Deuterium Quantification through Deuterium‐Induced Remote 1H and 13C NMR Shifts

Partial labeling by deuterium may be quantified through simple integrations of those ¹H (200 or 400 MHz ) and ¹³C (100.6 MHz ) NMR resonances that are split into pairs by chemical shifts ⁿΔ=δ(deuterated)?δ(nondeuterated) as induced by deuterium across n>2 chemical bonds. The relative intensities of the two components of a pair are shown to be influenced to practically equal degrees by relaxation effects, so that a deuterium fraction may be determined from ¹H and ¹³C integral pairs at more remote molecular positions under the routine conditions of fast accumulative spectral acquisition.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of some natural abietane diterpenoids

An NMR study of 11 naturally occurring abietane diterpenoids is described. In addition to one‐dimensional NMR methods, including DPFGSE 1D‐NOE spectra, two‐dimensional shift‐correlated experiments [¹H,¹H COSY, ¹H,¹³C‐gHSQC ¹J(C,H) and ¹H,¹³C‐gHMBC ⁿJ(C,H) (n = 2 and 3)] were used for the complete and unambiguous ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift assignments of these substances.

1H and 13C NMR spectral characterization of some antimalarial in vitro 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives

We report the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and J(H,H), J(H,F) and J(C,F) coupling constants of 13 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives, some of them with moderate activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. They were characterized and assigned on the basis of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹³C–¹H (short‐ and long‐range) correlated spectra. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hydroacridines: Part 23. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of sym‐octahydroacridine,its 9‐(3‐pyridyl) and 9‐(4‐pyridyl) derivatives and the corresponding N(10)‐oxides. An experimental approach to the diamagnetic anisotropy of the pyridine nucleus

The complete ¹H NMR chemical shift assignments of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydroacridine ( 1 ), 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydro‐9‐(3‐pyridyl)acridine ( 2 ), 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydro‐9‐(4‐pyridyl)acridine ( 3 ) and the corresponding N(10)‐oxides 1a , 2a and 3a , respectively, were achieved on the basis of 400 MHz ¹H NMR spectra and proton–proton decoupling, HMQC and NOEDIFF experiments. The spectral data for the above compounds provided the first experimental evidence of the difference in the anisotropy effect of the two non‐symmetrical moieties of the pyridine nucleus, and allowed us to ascertain that the shielding effect of the moiety defined by the C(2′)—N—C(6′) atoms is weaker than that of the C(3′)—C(4′)—C(5′) moiety. The ¹³C NMR spectra of 1 – 3 and 1a – 3a and the effect of N(10)‐oxidation on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts are also discussed. The N‐oxidation of 2 and 3 with m‐chloroperbenzoic acid occurred regiospecifically, affording the N(10)‐oxides 2a and 3a free of N(1′)‐oxide isomers. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

One‐ and two‐dimensional NMR characterization of N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate copolymers

N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate (V/M) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical bulk polymerization using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The copolymer composition of these copolymers was calculated from ¹H NMR spectra. The radical reactivity ratios for N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (V) and methyl acrylate (M) were r_V = 0.09, r_M = 0.44. These reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of V and M were determined using the Kelen–Tudos and nonlinear least‐squares error‐in‐variable methods. The ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of these copolymers overlapped and were complex. The complete spectral assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra were done with distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer and two dimensional ¹³C‐¹H heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopic experiments. The two‐dimensional ¹H‐¹H homonuclear total correlation spectroscopic NMR spectrum showed the various bond interactions, thus inferring the possible structure of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1H- und 13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Struktur N-substituierter Tetrazole—Die Strukturen des N-Methoxycarbonyl-, N-Acetyl- und N-(Tri-n-butylstannyl)-tetrazols sowie Substituenteneffekte auf δ13C und 1J(CH)

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of several isomeric N-substituted tetrazoles have been investigated. ¹³C NMR is shown to be more useful for distinguishing between structural isomers of N-substituted tetrazoles except for those carrying electropositive substituents like SnBu₃. Correlations of δC-5 (inverse) and ¹J(C-5,H) with s?₁ found for 1-substituted tetrazole allowed the identification of the N SnBu₃ derivative as 1-(tri-n-butylstannyl)tetrazole. The phenyl carbon chemical shift difference ΔC′ = δC-3′-δC-2′ is insignificant for structure elucidation and conformational studies of N-substituted 5-phenyltetrazoles; ΔH′ from ¹H NMR spectra seems to be more useful.     

Derivatives of pyrazinecarboxylic acid: 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopic investigations

NMR spectroscopic studies are undertaken with derivatives of 2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H; ¹⁵N,¹H) is achieved by combined application of various 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ,J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Phenomena such as the tautomerism of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Detailed assignments of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of 14 cyclopentane derivatives

Detailed assignments of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data for 14 cyclopentane derivatives are reported. The assignments are based on 1D ¹H and ¹³C NMR and on 2D shift‐correlated [¹H, ¹³C‐HMQC], J‐resolved and NOEDIF experiments. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Substituent Effects on 13C NMR and 1H NMR Chemical Shifts of CH=N in Multi-substituted Benzylideneanilines

Fifty-three samples of multi-substituted benzylideneanilines XArCH=NArYs (abbreviated XBAYs) were synthesized and their NMR spectra were determined. An extensional study of substituent effects on the ¹H NMR chemical shifts (^δH(CH=N)) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts (^δC(CH=N)) of the CH=N bridging group from di-substituted to multi-substituted XBAYs was made based on a total of 182 samples of XBAYs, together with the NMR data of other 129 samples of di-substituted XBAYs quoted from literatures. The results show that the substituent specific cross-interaction effect parameter \begin{document} $\left(\Delta\left(\displaystyle\sum\sigma\right)^2\right)$ \end{document} plays an important role in quantifying the ^δC(CH=N) values of XBAYs, but it is negligible for quantifying the ^δH(CH=N) values; the other substituent parameters also present different influences on the ^δC(CH=N) and ^δH(CH=N). On the whole, the contributions of X and Y to the ^δC(CH=N) of XBAYs are balanced, but the ^δH(CH=N) values of XBAYs mainly rely on the contributions of X.     

NMR analysis of mono‐ and difructosyllactosucrose synthesized by 1F‐fructosyltransferase purified from roots of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.)

Two novel oligosaccharides, mono‐ and difructosyllactosucrose {[O‐β‐D ‐fructofuranosyl‐(2 → 1)]_n‐β‐D ‐fructofuranosyl‐O‐[β‐D ‐galactopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)]‐α‐D ‐glucopyranoside, n = 1 and 2} were synthesized using 1^F‐fructosyltransferase purified form roots of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.). Their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were assigned using several NMR techniques. The spectral analysis was started from two anomeric methines of aldose units, galactose and glucose, since they showed separate characteristic signals in their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. After assignments of all the ¹H and ¹³C signals of two units of aldose, they were discriminated as galactose and glucose using proton–proton coupling constants. The HMBC spectrum revealed the galactose residue attached to C‐4 of glucose, fructose residue attached to the C‐1 of glucose, and further fructosyl fructose linkage extended from the glucosyl fructose residues.

The Stereochemistry of 1,2,3‐Triols Revealed by 1H NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Applications

The conformational compositions of the tris(α‐methoxy‐α‐phenylacetic acid) ester derivatives of 1,2,3‐prim,sec,sec‐triols are presented. These conformations have been determined by theoretical and experimental data (i.e., energy‐ and chemical‐shift calculations, circular dichroism (CD) experiments, coupling‐constant analysis, enantioselective deuteration experiments, and low‐temperature NMR spectroscopic studies). A detailed analysis of the anisotropic effects due to the most significant conformers in the ¹H NMR spectra supported the correlation between the ¹H NMR spectra (Δδ^RS value of H(3′) and |Δ(Δδ^RS)| parameters) and the absolute configuration of the substrate. The study also allows the identification of the pro‐R and pro‐S methylene protons from their vicinal coupling constants and relative chemical shifts.     

Complete assignment of NMR data of 22 phenyl‐1H‐pyrazoles' derivatives

Complete assignment of ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and J(¹H/¹H and ¹H/¹⁹F) coupling constants for 22 1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazoles' derivates were performed using the concerted application of ¹H 1D and ¹H, ¹³C 2D gs‐HSQC and gs‐HMBC experiments. All 1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazoles' derivatives were synthesized as described by Finar and co‐workers. The formylated 1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazoles' derivatives were performed under Duff's conditions.

Unambiguous and complete assignments of ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for 15 limonoids, eight of them found in natural sources and seven other synthetic derivatives, are presented. The assignments are based on 2D shift‐correlated [¹H,¹H‐COSY, ¹H,¹³C‐gHSQC‐¹J(C,H), ¹H,¹³C‐gHMBC‐ⁿJ(C,H) (n = 2 and 3)] and NOE experiments. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Heterocyclic analogs of xanthiones: 5,6‐fused 3‐methyl‐1‐phenylpyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H) thiones—synthesis and NMR (1H, 13C, 15N) data

Various [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐thiones were synthesized in high yields by treatment of the corresponding [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐ones with Lawesson's reagent. Detailed NMR spectroscopic studies were undertaken of the title compounds. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H) was achieved by the combined application of various one‐ and two‐dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of most ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ, J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Proton high‐field NMR study of tomato juice

A detailed analysis of the proton high‐field (600 MHz) NMR spectra of tomato juice and pulp is reported for the first time. A combination of J‐resolved, COSY, TOCSY, DOSY, ¹H–¹³C HSQC and ¹H–¹³C HMBC 2D sequences was used to assign each spin system and to separate the components of the complex patterns in the 1D overlapped proton spectra. To obtain resolved proton spectra of tomato pulps the high‐resolution magic angle spinning technique was used; a comparison with the liquid‐state NMR spectra of the corresponding juices was accomplished. On the basis of the assignments made, the chemical composition of tomato juices from two cultivars (Red Setter and Ciliegino) was determined. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Unequivocal total assignment of 13C and 1H NMR spectra of some pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives by 2D‐NMR

We report the total assignments of the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of some 4‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐(2H)‐pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidine and 2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐(4H)‐pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives. The products were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and reported data for similar compounds. No comparative data for the two sets of isomeric compounds with respect to ¹³C and ¹H NMR have been reported to date. We made some detailed studies of the 2D NMR spectra of these compounds and observed that assignments made for non‐protonated carbon atoms by us and those reported in the literature for similar compounds need correction. The revised assignments were made on the basis of heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) techniques.

Fingerprints of Phalaenopsis Tissues in Growth and Spike Induction Periods—A Solid‐state 13C NMR Approach

Solid‐state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ss‐NMR) ¹³C single‐pulse excitation spectroscopy in combination with the magic‐angle spinning (MAS) technique was applied to a series of Phalaenopsis tissues, including the leaf, sheath, stem, and root, at different growth and spiking periods. Compared with{¹H}/¹³C cross‐polarization MAS spectra, the ¹³C single‐pulse excitation MAS spectra displayed very distinct spectral patterns, recognizable as fingerprints of the tissues studied. ¹Here, we demonstrate that solid‐state ¹³C single‐pulse excitation NMR spectroscopy provides a direct and robust analytical tool for studying the various tissues of Phalaenopsis in different growth and spiking induction periods.
