Synthesis and conversions of metallocycles. 8.13C NMR spectra of aluminocyclopentanes

Using¹³C NMR spectroscopy we have studied disubstituted and trisubstituted aluminocyclopentanes, determined the spectral parameters, and made stereochemical assignments of the isomers. The structure of the studied organoaluminum compounds has been confirmed by analysis of the products of hydrolysis, deuterolysis, and oxidation of aluminocyclopentanes.For communication 7, see [1].Institute of Organic Chemistry, Urals Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 450054 Ufa.

The application of empirical methods of 13C NMR chemical shift prediction as a filter for determining possible relative stereochemistry

The reliable determination of stereocenters contained within chemical structures usually requires utilization of NMR data, chemical derivatization, molecular modeling, quantum‐mechanical (QM) calculations and, if available, X‐ray analysis. In this article, we show that the number of stereoisomers which need to be thoroughly verified, can be significantly reduced by the application of NMR chemical shift calculation to the full stereoisomer set of possibilities using a fragmental approach based on HOSE codes. The applicability of this suggested method is illustrated using experimental data published for a series of complex chemical structures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of cyclotriveratrylene inclusion compounds by means of solid state13C NMR

Solid inclusion compounds of cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) with benzene, toluene, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, acetic acid and chloroform, as well as two hydrated forms, were prepared and characterized by solid state¹³C NMR. The inclusion process for CTV appears to be quite selective, and in some instance depends critically on the presence or absence of water. A number of different structural types are indicated by the solid state¹³C NMR splitting paterns. For the guests listed above,¹H NMR in solution indicated a guest to host ratio close to 0.5, except for chloroform, for which the ratio is closer to 2.

1H and 13C NMR structure determination of a new stereoisomer of isoreserpiline pseudoindoxyl from Rauvolfia grandiflora

An NMR study of a new stereoisomer of isoreserpiline pseudoindoxyl alkaloid is described. The complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignments of the compound were carried out using COSY, HMQC and HMBC. Stereochemistry at carbons C‐2, C‐3, C‐15, C‐20 and C‐19 was established using values of ¹H chemical shifts, coupling constants and NOESY experiments. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.     

Hydrogen bonding structure and stability of alpha-chitin studied by 13C solid-state NMR

The structure and stability of hydrogen bonds in alpha-chitin were investigated by (13)C solid-state NMR measurements at different temperatures. Splitting of the carbonyl carbon signal for alpha-chitin was interpreted as two types of hydrogen bonding; the peaks at 173.5 and 175.8 ppm were assigned, respectively, to a carbonyl carbon hydrogen bonded exclusively to the NH group and a carbonyl carbon hydrogen-bonded to both NH and C(6)-OH groups. Approximately 60% of carbonyl groups exclusively contributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding and ca. 40% of them to the combination of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Internal rotation around the C(5)-C(6) bond was detected at 55 degrees C.     

Synthesis,structure, and NMR spectra of a new ferrocenylbenzene tricarbonylchromium complex

Complex 1 (1,2,4-triferrocenylbenzene tricarbonylchromium), possessing four heterometals, has been synthesized efficiently by a new method in one pot. Through detailed study on the NMR chemical shifts of 1 and the ligand 2, the NMR chemical shifts of 1 shift upfield from those of 2. The NMR spectra of 1 have reduced magnetic anisotropy of benzene after Cr(CO)₃ coordination with 2. The ferrocenyl groups have electron donating effect on the central benzene ring of 1.     

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.     

Total assignments of 1H and 13C NMR spectra of biflorin and bis‐biflorin from Capraria biflora

Bis‐biflorin, a new o‐naphthoquinone dimer, and biflorin, 6,9‐dimethyl‐3‐(4‐methyl‐3‐pentenyl)naphtho[1,8‐bc]‐pyran‐7,8‐dione, were isolated from roots of Capraria biflora, a medicinal plant from northeast Brazil. Structural elucidation was made on the basis of spectral data, mainly by high‐field NMR and high‐resolution mass spectrometry. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

O-Alkylation of Menthone Oxime: Synthesis and 13C NMR Studies of a Series of Novel Oxime Ethers

A series of novel menthone oxime ethers were synthesized in three steps starting from (–)-menthol. Analysis of the ¹³C NMR chemical shift differences between α carbons of oxime derivatives (O-alkyl oximes) provides a convenient and reliable means of assigning oxime stereochemistry. It has been found that carbons syn to the oxime are shifted more upfield than carbons anti to the oxime moiety. Significant E products were obtained.     

Towards the automatic analysis of NMR spectra: part 6. Confirmation of chemical structure employing both 1H and 13C NMR spectra

A method of comparing predicted and experimental chemical shifts was used to confirm or refute postulated structures. 1H NMR spectra returned all true positives with a false positive rate of 4%. When an analogous procedure was adopted for 13C NMR spectra, the false positive rate dropped to 1%, whereas the more practical HSQC data yielded a false positive rate of 2%. If the HSQC results were combined with 1H results, a false positive rate of 1% resulted, 4 times more accurate than 1H alone.     

Structure elucidation and total assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for a new bisdesmoside saponin from Cordia piauhiensis

Extensive 1D (¹H NMR, HBBD‐¹³C NMR, DEPT‐¹³C NMR) and 2D (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC) NMR analysis was used to characterize the structure of a new bisdesmoside saponin isolated from the methanol extract of stems of Cordia piauhiensis Fresen as 3β‐O‐[α‐L ‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl]ursolic acid 28‐O‐[β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 6)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl] ester.

Synthesis and conversions of metallocycles. 22. NMR studies of the mechanism of Cp2ZrCl2-catalyzed cycloalumination of olefins with triethylaluminum to form aluminacyclopentanes

The mechanism of cycloalumination of olefins under the action of AlEt₃ in the presence of Cp₂ZrCl₂ giving rise to aluminacyclopentanes was investigated by dynamic ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The bimetallic complex Cp₂ZrEtCl–AlEt₃ is formed initially and is converted into the bridged complex Cp₂Zr(Cl)CH₂CH₂AlEt₂ as a result of beta-hydride shift and elimination of the ethane molecule. The resulting complex adds a molecule of the initial olefin yielding aluminacyclopentanes. Under the action of Et₂AlCl in the presence of an excess of AlEt₃, zirconacyclopentanes give rise to intermediate bimetallic complexes stable at -70 °C. Under the reaction conditions, the latter compounds are converted into aluminacyclopentanes.     

Synthesis, 1H and 13C NMR assignment and electrochemical properties of novel thiophene–thiazolothiazole oligomers and polymers

Novel hexyl‐substituted bisthiophene compounds containing a thiazolothiazole(5,4‐d) unit have been explored. The molecules are soluble in common organic solvents, which would enhance their chance of possible integration in printable electronics. Synthesis and complete elucidation of the chemical structures by detailed 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy are described. This provides interesting input for chemical shift prediction software, because few experimental data on this type of compounds are available. Furthermore, the potential n‐type character of these derivatives is verified using electrochemical measurements. In addition, the low‐bandgap character of conjugated polymers containing the thiazolothiazole unit is demonstrated by performing an electropolymerization.

Simple organofluorine compounds giving field-dependent 13C and 19F NMR spectra with complex patterns: higher order effects and cross-correlated relaxation

The CF(3) signals in the (13)C{(1)H} spectrum of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol and the (CF(3))(2) CH signals in the corresponding triflate exhibit much greater complexity than might first be expected. The same holds for the (13)C satellites in the (19)F spectra. Complex patterns appear because of higher order effects resulting from the combination of a relatively large four-bond (19)F-(19)F J coupling in the ((13)CF(3))(12)CH((12)CF(3))-containing isotopomer and a typical large one-bond (13)C/(12)C isotope effect on the (19)F chemical shift. This complexity cannot be eliminated at very high magnetic field strengths. The triflate (CF(3))(2)CH-O-SO(2)CF(3) presents still additional complexity because of the presence of two different types of CF(3) groups exhibiting (6)J(FF) in any of the isotopomers and the chemical shift differences in hertz between the various (19)F signals in the two different (13)CF(3)-containing isotopomers. In addition, the presence of a small (5)J(CF) in the ((13)CF(3))((12)CF(3))(12)CH-O-SO(2) (12)CF(3) isotopomer is revealed only through simulations. The hexafluoroisopropyl CF(3) groups in the alcohol and triflate and the SO(2)CF(3) group in the triflate apparently provide the first examples of cross-correlated relaxation in (13)CF(3) groups. An analysis of the spectra in the context of previously reported work highlights the novel aspects of our findings. In particular, for each part of the complex hexafluoroisopropyl CF(3) quartet, peak height and linewidth variations resulting from cross-correlated relaxation are observed. These variations within a group of (13)C signals reflect different spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates for the transitions within that group arising from higher order coupling effects.     

Two new Ni(II) Schiff base complexes: X-ray absolute structure determination,synthesis of a N-labelled complex and full assignment of its H NMR and C NMR spectra

The Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base of (S)-N-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)-1-benzylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide and glycine (1) [GKCl] and the hemihydrate of the Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base of (S)-N-(2-benzoylphenyl)-1-benzylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide and 2-aminoisobutiric acid (2) [Me₂GK] were prepared and their absolute structures determined. The conformations of the complexes and their hydrogen bonding are discussed in detail. In complex 2, the repulsion between the benzyl group and an equatorial methyl group should affect the conformation of the benzyl group, distribution of the π-electron density in this group and distortion of the internal coordination sphere, while for complex 1, only minor conformational changes were expected. ¹H and ¹³C NMR data for the ¹⁵N-labelled complex 2 were acquired and fully assigned in order to study the influence of π-electron density of the benzyl group to the long-range ¹³C–¹⁵N and ¹³C–¹³C spin–spin interactions.
