Characterization of 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazolines by multinuclear magnetic resonance and density functional theory calculations. Investigation on a case of very remote Hammett correlation

Two series of 2,5‐diaryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazolines have been studied by multinuclear magnetic resonance and density functional theory calculations. A full NMR spectroscopic characterization has been performed and excellent remote Hammett correlations (σ_p or ) have been found for para substitution in the two aryl rings through at least 11 bonds, notwithstanding the presence in the path of atoms that should act as insulators and a lack of correlation for some of the intermediate atoms. The computational investigation on the electronic delocalization, performed with the ACID (anisotropy of the induced current density) method, reveals indeed that electrons are delocalized in almost the entire molecule despite the presence of the insulators.

Identification of 2‐chloropyrazine oxidation products and several derivatives by multinuclear magnetic resonance

¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts were used to prove the structures of the products of 2‐chloropyrazine oxidation. It was shown that oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid or m‐chloroperbenzoic acid leads to the N4‐oxide, whereas potassium persulfate in sulfuric acid gives the N1‐oxide as the main product. Additionally, the results of NMR measurements of products from the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom by azide anion, yielding the respective azides, and ethylation reactions of both 2‐chloropyrazine N‐oxides leading to the N‐ethyl salts confirm the structures of both isomeric N‐oxides. Protonation studies of the compounds obtained are also reported. The favoured protonation site is found to be the N atom that is not hindered by any substituents, and in some cases probably the oxygen atom of the N‐oxide function.

DFT and multinuclear magnetic resonance studies of diazenedicarboxylates and related compounds

A number of diazenedicarboxylates have been studied by multinuclear magnetic resonance ((17)O, (15)N, (13)C) and compared with analogous fumaric, maleic, and phthalic diesters; the investigation of selected compounds of these classes was complemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations using a polarizable continuum model (PCM) for the solvent, employing the PBE0 functional together with the 6-311G(d,p) basis set for geometry optimization, and the 6-311 + G(2d,p) basis set for calculating the NMR shielding using the gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) method. This combined approach provided important information about the preferred conformations in chloroform and their influence on the NMR parameters.     

Full multinuclear resonance analysis of 4-amino-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane

The complete assignment of 19F, 1H and 13C NMR spectra for a monosubstituted octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane derivative is described for the first time. The unambiguous assignments were achieved through the combination of 19F--1H HOESY, 1H COSY and 19F COSY techniques and then further confirmed employing a complementary approach using a Karplus-dependent 3JCF interaction. Interesting aspects of the coupling patterns for various JHH, JHF, JCF and JFF interactions are also discussed.

Combined ab initio computational and experimental multinuclear solid-state magnetic resonance study of phenylphosphonic acid

1H, 13C, 17O and 31P NMR parameters, including chemical shift tensors and quadrupolar parameters for 17O, were calculated for phenylphosphonic acid, C6H5PO(OH)2, under periodic boundary conditions. The results are in very good agreement with experimental data and permit the unambiguous assignment of all the sites present in the structure. In particular, the 17O NMR parameters of the P=O and P-OH environments were precisely determined, which should help in the characterization of the bonding mode of phosphonate molecules in hybrid solids. Moreover, the effect of intermolecular interactions on the NMR parameters were investigated by comparing the results of the calculations in the crystal and in an isolated molecule of phenylphosphonic acid.     

Conformational and structural analysis of exocyclic olefins and ketimines by multinuclear magnetic resonance

The (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR spectra of 5 exocyclic alkenes and 15 different ketimines obtained from cyclohexanone and derivatives using benzyl bromide and primary amines-are analyzed. Relative stereochemical and preferential conformations are determined by analyzing both the homonuclear coupling and the chemical shifts of the protons and carbon atoms in the aliphatic rings, which are directly related to the geometry of the double bond and the steric and electronic effects of the exocyclic group. In addition, the racemic mixture of the N-(4-methylcyclohexylidene)pyridine-3-amine derivative is resolved.
