Effective consideration of ring structures in CAST/CNMR for highly accurate C NMR chemical shift prediction

A new function that effectively takes into account ring structural environments achieves extensive highly accurate prediction of ¹³C NMR chemical shift in the CAST/CNMR system. The approach adapts a fast and flexible ring perception algorithm and a new CAST coding method for the ring information. ¹³C NMR chemical shift prediction is performed for complicated polycyclic natural products and their synthetic intermediates as the demonstration, which shows the reliability of the function in extending the scope of the practically accurate ¹³C NMR prediction for wide range of organic compounds.

A CAST/CNMR system is utilized in the reinvestigation of ¹³C NMR chemical shift values and structures, and geometric analyses with molecular and quantum mechanics calculations, and revalidation of NMR data support the revised structures.     

Performance validation of neural network based (13)c NMR prediction using a publicly available data source

The validation of the performance of a neural network based 13C NMR prediction algorithm using a test set available from an open source publicly available database, NMRShiftDB, is described. The validation was performed using a version of the database containing ca. 214,000 chemical shifts as well as for two subsets of the database to compare performance when overlap with the training set is taken into account. The first subset contained ca. 93,000 chemical shifts that were absent from the ACD\CNMR DB, the "excluded shift set" used for training of the neural network and the ACD\CNMR prediction algorithm, while the second contained ca. 121,000 shifts that were present in the ACD\CNMR DB training set, the "included shift set". This work has shown that the mean error between experimental and predicted shifts for the entire database is 1.59 ppm, while the mean deviation for the subset with included shifts is 1.47 and 1.74 ppm for excluded shifts. Since similar work has been reported online for another algorithm we compared the results with the errors determined using Robien's CNMR Neural Network Predictor using the entire NMRShiftDB for program validation.     

Solution structure of bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes as observed by O NMR spectroscopy

A group of para-substituted bis(acetoxy)iodoarenes has been studied by ¹⁷O and ¹³C NMR. Only one signal for all the oxygens of the acetoxy groups has been observed. Both ¹⁷O and ¹³C chemical shifts of this group show a strong invariance with para substitution. The absence of covalent I-O bonds and an ion pair structure is proposed for the title compounds.     

The13C NMR spectra of some polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. A calculation of13C chemical shifts

The¹³C NMR spectra of a number of polychiorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) were measured. These and previously known spectra were used for the development of a method for calculation of¹³C NMR spectra of chloroaromatics in the framework of a two-particle increment scheme for carbon chemical shifts. The scheme one allows to calculate¹³C chemical shifts for all 75 PCDD.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 760–761, April, 1994.     

The increment scheme for the prediction of13C NMR chemical shifts in polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins

A topological method for the calculation of¹³C NMR chemical shifts was developed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD). Based on previous results for polychlorinated benzenes and polyhydroxybenzenes, the collective influence of the substituents on carbon chemical shifts is presented as the sum of two-particle increments. The increments only of two new monosubstituted graphs have to be added to those known for PCDD spectra: 1-Cl-DD and 2-Cl-DD. All structural situations in the¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the whole class of 75 PCDD can be covered with a few model compounds. The coefficients of the increment scheme are independent of the change of CDCl₃ for acetone-d₆, so it may be a new reliable criterion for recognizing PCDD by¹³C NMR, in spite of the close resemblance of NMR spectra of aromatic compounds.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

1H, 13C,and 14N NMR study of 3-methylfurazans with nitrogen-containing substituents at position 4

3-Methylfurazans with nitrogen-containing substituents at position 4 were studied by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. A correlation between the chemical shifts in ¹³C NMR spectra of these furazans and monosubstituted benzenes with the same substituents was found. The increments for a number of furazan-containing substituents were determined for the first time.     

13C-NMR-Untersuchungen von Substituenteneffekten in mehrfach substituierten Benzen-und Naphthalenverbindungen: Inkrementberechnungen der13C-chemischen Verschiebungen

Summary The aryl¹³C chemical shifts of Cl-substituted 4-amino-, 4-diazonium-N,N-dimethylanilines, N,N-dimethylanilines and differently substituted naphthalenes were assigned by means of different NMR methods. The assignments were compared with chemical shifts obtained by using empirical additivity relationship for mono substituted aromatic substances. As a means of substitutent interactions, the chemical shift difference between calculated and experimental values ( _c ⁱ ) has been used. In the presence of remarkable steric and electronic substituent interactions, large deviations from additivity ( _c ⁱ values up to 15.4 ppm) were found. Which originate primarily from steric interactions between the substitutents. In order to account therefore, correction increments have been developed by employing the _c ⁱ values obtained from 1,2-disubstituted benzenes or naphthalenes. The¹³C chemical shifts of more than seventy substituted benzenes and naphthalenes have been predicted. The results corroborate that reasonable calculation of chemical shifts in sterically hindered benzenes is possible by using the extended additivity rule. The _c ⁱ values are much lower and allow reasonable structural assignments.For external users of this incremental system, a computer program for IBM compatible PC/AT was developed. By means of this program, the¹³C chemical shifts for different benzenes and naphthalenes with or without 1,2-disubstituted correction increments will be calculated and the corresponding spectrum displayed. The program can assist the successful assignment of experimental¹³C chemical shifts.

     

Simulation of13C NMR chemical shifts for polychlorinated and polybrominated oxybenzenes with two-particle increment scheme

A two-particle system of OY-Cl and OY-Br mixed increments for predicting¹³C NMR chemical shifts of polyhalogenated polyoxybenzenes has been developed. It has been found that only theortho- and para-interactions of the OY and Hal substituents contribute significantly to the¹³C chemical shifts and that theortho-effects of the OY located between Ha1 and H and those of the OY located between two Ha1 atoms are different. Additional effects are due to solvating solvents. The increment scheme is predictive over the whole class of compounds under consideration and may be realized on personal computers.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A set of triple-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance experiments for structural characterization of organophosphorus compounds in mixture samples

The ¹H, ¹³C correlation NMR spectroscopy utilizes J_CH couplings in molecules, and provides important structural information from small organic molecules in the form of carbon chemical shifts and carbon-proton connectivities. The full potential of the ¹H, ¹³C correlation NMR spectroscopy has not been realized in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) related verification analyses due to the sample matrix, which usually contains a high amount of non-related compounds obscuring the correlations of the relevant compounds. Here, the results of the application of ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P triple-resonance NMR spectroscopy in characterization of OP compounds related to the CWC are presented. With a set of two-dimensional triple-resonance experiments the J_HP, J_CH and J_PC couplings are utilized to map the connectivities of the atoms in OP compounds and to extract the carbon chemical shift information. With the use of the proposed pulse sequences the correlations from the OP compounds can be recorded without significant artifacts from the non-OP compound impurities in the sample. Further selectivity of the observed correlations is achieved with the application of phosphorus band-selective pulse in the pulse sequences to assist the analysis of multiple OP compounds in mixture samples. The use of the triple-resonance experiments in the analysis of a complex sample is shown with a test mixture containing typical scheduled OP compounds, including the characteristic degradation products of nerve agents sarin, soman, and VX. The viability of the approach in verification analysis is demonstrated in the analysis of the 30th OPCW Proficiency Test sample.     

13C NMR STUDY OF SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS IN 1,2,4-OXADIAZOLE AND 1,2,4-THIADIAZOLE DERIVATIVES

¹³C chemical shifts of C═N, C═O and C═S carbons of 3,4-disubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-ones(thiones) and 3,4-disubstituted-1,2,4-thiadiazole-5-ones have been determined in CDCl₃ solution. Exceptionally good Hammett correlations of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of these carbons with σ were obtained. The negative ρ values observed (inverse substituent effects) indicate π-polarization of the C═N, C═O and C═S bonds. As expected, the long distance C═O and C═S ¹³C chemical shifts were found less susceptible to substituent-induced electronic changes.     

Effects of different GIAO and CSGT models and basis sets on 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives

The direct molecular structure implementations of the gage-including atomic orbital (GIAO), individual gages for atoms in molecules (IGAIM) and continuous set of gage transformations (CSGT) methods for calculating nuclear magnetic shielding tensors at both the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional (B3LYP) levels of theory with 6-31G(d), 6-311G(d), 6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p), and 6-311++G(df,pd) basis sets are presented. Dependence on the ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts on the choice of method and basis set have been investigated. Also, these chemical shifts of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a–g have been performed related to dihedral angles (C4–C3–C2–O) of two conformers. The optimized molecular geometries and ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift values of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a–g in the ground state have been obtained. The linear correlation coefficients of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for these molecules were given. The new nuclear magnetic shielding tensors of tetramethylsilane (TMS) were calculated. The data of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives display significant molecular structure and NMR analysis. Also, these provide the basis for future design of efficient materials having the 1,3,4-oxadiazole core.     

A C and N experimental NMR and theoretical study of the structure of linear primary aliphatic amines and ammonium salts: from C1 to C18

Eighteen aliphatic linear amines, from methylamine to stearylamine, have been experimentally studied by NMR and theoretically calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. A partial exploration of their conformation has been carried out, mainly to determine the effect on the chemical shifts. In solution and for neutral amines, ¹⁵N chemical shifts indicate a mixture of two conformations. In the solid state (CPMAS NMR) only the subset of solid amines has been studied (from C14 to C18). The ¹⁵N signals of the corresponding ammonium salts in the solid state depend on the counteranions, Cl⁻ and CF₃CO₂⁻, a result that is theoretically proven.     

N-Oxides of polychloropyridines.13C NMR study

The effect ofN-oxidation of a series of polychloropyridines on¹³C NMR parameters has been studied. It has been established that inN-oxides of polychloropyridines an electric field through-space effect of theN-oxide group predominates in the shielding of the -carbon atom compared to the other carbon atoms. A linear correlation between¹³C NMR chemical shifts and total charge densities calculated by the MNDO method for the carbon atoms ofN-oxides of polychloropyridines has been found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Visualization of homoaromaticity in cations, neutral molecules and anions by spatial magnetic properties (through space NMR shieldings)—an H/C NMR chemical shift study

Prototypes for homoaromaticity in cations, neutral molecules, and anions are theoretically studied at the MP2 level of theory. For the global minimum structures on the potential energy surface both ¹H/¹³C chemical shifts and spatial magnetic properties as through space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) were calculated by the GIAO perturbation method. The TSNMRS are visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of different sign and size. Coincident experimental and computed ¹H/¹³C chemical shifts afforded the possibility to decide from the TSNMRSs at hand on both the existence and the size of homoaromaticity in the molecules studied.     

Precise and accurate quantitative C NMR with reduced experimental time

In order to detect small variations in ¹³C isotopomers concentrations, high sensitivity, accuracy and precision have to be achieved. To assess such criteria, when using ¹³C NMR, ¹³C bi-labelled ethanol has been proposed as a molecular probe. Advantage has been taken of the pre-established structural relationship between the peak areas of the ¹³C NMR spectrum of this molecule, i.e. the ratio of signal areas is set to a fixed value. It is shown that the quality performance, required by quantitative ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, is not affected by a large reduction of the repetition delay using relaxation reagents.     

Algorithm for advanced canonical coding of planar chemical structures that considers stereochemical and symmetric information

We describe a rigorous and fast algorithm for advanced canonical coding of planar chemical structures based on the algorithm of Faulon et al. (J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 2004, 44, 427-436). Our algorithm works well even for highly symmetric structures; moreover, an advantage of our algorithm includes providing a rigorous canonical numbering of atoms with a consideration of stereochemistry and recognizing symmetric moieties. The planar structural line notation with the canonical numbering is also fit for use with stereochemical line notation. These capabilities are usable for general purposes in chemical structural coding and are particularly essential for detecting equivalent atoms in NMR studies. This algorithm was implemented on a 13C NMR chemical shift prediction system CAST/CNMR. Applications of the algorithm to several organic compounds demonstrate the practical efficiency of the rigorous coding.
