ortho-Mercuration of ferrocenylimines

The mercuration of a series of aryliminomethylferrocenes occurred predominantly in an ortho-position of the substituted ferrocenyl ring to yield 2-mercurated ferrocenylimines. The regiospecificity of this reaction suggests that the mercury is directed into the ortho-position by coordination of the mercury to imino nitrogen with subsequent electrophilic substitution. The chromatographic and spectral properties of the 2-mercurated products show the presence of an intramolecular N → Hg coordination via the five-membered ring in these molecules, which was further confirmed by the single-crystal structure analysis of 2-chloromercuro-1-[(4-methoxyphenylimino)methyl]ferrocene.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of Strychnos alkaloids: Selected NMR updates

The PBE0/pcSseg-2//pcseg-2 calculations of ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts were performed for a classical series of 12 Strychnos alkaloids (except for the earlier studied parent strychnine), namely akuammicine, isostrychnine, rosibiline, tsilanine, spermostrychnine, diaboline, cyclostrychnine, henningsamide, strychnosilidine, strychnobrasiline, holstiine, and icajine. It was found that the calculated ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts show markedly good correlations with available experimental data, as characterized by a mean absolute error of 0.22 ppm for the range of 8 ppm for protons and 1.97 ppm for the range of 180 ppm for carbons. Complementarily, the present results provide essential NMR update and fill a gap in the NMR data of this distinguished group of vitally important natural products.     

Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts of ketenimines: a GIAO/HF and DFT study

GIAO/HF and DFT methods were utilized to predict the ¹³C chemical shifts of substituted ketenimines. GIAO HF/6–311+G(2d,p) and B3LYP/6–311+G(2d,p) methods were applied on the optimized B3LYP/6–31G(d) geometries and ¹³C chemical shifts of C_α and C_β of substituted ketenimines were correlated with group electronegativities. HF and DFT calculations indicated that increasing substituent group electronegativity leads to increasing chemical shift of C_β of substituted ketenimines, whereas the C_α values decrease.

Substituent effects of the N,N-dimethyl- sulfamoyl group on the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of positional isomers of quinolines

The complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of seven positional isomers of N,N-dimethylsulfamoylquinolines 2-8 and quinoline have been made using 1D and 2D NMR techniques, including COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. Deltadelta(H) and Deltadelta(C) substituent effects induced by the sulfamoyl group were determined. The sulfamoyl substituent affects proton and carbon chemical shifts both in the parent and in the fused (pyridine or benzene) ring.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra of N-substituted morpholines

(1)H and (13)C NMR data for N-substituted morpholines 1-20 were measured using 1D (DEPT, 1D NOE difference) and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods including (1)H-(1)H COSY, long-range (1)H-(1)H COSY, NOESY, gHMBC and gHMQC experiments. At room temperature the (1)H NMR spectra of protonated compounds 2 and 9 show the chair conformation for the morpholine ring. Spin-spin coupling constants were deduced from the resolution-enhanced proton spectra.     

13C NMR spectra and the structure of dithizone

The structural characteristics of dithizone in the solid state and in solution were studied by a high-resolution¹³C NMR method. A highly symmetrical structure of dithizone was established in the crystalline state, and it was suggested that it exhibits dual behavior in complexation reactions with metal ions.V. I.

Towards the automatic analysis of NMR spectra: part 6. Confirmation of chemical structure employing both 1H and 13C NMR spectra

A method of comparing predicted and experimental chemical shifts was used to confirm or refute postulated structures. 1H NMR spectra returned all true positives with a false positive rate of 4%. When an analogous procedure was adopted for 13C NMR spectra, the false positive rate dropped to 1%, whereas the more practical HSQC data yielded a false positive rate of 2%. If the HSQC results were combined with 1H results, a false positive rate of 1% resulted, 4 times more accurate than 1H alone.     

Co-acquisition of hyperpolarised 13C and 15N NMR spectra

Recent developments in dynamic nuclear polarisation now allow significant enhancements to be generated in the cryo solid state and transferred to the liquid state for detection at high resolution. We demonstrate that the Ardenkjaer-Larsen method can be extended by taking advantage of the properties of the trityl radicals used. It is possible to hyperpolarise 13C and 15N simultaneously in the solid state, and to maintain these hyperpolarisations through rapid dissolution into the liquid state. We demonstrate the almost simultaneous measurement of hyperpolarised 13C and hyperpolarised 15N NMR spectra. The prospects for further improvement of the method using contemporary technology are also discussed.     

Complete assignments of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 9,10-didehydro retinoic acids

A new class of retinoic acids was synthesized containing a 9,10-rigid bond. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were assigned for eight new compounds (all-E, 13Z) containing a carboxylic acid or tertiobutylester polar end group. Assignments were based on the combination of one- and two-dimensional experiments (APT, COSY, HMBC).     

Solid state13C NMR spectra of metal carbonyl clusters

The solid state¹³C NMR spectra of four¹³CO enriched carbonyl clusters having a tri-iron metallic core have been analyzed to provide structural and dynamic information. In Fe₃(CO)₁₂ (1), the high temperature spectra suggest the occurrence of large amplitude motions of the CO groups around their position at the vertexes of the coordination polyhedron in addition to the motion involving the Fe₃-triangle previously detected in the VT-¹³C MAS spectra.¹³C and³¹P NMR data of Fe₃(CO)₁₁PPh₃ (2) indicates the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit in apparent disagreement with the previously reported X-ray data. Furthermore, we show that structural information can be obtained from the chemical shift tensor components readily available from the analysis of the spinning sideband manifold.

7Li and 13C solid-state NMR spectra of lithium cuprates

7Li and 13C solid-state MAS NMR spectra of three lithium cuprates with known X-ray structures--lithium([12]crown-4)2 dimethyl and diphenyl cuprate (1,2) and lithium(thf)4-[tris(trimethylsilyl) methyl]2 cuprate (3)--have been measured and analysed with respect to the quadrupolar coupling constants of lithium-7, chi(7Li), and the asymmetry parameters of the quadrupolar interactions, eta(7Li), as well as the 6, 7Li and 13C chemical shifts. The chi(7Li) values of 23, 30, and 18 kHz for 1, 2 and 3, respectively, are in line with the high symmetry around the lithium nucleus in the solvent-separated structures and may be used as reference data for this structural motif. Calculations based on charges derived from ab initio 6-31 G* HF computations using the point charge model (PCM) and the program GAMESS support the experimental findings.

13C PHIP NMR spectra and polarization transfer during the homogeneous hydrogenation of alkynes with parahydrogen

Homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenations of unsaturated substrates with parahydrogen not only lead to strong polarization signals in ¹H NMR spectra, but also can give rise to strong heteronuclear polarization, especially if the hydrogenations are carried out in low magnetic fields. As a typical example, the polarization transfer from protons to carbon nuclei during the hydrogenation of alkynes is outlined for several substrates. In systems containing easily accessible triple bonds, e.g. phenylethyne or 3,3‐dimethyl‐1‐butyne, polarization transfer occurs to all carbon nuclei in the molecule. Accordingly, in NMR spectra recorded in situ all ¹³C resonances can be observed with good to excellent signal‐to‐noise ratios using only a single transient. The qualitative influence of symmetry and electronic aspects of the substrate and its hydrogenation product on the efficiency of the transfer of polarization to the ¹³C‐nuclei are discussed.

Crystal structures of anil of benzoylferrocene and its derivative of mercury: Specific arrangement of the ferrocenyl and phenyl groups around the C=N bond

The crystal structures of [(phenylimino) phenylmethyl]ferrocene (1) and 2-chloromercurio-1-[(phenylimino)phenylmethyl]ferrocene (2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods to obtain structural information on the anils of benzoylferrocene and their mercurated derivatives. The most striking feature is the specific arrangements of the phenyl and cyclopentadienyl rings around the C=N bond. It has been found that the N-phenyl ring adopts a trans conformation with the ferrocenyl moiety, and the twist angles of both the N-phenyl and C-phenyl rings out of the plane of C=N bond are much larger than that of the s substituted ferrocenyl ring out of this plane. A comparison between the structures of 1 and 2 is presented. The intramolecular coordination between the Hg and N in compound 2 is confirned, showing an N---Hg distance of 2.870 Å, shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of N and Hg (3.05–3.15 Å).
