NMR Studies of Hindered Rotation. The Diels-Alder Adduct of 4-Methyl-1, 2, 4-triazoline-3, 5-dione with Phencyclone: Restricted Motion of Unsubstituted Bridgehead Phenyls.

4-Methyl-1, 2, 4-triazoline-3, 5-dione was produced by lead tetraacetate oxidation of 4-methylurazole and allowed to react with phencyclone, 1-The resulting Diels-Alder adduct, 2, has been characterized by one-and two-dimensional ¹H and ¹³C NMR at 300 and 75 MHz, respectively, at ambient temperatures in different solvents. The NMR data are consistent with hindered rotation of the bridgehead unsubstituted phenyl groups about the C(sp²)-C(sp³) bonds, based on numbers of absorption signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR aryl region, together with magnetic anisotropic effects in the ¹H spectrum. The spectral simplicity suggests further that stereochemistry at the ring junction nitrogens involves only a single isomer or very rapidly interconverting “exo”/“endo” isomers (if the ring junction nitrogens are pyramidalized).     

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

The Diels-Alder adduct of phencyclone and N-n-propylmaleimide has been studied in CDCl₃ solution at ambient temperatures by one-and two-dimensional ¹H NMR (300 MHz) and ¹³C NMR (75 MHz) techniques. Clear evidence is presented from slow exchange limit (SEL) spectra for hindered rotation of the bridgehead phenyls in the adduct. Full ¹H spectral assignments have been made via selective homonuclear decoupling and high resolution COSY experiments. The number of signals in the aryl region of ¹³C NMR spectra also indicated slow rotation about the C(sp²)-C(sp³) bond to the unsubstantiated bridgehead phenyls. Striking evidence of magnetic anisotropic effects, seen from ¹H NMR, permits stereochemical assignment of the adduct as endo.     

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.     

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.     

1H and 13C NMR Spectra of Alditolyl Derivatives of 3-Hydrazino-5-Methyl[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole and Their Cyclized Products.

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of sugar (5-methyl [1, 2, 4]-triazino [5, 6-b] indol-3-yl) hydrazones (1), per-0-acetyl aldehydo sugar 1-acetyl-1-(5-methyl [1, 2, 4] triazino [5, 6-b]-indol-3-yl) hydrazones (2), l- (penta-0-acetyl-pentitol-1-yl)-10-methyl [l, 2, 4] triazolo [3′, 4′:3, 4] [l, 2, 4] triazino [5, 6-b]-indoles (3) have been investigated.

Studies of Hindered Rotation and Magnetic Anisotropy by 1H, 13C and 19F NMR. The Diels-Alder Adduct of N- Pentafluorophenylmaleimide and Phencyclone: A Model for Drugs.

The potent Diels-Alder diene, phencyclone, 1, reacts with N-pentafluorophenylmaleimide, 2, to form an adduct, 3, characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁹F NMR at 300, 75 and 282 MHz, respectively. The one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 3 at ambient temperatures imply a slow exchange limit (SEL) regime with respect to rotation of the unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl groups about severely hindered C(sp²)-C(sp³) bonds. Major non-bonded interactions are expected between the ortho protons of the C₆H₅ groups and H-1, 8 of the phenanthrenoid moiety of 3. ¹⁹F 1D and 2D (COSY) NMR spectra show that the SEL regime also obtains for rotation about the N-C₆F₅ bond of 3, with five separate fluorine signals seen, consistent with a preferred conformation in which the C₆F₅ may lie roughly perpendicular to the plane of the pyrrolidinedione moiety, and may be in the mirror symmetry plane of 3. The results are considered relevant to hindered aryl rotations in numerous Pharmaceuticals. Selected spectral data for 2 and precursors are also presented.     

NMR Studies of Crowded Diels–Alder Adducts of Phencyclone with N‐(2,6‐Dialkylphenyl)maleimides. Hindered Rotations and Magnetic Anisotropy

Abstract

Phencyclone, 1, reacted with N‐(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)maleimide, 2a; with N‐(2,6‐diethylphenyl)maleimide, 2b; and with N‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)maleimide, 2c, respectively, to yield the corresponding Diels–Alder adducts, 3a–c. The adducts were extensively characterized by NMR (7 T) at ambient temperatures using one‐ and two‐dimensional (1D and 2D) proton and carbon‐13 techniques for assignments. Slow exchange limit (SEL) spectra were observed, demonstrating slow rotations on the NMR timescales, for the unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl groups [C(sp³)–C(aryl sp²) bond rotations] and for the 2,6‐dialkylphenyl groups [N(sp²)–C(aryl sp²) bond rotations]. Substantial magnetic anisotropic shifts were seen in the adducts. For example, in the N‐(2,6‐dialkylphenyl) moieties of the adducts, one of the alkyl groups is directed “into” the adduct cavity, toward the phenanthrenoid portion, and these “inner” alkyl proton NMR signals were shifted upfield. Thus, in CDCl₃, the “inner” methyl of adduct 3a exhibits a proton resonance at ?0.13 ppm, upfield of tetramethylsilane (TMS); the “inner” ethyl group signals from 3b appear at 0.026 ppm (CH₂, quartet), and ?0.21 ppm (CH₃, triplet); and the “inner” isopropyl group from 3c is seen at ?0.06 ppm (methine, approx. septet) and ?0.39 ppm (CH₃, doublet). Proton NMR of the crude N‐(2,6‐dialkylphenyl)maleamic acids (used as precursors of the maleimides, 2a–c) exhibited two sets of AB quartet signals, suggesting possible conformers from hindered rotation in the amide groups about the HN–C?O bonds.     

NMR Studies of Hindered Rotation. The Diels-Alder Adduct of Phencyclone with p-Benzoquinone: Restricted Motion of Bridgehead Phenyls

The Diels-Alder adduct of phencyclone with p-benzoquinone has been examined by ¹H NMR at 300 MHz in CDCl₃ at ambient temperatures for evidence of hindered rotation of the unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl groups. The nearly first-order spectrum exhibits four approximate doublets and five approximate triplets in the aromatic region, of roughly equal intensity (ca. 2H). This is consistent with a slow-exchange limit (SEL) spectrum of the hindered phenyls. For rapidly rotating phenyls, the predicted fast-exchange limit (FEL) spectrum would have shown two 2H doublets and one 4H doublet, in addition to three 2H triplets and one 4H triplet, in the aryl region. Full ¹H assignments have been made, based on the two-dimensional ¹H-¹H homonuclear chemical shift correlation spectrum (COSY) and expected magnetic anisotropy effects.     

Assignment of 13C Resonances in the Phencyclone-Norbornadiene Adduct Via 2D NMR. 13C Evidence for Hindered Rotation of Unsubstituted Bridgehead Phenyl Rings

¹³C NMR chemical shift assignments were obtained for the Diels-Alder adduct of phencyclone with norbornadiene in CD₂Cl₂ and in CDCl₃ solution. The ¹³C spectrum at 50.3 MHz, as well as the ¹H spectrum at 200.1 MHz, show evidence for hindered rotation of the two unsubstituted bridgehead phenyl rings of the adduct at ambient temperatures. In CD₂Cl₂ solution, all 19 of the unique ¹³C nuclei of this molecule give rise to individual ¹³C resonances. The ¹H assignments which were made earlier, together with one-bond and long-range 2D heteronuclear correlation experiments, allowed the assignment of all ¹³C chemical shifts in the molecule.     

NMR Studies of Drugs. Applications of Lanthanide Shift Reagents to Afloqualone,an Axially Chiral Quinazolinone.

The skeletal muscle relaxant, aflogualone, 1, has been studied by ¹H NMR in CDC1₃ at 60 and 300 MHz in the presence of added chiral [Eu(HFC)₃] or achiral [Eu(FOD)₃] lanthanide shift reagents (LSR). With Eu(HFC)₃, significant enantiomeric shift differences, ΔΔδ, can be induced for most of the nuclei of 1, with near-baseline resolution obtainable for the H-5 signals of each enantiomer, indicating excellent analytical potential for direct determination of enantiomeric excess of samples of 1. Observation of ΔΔδ directly confirms hindered rotation about the bond between N (3) and the 2-methylphenyl group, i.e., the N (sp²) - C(sp²) bond, leading to axial chirality in 1 with slow rotation on the NMR timescale. Assignments are supported by 2D COSY spectra at 300 MHz. Relative lanthanide-induced shift magnitudes for the protons of 1 are compared.     

3D 1H-13C-14N correlation solid-state NMR spectrum

Nitrogen-14 (spin I = 1) has always been a nucleus difficult to observe in solid-state NMR and until recently its observation was restricted to one-dimensional (1D) spectra. We present here the first 3D ¹H–¹³C–¹⁴N NMR correlation spectrum. This spectrum was acquired on a test sample l-histidine·HCl·H₂O using a recently developed technique, which consists in indirectly observing ¹⁴N nuclei via dipolar recoupling with an HMQC-type experiment.

¹³C NMR and 2D (H,H and H,C COSY) spectra of selected examples of sugar (5H-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]-indol-3-yl) hydrazones, peracetylated sugar-1-acetyl -1- (5-acetyl-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-yl)hydrazones, and 10-acetyl-3-(per-0-acetylalditol-1-yl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4′, 3′:2,3][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole have been reported. The conformation of the latter C-nucleoside analogues have been determined by analysis of their ¹H NMR spectra. The D-galacto, D-manno and L-arabino isomers are preponderantly existing in the planar zigzag arrangement of carbon atoms.     

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.

Isotope Effects by Comparing 1H‐ and 2D‐NMR Spectra of 9,9′‐Bisbicyclo[4.3.0]‐cyclonona‐2,4,7‐triene

Abstract

Inverse secondary kinetic isotope effects are determined for the dimerization of all‐cis‐cyclononatetraenyl radical, 1, to its corresponding dimer, all‐cis‐9,9′‐bicyclonona‐1,3,5,7‐tetraene, 2, (step 1, k _H/k _D=0.5), and cyclization of the latter to 9,9′‐bisbicyclo[4.3.0]cyclonona‐2,4,7‐triene, 3 (step 2, k _H/k _D=0.75). These results are obtained by comparison of ¹H‐ and ²D‐NMR spectra of 3 and employment of a simple statistical method for acquiring kinetic data. This new strategy appears superior to conventional methods in being fast, simple, and less expensive.

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).     

3D NMR Experiments for MeasuringN Relaxation Data of Large Proteins: Application to the 44 kDa Ectodomain of SIV gp41

A suite of 3D NMR experiments for measuring¹⁵N–{¹H} NOE,¹⁵NT₁, and¹⁵NT_1ρvalues in large proteins, uniformly labeled with¹⁵N and¹³C, is presented. These experiments are designed for proteins that exhibit extensive spectral overlap in the 2D¹H–¹⁵N HSQC spectrum. The pulse sequences are readily applicable to perdeuterated samples, which increases the spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, thereby permitting the characterization of protein dynamics to be extended to larger protein systems. Application of the pulse sequences is demonstrated on a perdeuterated¹³C/¹⁵N-labeled sample of the 44 kDa ectodomain of SIV gp41.
