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-NMR spectra of fluorinated molecules using 19F-13C polarization transfer

¹³C-NMR spectra of fluorinated molecules are difficult to observe under conventional broad-band proton decoupling. The large coupling constants involved make polarization transfer between fluorine and carbon, using INEPT or DEPT experiments very effective while broad band fluorine decoupling collapses the multiplet pattern.     

Biosynthese de la botryodiplodine,mycotoxine de penicillium roqueforti: Incorporations d'acetate[1-13C], [2-13C], [1-2 13C]et d'acide orsellinique 2-13C-carboxyle 13C], [3-4 13C]

Incorporations of [1-¹³C], [2-¹³C], [1-2¹³C]acetate and [2-¹³C, carboxyl-¹³C], [3-4¹³C]orsellinic acid into botryodiplodin indicate that this mycotoxin is biosynthesized by the polyketide pathway. Orsellinic acid is a precursor of botryodiplodin. A biosynthetic pathway, using orsellinic acid as precursor, is proposed.     

13C- und 199Sn-NMR untersuchungen an alkinylstannanen

Chemical shifts δ(¹³C), δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and coupling constants J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C) for alkynylstannanes of the type R_4-nSn(CCR′)_n (n = 1–4) are reported. The values of ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C) and ²J(¹¹⁹SnC¹³C) depend upon the nature of the substituent R′. ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C) in Sn(CCCH₃)₄ is 1168 Hz, much larger than a value predicted in the literature of ca. 700 Hz. The comparison of δ(¹¹⁹Sn) for (CH₃)₂Sn(CCR′)₂ and 1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1-stannacyclohexadi-2,5-ene suggests that the δ(¹¹⁹Sn) of alkynylstannanes are determined only to a small extent by the diamagnetic anisotropic effect of the CC-triple bond.     

Fourier 13C NMR and PMR including 13C satellites of oriented cyanopropyne

Fourier ¹³C and proton NMR spectra of cyanopropyne partially oriented by a nematic phase have been recorded and interpreted. It is shown that more accurate measurements are obtained much more rapidly by observing ¹³C satellites by Fourier PMR than by direct observation of the ¹³C spectrum. The geometry has been extracted from direct couplings; a small but systematic discrepancy with microwave spectroscopy is observed for the carboncarbon bond lengths.     

29Si and 13C NMR spectra of permethylpolysilanes

²⁹Si, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra are reported for the series of linear permethylpolysilanes Me(SiMe₂)_nMe where n = 1 to 6, for the cyclic permethylpolysilanes (Me₂Si)_n where n = 5 to 8, and for a few related compounds. For linear polysilanes the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts can be accurately calculated from simple additivity relationships based on the number of silicon atoms in α, β, γ and δ positions. Adjacent (α) silicon atoms lead to upfield shifts in the ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances, whereas more remote silicon atoms lead to downfield shifts. The ²⁹Si chemical shifts of the polysilane chains are linearly related to the ¹³C shifts of the carbon atoms attached to the silicon. The ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances of the cyclic silanes deviate from this relationship. Ring current effects arising from σ delocalization are suggested as an explanation for the deviations. Proton-coupled ²⁹Si NMR spectra are reported for Me₃SiSiMe₃ and for (Me₂Si)_n, n = 5 to 7.     

Vibrational energy transfer between 12C16O and 13C16O

The rate of the energy exchange process ¹²C¹⁶O (v= 1)+ ¹³C¹⁶O (v= 0) ? ¹²C¹⁶O (v= 0) +¹³C¹⁶O (v= 1) + 47.2 cm^?1 has been measured by laser-induced fluorescence, k₂ = (7.2 ± 0.3) × 10⁴ s^?1 Torr^?1 at 293 K. This result is in reasonable agreement with that predicted by theories based on long-range dipole-dipole interactions

Several pure rotational transitions in the ground state of methane ¹³CD₄ have been observed. The centrifugal distortion moment θ_z^xy has been determined from second order Stark effect as (1,20 ± 0,10) × 10^?5 D ? ? (4,01 ± 0,33) × 10^?35 Cm.     

Synthesis of double-13C-labeled imidazole derivatives

Double-¹³C-labeled imidazole-4-carboxamide (ICA: ¹³C₂-1) and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-riboside (AICAr: ¹³C₂-5) were synthesized from stable isotope-labeled sodium cyanide and triethyl orthoformate. The key intermediate, 4-aminoimidazole-5-carboxamide (AICA: ¹³C₂-4), should also provide access to double-¹³C-labeled histidine and adenosine derivatives via reported methods.

¹³CNMR spectra of eight pterocarpans are reported Assignments are based on multiplicities and second-order features in off-resonance decoupled spectra and on chemical shifts in model compounds. Comparison of the degree of long-range (C, H) coupling in ¹H-coupled spectra is found useful     

Eu luminescence in La5Si2BO13 with apatite related structure and magnetic studies in Ln5Si2BO13 (Ln=Gd, Dy)

Eu³⁺ photoluminescence is studied in La₅Si₂BO₁₃ with apatite related structure. La_5−xEu_xSi₂BO₁₃ [x=0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0] compositions are synthesized. The emission results shows that Eu³⁺ ions occupy two different cationic sites viz., La(1) and La(2). The increase in the intensity of ⁵D₀-⁷F₀ line with increasing Eu³⁺ content shows the preferential occupancy of Eu³⁺ in La(2) site due to the existence of short La(2)-O(4) (free oxide ion) bond. The observation of antiferromagnetic interactions in Gd and Dy analogues supports the structural features elucidates from photoluminescence studies.

Cu2Sc2Ge4O13, a novel germanate isotypic with the quasi-1D compound Cu2Fe2Ge4O13 between 100 and 298 K

The germanate compound Cu₂Sc₂Ge₄O₁₃ has been synthesized by solid-state ceramic sintering techniques between 1173 and 1423 K. The structure was solved from single-crystal data by Patterson methods. The title compound is monoclinic, a=12.336(2) Å, b=8.7034(9) Å, c=4.8883(8) Å, β=95.74(2), space group P2₁/m, Z=4. The compound is isotypic with Cu₂Fe₂Ge₄O₁₃, described very recently. The structure consists of crankshaft-like chains of edge-sharing ScO₆ octahedra running parallel to the crystallographic b-axis. These chains are linked laterally by [Cu₂O₆]⁸⁻ dimers forming a sheet of metal-oxygen-polyhedra within the a-b plane. These sheets are separated along the c-axis by [Ge₄O₁₃]¹⁰⁻ units. Cooling to 100 K does not alter the crystallographic symmetry of Cu₂Sc₂Ge₄O₁₃. While the b, c lattice parameter and the unit cell volume show a positive linear thermal expansion (α=6.4(2)×10⁻⁶, 5.0(2)×10⁻⁶ and 8.3(2)×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ respectively), the a lattice parameter exhibits a negative thermal expansion (α=−3.0(2)×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) for the complete T-range investigated. This negative thermal expansion of a is mainly due to the increase of the Cu-Cu interatomic distance, which is along the a-axis. Average bond lengths remain almost constant between 100 and 298 K, whereas individual ones partly show both significant shortages and lengthening.     

Microwave spectra of tetrahydroselenophene-α13C, -β13C and molecular ring structure

Microwave spectra of isotopic species α-¹³C and β-¹³C of tetrahydroselenophene molecules have been investigated and rotational constants determined: A = 5608.98 Mc, B = 2819.532 Mc, C = 2022.624 Mc forα-¹³C isotopic species and A = 5695.94 Mc, B = 2770.714 Mc, C = 2009.166 Mc for β-¹³C isotopic species. The r_s-ring structure was found to be Se-C₂ = 1.963 Å, C₂-C₃ = 1.549 Å, C₃-C₄ = 1.527 Å, ∠C₅SeC₂ = 90° 44', ∠SeC₂C₃ = 104° 58', ∠C₂C₃C₄ = 106° 52', the angle of twist = 29° 44'.     

14N and 13C NMR of tautomeric systems of hydroxy-pyridines

¹⁴N NMR is shown to be an efficient method of investigation of the tautomeric equilibria in hydroxy-and related substituted pyridines. Large relative ¹⁴N chemical shifts within tautomeric pairs estimated from N-Me and O-Me derivatives make possible quantitative determinations of the equilibria. Qualitative conclusions may be drawn from ¹⁴N line widths as well as from ¹³C and proton chemical shifts.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of 12CN− and 13CN− adsorbed at silver electrodes

Measurements are reported of the surface-enhanced Raman of ¹²CN and ¹³CN (and of isotopically labelled mixtures) adsorbed at silver electrodes. The spectra are shown to arise from a complex species whose coordination number does not change with electrode potential. This species is probably a [Ag(CN₂)]^? entity having C_2v symmetry; at very negative potentials a reduced form of this complex [Ag(CN)₂]^2? coexists with the formally Ag¹ species at the surface. The shifts in band position are interpreted in terms of changes in the bond character of the adsorbed CN^? species. The spectrum of water coadsorbed with CN^? is also markedly dependent on the charge density of the adsorbed CN^? groups.
