Synthesis and nmr analysis of cyclo-[85% 13C-asp]-pro: 13C-13C vicinal coupling constants and conformation

The dipeptide cyclo(Asp-Pro) where the aspartic acid residue was 85% ¹³C enriched, was synthesized with the aim of analyzing its conformation in solution by using ¹C-¹H, ¹³H-¹H and ¹³C-¹³C coupling constant parameters. The values of these couplings agree well with each other and show that the side chain of the aspartic acid residue adopts privileged conformations the proportions of which vary somewhat with pH, and more weakly, with a change in solvent. The ¹³C-¹³C interresidue coupling constants ³J_Cl'–_C2^β and ³J_Cl'–_C2^γ obtained after long accumulation of the signals of unenriched carbons, have different values; they show puckering in the pyrrolidine ring similar to that found in cyclo(Leu-Pro) in the solid state. It was concluded that ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants represent an excellent means of determining the side chain conformation (whenever the incorporation of an enriched amino acid into the peptide is possible) that will find applications particularly in the case of peptides with complicated proton spectra.     

13C-13C Coupling Constants in Structural Studies: XXXIII. Stereochemical Study of the Pyranose Ring

¹³C-¹³C coupling constants for all aldopyranoses of the D-series were calculated in terms of the self-consistent finite perturbation theory.

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C-<Superscript>13</Superscript>C spin-spin coupling constants in structural studies: XLIV. Carbonyl-containing oximes

¹³C-¹³C spin-spin coupling constants in carbonyl-containing oximes were calculated in terms of the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) with account taken of the results of theoretical conformational analysis. Stable conformations of all carbonyl-containing oximes were found to have s-trans orientation of the carbonyl group in the E and Z isomers. The corresponding ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants showed a characteristic dependence upon internal rotation of the carbonyl-containing substituent, which may be used to determine predominant rotational conformations of these compounds. A relation between orientation of the C=O bond and ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants for the adjacent bonds in oximes was revealed; it may be attributed to hyperconjugation between the corresponding carbon-carbon bond and antibonding orbital of the C=O bond.

Stereospecificity of <Superscript>13</Superscript>C shielding constants in acetone azine as a tool for configurational assignment of ketone azines

According to the ¹³C NMR data, the chemical shift of the methyl carbon atom in acetone azine in the trans position with respect to the lone electron pair on the neighboring nitrogen atom is lower by 7 ppm than that of the methyl carbon atom in the cis position. The corresponding direct ¹³C-¹³C coupling constant for the trans-methyl groups is lower by 10 Hz as compared to the cis-methyl groups. The experimental spectral data are reproduced well by nonempirical quantum-chemical calculations. The observed stereospecificity of ¹³C chemical shifts and ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants may be used as an effective tool in configurational analysis of various ketone azines.
