13C NMR spectra of arylnaphthalene lignans

The¹³C NMR spectra have been investigated of a number of arylnaphthalene lignans of plant origin: daurinol and its acetyl derivative and reduction product, justicidin A, justicidin B and its reduction product and the diacetyl derivative of the reduction product, and diphyllin and its acetate. The values of the chemical shifts of the carbon atoms in the spectra of the compounds investigated and the nature of their change according to structural factors are discussed and an assignment is made of the resonance lines in the spectra. The characteristics of the spectrum of one compound are used as models for others. The parameters of the¹³C NMR spectra of a number of naphthalene derivatives are also used. On the basis of the results of the assignment of the signals, difference values of the chemical shifts of the carbon atoms in the series of compounds investigated have been determined. Using the experimental results as a background, some examples taken from the literature of investigations of the¹³C NMR spectra of related compounds have been analyzed.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data for benzylidenebenzyl butyrolactone lignans

The structures of three benzylidenebenzyl butyrolactone lignans (gossypifan, carthamogenin, and savinin) have been established on basis of 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic data. The 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of these lignans have been fully assigned by the use of techniques such as gCOSY, non-edited gHSQC, and gHMBC. Complete assignment and most homonuclear hydrogen coupling constant measurements were performed, also providing enough data for the determination of the relative stereochemistry.

13C NMR spectral analysis of chlorpromazine,chlorpromazine sulfoxide and related models

The natural abundance carbon-13 nmr spectra of chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine sulfoxide and related models were obtained and assigned. The chemical shift effects from sulfoxidation of the carbon skeleton will be discussed. Assignments were made on the basis of models, single frequency off-resonance decoupling experiments, additivity rules based on benzene substituent effects, and general symmetry considerations.     

High resolution 13C and 1H NMR spectral analysis of 1-azafluorene

An analysis of the ¹H and ¹³C spectra of 1-azafluorene has been carried out using computer calculations and homo- and heteronuclear double resonance techniques. The ⁴J, ⁵J and ⁶J long-range coupling constants of the 9-CH₂ group protons with the protons of the pyridine and the phenylene rings have been observed and measured. The long-range J(CH) values in the ¹H coupled ¹³C spectrum have been assigned and measured on a first-order basis.     

13 C NMR spectroscopy of substituted xanthones—II: 13C NMR spectral study of polyhydroxy xanthones

The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of eleven hydroxy-, two hydroxymethoxy xanthones, and xanthone-C-glucoside, mangiferin, are presented and analyzed. Hydroxy substituent effects depending on substituent position as well as on shielded ring carbon position have been evaluated. Hydroxy substituent increments for xanthones are proposed. Effects of hydroxylation on carbonyl carbon shift and the methylation of hydroxy group and the corresponding shift increments which are of diagnostic value have been observed and discussed.     

13C NMR spectral study of polyacetoxyxanthones. IV—13C NMR spectroscopy of substituted xanthones

(13)C NMR spectral assignment of 1,4-diarylpiperazinones

The piperazinone derivatives have potential application in the pharmaceutical, polymer and textile fields. The present work describes the preparation of a series of new 1,4-diarylsubstituted-2-piperazinones by condensation of substituted N,N'-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylenediamines with glyoxal and the complete (13)C NMR spectral assignment accomplished using APT, HMQC and HMBC techniques. Substituent chemical-shift effects (SCS) were calculated, which showed different values for the lactam- and amine-substituted aromatic rings. The results show that predictions based on SCS effects are not simple for these molecules due to electronic and steric effects. Moreover, in the case of the ortho-substituted derivative 2 g, the NMR spectra reveal a dynamic behavior related to restricted rotation of the phenyl groups (atropisomerism).     

1H, 13C, and 73Ge NMR spectral analysis of substituted aryltrimethylgermanes

NMR chemical shifts of 1H, 13C, and 73Ge are reported for a series of monosubstituted aromatic trimethylgermanes of the type XC6H4Ge(CH3)3; X = p-N(CH3)2, p-OCH3, p-OC2H5, p-C(CH3)3, p-Si(CH3)3, p-Ge(CH3)3, p-Sn(CH3)3, p-CH3, m-CH3, -H, m-OCH3, p-Cl, p-Br, m-F, m-CF3, p-CF3, o-OCH3, and o-CH3. The relatively narrow 73Ge resonances show a strong correlation with Hammett sigma constants, with a correlation coefficient of 0.976 and 0.876 for 73Ge chemical shifts in meta- and para-substituted derivatives, respectively. The 13C chemical shifts of the methyl carbons bonded to germanium also display a relationship, with correlation coefficients of 0.904, 0.993, and 0.911 for para-, meta- and all derivatives, respectively. Comparisons of the Hammett plots for the homologous series XC6H4M(CH3)3; M = C, Si, Ge, Sn, show that, in general, correlation coefficients decrease while slopes increase significantly down the group, presumably reflecting the corresponding increase in chemical shift range of the group 14 atom. The Hammett constant derived for the p-Ge(CH3)3 group of +0.13 compares with the NMR-derived constants of -0.12 for p-C(CH3)3, +0.14 for p-Si(CH3)3, and -0.14 for p-Sn(CH3)3. The indication of electron release by carbon and tin can be rationalized through traditional hyperconjugative arguments for carbon and by the low electronegativity and consequent inductive effect of tin. The small electron attraction suggested by the positive constants for silicon and germanium can be simply, and perhaps naively, attributed to pi-acceptor interactions with the benzene ring.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of novel chromenylchalcones

Several types of chalcones containing 2H‐chromen group were synthesized. Claisen–Schmidt condensation of 2H‐chromen‐3‐carbaldehydes (I) with methoxy substituted acetophenones afforded (E)‐3‐(2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐1‐(methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones (chromenylchalcones, 1–7). Other types of chromenylchalcone, (E)‐1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐3‐(methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones (8–13) were also obtained between reaction of methoxy substituted benzaldehydes and 1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)ethanone (II). Dichromenylchalcones (14–16) were also synthesized through the same reaction between aldehydes (I) and ketone (II). Their complete ¹H‐NMR and ¹³C‐NMR assignments are reported here and more polysubstituted chromenylchalcones synthesized or isolated from the natural sources in the future can be identified on the basis of the NMR data reported here.

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.     

Identification and quantitative determination of lignans in Cedrus atlantica resins using 13C NMR spectroscopy

Identification and quantitative determination of individual components of resin collected on the trunk of 28 Cedrus atlantica trees, grown in Corsica, has been carried out using 13C NMR spectroscopy. Eight resin acids bearing either the pimarane or abietane skeleton, two monoterpene hydrocarbons and four oxygenated neutral diterpenes have been identified, as well as three lignans, scarcely found in resins. Three groups could be distinguished within the 28 resin samples. The nine samples of Group I had their composition dominated by diterpene acids (33.7-45.8%), with abietic acid (6.2-18.7%) and isopimaric acid (5.1-12.6%) being the major components. The four samples of Group II contained resin acids (main components) and lignans in moderate amounts (up to 10.3%). Conversely, lignans (38.8-63.8%) were by far the major components of the 15 samples of Group III. Depending on the sample, the major component was pinoresinol (18.1-38.9%), lariciresinol (17.2-33.7%) or lariciresinol 9'-acetate (16.9-29.1%). Finally, due to the high biological interest in lignans, a rapid procedure, based on 1H NMR spectroscopy, was developed for quantification of lignans in resins of C. atlantica.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments and conformational analysis of 14 19-nor-neoclerodane diterpenoids

Unambiguous and complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for 14 19-nor-neoclerodane diterpenoids, nine of them isolated from natural sources and five other synthetic derivatives, are presented. The assignments are based on 2D shift-correlated (1H,1H-COSY, 1H,13C-gHSQC and 1H,13C-gHMBC) and NOE experiments. The conformations of rings A and B of these compounds are supported by the 3J(H,H) values and they agree with the low-energy conformations obtained by semi-empirical calculations. Moreover, the data obtained in this work for 2-acetoxyteucvidin and a semisynthetic 18-aldehyde derivative indicate that the configuration at C-2 of the former and at C-10 of the latter must be reversed with respect to those reported previously.     

Detailed assignments of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of 13 beta-substituted cycloenones

Detailed assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data for 13 beta-substituted cycloenones are reported. The assignments are based on 1D (1)H and (13)C NMR and on 2D shift-correlated ((1)H,(13)C-HMQC and HMBC), J-resolved and COSY and double irradiation experiments.     

Fourier transform 13C NMR analysis of benzodiazepines

The natural abundance carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of diazepam, clonazepam, flurazepam and chlordiazepoxide were recorded in suitable solvent using the Fourier transform technique on a JEOL FX-60 spectrometer. The relaxation time (T₁) of these compounds were also measured. The chemical shift of the various carbon resonances have been assigned on the basis of chemical shift theory, multiplicity generated in single-frequency off-resonance decoupled spectra, relaxation time and the chemical shifts of the model compounds.
