Synthesis and NMR spectroscopic studies of allylsulfanyl-N1-alkyl-N4-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamines and their cyclization products, 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophenes and thiochromans

Regioselective addition of allylthiol at the C-3 position adjacent to the nitrogen carrying the phenyl group of the 1,4-phenylenediamine moiety of compounds 1-4 was rigorously confirmed by 1D NOE difference in combination with gHMBC experiments. The structures of 1,4-phenylenediamines 1-4, allylsulfanyl-N1-alkyl-N4-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamines 5-8 and cyclization products 9-14 were completely analyzed in both CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 solutions. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 10 and 11, which contain two chiral centers, exhibit duplication for several signals, indicating the existence of two diastereomeric forms. The full structures of 5 and 9 were unambiguously confirmed by x-ray crystallography. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of all compounds were assigned using one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques (APT, DEPT, 1D NOE difference, COSY, NOESY, HETCOR, gHMQC and gHMBC).     

Assignment of the relative configuration of spiro[4.5]decanes by 13C, 15N and 17O NMR

The relative configuration of 11 1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]decanes (1a-1j and 1m), 15 1,4-oxazaspiro[4.5]decanes (2a-2o) and 10 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decanes (3a-3n) substituted at the 2-, 6-, 7- or 8-position by a methyl group or using the tert-butyl group as a model for the ananchomeric structure is reported. The relative stereochemistry was analyzed by 1H, 13C, 15N and 17O NMR and all isomers present were characterized spectroscopically. Compounds with a methyl group in the six-membered ring show a chair conformation preference with the methyl group in the equatorial position. Compounds with one or two nitrogens exhibit a tautomeric equilibrium between the imine-diazolidine forms, as demonstrated by IR and 13C NMR.     

Synthesis,NMR‐Spectroscopy,and Molecular Structure of a Phosphonyl Ene Diamine

First examples of ene diamines with a phosphonate function at the C=C double bond were obtained by the reaction of dialkyl H‐phosphonates with bis(N‐tert‐butyl)‐diimine derived from glyoxal, [1,4‐bis(tert‐butyl)‐1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene], and isolated as hydrochlorides. Preferentially the cis‐diamine is formed. The new phosphonates are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy(¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P). In addition the methyl ester 8a was characterized by ^14,15N NMR spectroscopy as well as by several 2D NMR techniques and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, unequivocally establishing the ene diamine structure. In the crystal dimers of the cations are formed by P–O ··· H–N hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis of some NH- and NH,S- substituted 1,4-quinones

A series of NH-substituted-1,4-quinones, possessing one, two, three or not chlorine, were synthesized by the reaction between different quinones (p-chloranil (1), p-toluquinone (2), or 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (3)) and (-)-cis-myrtanylamine (5) via nucleophilic reactions. Moreover, 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (4) was reacted with 2-(methylthio)ethylamine (11) to produce amino-substituted naphthoquinones (12 and 13), bearing with bromine and not bromine. In addition, 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (4) was reacted with 4′-aminodibenzo-18-crown-6 (14) and 4′-aminobenzo-18-crown-6 (16) to yield crown-containing 1,4-naphthoquinones (15 and 17), respectively. New compounds were characterized, providing ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FTIR, MS-ESI, UV/Vis and elemental analysis.     

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.     

Complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignment of cis- and trans- 3-(2-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethenyl]phenyl])sydnones

1H and 13C NMR spectra of cis- and trans-3-(2-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethenyl]phenyl])sydnones, the first stilbene-substituted mezoionic oxadiazolium rings, were fully assigned combining the information in various solvents, such as deuterated benzene, acetone and chloroform, using 2D NMR techniques.     

Complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR data for two 3beta,8beta-epoxymexicanolides from the fruit of a Chinese mangrove Xylocarpus granatum

Three 3beta,8beta-epoxymexicanolides, including xyloccensin K, 6-acetoxycedrodorin and a new one named xyloccensin W, were isolated from the fruit of a Chinese mangrove Xylocarpus granatum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. The first complete assignment of (1)H and (13)C NMR data for xyloccensin W was achieved by means of 2D NMR techniques, including (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY spectra. In addition, the confusion of (1)H and (13)C NMR data previously reported for xyloccensin K was clarified.     

Structure elucidation of a novel group of dithiocarbamate derivatives using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy

Compounds 1-7 form a novel group of dithiocarbamates, first synthesized from the reaction of a series of primary amines with carbon disulfide and 3-bromo ethyl pyruvate in the presence of anhydrous potassium phosphate. Structure elucidation of this group of compounds was accomplished using extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies, including (1)H, (13)C, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and gHMBC experiments. The distinction between the linear structures I, II and the cyclic structure III was made mainly on the basis of the analysis of the cross peak between H-2 and H-4a in the COSY spectra, in combination with the long-range correlation between H-2 and C-4, 6 in the gHMBC spectra.     

Dynamic NMR and ab initio studies of exchange between rotamers of derivatives of octahydrofuro[3,4-f]isoquinoline-7(1H)-carboxylate and tetrahydro-2,5,6(1H)-isoquinolinetricarboxylate

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of methyl-8-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxo-3,3a,4,6,8,9,9a,9b-octahydrofuro[3,4-f]isoquinoline-7(1H)-carboxylate (1) and trimethyl 8-methyl-3-phenyl-3,4,4a,7-tetrahydro-2,5,6(1H)-isoquinolinetricarboxylate (2) at room temperature displayed doubling of the majority of signals, suggesting the presence of two rotational conformers (rotamers) in a ratio approximately 1:1.2 (in a mixture of CDCl3 and C6D6), approximately 1:1 (in CD2Cl2) and approximately 1:1.4 (in C6D6). On the basis of the temperature-dependent 1H NMR spectra of 1 and 2, the barrier to interconversion of the rotamers was calculated to be approximately 16 kcal mol(-1). The average chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants were analyzed for the resolution-enhanced 300 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of 1 at 333 K in CDCl3 solution. From analysis of the spin-spin coupling constants, it is proposed that the nitrogen-containing ring is in a chair conformation with C-2-H equatorial. Low- and room-temperature NOESY experiments in conjunction with theoretical ab initio calculations supported the hypothesis that the two rotamers interchange via rotation about the C-N bond. Spectral assignments of all proton and carbon resonances were made on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments (DEPT, DQCOSY, NOESY, HETCOR and gHMBC).     

Synthesis of 5-(5-amino-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-2-dimethylaminothiazoles and their properties

In the reaction of 2-dimethylamino-5-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)thiazole with primary and secondary amines, the chlorine atom at the 5-position of the benzoquinone ring is substituted, according to the ¹³C NMR spectroscopy data, by an amino group. The chemical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of 5-(5-amino-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-2-dimethylaminothiazoles were revealed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 410–415, March, 1991.     

Structure elucidation and NMR assignments for two amide alkaloids from a Mangrove endophytic Fungus (No. ZZF-22)

The structure elucidations and complete (1)H and (13)C NMR assignments are reported for two new natural products: 3-benzylidene-8,8a-dihydroxy-2-methyl-hexahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione(1) and 4-hydroxy-6-(hydroxy-phenyl-methyl)-N-(3-methyl-butyryl)-nicotinamide (2). Both of these secondary metabolites were isolated from the fermentation medium of a Mangrove endophytic fungus. High resolution electron impact mass spectrometry (HREIMS), FT-IR Spectroscopy and NMR experiments including gCOSY, gHMQC, gHMBC and NOE were used for determination of the structures and assignments of the amide alkaloids.     

Indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants in 1,2-diboretane-3-ylidene, a homoaromatic system with pi and sigma 3c/2e bonds. Comparison of experimental data with calculations using density functional theory (DFT)

The non-classical 1,2-diboretane-3-ylidene 1a was studied by 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy in order to obtain coupling constants 1J(13C,11B) and 1J(29Si,13C). The magnitudes of 1J(13C,11B) were deduced from linewidth measurements in low-temperature 13C and 11B NMR spectra. Calculation of the coupling constants for model compounds related to 1a, using DFT methods based on optimized geometries [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)], gave data in agreement with the experiments. Furthermore, the calculations predict for the first time a negative sign of 1J(13C,11B) which mirrors the bonding situation in 1 as described by theory.     

Acid-promoted reactions of ethyl linoleate with nitrite ions: formation and structural characterization of isomeric nitroalkene, nitrohydroxy, and novel 3-nitro-1,5-hexadiene and 1,5-dinitro-1, 3-pentadiene products

The reaction of ethyl linoleate (1) with NO(2)(-) in different air-equilibrated acidic media resulted in the formation of complex patterns of products, some of which could be isolated by repeated TLC fractionation and were formulated as the nitroalkenes 2-5, the novel (1E, 5Z)-3-nitro-1,5-hexadienes 6/7, the novel (E,E)-1, 5-dinitro-1,3-pentadiene derivatives 8 and 9, and the nitro alcohols 10/11 and 12/13 by extensive GC-MS and 2D NMR analysis, as aided by 1D Hartmann-Hahn proton mapping experiments. Similar reaction of methyl oleate gave mainly nitroalkene (14/15) and allylic nitro derivatives (16/17). Formation of 2-13 may be envisaged in terms of HNO(2)-mediated nitration pathways in which regioisomeric beta-nitroalkyl radical intermediates derived from attack of NO(2) to the 1,4-pentadiene moiety of 1 evolve through competitive H-atom abstraction and free radical combination routes.     

An anomalous course of the reduction of 2-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)benzene diazonium salt: a reinvestigation

The 1H,13C and 15N NMR spectra of the reduction product of 2-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)benzene diazonium salt with sodium sulfite were measured and analysed. It is shown that the reaction product corresponds to 1-(indazol-3-yl)-1,2-dihydro-benzimidazol-2-on and not 6H-quinoxalino[1,2-c] [1,2,3]benzotriazin-12(13H)-one as published previously. The correctness of the structure was confirmed by an independent synthesis. The observed 15N chemical shifts were compared with the predicted ones using the ACD/NNMR 9.01 program.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for seven arylnaphthalide lignans from Justicia procumbens

Three new arylnaphthalide lignans named 6'-hydroxy justicidin A (1), 6'-hydroxy justicidin B (2) and 6'-hydroxy justicidin C (3) have been isolated from the whole plant of Justicia procumbens, together with four known ones, neojusticin A (4), chinensinaphthol methyl ester (5), isodiphyllin (6) and taiwanin C (7). The complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for the new lignans and the 13C NMR chemical shifts for the known lignans were obtained for the first time by means of 2D NMR techniques, including HSQC and HMBC.     

Structural assignment of regioisomeric 3-[2- or 5-anilino-2-(alkylamino)phenyl]propanoic acids, 2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones and 2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-ones by 1D NOE and gHMBC NMR techniques

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of compounds 1-11 and 16-22 in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 solutions allowed structural assignment to regioisomers 1/5 and 2/6 and their regioselective cyclization products 16-18 utilizing one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques (APT, DEPT, NOE difference, COSY, NOESY, HETCOR and gHMQC, gHMBC). Temperature-dependent 1H NMR spectra of 8-anilino-5-(4-methyl-2-pentyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-one (18) indicated a free energy of activation (deltaG++) of ca 17 kcal mol(-1) for interconversion between rotamers. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 20 and 22 containing two chiral centers exhibit duplication of several signals, indicating the existence of two diastereomeric forms. The structure of 4 was unambiguously confirmed by x-ray crystallography.     

Studies on the Electronic Structures and Spectra of C78（CH2）3

The structures and spectra of 20 possible isomers of C78(CH2)3 have been studied by using AM1,INDO/CIS and DFT methods. The results show that the most stable isomer is 1,2,3,4,5,6-C78(CH2)3 (A) with annulene structures,where three -CH2 groups are added to the 6/6 bonds located at the same hexagon passed by the shortest axis of C78 (C2v). Compared with that of C78 (C2v),the first absorption in the electronic spectrum of C78(CH2)3 (A) is blue-shifted because of its wider LUMO-HOMO energy gap. While the IR frequencies of the C–C bonds on the carbon cage are red-shifted owing to the formation of annulene structures and the extension of the conjugated system. The chemical shifts of the carbon atoms in 13C NMR spectra are moved upfield upon the addition.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignment of androstane derivatives

(1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopic data for 5alpha-androstanes and halo-5alpha-androstanes with different substituents at positions C-3, C-9, C-11 and C-17 were examined and assigned by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The substituent effects on the (13)C chemical shifts were compared with those of epi-androsterone, used as a reference compound. The coupling constants (n)J((19)F,(13)C) were measured for compounds 6, 8, 11 and 14.     

Conformational equilibria of trans -3-X-cyclohexanols (X = Cl, Br, CH3 and OCH3). A low temperature NMR study and theoretical calculations

The integration of 1H and 13C NMR spectra, at - 90 degrees C in CS2/CD2Cl2 (9:1), for the trans-3-chlorocyclohexanol (1), trans-3-bromocyclohexanol (2), and trans-3-methoxycyclohexanol (4) showed that the equatorial-axial (ea) conformer occurs as ca 63, 63, and 69% in the conformational equilibrium, respectively. This corresponds to the following DeltaG(ea-ae) values (from (1)H spectrum): - 0.32 +/- 0.01, - 0.32 +/- 0.04, - 0.48 +/- 0.05 kcal mol(-1); and to (from 13C spectrum): - 0.31 +/- 0.04, - 0.35 +/- 0.05, and - 0.44 +/- 0.01 kcal mol(-1), respectively, in very good agreement within both series. Thus, although bromine is bulkier than chlorine, the 1,3-diaxial steric effects are similar in these equilibria. However, the integration of (1)H NMR spectrum for the trans-3-methylcyclohexanol (3) gave 90% of the 3ae conformer in the equilibrium, at - 90 degrees C on CS2/CD2Cl2 (9:1), corresponding to a DeltaG(ea-ae) value of 1.31 +/- 0.02 kcal mol(-1). The values obtained through the additivity rule, with data from monosubstituted cyclohexanes (DeltaG(Ad) = DeltaG(X) + DeltaG(OH)), for compounds 1, 2, and 4 (-0.37 +/- 0.15, - 0.34 +/- 0.09, and - 0.46 +/- 0.04 kcal mol(-1), respectively) are in very good agreement with the experimental values, but it is significantly smaller for compound 3 (0.79 +/- 0.02 kcal mol(-1)). Theoretical calculations through different levels of theory (HF/6-311 + g**, B3LYP/6-311 + g**, MP2/6-31 + g**, and CBS-4M) showed that CBS-4M is the best method for the study of conformational equilibria for these systems, since it provides DeltaG(ea-ae) values similar to the experimental values.     

Experimental and theoretical NMR study of selected oxocarboxylic acid oximes

1H and 13C NMR spectra of the oxocarboxylic acid oximes 2-hydroxyiminopropanoic acid (1), 2-(4-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2-(hydroxyimino)acetic acid (2) and 2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)acetic acid (3) were measured in DMSO-d6, D2O and acetone-d6 solutions. The data indicate the presence of hydrogen bonding in 1 and 2 and a strong electron-withdrawing effect due to the cyano group in 3. The effect of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the hydrogen and carbon chemical shifts in these molecules was studied theoretically. Total energy calculations of the stability of various hydrogen-bonded species, in addition to equilibrium parameters and chemical shifts, were calculated using ab initio methods (RHF, MP2) and density functional theory (B3LYP), implemented in the Gaussian 98 software package. The gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) method was used to predict magnetic shielding constants. Chemical shift calculations for the most stable species agree fairly well with the observed data, especially for the hydroxyl protons. Substituents adjacent to the alpha-carbon show some influence of the oximic and carboxyl groups on the 13C chemical shifts, as expected for groups with different polar and anisotropic character.
