room temperature the (1)H NMR spectra of protonated compounds 2 and 9 show the chair conformation for the morpholine ring. Spin-spin coupling constants were deduced from the resolution-enhanced proton spectra.
