Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments of three labdane diterpenoids isolated from Leonotis ocymifolia and six other related compounds

Unambiguous and complete assignments of ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for three structurally complex labadane diterpenoids isolated from Leonotis ocymifolia (leonotin, leonotinin and nepetaefolin) and six other related compounds (hispanolone, 7α‐ and 7β‐hispanols, marrubiin, villenol and andalusol), previously isolated from Labiatae species, are presented.

Structural and spectral assignment of a new diterpenoid isolated from Ballota undulata and a complete (1)H and (13)C NMR data assignment for three other structurally related compounds

The structure of 3beta-hydroxyballotinone, a new labdane diterpenoid isolated from Ballota undulata, has been established by NMR spectroscopic studies.

Synthesis and complete NMR spectral assignment of thiophene-substituted sulfinyl monomers

This paper describes the synthesis of thiophene-substituted sulfinyl monomers. It comprises a four-step reaction by which the thiophene unit is built in via Suzuki coupling. These monomers could be used as building blocks for the preparation of conducting polymers via a new concept: the sulfinyl precursor route i.e. via thiophene substituted poly(p-phenylenevinylene) precursors. Furthermore, the complete 1H and 13C NMR signal assignment is presented. In addition to being essential for the characterization of the polymers concerned, it offers useful input information for further improvement of chemical shift prediction software. Furthermore, the T1C relaxation decay times are demonstrated to have the potential of being a fast and robust criterion for the spectral assignment of analogous monomers.

Structural elucidation and complete assignment of a novel class of sulfonamides: bridgehead tricyclic sultams

Endocyclic sulfonamide templates bearing both an exocyclic ketone function and an internal olefin underwent reaction with a variety of hydroxylamines to effect an intramolecular nitrone–olefin cycloaddition to afford a new class of compounds suitable for derivatization by high‐throughput medicinal chemistry. Structural elucidation via complete assignment of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of this new class of compounds was achieved using gradient‐COSY, gradient heteronuclear multiple quantum‐coherence spectroscopy and gradient heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy. Additionally, double pulsed field gradient spin echo–nuclear Overhauser effect experiments were carried out in order to study the spatial conformation of this new type of molecule and assess the stereo‐ and regio‐selectivity of the chemical transformation. The unequivocal molecular framework and structural conformation was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
