A multinuclear 1H, 13C, and 15N magnetic resonance study of ten 4-nitropyridine N-oxides

The ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts of ten 4-nitropyridine N-oxide derivatives are assigned. The shielding of the pyridine ring nitrogen is sensitive to ring substitution through inductive effects, steric effects by ortho-substituents, and the possibility for electron delocalisation (resonance energy). In solution, 3-ethylnitrosoamino-4-nitropyridine N-oxide has two tautomers. The proposed reason is the steric crowding between vicinal 4-nitro and 3-ethylnitrosoamino groups, causing a disturbance to amino nitrogen that can delocalize its lone pair to the oxygen atom of the nitroso group.     

Complete 1H, 13C and 15N NMR assignment of tirapazamine and related 1,2,4-benzotriazine N-oxides

1H, 13C and 15N NMR measurements (1D and 2D including 1H--15N gs-HMBC) have been carried out on 3-amino-1, 2,4-benzotriazine and a series of N-oxides and complete assignments established. N-Oxidation at any position resulted in large upfield shifts of the corresponding N-1 and N-2 resonances and downfield shifts for N-4 with the exception of the 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1-oxide in which a small upfield shift of N-4 was observed. Density functional GIAO calculations of the 15N and 13C chemical shifts [B3LYP/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p)] gave good agreement with experimental values confirming the assignments. The combination of 13C and 15N NMR provides an unambiguous method for assigning the 1H and 13C resonances of N-oxides of 1,2,4-benzotriazines.     

Hydroacridines: part 29. 15N NMR chemical shifts of 9-substituted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroacridines and their N-oxides-Taft, Swain-Lupton, and other types of linear correlations

The (15)N NMR chemical shifts of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroacridine, 12 of its 9-substituted derivatives, and of the corresponding N-oxides were measured and examined in terms of the 9-substituent effects and the effects of N-oxidation. For the 9-substituent effects, good linear correlations were found with the Taft and Swain-Lupton substituent constants, for both octahydroacridines and their N-oxides. The (15)N chemical shifts of both octahydroacridines and their N-oxides also correlate well, linearly with the (13)C chemical shifts of the para-carbons in analogously substituted benzene derivatives.Within the studied compounds, the magnitudes of the N-oxidation effects range from - 16.4 to - 27.4 ppm (shielding), and also correlate linearly with the Taft and Swain-Lupton substituent constants, as well as with the bond orders of the N(+)-O(-) bonds in the corresponding N-oxides. Furthermore, a very good linear correlation is found between the (15)N chemical shifts of octahydroacridines and those of the corresponding N-oxides. From the (15)N chemical shifts data, the Taft and Swain-Lupton substituent constants for the diacetylamino group (-NAc(2)) were evaluated in the present paper, as follows: sigma(R) = 0.07 and sigma(I) = 0.15; R = 0.08 and F= 0.20.     

Protonenresonanzspektren von aromatischen N-Oxiden Berechnung der chemischen Verschiebungen,verursacht durch die Feldeffekte der N?O-gruppe

The proton NMR. spectra of a series of aromatic amines, their N-oxides and the corresponding protonated species are analysed. The results for different protons are expressed in terms of differential chemical shifts of the N-oxide with respect to the corresponding amine or to the hydrocarbon. These data are compared with calculated shielding values obtained according to the theories of McConnell & Buckingham using published data for the magnetic susceptibilities and electric dipoles of the functional groups. The major part of the shielding by the N-oxide group originates from the electric dipole. If one considers resonance structures for the aromatic N-oxides the single bond structure and the double bond structure for the N? O bond are of approximately equal importance.     

Experimental and quantum-chemical studies of 1H, 13C and 15N NMR coordination shifts in Pd(II) and Pt(II) chloride complexes with quinoline, isoquinoline, and 2,2'-biquinoline

1H, 13C, and 15N NMR studies of platinide(II) (M=Pd, Pt) chloride complexes with quinolines (L=quinoline-quin, or isoquinoline-isoquin; LL=2,2'-biquinoline-bquin), having the general formulae trans-/cis-[ML2Cl2] and [M(LL)Cl2], were performed and the respective chemical shifts (delta1H, delta13C, delta15N) reported. 1H coordination shifts of various signs and magnitudes (Delta1Hcoord=delta1Hcomplex-delta1Hligand) are discussed in relation to the changes of diamagnetic contribution to the relevant 1H shielding constants. The comparison to the literature data for similar complexes containing auxiliary ligands other than chlorides exhibited a large dependence of delta1H parameters on electron density variations and ring-current effects (inductive and anisotropic phenomena). The influence of deviations from planarity, concerning either MN2Cl2 chromophores or azine ring systems, revealed by the known X-ray structures of [Pd(bquin)Cl2] and [Pt(bquin)Cl2], is discussed in respect to 1H NMR spectra. 15N coordination shifts (Delta15Ncoord=delta15Ncomplex-delta15Nligand) of ca. 78-100 ppm (to lower frequency) are attributed mainly to the decrease of the absolute value of paramagnetic contribution in the relevant 15N shielding constants, this phenomenon being noticeably dependent on the type of a platinide metal and coordination sphere geometry. The absolute magnitude of Delta15Ncoord parameter increased by ca 15 ppm upon Pd(II)-->Pt(II) replacement but decreased by ca. 15 ppm following trans-->cis transition. Experimental 1H, 13C, 15N NMR chemical shifts are compared to those quantum-chemically calculated by B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G**//B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G*, both in vacuo and in CHCl3 or DMF solution.     

Experimental and quantum-chemical studies of 1H, 13C and 15N NMR coordination shifts in Pd(II) and Pt(II) chloride complexes with methyl and phenyl derivatives of 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline

1H, 13C and 15N NMR studies of platinide(II) (M=Pd, Pt) chloride complexes with methyl and phenyl derivatives of 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline [LL=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbpy); 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dpbpy); 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen); 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpphen)] having a general [M(LL)Cl2] formula were performed and the respective chemical shifts (delta1H, delta13C, delta15N) reported. 1H high-frequency coordination shifts (Delta1Hcoord=delta1Hcomplex-delta1Hligand) were discussed in relation to the changes of diamagnetic contribution in the relevant 1H shielding constants. The comparison to literature data for similar [M(LL)(XX)], [M(LL)X2] and [M(LL)XY] coordination or organometallic compounds containing various auxiliary ligands revealed a large dependence of delta1H parameters on inductive and anisotropic effects. 15N low-frequency coordination shifts (Delta15Ncoord=delta 15Ncomplex-delta15Nligand) of ca 88-96 ppm for M=Pd and ca 103-111 ppm for M=Pt were attributed to both the decrease of the absolute value of paramagnetic contribution and the increase of the diamagnetic term in the expression for 15N shielding constants. The absolute magnitude of Delta15Ncoord parameter increased by ca 15 ppm upon Pd(II)-->Pt(II) transition and by ca 6-7 ppm following dmbpy-->dmphen or dpbpy-->dpphen ligand replacement; variations between analogous complexes containing methyl and phenyl ligands (dmbpy vs dpbpy; dmphen vs dpphen) did not exceed+/-1.5 ppm. Experimental 1H, 13C, 15N NMR chemical shifts were compared to those quantum-chemically calculated by B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G**//B3LYP/LanL2DZ+6-31G*, both in vacuo and in DMSO or DMF solution.     

15N NMR spectroscopy of labeled alkoxyamines. 15N-labeled model compounds for nitroxide-trapping studies in free-radical (Co)polymerization

Eight (15)N-labeled derivatives of 1-ethoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine were synthesized in order to investigate the effects of their structural units on (15)N NMR spectra. A single peak is found for each alkoxyamine. The chemical shift depends extensively on the nature of the alpha carbon atom of the alkoxy group. The remote functional group attached to position 4 of the piperidine ring has a smaller but still significant effect. The results of the (15)N NMR measurements are supported by the detection of the N-H and N-C spin-spin coupling from the (1)H and (13)C NMR. The investigated alkoxyamines are model compounds for the radical-trapping products of styryl, methyl methacryloyl, alpha-methylstyryl, and methyl acryloyl radicals by (15)N-labeled nitroxides. The potential of (15)N NMR spectroscopy to analyze such products is discussed. In addition, it is shown that the (13)C chemical shifts of the alpha carbon atom of the alkoxy group fall in an empty part of the (13)C NMR spectrum, which allows the identification of trapped (macro)radicals via natural abundance (13)C NMR.     

Solid-state NMR and computational studies of 4-methyl-2-nitroacetanilide

Studies on the solid-state structure of two polymorphs of 4-methyl-2-nitroacetanilide (MNA) were conducted using magic-angle spinning (13)C, (15)N and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, together with first-principles computations of NMR shielding (including use of a program that takes explicit account of the translational symmetry inherent in crystalline structures). The effects on (13)C chemical shifts of side-chain rotations have been explored. Information derived from these studies was then incorporated within a systematic space-search methodology for elucidation of trial crystallographic structures from powder XRD.     

The impact of the pi-electron conjugation on (15)N, (13)C and (1)H NMR chemical shifts in push-pull benzothiazolium salts. Experimental and theoretical study

The (15)N as well as (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts of eight push-pull benzothiazolium iodides with various pi-conjugated chains between dimethylamino group and benzothiazolium moiety have been determined by NMR spectroscopy at the natural-abundance level of all nuclei in DMSO-d(6) solution. In general, the quaternary benzothiazolium nitrogen is more shielded [delta((15)N-3) vary between - 241.3 and - 201.9 ppm] with respect to parent 3-methylbenzothiazolium iodide [delta((15)N-3) = - 183.8 ppm], depending on the length and constitution of the pi-conjugated bridge. A larger variation in (15)N chemical shifts is observed on dimethylamino nitrogen, which covers the range of - 323.3 to - 257.2 ppm. The effect of pi-conjugation degree has a less pronounced influence on (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts. Experimental data are interpreted by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Reasonable agreement between theoretical and experimental (15)N NMR chemical shifts was found, particularly when performing calculations with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals. A better accord with experiment is achieved by utilizing a polarizable continuum model (PCM) along with an explicit treatment of hydrogen-bonding between the solute and the water present in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Finally, (13)C and (1)H NMR spectra were computed and analysed in order to compare them with available experimental data.     

Substituent cross-interaction effects on the electronic character of the C=N bridging group in substituted benzylidene anilines--models for molecular cores of mesogenic compounds. A 13C NMR study and comparison with theoretical results

13C NMR chemical shifts delta(C)(C=N) were measured in CDCl3 for a wide set of mesogenic molecule model compounds, viz. the substituted benzylidene anilines p-X-C6H4CH=NC6H4-p-Y (X = NO2, CN, CF3, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2; Y = NO2, CN, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2). The substituent dependence of delta(C)(C=N) was used as a tool to study electronic substituent effects on the azomethine unit. The benzylidene substituents X have a reverse effect on delta(C)(C=N): electron-withdrawing substituents cause shielding, while electron-donating ones behave oppositely, the inductive effects clearly predominating over the resonance effects. In contrast, the aniline substituents Y exert normal effects: electron-withdrawing substituents cause deshielding, while electron-donating ones cause shielding of the C=N carbon, the strengths of the inductive and resonance effects being closely similar. Additionally, the presence of a specific cross-interaction between X and Y could be verified. The electronic effects of the neighboring aromatic ring substituents systematically modify the sensitivity of the C=N group to the electronic effects of the benzylidene or aniline ring substituents. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the aniline ring decrease the sensitivity of delta(C)(C=N) to the substitution on the benzylidine ring, while electron-donating substituents have the opposite effect. In contrast, electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzylidene ring increase the sensitivity of delta(C)(C=N) to the substituent on the aniline ring, while electron-donating substituents act in the opposite way. These results can be rationalized in terms of the substituent-sensitive balance of the electron delocalization (mesomeric effects). The present NMR characteristics are discussed as regards the computational literature data. Valuable information has been obtained on the effects of the substituents on the molecular core of the mesogenic model compounds.

1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectral characterization of twenty-seven 1,2-diaryl-(4E)-arylidene-2-imidazolin-5-ones

1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts and couplings (n)J(H,C) in DMSO-d(6) at 30 degrees C have been determined for 1,2-diaryl-(4E)-arylidene-2-imidazolin-5-one derivatives 1-27. Their chemical shift assignments are based on PFG DQF 1H,1H COSY, PFG 1H,13C HMQC as well as PFG 1H,13C and 1H,15N HMBC experiments. For compounds 1-10 including aryl fluorine substituent(s) also the couplings (n)J(F,C) (n = 1 - 4) are reported.     

NMR spectra of cyclic nitrones. 4. Synthesis and 13C NMR spectra of 4H-imidazole N-oxides and N,N-dioxides

4H-Imidazole 1,3-dioxides and 4H-imidazole 3-oxides were obtained by oxidation of 1-hydroxy-3-imidazoline 3-oxides and 1-hydroxy-3-imidazolines with lead and manganese dioxides or the stable nitroxyl radical, while 4H-imidazole 1-oxides were obtained by thermal decomposition of 1-acetoxy-3-imidazoline 3-oxides. Facile oxidation of the ethyl group in 5-ethyl-4H-imidazole 1,3-dioxide and the formation of 5-acetyl-4H-imidazole 1,3-dioxide and 5-acetyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxide were observed. It is shown that a strictly determined region of chemical shifts of the C(₂), C(₅), and C(₄) atoms is characteristic for each group of 4H-imidazole N-oxides in the ¹³C NMR spectra; this makes it possible to clearly establish the position of the N-oxide oxygen atom.See [1] for Communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1640–1648, December, 1988.     

Specificity of 15N NMR chemical shifts to the nature of substituents and tautomerism in substituted pyridine N-oxides

¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts have been measured for 2-aminopyridine N-oxide (1), its eleven derivatives (2–10, 13, 14), and 3-Cl and 3-Br substituted 4-nitropyridine N-oxides (11, 12). δ(¹⁵N) of pyridine ring nitrogen in 2-acetylaminopyridine N-oxides are 5.9–11.5 ppm deshielded from those in 2-aminopyridine N-oxides. When amino and acetylamino substituents are in 4-position, δ(¹⁵N) of ring nitrogen is 21.3 ppm deshielded in the acetylated derivative. The strong resonance interaction between 2-amino and 5-nitro groups reflects in the decrease of amino nitrogen shielding about 5.3–17.9 ppm. Also, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data are in agreement with ¹⁵N NMR results reflected as deshielded amino protons and carbons C-2 and C-5. The pyridine nitrogen chemical shift in all amino- and acetylamino derivatives vary between ?101.2 and ?126.7 ppm, which has been connected with the tautomeric balance in our earlier studies.     

Prediction of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of alpha-D-glucose in water by DFT methods and MD simulations

We have applied computational protocols based on DFT and molecular dynamics simulations to the prediction of the alkyl 1H and 13C chemical shifts of alpha-d-glucose in water. Computed data have been compared with accurate experimental chemical shifts obtained in our laboratory. 13C chemical shifts do not show a marked solvent effect. In contrast, the results for 1H chemical shifts provided by structures optimized in the gas phase are only fair and point out that it is necessary to take into account both the flexibility of the glucose structure and the strong effect exerted by solvent water thereupon. Thus, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to model both the internal geometry as well as the influence of solvent molecules on the conformational distribution of the solute. Snapshots from the simulation were used as input to DFT NMR calculations with varying degrees of sophistication. The most important factor that affects the accuracy of computed 1H chemical shifts is the solute geometry; the effect of the solvent on the shielding constants can be reasonably accounted for by self-consistent reaction field models without the need of explicitly including solvent molecules in the NMR property calculation.     

1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts of substituted pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines

G-matrix Fourier transform NOESY-based protocol for high-quality protein structure determination

A protocol for high-quality structure determination based on G-matrix Fourier transform (GFT) NMR is presented. Five through-bond chemical shift correlation experiments providing 4D and 5D spectral information at high digital resolution are performed for resonance assignment. These are combined with a newly implemented (4,3)D GFT NOESY experiment which encodes information of 4D 15N/15N-, 13C(alipahtic)/15N-, and 13C(aliphatic)/13C(aliphatic)-resolved [1H,1H]-NOESY in two subspectra, each containing one component of chemical shift doublets arising from 4D --> 3D projection at omega1:Omega(1H) +/- Omega(X) [X = 15N,13C(aliphatic)]. The peaks located at the centers of the doublets are obtained from simultaneous 3D 15N/13C(aliphatic)/13C(aromatic)-resolved [1H,1H]-NOESY, wherein NOEs detected on aromatic protons are also obtained. The protocol was applied for determining a high-quality structure of the 14 kDa Northeast Structural Genomics consortium target protein, YqfB (PDB ID ). Through-bond correlation and NOESY spectra were acquired, respectively, in 16.9 and 39 h (30 h for shift doublets, 9 h for central peaks) on a 600 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryogenic probe. The rapidly collected highly resolved 4D NOESY information allows one to assign the majority of NOEs directly from chemical shifts, which yields accurate initial structures "within" approximately 2 angstroms of the final structure. Information theoretical "QUEEN" analysis of initial distance limit constraint networks revealed that, in contrast to structure-based protocols, such NOE assignment is not biased toward identifying additional constraints that tend to be redundant with respect to the available constraint network. The protocol enables rapid NMR data collection for robust high-quality structure determination of proteins up to approximately 20-25 kDa in high-throughput.

1H‐, 13C‐, and 15N‐NMR chemical shifts for selected glucosides and ribosides of aromatic cytokinins

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances of 16 purine glucosides were assigned by a combination of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR experiments, including gs‐COSY, gs‐HSQC, and gs‐HMBC, in order to characterize the effect of substituent and the position of glucose unit on the NMR chemical shifts. In addition, ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts for selected derivatives were investigated by using ¹H? ¹⁵N chemical shift correlation techniques. To map the influence of sugar moiety on the directly bonded nitrogen atom, selected N⁹‐glucosides and their ribose analogs were compared. Characteristic long‐range ¹H? ¹⁵N coupling constants, measured by using ¹H? ¹⁵N gradient‐selected single‐quantum multiple bond correlation (GSQMBC), are also reported and discussed. All compounds investigated here belong to cytokinins, an important group of plant hormones. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
