1H and 13C NMR Spectral Study of Some 2r-Aryl-6c-phenylthian-4-ones,Their 1-Oxides and 1,1-Dioxides

ABSTRACT

Four 2r-aryl-6c-phenylthian-4-ones 1b?1e and their 1-oxides 2b?2e and 1,1-dioxides 3b?3e have been newly synthesized. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra have been recorded for all these compounds and 2r,6c-diphenylthian-4-one 1-oxide 2a. ¹³C NMR spectrum has been recorded for the sulfone 3a of 1a. For selected compounds ¹H-¹H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY spectra have been recorded. The vicinal proton–proton coupling constants suggest that in all these compounds, the heterocyclic ring adopts chair conformation with equatorial orientations of the aryl and phenyl groups. Proton and carbon chemical shifts suggest that in the sulfoxides, the S=O bond is axial and enhances the J _aa value by some special effect. The S = O bond causes a significant upfield shift even on carbons without hydrogens. Significant solvent shifts also were observed.     

Structural Assignment of Stilbenethiols and Chalconethiols and Differentiation of Their Isomeric Derivatives by Means of 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectra of some substituted stilbenes and chalcones were assigned unambiguously on the basis of a combination of homo‐ (COSY) and heteronuclear (HETCOR) two‐dimensional methods, the chemical shifts, as well as spin‐coupling constants. The A_ik empirical parameters of the –O–C(S)–N(CH₃)₂, –S–C(O)–N(CH₃)₂, and –SH group were calculated to help predict the chemical shifts of substituted stilbenes, 4′‐nitrostilbenes, and chalcones. The ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectra have been shown to be able to differentiate between the isomers of O‐stilbenyl (4, 5) and S‐stilbenyl N,N‐dimethylthiocarbamates (7, 8) as well as O‐chalconyl (6) and S‐chalconyl N,N‐dimethylthiocarbamates (9).     

13C NMR Chemical Shift of β-Alkoxyvinylketones: II. Empirical Substituent Effects in β-Aryl-β-Methoxyvinyltrihalomethylketones

Evaluation by empirically derived equations for the substituent effect (α,β,γ,δ) on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for C-1, C-2, C-3 and C-4 in β-aryl-β-methoxyvinylhalomethylketones 1a-g to 2a-g [R³C(O)-CH=C(Ar)-OMe, where R³ = CCl₃, CF₃ and Ar = p-YC₆H₄ (Y = H, Me, MeO, F, Cl, Br, NO₂)], taking as reference the β-ethoxyvinyltrichloromethylketone (3), is reported. From the calculated values for the α,β,γ,δ effects for each substituent it was possible to estimate the chemical shift of each carbon of the compounds 1,2. The ¹³C chemical shifts of the C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 of these compounds, can be estimated with good to rasoable precision: 84% of the calculated chemical shifts are found to be within ±1.0ppm, and 100% are found to be within ±1.5ppm. The Y-Effects on C-3 and C-4 are compared with carbon charge densities (qr).     

TOTAL ASSIGNMENT OF 1H AND 13C NMR SPECTRA OF A BRIDGED TRIRUTHENIUM CLUSTER-POLYPYRIDINE DIMER BASED ON 2D (COSY,HMQC, AND HMBC) TECHNIQUES

The bridged ruthenium cluster-polypyridine dimer [Ru₃O(CH₃COO)₆(py)₂(tmbpy)Ru(bpy)₂(Cl)](PF₆)₂ (py = pyridine, = 2, 2′-bipyridine and tmbpy = 4, 4′-trimethylenedipyridine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized based on ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. This species exhibits a complex pattern of NMR signals due to the presence of a paramagnetic [Ru₃O] core and seven non-equivalent aromatic rings. 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC and HMBC) correlation techniques have been required for the total assignment of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra.     

NMR Studies of Hindered Rotation and Magnetic Anisotropy: The Diels–Alder Adducts of Phencyclone with N‐Phenylmaleimide and N‐(2‐Trifluoromethylphenyl)maleimide. Ab Initio Calculations for Optimized Structures

Abstract

N‐Phenylmaleimide, 2, and N‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl)maleimide, 3, were separately added to phencyclone, 1, to yield the corresponding phencyclone Diels–Alder adducts, 4 and 5. The resulting adducts (and some precursors) have been characterized by one‐ and two‐dimensional ¹H and ¹³C NMR at 300 and 75 MHz, and by ¹⁹F NMR at 282 MHz, at ambient temperatures. The NMR data are consistent, for both adducts, with: (a) hindered rotation of the bridgehead unsubstituted phenyl groups about the C(sp²)–C(sp³) bonds, based on slow exchange limit (SEL) spectra and (b) endo adduct configuration based on magnetic anisotropic effects in the ¹H NMR. The NMR spectra of the phencyclone adduct, 4, of N‐phenylmaleimide, indicate free rotation on the NMR timescales (fast exchange limit, FEL spectra) about the N‐phenyl bond. The spectra for the adduct, 5, of N‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl)maleimide are interpreted as consistent with SEL regimes, for the N‐aryl rotations, with a single rotamer present in which the trifluoromethyl group is directed “out of” the adduct cavity, and away from the phenanthrenoid moiety. This conclusion is based, in part, on NMR data suggesting the apparent slow N‐aryl bond rotation in a pair of atropisomers corresponding to the acetic acid addition products from the N‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl)maleimide. Evidence of magnetic anisotropic effects due to the phenanthrenoid moiety and proximal carbonyls is discussed. ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁹F assignments are presented and interpreted. Molecular modeling calculations at the Hartree–Fock level, 6‐31G* basis set, were performed to provide geometry optimizations for energy‐minimized structures of selected compounds.     

13C NMR Chemical Shifts of β-Alkoxyvinyl Ketones: III✠-Empirical Substituent Effects in 1-Alkylamino-6-Ethoxy-1,5-Hexadien-3,4-Diones and 1,6-bis(Alkylamino)-1,5-Hexadien-3,4-diones

Evaluation by empirically derived equations for the substituent effect (E_Xn and E_Yn, n = 1 to 6) on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5 and C-6 in 1-alkylamino-6-ethoxy-1,5-hexadien-3,4-diones 1a-f and 1,6-bis(alkylamino)-1,5-hexadien-3,4-diones 2a-f [XCH=CHC(O)-C(O)CH=CHY, where X, Y = OEt, NH₂, PhCH₂NH, n-BuNH, i-PrNH, cyclo-C₆H₁₁NH, t-BuNH], taking as reference the 1,6-diethoxy-1,5-hexadien-3,4-dione (3), is reported. From the calculated values for the E_Xn and E_Yn effects for each substituent it was possible to estimate the chemical shift of each carbon of the compounds 1,2 with excellent precision: 100% of the calculated chemical shifts are found to be within ±0.5ppm. The carbon-13 chemical shifts of C-1, C-2 and C-3 of compounds 1a,2a,3 led a good correlation with carbon charge densities (qr).     

Acyclic Analogues of Purine Nucleosedes: One- and Two-Dimensional 1H and 13C NMR Evidences for N-9 and N-7 Regioisomers

It has been established by means of one-and two-dimensional ¹H and ¹³C NMR Spectroscopy that adenine acyclonucleosides are substituted at either N-9 or N-7 with 2',3'-dihydroxyprop-1-yl (2 and 3) or 2'-hydroxyprop-1-yl (4 and 5) aliphatic chains. The N-3 isomer has not been formed, as claimed previously. This was deduced on the basis of chemical shifts, substituent induced chemical shifts, magnitude and multiplicity of C-H couplings as well as connectivities in 2D homo-and heteronuclear correlation spectra.     

Proton and Carbon - 13 NMR Assignments for Fluorinated and Nonfluorinated Aromatic Ketimines

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of three aromatic ketimines with varying degrees of fluoro substitution have been extensively studied using one and two dimensional techniques. COSY experiments were conducted to identify the protons on each of the aromatic groups, HETCORR experiments were then utilized to identify the corresponding carbon atoms, and then the order of the carbon atoms was established by long-range HETCORR (HRTCORRLR) results. These studies have allowed rigorous assignments to be made for most of the carbon and hydrogen atoms present in these compounds. Fluorine splittings were very helpful in the analyses. In the course of this study, the NMR absorbances (¹H and ¹³C) of related aldimines have also been assigned. This constitutes the first report on the assignments of ¹H and ¹³C absorbances for ketimines. The observed spectral properties suggest that the structure of aromatic ketimines is one in which the aromatic rings are in three different planes. Two of the aromatic rings, the N-substituted ring and the C-substituted ring in the cis configuration, are twisted substantially out of the plane with respect to the -C=N- bond. The remaining C-substituted aromatic ring, trans to the N-substituted ring, lies in the deshielding zone of the imine bond.

C-13 and H-1 NMR Assignments of the Chamigrenes Prepacifenol and Dehydroxyprepacifenol Epoxioes

A complete assignment of the signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra and the stereostructural analysis of the compounds prepacifenol epoxide and the new dehydroxyprepacifenol epoxide are presented. These compounds were extracted from the marine mollusc Aplysia dactylomela and represent the first occurrence of chamigrenes found in Brazilian waters. The NMR analyses are supported by NOE difference and COSY experiments and also by gradient selected HMBC, HSQC-TOCSY and HSQC-DE. ¹H spectra simulations were done for the final fitting of the chemical shifts and coupling constants.     

NMR Studies of Hindered Rotation. The Diels-Alder Adduct of N-n-Butylmaleimide With Phencyclone: Restricted Motion of Bridgehead Phenyls

The Diels-Alder adduct of phencyclone and N-n-butylmaleimide has been prepared, and NMR studies have been carried out in CDCl₃ solution at ambient temperatures by one-and two-dimensional ¹H NMR (300 MHz) and ¹³C NMR (75 MHz) techniques. The resulting spectra appear to be consistent with slow rotation about the hindered C(sp²)-C(sp³) bonds to the bridgehead unsubstituted phenyls, i.e., slow exchange limit (SEL) spectra. Full rigorous ¹H spectral assignments have been made via high-resolution COSY experiments. The number of signals in the ¹³C NMR aryl region were also consistent with hindered phenyl rotations; preliminary ¹³C assignments are given. Striking evidence for magnetic anisotropic effects due to the phenanthrene moiety, bridging ketone carbonyl, and bridgehead phenyls are discussed, supporting endo stereochemical assignment of the adduct.

Abstract

Evaluation by empirically derived equations for the Substituent effect (α, β, γ, δ) on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6, the halomethyl-substituted carbon (C-7) and the cyano or oxymic carbon (C-8) in 2-halomethyl-2-hydroxy-tetrahydrofurans 1a-c, 2, 3a, b, 4a and -5,6-tetrahydro-4H-pyrans 5a-c, 6a [with C-2-substituents (R²): CF₃, CCl₃ or CHCl₂, C-3-substituents (R³): CN, C(Me)=NOH, CH=NOMe, C(Me)=NOMe or CH=NOH], taking as reference the 2-trifluoromethyl-2-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran (la), is reported. From the additivity properties of the α-, β-, γ-, δ-and ?-effects for each Substituent it is possible to predict the chemical shift of each carbon of the compounds 1–6.

     

Structural Assignment of Isomeric S‐ and S,N‐1‐Alkoxycarbonylalkylated 6‐Amino‐2‐thiouracil Derivatives by Means of 1H and 13C NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The structures of new isomeric 2‐alkoxycarbonylalkylthio‐ and 2‐alkoxy‐ carbonylalkylthio‐1‐alkoxycarbonylalkyl‐6‐aminouracils (1–21) have been established on the basis of the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data. The ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1–21 have been fully assigned by a combination of two‐dimensional experiments [heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC) and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC)]. The ¹³C NMR spectra have been shown to be able to differentiate between isomers.

Assignment of the 1H and 13C Spectra of 5-Methylthio-4H-1-(p-R1-phenyl)-3a-(p-R2-phenyl)-3a,4-dihydro (1,2,4) oxadiazolo(4,5-a), 1,5-benzodiazepines using 2D NMR Spectroscopy.

The ¹H NMR spectra of the title benzodiazepines derivatives is highly congested because all the protons are in aromatic enviroment so many proton signals remain overlap even 300 MHz or higher fields. With this in mind, the assignment of the ¹H and ¹³C spectra of these compounds obtained using COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC experiments is reported.     

1H and 13C Nmr Determination of Polysubstituted Diphenylmethane Dimers Mechanism of Their Formation by Reduction of Polymethoxylated Benzophenones

Reduction of substituted benzophenones 1 with sodium borohydride and trifluoro-acetic acid yields diphenylmethanes 3 as well as dimers 5 and 6. the complete structure of these substituted diphenylmethane dimers 5 may be accurately determined by ¹H, ¹³C, 2D NMR analysis, and a mechanism for their formation is suggested.     

A C solid-state NMR analysis of vitamin D compounds

¹³C cross-polarization/magic-angle spinning (CP/MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy has been employed to analyze four vitamin D compounds, namely vitamin D3 (D3), vitamin D2 (D2), and the precursors ergosterol (Erg) and 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC). The ¹³C NMR spectrum of D3 displays a doublet pattern for each of the carbon atoms, while that of Erg contains both singlet and doublet patterns. In the cases of 7DHC and D2, the ¹³C spectra display various multiplet patterns, viz. singlets, doublets, triplets, and quartets. To overcome the signal overlap between the ¹³C resonances of protonated and unprotonated carbons, we have subjected these vitamin D compounds to 1D ¹H-filtered ¹³C CP/MAS and {¹H}/¹³C heteronuclear correlation (Hetcor) NMR experiments. As a result, assisted by solution NMR data, all of the ¹³C resonances have been successfully assigned to the respective carbon atoms of these vitamin D compounds. The ¹³C multiplets are interpreted due to the presence of s-cis and s-trans configurations in the α- and β-molecular conformers, consistent with computer molecular modeling determined by molecular dynamics and energy minimization calculations. To further characterize the ring conformations in D3, we have successfully extracted chemical shift tensor elements for the ¹³C doublets. It is demonstrated that ¹³C solid-state NMR spectroscopy provides a robust and high sensitive means of characterizing molecular conformations in vitamin D compounds.

The ¹H NMR spectra of the title benzodiazepines derivatives is highly congested because all the protons are in aromatic environment so many proton signals remain overlap even 300 MHz or higher fields. With this in mind, the assignment of the ¹H and ¹³C spectra of these compounds obtained using COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC experiments is reported.
