13C NMR study of ortho-, meta- and para- substituted phenyldiphenylamines: Substituent effect correlations

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 11 substituted triphenylamines have been determined and the assignment of these resonances made using intensities, ¹H and ¹⁹F couplings and predictions from bond additivity relationships. ¹³C chemical shifts at carbons bearing the substituent and at carbons ortho to the substituent correlated reasonably well with the Q parameter. A multiple regression analysis of chemical shifts with the field and resonance parameters of Swain and Lupton and the Q parameter produced significantly better correlations than those obtained when Q was omitted for these positions. ¹³C chemical shift correlations for carbons meta and para to the substituent were not significantly better than when Q was omitted. Significant correlations were obtained between field and resonance parameters and ¹³C chemical shifts of C-o and C-p, and C-i, C-o, C-m and C-p of the non-substituent bearing phenyl rings in ortho- and para-substituted phenyldiphenylamines, respectively.     

13C NMR spectra of alkyl- and phenylpyrazines and their N-oxides

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 37 pyrazines, including their N-oxides, are reported. Substituent effects of methyl, phenyl and N-oxide groups on the chemical shifts were examined. To comprehend these effects, the chemical shifts were compared with charge densities calculated by the CNDO/2 method and a good correlation was obtained. ¹³C, ¹H coupling constants of some pyrazines were also determined and assigned. These data enable us to assign the ¹³C NMR spectra of substituted pyrazines and to understand the effects of N-oxidation on the pyrazine nuclei.     

Chemistry of the phenoxathiins and isosterically related heterocycles. IX.N-oxidation on the 13C-nmr chemical shifts and coupling constants of the 1-azaphenoxathiin system

The synthesis of 1-azaphenoxathiin N-oxide is described. Total assignment of the ¹³C-nmr spectrum and the effects of the N-oxide moiety on the chemical shifts and ¹H-¹³C spin couplings constants are described and compared to the parent 1-azaphenoxathiin system. The potential for the use of N-oxidation induced changes in ¹³C-nmr chemical shifts and ¹H-¹³C coupling constants as an assignment criterion is also discussed.     

A carbon-13 NMR study of the ion pair structure of the dibenzo[b,f]pentalene dianion

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of dibenzo[b, f]pentalene and its 5,10-dimethyl derivative are presented and compared with those of the corresponding dilithium dianions. As probed by the relative ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, the charge distribution within the dianion system is clearly dependent on the actual ion pair state. This condition is demonstrated by varying the solvent and temperature. The polarization of charge towards the pentalene carbons, i.e. the preferred cation positions, is observed on going to tight ion pair conditions. Further support for this model is gained from ⁷Li NMR. The limitations of the use of ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts to measure charge distributions within anion systems are discussed.     

Temperature dependence of the carbon-13 chemical shifts of paraffinic hydrocarbons

A study of several linear and branched alkanes indicates that the temperature dependence of ¹³C chemical shifts is a complex phenomenon in which several non-additive effects may be operative. The chemical shift temperature coefficients dδ/dT do, however, reveal some systematic trends which could be helpful in the assignments of ¹³C resonances. An empirical equation is proposed (akin to that of Grant and Paul for ¹³C chemical shifts) which accurately correlates all the data obtained near ambient temperatures.     

13C-NMR-spektroskopische und stereochemische Untersuchungen: XI—Konformationen von Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanen und ihre Unterscheidbarkeit durch lanthanideninduzierte Verschiebungen

The ¹³C chemical shifts of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and of the corresponding 9-hydroxy- and 9-oxo- derivatives are compared with chemical shifts calculated on the basis of stereospecific shift increments. These results as well as the ¹H n.m.r. spectrum of the ketone indicate a predominant chair-chair conformation CC. A low temperature ¹³C n.m.r. study as well as an analysis of the temperature dependence of ¹³C chemical shifts in bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane furnish a limit for the free energy difference between CC and BC conformations of ΔG ≧ 5,85 kJ mol^?1. The distinction between CC, BC and BB provides a test for the applicability of lanthanide-induced ¹H and ¹³C shifts for the assignment of flexible geometries. The typical occurrence of several and/or flat minima in the LIS geometry analysis allows only the exclusion of boat–boat conformations.     

QSAR studies of phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives based on the 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts

The quantitative structure–activity relationship models of 40 phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives were established between the ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and the antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia cerealis, and Colletotrichum capsici. The models were validated by R, R², R_A², variance inflation factor, F, and P values testing and residual analysis. It was concluded from the models that the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of C8, C10, C7, and the ¹H NMR chemical shifts of Ha contributed positively to the activity against Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum capsici, and Rhizoctonia cerealis, respectively. The models indicated that decreasing the election cloud density of specific nucleuses in compounds, for example, by the substituting of electron withdrawing groups, would improve the antifungal activity. These models demonstrated the practical application meaning of chemical shifts in the quantitative structure–activity relationship study. Furthermore, a practical guide was provided for further structural optimization of the antifungal phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives based on the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: VIII—aliphatic hydrocarbon derivatives

Carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts of several series of aliphatic hydrocarbon derivatives–-substituted methanes, ethanes, isopropanes, n-propanes and n-butanes–-were found to have a linear relationship with σ-electron densities (Q^σ) calculated by the method of σ-included ω-HMO. A plot of the ¹³C NMR chemical shift of a given carbon in a substituted propane versus that of the corresponding carbon in a substituted butane showed a good linearity with a slope of unity. The values of the ¹³C chemical shifts of the n-butyl derivatives converged rapidly to a constant value as the distance from the substituent increased. Accordingly, the value for the δ-carbon was found to be constant regardless of the substituent. These results show that the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of aliphatic hydrocarbon derivatives are mainly dependent on inductive effects. The convergence shown by the experimental results is supported by the calculated results of the Q^σ values of the n-butyl derivatives.     

13C, 77Se and 125Te NMR in ortho-halogenated seleno- and telluro-phenetoles

⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te chemical shifts have been measured for o-halogenated seleno- and telluro-phenetoles. Correlations exist between these parameters and the halogen electronegativities or the ¹³C chemical shifts, except for the fluorine derivatives. The chalcogen shifts are related to the shifts of various nuclei in halobenzene derivatives, namely ¹H in benzenes, ¹³C in toluenes, ¹⁵N in anilines and ¹⁹F in fluorobenzenes. ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te chemical shifts are correlated in the o-halogenated seleno- and telluro-phenetoles and in chalcogen analogues of o-methoxy-selenoanisole and -tellurophenetole: Δδ(Te) = 1.60Δδ(Se). The observed gradient is close to values previously reported for other selenides and tellurides, but differs from the value observed in heterocycles. This observation is discussed.     

Electronic and steric effects in arylphosphoramidates and phosphorimidates as monitored by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance

¹³C NMR chemical shifts and ¹³C? ³¹P couplings are reported for ten arylphosphoramidates and five arylphoshorimidates. The para-carbon chemical shifts in the phosphoramidates are interpreted in terms of substantial nitrogen lone pair delocalization into the aromatic ring, a phenomenon which is subject to steric inhibition of resonance. By contrast, in the phosphorimidates the electron release into the phenyl ring is not attenuated by steric congestion. Conformational changes about the aryl? N bond in all compounds have been monitored by vicinal ³¹P? N? C? ¹³C couplings.     

X-ray photoelectron spectra and structure of 2-(2-phenylhydrazono) acetoacetanilide

2-(2-Phenylhydrazono)acetoacetanilide, itsN-methyl derivatives, and model compounds were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The chemical shifts were obtained from the¹³C NMR spectra. A correlation between the calculated charges, the binding energies on N atoms, and the¹³C NMR chemical shifts was found. The analysis of the XPS data and the¹³C NMR chemical shifts led to the conclusion that crystalline 2-(2-phenylhydrazono)acetoacetanilide exists mainly in the oxo hydrazone form.

1H and 13C NMR study of 8-hydroxyquinoline and some of its 5-substituted analogues

¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) and its 5-Me, 5-F, 5-Cl, 5-Br and 5-NO₂ derivatives have been studied in DMSO-d₆ solution. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts and proton–proton, proton–fluorine, carbon–proton and carbon–fluorine coupling constants have been determined. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts have been correlated with the charge densities on the hydrogen and carbon atoms calculated by the CNDO/2 method. The correlation of the ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts with the total charge densities on the carbon atoms is approximately linear (r_H² = 0.85, r_C² = 0.84). The proton in peri position to the nitro group in 5-NO₂-oxine is an exception.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and 13C-199Hg coupling constants for symmetrical dialkylmercurials

The carbon-13 chemical shifts and coupling constants (J[¹³C? ¹⁹⁹Hg]) have been determined for a series of eleven symmetrically substituted organomercurials. Empirical substituent parameters can be calculated which correlate observed and predicted chemical shifts for dialkylmercurials.     

Temperature effects on 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of normal alkanes and some line r and branched 1-alkenes

¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of a number of 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes are presented. Moreover, effects of changing temperatures on the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of some of these compounds as well as of three normal alkanes are given. These variations in chemical shifts are attributed to varying amounts of sterically induced shifts in the different conformational equilibria. In addition to the well-known 1,4 interaction between two alkyl groups shielding effects on the carbon atoms of the connecting bonds are also proposed. No definite explanation of this effect is presented at this time. It is further shown that no simple correlations exist between ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts and calculated total charge densities at this level. Instead, the experimental results in 1-alkenes are rationalized by assuming a linear dependence of the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of C-1 and C-2 via rehybridizations on changes in bond angles for small skeletal deformations caused by steric interactions. These changes in geometries, as well as conformational energies in three 1-alkenes, were calculated by means of VFF calculations. Finally. upfield shifts for both C-2 and C-4 are proposed for those conformations of 1-alkenes in which the C-3? C-4 group interacts with the p_z-orbital of C-2.     

Saturated amine oxides: part 10. hydroacridines: part 32. linear 17O/13C and 13C/13C chemical shift correlations between saturated azaheterocyclic N‐methylamine N‐oxides,and the methiodides of their parent amines

Two kinds of good linear correlations were found between the chemical shifts of saturated six‐membered azaheterocyclic N‐methylamine N‐oxides and the chemical shifts of the methiodides of their parent amines. One of the correlations occurs between the ¹⁷O chemical shift of the N⁺―O^– oxygen in the N‐oxides and the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group analogously situated in the appropriate methiodide (r = 0.9778). This correlation enables unambiguous configuration assignment of the N⁺―O^– bond, even if the experimentally observed ¹⁷O chemical shift of only one N‐epimer is available, provided the ¹³C chemical shifts of both N⁺―CH₃ groups in the methiodide are known and assigned; furthermore, it can be used also for the estimation of ¹⁷O chemical shifts of the N⁺―O^– oxygens in N‐epimeric pairs of N‐oxides, for which observed ¹⁷O data hardly become available. The second correlation is observed between the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group in the N‐oxides and the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group analogously situated in the appropriate methiodide (r = 0.9785). It can be used for safe configuration assignment of the N⁺―CH₃ group and, indirectly, also of the N⁺―O^– bond in an amine N‐oxide, even if no ¹⁷O NMR data, and the ¹³C chemical shift of only one N‐epimer is available.

Elektronenstruktur und NMR-Parameter von substituierten 5-Phenyl-2,4-pentadiensäuren

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts as well as vicinal HH coupling constants of substituted 5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienoic acids Ar? CH?CH? CR?CR? COOH are reported and discussed in connection with the molecular structure. The ¹³C chemical shift values show an alternation along the chain and can be linearly correlated to the π-electron charge densities as calculated by use of the PPP-method. The effect of para-substituents and solvents upon the ¹³C chemical shifts can be described in terms of the mutual atom-atom polarizabilities.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of monosubstituted pyrazines

Carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts and one-bond carbon–hydrogen coupling constants have been obtained at 15·09 MHz. The trends in the carbon chemical shifts obtained for the pyrazines parallel those of monosubstituted benzenes and 2-substituted pyridines, except for the direct effect of substitution where the pyrazines resemble pyridines not benzenes. The substituent effects on the ¹³C NMR spectra are generally quite similar to those in the ¹H NMR spectra. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of the tautomeric hydroxypyrazine has been compared with the ¹³C NMR spectra of 2-, 3- and 4-hydroxypyridines. Hydroxy compounds that can exist as a cyclic amide show a large meta substituent effect on the chemical carbon shift.     

Electric field effects in 13C NMR of some quaternary morphinan derivatives

¹³C NMR chemical shifts are assigned for some quaternary morphinan derivatives, including the ‘minor isomer’ of the thebaine N-oxides. In quaternary morphinan alkaloids having an 8.14-double bond, electric field effects cause unusual ¹³C NMR shifts.     

Quantum‐chemical analyses of aromaticity,UV spectra,and NMR chemical shifts in plumbacyclopentadienylidenes stabilized by Lewis bases

We carried out a series of zeroth‐order regular approximation (ZORA)‐density functional theory (DFT) and ZORA‐time‐dependent (TD)‐DFT calculations for molecular geometries, NMR chemical shifts, nucleus‐independent chemical shifts (NICS), and electronic transition energies of plumbacyclopentadienylidenes stabilized by several Lewis bases, (Ph)₂(^tBuMe₂Si)₂C₄PbL₁L₂ (L₁, L₂ = tetrahydrofuran, Pyridine, N‐heterocyclic carbene), and their model molecules. We mainly discussed the Lewis‐base effect on the aromaticity of these complexes. The NICS was used to examine the aromaticity. The NICS values showed that the aromaticity of these complexes increases when the donation from the Lewis bases to Pb becomes large. This trend seems to be reasonable when the 4n‐Huckel rule is applied to the fractional π‐electron number. The calculated ¹³C‐ and ²⁰⁷Pb‐NMR chemical shifts and the calculated UV transition energies reasonably reproduced the experimental trends. We found a specific relationship between the ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts and the transition energies. As we expected, the relativistic effect was essential to reproduce a trend not only in the ²⁰⁷Pb‐NMR chemical shifts and J[Pb‐C] but also in the ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts of carbons adjacent to the lead atom. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Carbon-13 NMR and conformational analysis of meso- and dl-α,α′-disubstituted succinic acids

meso-and dl-Diastereomers of a number of α,α′-disubstituted succinic acids have been shown to give different ¹³C NMR chemical shifts. The results can be satisfactorily explained on the basis of their conformational analyses. A discussion of the observed chemical shifts is presented, and the preferred conformation for each of several compounds is predicted on the basis of these chemical shifts.
