Pulsed fourier transform NMR of substituted aryltrimethyltin derivatives : III. Proton data at 100 MHz and the derived Hammett σ-constant of the trimethyltin group

Proton NMR data at 100 MHz are reported for thirteen para- and meta-substituted phenyltrimethyltin compounds, XC₆H₄Sn(CH₃)₃, where X = para-N(CH₃)₂, para-OCH₃, para-OC₂H₅, para-CH₃, meta-CH₃, -H, para-F, meta-OCH₃, para-Cl, para-Br, meta-F, meta-Cl and para-Sn(CH₃)₃. Correlation coefficients with Hammett σ-constants of greater than 0.95 are obtained with the methyltin proton chemical shifts and coupling constants to carbon [¹J(¹³C¹H)] and tin [²J(SnC¹H)]. Solvent effects and other extraneous factors invalidate comparisons of ? values in terms of the relative attenuation of the transmission of substituent effects through homologous carbon, silicon, germanium and tin systems, but coupling constant data reflect a diminution of ca. one tenthfold per bond in the order ?[C(1)Sn] > ? [SnC] > ? [CH]. Satisfactory correlations (r > 0.95) are obtained in this series of closely-related compounds among the conventionally recorded two-bond, ²J(SnC¹H) and the constituent, one-bond ¹J (Sn¹³C) and J(¹³C¹H) coupling constants, but the correlation coefficient for the comparison between the two one-bond couplings, ¹J(Sn¹³C) and ¹J(¹³C¹H) is lower (r = 0.872). Changes in the couplings at the methyltin carbon bond tin-119 atoms are interpreted in terms of isovalent hybridization; a model based upon effective nuclear charges is tested with respect to both NMR coupling constants and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer Isomer shifts at tin and is invalidated. Proton and carbon-13 NMR, chemical shift and coupling constant data are used to derive a Hammett σ-constant for the para-trimethyltin group of ?0.14, and the significance of this value is discussed.     

NMR investigation on the conformational properties of N-[2-pyridyl-N-oxide]-amino derivatives

The proton NMR spectra of N-[2-pyridyl-N-oxide]-derivatives of primary and secondary ethylamines, containing a substituent R on the C atom bearing the amino function, have been completely analysed in terms of the fundamental NMR parameters. The preferred conformations of the compounds investigated were established by the indications from NOE experiments as well as: (1) the long range coupling across the five bond between the aminic hydrogen and the proton in 4-position of the pyridine-N-oxide ring (⁵J_m^H,NH ～ 0·5 c/s), (2) the value of the vicinal coupling constant in the fragment CHNH (³J_NHCH ～ 7–9 c/s), (3) the large deshielding (Δτ ～ 1–1·5 ppm) observed for the resonance position of the proton on the asymmetric C atom in secondary amine derivatives with respect to the corresponding primary ones, and (4) the diamagnetic shielding produced on protons in position 3 and 4 of the pyridine-N-oxide ring by different aromatic groups introduced in the R substituent.The NMR data confirmed the preferred rotamers previously suggested on the basis of ORD and CD measurements.     

Temperature dependences of J(C,H) and J(C,D) in 13CH4 and some of its deuterated isotopomers

The nuclear spin—spin coupling constants J(C,H) and J(C,D) have been measured over the temperature range 200–370 K for the methane isotopomers ¹³CH₄, ¹³CH₃D, ¹³CHD₃ and ¹³CD₄. The coupling constants increase with increasing temperature for any one isotopomer and decrease with increasing secondary deuterium substitution at any one temperature. The results are entirely attributable to intramolecular effects and the data have been fitted by a weighted least-squares regression analysis to a spin—spin coupling surface thereby yielding a value for ¹J_e(C,H), the coupling constant at equilibrium geometry, and values for the bond length derivatives of the coupling. We find that ¹J_e(C,H) = 120.78 (±0.05) Hz which is about 4.5 Hz smaller than the observed value in ¹³CH₄ gas at room temperature. Results are also reported for J(H,D) in ¹³CH₃D and ¹³CHD₃ for which no temperature dependence was detected.     

Die metall-kohlenstoff-bindung in carben- und carbin-komplexen. aussagen der 183W13C-kopplungen

The nuclear spin coupling constants¹J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and in some cases ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and ³J(¹⁸³W¹³C) are determined for 10 tungsten carbene and 9 tungsten carbyne complexes. ¹J is of analytical importance, being characteristically greater for WC than for WC bonds. This is due to different hybridisation at the carbon atom, and provides information about bond angles and polarities of WC and WCR units.Substituents R and R' in (CO)₅WCRR' and X(CO)₄WCR as well as the halogens X lead to minor changes in ¹J. These changes are comparable to those of ¹J(¹³C¹H) in correspondingly substituted methanes. Unexpectedly ¹J in_ creases with X = Cl, Br, I. ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) though being much smaller than ¹J reflects different hydridisation at the β carbon atom.     

Carbon-13 and proton NMR parameters of neopentyl-and trimethylsilylmethyl-thallium(III) derivatives and the x-ray crystal structure of bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)chlorothallium(III)

Carbon-13 and proton NMR spectra have been determined for organothallium (III) derivatives of the types RTlX₂ and R₂ TlX (R  (CH₃)₃CCH₂ or (CH₃)₃SiCH₂; X  Cl, Br or O₂CCH(CH₃)₂). The dependence of coupling of ¹³C and ¹H to thallium on the number and nature of R groups is discussed in terms of the Fermi contact mechanism for spinspin coupling.The crystal structure of [(CH₃)₃SiCH₂]₂ TlCl has been determined. The compound crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with a 10.618, b 24.492, c 6.017 Å, β 99.76°. The molecule is dimeric with each four-coordinate thallium atom bonded unequally to two bridging chlorine atoms. The CTlC angle is 168°.     

Refinement of the angular dependence of the peptide vicinal NHCαH coupling constant

The refined dependence of the peptide NHCαH vicinal coupling constant on the dihedral angle θ have been derived on the basis of the accumulated experimental data. The mean permissible values (in Hz) are approximated by ³J_NHCH = 9·4 cos² θ - 1·1 cos θ + 0·4 An analogous relationship for the sum of two vicinal NHCαH₂ coupling constants in the glycyl residue have been calculated from the above dependence. Measurements on N-methylacetamide in various solvents and in the presence of an alkali salt showed the vicinal constant NHCH to vary by not more than ± 3%. Some of the other proposed ³J_NHCH(θ) dependencies give too low values for the cis-oriented NH and CαH bonds. This may be due to the fact that in these correlations the data for compounds with cis-amide bonds have been used for 0° ? θ ? 90° region of the dependence.     

Isotope effects and H/D scrambling in the fragmentation of labelled propenes

The fragmentation reaction [C₃(H,D)₆]⁺· → [C₃(H,D)₅]⁺ + (H, D) has been examined in the metastable decomposition region for two pairs of labelled propenes: CH₃CD?CH₂,CD₃CH?CD₂ and CD₃CH?CH₂, CH₃CD?CD₂. The results indicate that complete hydrogen scrambling occurs in the propene molecular ion prior to fragmentation. The isotope effect kH/kD is in the range 2·1 to 3·3.     

Is the McLafferty rearrangement of ketones concerted or stepwise? The application of kinetic isotope effects

Intramolecular ¹³C and ²H isotope effects have been measured for unimolecular losses of ethene (the McLafferty rearrangement) from metastable molecular ions of 2-ethyl-1-phenylbutanl-1-one, 3-ethylpentan-2-one and heptan-4-one. Primary and secondary deuterium isotope effects are observed at the γ-(terminal) and β-positions, respectively. Large primary ¹³C isotope effects occur at β-positions and for the y positions of γ-ethylpentan-2-one and heptan-4-one. The carbon isotope effects in the cases of the doubly isotopically labelled CH₃COCH(C₂H₅)(¹³CH₂CH₃) and CD₃COCD(C₂D₅)(¹³CD₂CD₃) are 1.17 (±0.01) and 1.04 (±0.01), respectively. All of these isotope effects are consistent with a stepwise mechanism in which more than one step is rate determining.     

Organylselenoacetylene und selenocyanate; 77Se- und 13C-NMR-chemische verschiebungen und 77Se- 13C-spin-kopplungskonstanten

⁷⁷Se and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and ⁷⁷Se-¹³C spinspin coupling constants of mono- and bis(organylseleno)acetylenes and organyl selenocyanates are shown. The changes of ⁷⁷Se chemical shifts caused by variation of the organyl groups are well reflected by known increments. The δ(⁷⁷Se) and ¹J(⁷⁷Se¹³C) values of the investigated compounds are discussed in relation to the corresponding alkyl- and vinyl-selenides. The ¹J(⁷⁷Se¹³C) values of the selenoacetylenes and selenocyanates as well as alkyl- and vinyl-selenides are linearly dependednt (i) on ¹J(¹³C¹H) values of the corresponding hydrocarbons, hydrogen cyanide respectively and (ii) on the product of the s-characters of the coupled Se and C atoms. These linear correlations prove the predominance of the Fermi contact term for changes of the one-bond ⁷⁷Se¹³C coupling in dependence on hybridization.     

Détermination par RMN 1H et 13C des Couplages J(CH) et J(CC) dans des Monomères Precurseurs de Lignine: Vanilline,Férulate d'Ethyle et Alcool Coniférylique Sélectivement Enrichis en 2H et 13C

Some monomer model compounds of lignin have been selectively ²H and ¹³C labelled: vanillin, ethyl ferulate, coniferyl alcohol and ethyl hydrogen malonate. Deuterium isotope effects on the ¹³C chemical shifts in [formyl-²H]vanillin, [5-²H]vanillin and [α,α,5-²H₃]coniferyl alcohol made the unambiguous assignment of the aromatic ¹³C signals possible. Absolute ^1,2,3J(CC) values have been determined on ¹³C spectra of [formyl-¹³C]vanillin, and of ethyl ferulate and coniferyl alcohol in which the vinylic C-γ and C-β carbons were ¹³C enriched. It has been possible to measure ⁴J(C?O, C-4) in vanillin and ⁴J(C-γ, C-4) in ethyl ferulate. The determination of ^1,2,3,4J (CH) absolute values was done by means of gated decoupled ¹³C spectra of the non-labelled compounds. When second order effects made the use of this technique impossible we determined certain J(CH) values and their signs either by analysing the ¹H NMR spectra of ¹³C labelled coniferyl alcohol [²J(C-β, H-γ), ²J(C-β, H-α), ²J(C-γ, H-β), ³J(C-γ, H-α)] or by a double irradiation experiment on the 250 MHz ¹H NMR spectrum of ethyl [β-¹³C] ferulate [for ²J(C-β, H-γ)].     

Conformation of δ-cadinol in solution

An assignment of the signals in the¹³C and¹H NMR spectra of the natural sesquiterpene alcohol δ-cadinol has been made by the NMR method (INADEQUATE, 2D-INADEQUATE, two-dimensional C-H correlation on¹J_CH constants, two-dimensional homonuclear J-spectroscopy) and the spin-spin coupling constants¹J_CC and some J_HH constants have been determined. By comparing the experimental and calculated values of the spin-spin coupling constants J_HH it has been shown that the predominant conformation of the δ-cadinol molecule in solution is that in which ring A has the half-chair form and ring B the chair form with an equatorial arrangement of the hydroxy and isopropyl groups.

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Spectral editing for 13C NMR signals of deuterated compounds

J-modulation of ¹³C spin echo signals is used to develop a strategy for the analysis of deuterated compounds. On the basis of ¹ J(¹³C²H) and an experimental set-up that allows both ²H and ¹H decoupling, ¹³C subspectra for various groups can be produced. The application of difference methods facilitates the analysis and, finally, leads to the identification of CD, CD₂, CD₃, CHD, CHD₂ and CH₂D groups.     

Steric control in the stereospecific complexation of chiral α-olefins to platinum(II)

The complexes trans-dichloro[R(CH₃)C^*HCH=CH₂](pyridine)platinum-(II), R = C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, t-C₄H₉, have been prepared and their ¹H NMR and CD spectra investigated. The two diastereomers formed in the complexation of the chiral α-olefin to Pt^II are present in different concentrations in solution, the diastereomer of opposite absolute configuration at the two chiral centres being the prevailing one. The extent of stereoselectivity, evaluated both by NMR and CD, varies from 32% to 75% by changing the bulkiness of the R group. The preferred conformation of the two diastereomers for each complex has been established by NMR, taking into account the deshielding effect on the protons bound to saturated carbon atoms as well as J(HH) and J(PtH) coupling constants.     

Synthesis and multinuclear NMR data of the ferrocenes (Me3Ecp)2Fe (E = C,Si, Ge,Sn, Pb)

The substituted cyclopentadienyl anions Me₃Ecp⁻ with E = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb have been prepared from either the mono- or disubstituted cyclopentadienes, including the hitherto unknown (Me₃Pb)₂C₅H₄. Representative examples have been characterized by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Treatment with iron(II) chloride yielded the ferrocenes (Me₃Ecp)₂Fe, which have been investigated by ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn, and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectroscopy. ¹³C¹³C coupling and selective proton decoupling were used for the assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H signals. The shifts δ(¹³C) reflect the electron-releasing or -withdrawing power of the substituents Me₃E, but the isotope shifts ¹Δ¹³C(i)(¹³C(j)) do not show a similar trend. There is evidence that δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and δ(²⁰⁷Pb) are influenced by the coordination. The analysis of the coupling constants reveals that ¹J(¹³C(1)¹³C(2/5)) varies with the electronegativity of E. Because of the small range (4.5–5.0 Hz) of ¹J(⁵⁷Fe¹³C) the effect of E is apparent only when E = C is replaced by E = Si. As for the coupling between E and ¹³C or ¹H, the square root of the reduced coupling constant K is related linearly to the atomic number of E; exceptions are ¹K(²⁰⁷Pb¹³C).     

Hochauflösungs-13c-nmr-spektroskopie—III: Strukturabhängigkeit der vicinalen methyl-13c,h-kopplungen in methylazulenen,methylaceheptylenen und anderen methyl-sub stituierten polycyclen mit fünf- und siebengliedrigen ringen

The vicinal couplings of ring hydrogens to methyl C atoms (³J_CH3H) in 22 methyl substituted non-benzenoid polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons have been determined from the undecoupled ¹³C NMR spectra and have been correlated with bond lengths as well as with the corresponding vicinal H,H couplings, which are taken partly from own ¹H NMR analysis and partly from literature. As a result the (³J_CH3H) couplings of sterically unperturbated methyl groups in 7-membered rings are proportional to the corresponding ³J_HH values which is indicative of comparable influences, but both types of vicinal couplings are not dependent on bond lengths only. Moreover they are to a large extent determined by the CCH bond angles θ and θ', which show a significant variation in condensed 7-membered rings so that this twofold dependence has to be taken into account for structure determinations.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Analysis of the 1H and 13C spectra of Br13CH213CH2Br

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1,2-dibromoethane-¹³C₂ have been analyzed to determine the magnitude (38·9 Hz) and sign (positive) of ¹J(C? C) relative to those of ³J(H? H) (positive). This type of coupling appears to be rather insensitive to the presence of bromine or methyl as substituents on the carbons.     

Pulsed fourier transform NMR of substituted aryltrimethyltin derivatives : IV. Proton and carbon-13 NMR data for ortho-, 2,6-, and poly-substituted aryltrimethyltins

Proton and carbon-13 NMR data recorded in the Fourier transform mode are reported for ten ortho-substituted, six 2,6-disubstituted, and six miscellaneous polysubstituted aryltrimethyltin compounds. Although ¦¹J(¹³C¹H)¦ and ¦²J(¹¹⁹SnC¹H)¦ coupling constants are rather insensitive to substituent variation, tin methyl proton chemical shifts reflect the increasing inductive effects as methyl-, chloro-, fluoro-, and trifluoromethyl-groups are brought into juxtaposition with the trimethyltin moiety. Resonances in the natural-abundance carbon-13 NMR spectra for the tin derivatives are assigned on the basis of additivity relationships, proton undecoupled spectra, and relative magnitudes of ¦J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C)¦ and ¦J(¹³C¹⁹F)¦ coupling constants. Mutually deshielding γ-, δ-, and ?-effects in the carbon-13 chemical shifts of substituent carbons are rationalized in terms of steric crowding between the trimethyltin group and neighboring substituents. Deshieldings in ring carbons formally para- to conjugating substituents are discussed in terms of the steric inhibition of resonance model. Previous conclusions concerning lack of significant higher coordination at tin in aryltin derivatives bearing substituents with lone pair electrons are corroborated in this work.     

Structure, 31P and 13C chemical shift anisotrophy of (CH3)3P, (CH3)3PO, (CH3)3PS and (CH3)3PSe as determined by liquid crystal NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³P and ¹³C spectra of the triply ¹³C labelled molecules (CH₃)₃P, (CH₃)₃PO, (CH₃)₃PS and (CH₃)₃PSe oriented in a nematic phase are reported. The CPC bond angles have been measured. The ¹³P chemical shift tensor shows a large anisotropy except in the case of (CH₃)₃P. The abnormal large value observed for the PSe bond length suggests a large anisotropy of the ¹J(PSe) spin coupling.     

Reaction of photogenerated fluorine atoms with dopant molecules in solid argon

The products of reactions of dopant CH₄ molecules with F atoms diffusing in solid argon at 20–30 K were identified by ESR and FTIR spectroscopy. The F atoms stabilized in the matrix were generated by UV photolysis of Ar?CH₄(CD₄)?F (1000∶1∶1) samples at 13 K. Subsequent heating above 20 K results in thawing off diffusion of the F atoms and formation of products of their reaction with CH₄: radical-molecular complexes^·CH₃?HF (^·CD₃?DF) and radicals^·CH₃ (^·CD₃). The ESR spectra of the radicala are similar to those observed for matrix-isolated^·CH₃. The^·CH₃?HF complexes are characterized by the IR band of HF stetching vibration at 3764 cm^?1. Two additional splittings on the H (a _H·=2 G) and F(a _F=16G) nuclei of the HF molecule appeal in the ESR spectrum of the complex. The latter splitting is retained in the^·CD₃?DF complex, whereA _D· <0.3G The rate constant of the reaction CH₄+F→^·CH₃+HF is equal to ?10^?25 cm³s^?1 at 20 K. Its activation energy (1.7±0.2 kcal mol^?1) is ?0.5 kcal mol^?1 greater than that in the gas phase. The collinear C_3v-configuration of the^·CH₃?HF complex, which is similar to the configuration of the reagents in the transition state of the reaction considered, was established by the comparison of the exprrimental constants of hyperfine coupling with the results of the quantum-chemical calculation.
