Synthesis and NMR spectral studies of some 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-one O-benzyloximes

Variously substituted 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-one O-benzyloximes were synthesized by the direct condensation of the corresponding 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ones with O-benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, Mass and NMR spectral studies. NMR spectral assignments are made unambiguously by their one-dimensional (1H NMR and 13C NMR) and two-dimensional (1H-1H COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR spectra. All the synthesized compounds are resulted as single isomer, i.e., exclusively E isomer (9-14). The conformational preference of 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-one oxime ethers with and without alkyl substituents at C-3 and C-5 has also been discussed using the spectral studies. The observed chemical shifts and coupling constants suggest that compounds 8-13 adopt normal chair conformation with equatorial orientation of all the substituents while compound 14 contributes significant boat conformation along with the predominant chair conformation in solution. The effect of oximination on ring carbons, their associated protons, alkyl substituents and ipso carbons are studied. Every proton in the piperidone ring of the oxime ether is observed as distinct signal due to oximination. The order of chemical shift magnitude in compound 8 is H-2a>H-6a>H-5e>H-3e>H-3a>H-5a. For 9-12, the order is H-6a>H-5e>H-2a>H-3a>H-5a, for 13, H-6a>H-2a>H-5e>H-3a>H-5a and for 14, the order is H-2a>H-6a>H-5e>H-3a>H-5a while the 13C chemical shift magnitude for 8-14 due to oximination is C-2>C-6>C-3>C-5.

Triterpenoidal saponins acylated with two monoterpenic acids from Gleditsia sinensis

The isolation and characterization of three new oleanane-type triterpenoidal saponins, called gleditsiosides E-G, along with two known ones, from the anomalous fruits of Gleditsia sinensis LAM. are described. Their structural details were unambiguously determined by using a combination of modern NMR techniques, including distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), double-quantum filtered 1H-1H correlated spectroscopy (DQF-COSY), homonuclear hartmann-hahn (HOHAHA), 1H-13C heteronuclear correlation (HET-COR), heteronuclear multiple-bond connectivity (HMBC) and rotating-frame overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY) experiments as well as some chemical methods. The five bisdesmosidic triterpenoidal saponins consisting of the same sugar sequence were all acylated with two different or identical monoterpenic acids to the C-2 and C-3 positions of rhamnose moiety.     

Biosynthetic studies on the botcinolide skeleton: new hydroxylated lactones from Botrytis cinerea

[reaction: see text] The biosynthetic origin of the botcinolide skeleton was investigated by means of feeding 13C- and 2H-labeled precursors to Botrytis cinerea. Three new compounds, two homobotcinolide derivatives, 3-O-acetylhomobotcinolide (5) and 8-methylhomobotcinolide (6), and a new 11-membered lactone (7), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including one-bond and long-range 1H-13C correlations. The relative stereochemistries were determined by combined analyses of NOE data and 1H-1H coupling constants. According to the results of feeding experiments with 13C- and 2H-labeled acetate and l-S-methylmethionine, 5 is an acetate-derived polyketide whose methyl groups originate from l-S-methylmethionine. This is a rare example of the incorporation of a methyl from methionine into a supposed C3 starter unit of the polyketide synthesis.     

NMR spectral assignments of two sterols from a soft coral Sinularia brassica

Two new steroids, named 4α,22-dimethyl-Cholest-22-en-3β-ol (1) and 4α-methyl-Cholest-7,22-dien-3β-ol (2), along with two known steroids, were isolated from the soft coral Sinularia brassica. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data (MS, (1)H and (13)C NMR, (1)H-(1)H COSY, (13)C-(1)H COSY, HMBC and NOESY) analysis.     

Studies of some monocyclic and bicyclic arylacetonitriles

The high-resolution (1)H, (13)C, (1)H-(1)H COSY and (1)H-(13)C COSY NMR spectra have been recorded in CDCl(3) for arylacetonitriles 1-12 and analyzed. The arylacetonitriles 3-7 exist in two isomeric forms E (methyl group is anti to cyano group) and Z (the methyl group is syn to cyano group) in solution. Normal chair conformation with equatorial orientations of phenyl rings at C-2 and C-6 for monocyclic nitriles 1 and 2, epimeric chair structure EC (axial configuration of methyl group at C-3) for both the E and Z isomers of arylacetonitrile derivatives (3-7) and a distorted boat form, B(3), for the N-acylacetonitrile derivatives (8-10) have been proposed based on NMR data. The bicyclic nitriles 11 and 12 exist in twin chair conformations in solution. DFT calculations and chemical shifts also support these conformations. Geometry optimizations for 1-12 were carried out according to density functional theory using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set and for 1 and 8 the theoretical geometrical parameters have been compared with those of single crystal measurements.     

Simple Methods for Determining Relative Stereochemistry of Kainoid Amino Acids by (1)H NMR Chemical Shifts

The kainoid amino acids are biologically important compounds because they show remarkable neuroexcitatory and excitotoxic activities. For exhibiting potent activity, the stereochemical relationship of the substituents on the pyrrolidine ring is crucial. We found simple methods for determining the relative stereochemistry of these compounds on the basis of the (1)H NMR chemical shifts of H-2 and H-4 in D(2)O solution. The signals of H-2 appear at fields higher than 4.2 ppm when the compounds have 2,3-trans stereochemistry whereas, in the 2,3-cis compounds, they appear lower than 4.2 ppm, irrespective of the C-4 substituent. This criterion holds when the solution is in the range of pD 3-8. Moreover, when an epimeric pair at C-2 is available and the spectra are recorded at the same or nearly equal pD, the H-2 chemical shift of the 2,3-trans isomer is higher than that of the corresponding 2,3-cis isomer. Similarly, the relative stereochemistry between C-3 and C-4 can be determined from the chemical shift of H-4. The signals of H-4 of the 3,4-cis isomers appear at lower fields than those of the corresponding 3,4-trans isomers in each pair of C-4 epimers when the spectra are recorded at the same or nearly equal pD. This holds for the compounds bearing an unsaturated substituent at C-4. All these phenomena can be rationalized by the anisotropic effect of the pi-electron system in the C-2 and C-4 substituents.     

Pregnane glycosides, gymnepregosides G-Q from the roots of Gymnema alternifolium.

The structural elucidation of eleven new related polyoxypregnane glycosides, gymnepregosides G (1), H (2), I (3), J (4), K (5), L (6), M (7), N (8), O (9), P (10) and Q (11), from the roots of Gymnema alternifolium (Asclepiadaceae) was achieved by a detailed study of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data and chemical means. The results obtained for new compounds, 1-11, show that they are (20S)-pregn-6-ene-3 beta,5 alpha,8 beta,12 beta,14 beta,17 beta,20-heptaol 3-O-glycosides, and all the sugars at C-3 are beta(i-->4)-linked. Some of them possess benzoyl, (E)- and (Z)-cin-namoyl, and tigloyl residues as the ester linkages located at C-12 and/or C-20 of the aglycone.     

ent-pimarane-type diterpenoids from Siegesbeckia orientalis L

A new ent-pimarane glucoside, named hythiemoside B (4), was isolated from the aerial part of Siegesbecikia orientalis L. (Asteraceae) together with four known ent-pimarane-type diterpenoids: darutigenol (1), darutoside (2), hythiemoside A (3), and ent-(15R),16,19-trihydroxypimar-8(14)-ene 19-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and chemical transformation. The NMR data of compounds 1 (1H-) and 5 (1H- and 13C-) were also compiled in this study on the basis of 2D experiments.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral study of some 3,5-bis[(E)-thienylmethylene]piperidin-4-ones

(1)H and (13)C NMR spectra have been recorded for 3,5-bis[(E)-thienylmethylene]piperidin-4-one (1a), 3',3″-dimethyl-3,5-bis[(E)-thienylmethylene]piperidin-4-one (1b), 5',5″-dibromo-3,5-bis[(E)-thienylmethylene]piperidin-4-one (1c), their 1-methyl derivatives 2a-c and 3,5-bis[(E)-thienylmethylene]-2r,6c-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (3a). For selected compounds 2D spectra have been recorded. The spectral data are used to study the configuration and conformation of these molecules. The chemical shifts are discussed in light of steric, electronic and magnetic anisotropic effects. The magnetic anisotropic effects of thiophene ring and phenyl group are noteworthy. (1)H-(1)H COSY spectrum of 2b suggests that long-range (1)H-(1)H coupling, up to seven bonds, is possible in it. HMBC spectrum of 2b displays the magnetic nonequivalence of C-2 and C-6 and protons at these carbons.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of a series of diacetylenic compounds related to falcarindiol

The synthesis of a series of diacetylenic compounds related to the natural product falcarindiol has been carried out. Unsymmetrical diacetylenes were prepared by a modification of the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling reaction, while a Glaser coupling was used to prepare symmetrical diacetylenes. These compounds have been tested for in vitro cytotoxic activity against Hep-G2, and H-4-II-E cell lines. Diacetylenes with additional unsaturation at C-1, 2, appended with hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-8, or with long hydrophobic chains, exhibited IC50 values in the micromolar range.     

Carbon-13 as a tool for the study of carbohydrate structures, conformations and interactions

The application of 13C-NMR spectroscopy to problems involving the structures and interactions of carbohydrates is described. Both 13C-enriched and natural abundance compounds were used and some advantages of the use of the stable isotope are described. Carbon-carbon and carbon-proton coupling constants obtained from 1-13C enriched carbohydrates were employed in the assignment of their chemical shifts and to establish solution conformation. In all cases studied thus far, C-3 couples to C-1 only in the beta-anomers while C-5 couples to C-1 only in the alpha-anomers. C-6 and C-2 always couple to C-1 in both anomeric species. The alkaline degradation of glucose [1-13C] to saccharinic acids was followed by 13C-NMR. The conversion of glucose [1-13C] to fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate [1, 6-13C] by enzymes of the glycolytic pathway was shown as an example of the use of 13C-enriched carbohydrates to elucidate biochemical pathways. In a large number of glycosyl phosphates the 31P to H-1 and 31P to C-2 coupling constants demonstrate that in the preferred conformation and phosphate group lies between the O-5 and the H-1 of the pyranose ring. The influence of paramagnetic Mn2 + ions on the proton decoupled 13C-NMR spectra of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine indicates that the Mn2 + interacts strongly with the pyrophosphate moiety and with the carbonyl groups of the uracil and N-acetyl groups.

Thirty-two new bakkenolides, bakkenolides-Db (1)--Dh(7), -Fa(8), -Fb(9), -I(10)--M(14), -Na(15), -Nb(16), -O(17)--T(22), -Ua (23), -Ub(24), -V(25)--X(27), -Ya(28), -Yb(29), -Za(30), -Zb(31) and -III(32), from the roots of Petasites formosanus together with thirty known compounds were isolated. The structures were characterized by spectral analysis. The locations, C-1 and/or C-9 of bakkenolide skeleton, of the substituents, such as acetoxy, isobutyroyloxy and isovaleroyloxy groups, can be determined by the chemical shifts of their signals and the H-1 and/H-9 in the 1H-NMR spectra. The cytotoxicity was also discussed.

They exhibited potent in vitro antioxidant activity dose dependently. Their bioassay showed them to possess significant antibacterial activity.     

Isotope labelling in ring a of gibberellin a 20

Full assignments of the ¹H-nmr chemical shifts of the ring A protons in gibberellin A₂₀ methyl ester 13-acetate have been made on the basis of ¹H-, ²H- and ¹³C-nmr data of various deuteriated derivatives. These assignments have been used to prove that catalytic deuteriogenation of GA₅-16, 17- epoxide-13-acetate is a syn-addition from the less hindered β-face accompanied by allylic exchange at C-1 giving isotopic labels at the 1β-, 2β- and 3β- positions. The position and stereochemistry of isotopic labelling was confirmed by comparison with an authentic sample of [1β,2β,3β-²H₃] GA₂₀ methyl ester 13-acetate prepared by methods which introduce deuterium stereoselectively at C-1, C-2 and C-3. The preparation of [2α-²H]GA₂₀ and [3α-²H]GA₂₀ is described.     

C-14 and H-3 contents in the groundwater around radioactive repository site in Korea

The contents of H-3 and C-14 in groundwater and surface waters around low and medium-level atomic waste repository site in Korea were determined. The concentrations of C-14 were in the range 0.186–0.287 Bq/L. The H-3 concentration of the groundwaters and surface waters were <0.06–5.75 and 1.22–4.74 Bq/L. The average H-3 contents of west, north and south direction were 1.18 ± 0.12, 1.11 ± 0.78 and 2.85 ± 2.66. H-3 and C-14 concentrations in the south direction were relatively higher than west and north direction samples. The surface waters sampled from catchment were four times higher than average H-3 concentration in precipitation. The concentrations of H-3 and C-14 within 5 km area samples were much higher than other samples.

Their structures were established by IR, (1)H-, (13)C- and (31)P-NMR spectral data. The mass spectral data were given for compounds 9, 12 and 15. The title compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and antifungal activity on Aspergillus niger and Helminthosporium oryzae. Most of the compounds possess significant activity.
