Group IV organometal derivatives of pyridine. I—A 1H and 13C NMR investigation of trialkylmetal derivatives of pyridine

The proton and carbon-13 NMR spectra of thirteen trialkylmetal derivatives of pyridine, several of which were previously unknown, have been recorded and analysed. The proton NMR spectra show variations in proton chemical shifts but not in proton-proton coupling constants when the metal substituent is changed; the ring proton-metal coupling constants ⁿJ(M? H) in the tin and lead derivatives correspond closely with the corresponding proton-proton couplings ⁿJ(H? H) in pyridine. The carbon-13 chemical shifts of the carbons bound to the metal can apparently be correlated with the electron-donating ability of the trialkylmetal group. In the trimethylstannylpyridines the value of ¹J(Sn? C_ring) varies greatly with the position of the Me₃Sn group.     

13C and 29Si chemical shifts and coupling constants involving tris[(trimethylsilyl)methyl] silicon compounds

Silicon-29(δ²⁹Si) NMR chemical shifts are reported for the first time of tris[(trimethylsilyl)methyl] silicon compounds (disilylated derivatives) (Me₃Si^A)₃ C_αL, where L = Si^BR₁R₂R₃ and where R varies widely in electronegativity. ²⁹Si chemical shifts exhibit good correlation with the electronegativities of the groups bonded to the silicon atom. The ¹³C NMR spectra of these compounds have been recorded and assigned. δ¹³C_α is shown to depend on the type of substitutent on Si^B. The variation of ²⁹SiH coupling constants with electronegativity of R is studied.     

Zur Interpretation 29Si-NMR-chemischer Verschiebungen

The ²⁹Si-NMR chemical shifts δ(²⁹Si) of (CH₃)_4?nSiX_n compounds and some ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts δ(¹³C) of analogous carbon compounds are discussed by means of relative paramagnetic screening constants σ*, calculated by a simplified model. In this model only the Si(3P)- and C(2P)-orbitals are considered; for the calculations, the electronegativities of Si, C and the X-substituents and a single empirical parameter are necessary. The calculated values of σ* are in good agreement with the change of the chemical shifts which are observed for the (CH₃)_4?nMX_n compounds with different X and n. These results clearly show that δ(²⁹Si) and δ(¹³C) depend primarily on the σ-charge of the Si- and C-atom, and that (P? d)π-interactions on the Si-atom are of minor importance.     

NMR study of organosilicon compounds. III—Silicon-29, nitrogen-14, carbon-13 and proton NMR spectra of silylakylamines

²⁹Si, ¹⁴N ¹³C and ¹H NMR data are presented for a series of homologous (methylethoxysilyl)alkylamines of the type (CH₃)_3?n(C₂H₅O)_nSi(CH₂)_mNH₂(n=o to 3; m = 1 to 4). The measured ¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts correlate with the total net charges Q_A on the corressponding atoms, estimated by the Del Re method. ¹⁴N and ²⁹Si chemical shifts which do not show simple linear relationships to the charges are found to correlate with the relative basicities of the compounds. The influence of the remote substituent (? NH₂ and others) on the ₂₉Si chemical shifts is shown to depend on the number and nature of substituents directly on the silicon atom. Argyments for d-orbital participation in the Si? O bounds are given. The chemical shifts of ²⁹Si, ¹⁴N and ₁₃C nuclei are not consistent with the fromation of intramolecular ‘long bonds’ between the solicon and nitrogen atoms in aliphatic silymethylamines.     

13C n.m.r. spectroscopy of diethyl alkyl- and benzyl-phosphonates. A study of phosphorus–carbon spin–spin coupling constants over one to seven bonds

¹³C chemical shifts and ³¹P? ¹³C spin–spin coupling constants are reported for 10 alkyl-, 20 benzyl- and 3 (naphthylmethyl)-phosphonates. While in saturated aliphatic chains P–C couplings over more than four bonds cannot be resolved, couplings over up to seven bonds are observed in the benzyl type systems. Conformational and substituent effects on J(PC) are studied and discussed. ⁿJ(PF) (n = 4, 5, 6) are reported for the isomeric (fluorobenzyl)phosphonates and ⁿJ(PP) (n = 5, 6, 7) were obtained from the ¹³C satellites in the ³¹P n.m.r. spectra of the isomeric diphosphonates, C₆H₄[CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂]₂. Comparison of those ¹³C absorptions of the latter, which represent the X parts of ABX or AA′X spin systems, with the spectra of the corresponding (methylbenzyl)phosphonates, CH₃C₆H₄CH₂P(O)(OEt)₂, yielded the relative signs of ⁿJ(PC) (n = 2–6).     

Determination of the orientational ordering of 4′-cyanophenyl-4-alkylbenzoates by 13C NMR

Abstract

The orientational ordering of three 4′-cyanophenyl-4-alkylbenzoates (with number of carbons in the alkyl chain, n = 6,7 and 8; hereafter abbreviated as n-CPBs) has been investigated by ¹³C NMR. The order parameters of different molecular segments in the nematic phase of the n-CPBs were determined by the two-dimensional technique of separated local field (SLF) spectroscopy combined with off-magic-axis, variable-angle spinning (VAS) of the sample. The carbon-13 chemical shifts for each carbon nucleus in these compounds were determined by slowly spinning the sample parallel to the applied magnetic field. The order parameters obtained from SLF/VAS studies are linearly related to the corresponding anisotropic carbon-13 chemical shifts. These results provide a convenient way to obtain the order parameters for other homologous members of this liquid crystal series by direct measurement of only their carbon-13 chemical shifts in conjunction with the observed linear relationship between order parameters and chemical shifts.     

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.     

15N NMR spectroscopy of 3‐substituted 5‐trichloromethyl‐1,2‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolium chlorides

¹⁵N NMR data of a series of 3‐alkyl[aryl] substituted 5‐trichloromethyl‐1,2‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazolium chlorides (where the 3‐substituents are H, Me, Et, n‐Pr, n‐Bu, n‐Pe, n‐Hex, (CH₂)₅CO₂Et, CH₂Br, Ph and 4‐Br‐C₆H₄), are reported. The ¹⁵N substituent chemical shifts (SCS) parameters are determined and these data are compared with the ¹³C SCS values and data obtained by MO calculations.

Carbon-proton coupling constants in α-chlorostyrene-α-13C

The two stereochemically distinct two-bond carbon-13- hydrogen coupling constants J(¹³C? CH), for α-chlorostyrene-α-¹³C have been shown to be of similar magnitude but opposite sign (?6.3 and +5.6 Hz). A simple additivity relationship which adequately reproduces all the reported J(¹³C? CH) values for chloroethylenes has been found.     

Stereochemical non-rigidity of a metal polyhedron; carbon-13 and platinum-195 fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of [Ptn(CO)2n]2- (n = 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15)

Platinum-195 spectra are reported for [Pt_n(CO)_2n]^2- (n = 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15) and carbon-13 spectra are reported for n = 6, 9 and 12 over a range of temperatures. The spectra provide evidence for (a) intramolecular rotation of the Pt₃-triangles about the principal three-fold axis, (b) inter-exchange of Pt₃-triangles, (c) lack of terminal/edge carbonyl exchange within the Pt₃(CO)₃(μ-CO)₃ group. Evidence is also presented for the formation of [Ni₃Pt₃(CO)₁₂]^2- on mixing [Pt₆(CO)₁₂]^2- [Ni₆(CO)₁₂]^2-.     

Synthese und NMR-Spektren einiger 13C-markierter Thio- und Seleno-äther, -acetale und -orthoester

Synthesis and NMR Spectra of Some ¹³C-Labelled Thio- and Seleno-ethers, -acetals, and -orthoesters Twenty-seven different open-chain and cyclic derivatives (RX)_nCH_4-n and (RX)_nCH_3-nR′ with n = 1?3, X = S or Se, R,R′ = alkyl or aryl, 1,3,5-trithiane, and bis-(dimethylsulfonio)methane and -methanide with single or multiple ¹³C-labelling have been synthesized. The ¹³C-NMR spectra of the sulfur and selenim compounds have been measured, and the dependence of the chemical shifts (δ_c) and coupling constants [′J(C,H), ′J(Se,C)] from the substitution pattern in discussed (Fig. 1) and compared with the polyhalogeno-methanes (Fig. 2).     

Substituent chemical shifts of the organotin moiety in compounds of the type RSnMenCl3 − n (n = 0 to 3; R = n-alkyl)

The ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of 33 organotin compounds of the type RSnMe_nCl_{3 ? n} and related types are discussed. The substituent effects of the groups SnMe₃, SnMe₂Cl, SnMeCl₂ and SnCl₃ (and of some related groups) on the carbon chemical shifts in the alkyl group R have been determined; the SnMe₃ group causes a small upfield shift of the carbon attached to it, while the other groups cause downfield shifts. The shifts show a monotonic change on replacing methyl groups in Me₃Sn by chlorine atoms. The effects on carbons further removed from the tin atom are discussed. Variation in R causes little change in ⁿJ(Sn? C) or δ(¹¹⁹Sn).     

HMBC‐1,n‐ADEQUATE spectra calculated from HMBC and 1,n‐ADEQUATE spectra

Unsymmetrical and generalized indirect covariance processing methods provide a means of mathematically combining pairs of 2D NMR spectra that share a common frequency domain to facilitate the extraction of correlation information. Previous reports have focused on the combination of HSQC spectra with 1,1‐, 1,n‐, and inverted ¹J_CC 1,n‐ADEQUATE spectra to afford carbon–carbon correlation spectra that allow the extraction of direct (¹J_CC), long‐range (ⁿJ_CC, where n ≥ 2), and ¹J_CC‐edited long‐range correlation data, respectively. Covariance processing of HMBC and 1,1‐ADEQUATE spectra has also recently been reported, allowing convenient, high‐sensitivity access to ⁿJ_CC correlation data equivalent to the much lower sensitivity n,1‐ADEQUATE experiment. Furthermore, HMBC‐1,1‐ADEQUATE correlations are observed in the F₁ frequency domain at the intrinsic chemical shift of the ¹³C resonance in question rather than at the double‐quantum frequency of the pair of correlated carbons, as visualized by the n,1, and m,n‐ADEQUATE experiments, greatly simplifying data interpretation. In an extension of previous work, the covariance processing of HMBC and 1,n‐ADEQUATE spectra is now reported. The resulting HMBC‐1,n‐ADEQUATE spectrum affords long‐range carbon–carbon correlation data equivalent to the very low sensitivity m,n‐ADEQUATE experiment. In addition to the significantly higher sensitivity of the covariance calculated spectrum, correlations in the HMBC‐1,n‐ADEQUATE spectrum are again detected at the intrinsic ¹³C chemical shifts of the correlated carbons rather than at the double‐quantum frequency of the pair of correlated carbons. HMBC‐1,n‐ADEQUATE spectra can provide correlations ranging from diagonal (⁰J_CC or diagonal correlations) to ⁴J_CC under normal circumstances to as much as ⁶J_CC in rare instances. The experiment affords the potential means of establishing the structures of severely proton‐deficient molecules. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Carbon-13?carbon-13 coupling constants of 13C-methyl labeled o- and p-substituted toluenes

From ¹³C-7 labeled toluene the following ¹³C-methyl o- and p-substituted toluenes were synthesized: o-NO₂, -NH₂, -I and ? CN; p-NO₂ and -NH₂. Each of these labeled compounds was studied by carbon magnetic resonance to determine all carbon-13? carbon-13 splittings involving the methyl carbon.     

Fourier transform NMR studies of organometallic compounds. II—synthesis and NMR spectroscopy of propenyl and isopropenyl derivatives of silicon and lead

Isomeric mixtures of compounds Me_nM(CH?CHMe)_4?n (M=Si, Pb; n=0?3) have been prepared and studied, as well as pure Me₃M(CMe?CH₂) and mixtures containing propenyl isopropenyl residues bonded to silicon and lead. ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR data are presented; as previously observed for the corresponding tin compounds, the ²⁹Si and ²⁰⁷Pb shifts for the Me₃MC₃H₅ isomers can be used to calculate the shifts expected for the other isomers; while for lead the agreement is good, calculated and observed values for silicon diverge with decreasing n due, at least in part, to steric factors.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Long range 13C?1H coupling constants IV—methoxy-, amino- and hydroxypyridines

One bond and long range ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants for some methoxy-, amino- and hydroxypyridines are described. An unambiguous assignment of carbon-13 resonances is carried out based on the analysis of the fine splitting caused by long range couplings. J values for compounds other than 2- and 4-hydroxy-pyridines are explainable in terms of the values previouly obtained for cyano- and methylpyridines. The hydroxypyridine-pyridone tautomerism affects ²J(H_α), i.e. ²J associated with the α proton. This effect can be used to differentiate pyridones from hydroxypyridines.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of coumarin and methoxycoumarins—a reinvestigation of charge density/Chemical Shift Relations

The carbon-13 NMR spectra of coumarin, 6-, 7-, 8-methoxycoumarin, and 5,7-, 7,8-, 5,8- and 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin have been measured and assigned. It is shown that substituent induced chemical shifts S(δ) in the mono- and disubstituted systems correlate well with the HMO atom-atom polarisibilities π_ij of the parent compound: S_i(δ_i) = 80.13 π_ij with a standard deviation of 1.42 ppm and a correlation factor of 0.994. Correlations between δ(¹³C) values and charge densities calculated by various semi-empirical methods are less successful.     

‘Anomalous’ 2J(Sn?H) coupling in mono– and dichloromethyltin compounds

The linear relationship between the coupling constants ¹J(Sn? ¹³C) and ²J(Sn? H), observed for a number of organotin compounds, does not hold for coupling in the Sn? CH_nCl_3?n group of mono- and dichloromethyltin compounds. A complete determination of all NMR parameters of the compounds Me₃Sn-CH_nCl_3?n (n = 0 to 3) shows no further anomalies, indicating that steric factors must be responsible for the unusually low values of ²J(Sn? H) in the SnCH_nCl_3?n group. Molecular weight measurements support this theory, showing that the chlorine-containing compounds are associated.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of Schiff bases: II—imines extracted from aqueous solution

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to study netural imines formed from various aldehydes and primary amines in aqueous solution. The imines are then extracted into CDCl₃ and their formation constants in the aqueous phase are calculated as a function of pD. The results are in agreement with previous studies. Decoupling experiments are used to prove that additional splitting of the proton spectrum is due to long range coupling rather than syn-anti isomerism. The possibility of utilizing the formation of Schiff bases in aqueous solution for synthetic purposes is discussed and the ¹³C magnetic resonance spectrum of the imine, isolated from the reaction of 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde and n-butylamine, is reported.
