13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in six-membered ring azaaromatic compounds

The ¹³C-{¹H} NMR spectra of monomethyl substituted diazines, protonated at the picoline and 2-methylopyrimidine nitrogen atoms, have been analyzed, along with that of pyridine N-oxide and its 2-methyl derivatives protonated at the oxygen atom. Direct and vicinal ¹³C-¹³C spin-spin coupling constants (SSCC) have been measured. It was found that the ¹³C-¹³C SSCC in diazines follow additivity rules which are based on consideration of the number and mutual orientation or distribution of nitrogen atoms in the ring. It has also been demonstrated that increased direct ¹J_CC values involving methyl group carbon atoms in -positions to nitrogen atoms in the aromatic ring are due to effects associated with unshared electron pairs.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklieheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1243–1250, September, 1988.     

13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in the spectra of monosubstituted pyridines

The ¹³C- {¹H} NMR spectra of pyridine and a number of monosubstituted pyridines for compounds with the natural percentage of the ¹³C isotope were analyzed. The direct, geminal, and vicinal ¹³C-¹³C spin-spin coupling constants (SSCC) were determined. Linear relationships that link the ¹³C-¹³C SSCC in the spectra of monosubstituted pyridines and benzenes were obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1383–1385, October, 1985.     

Direct13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants of olefinic carbons in vinyl ethers

Conclusions In alkyl vinyl ethers, the values of¹J (¹³C=¹³C) SSCC increase with increasing effective volume of the alkyl group, opposite to the change in the corresponding constants in the series of alkyl phenyl ethers.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2249–2252, October, 1982.     

Direct 13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in the vinyl group of N-vinylazoles

The unshared electron pair of the dicoordinated nitrogen atom introduces a stereospecific contribution to the ¹³C-¹³C spin-spin coupling constant (SSCC) in the vinyl group of a series of N-vinylazoles, the value of which depends on the energetics of the unshared pair.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 197–200, February, 1989.     

Direct13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants for the triple bond in activated acetylenes

Conclusions ¹³C-¹³C SSCC values across the triple bond in activated acetylenes are determined primarily by the -electronic properties of substituents. The enhanced sensitivity of¹J_cc in acetylene derivatives to substituent effects also asserts their possible utility in estimating the electronegative properties of substituents.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1287–1292, June, 1988.     

13C13C spin coupling constants in phenanthrene derivatives

The synthesis of six 1-X- (X = OH, OCH₃, OCOCH₃, CH₃, CHO and CN) phenanthrene derivatives with a ¹³C label at C-1 is described. An analysis of the ¹³C¹³C spin coupling constants shows the importance of π-interaction for the coupling constant transmission. Small ¹³C¹³C spin coupling constants over 6 bonds are reported.     

13C hyperfine coupling constants in o-benzosemiquinones

The ¹³C hyperfine splitting constants of the tetrachloro-o-benzosemiquinone radical anion are measured for naturally occurring ¹³C nuclei in all the possible positions in the molecule. Their assignment is based on the linewidth analysis of the single hyperfine components and this is discussed with reference to the reported spin density distribution in o-semiquinones.     

13C,13C coupling constants of conjugated dienes

One bond ¹³C,¹³C- and ¹³C,¹H-coupling constants have been measured for some 1,2-dimethylene-cycloalkanes, as well as for 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and methylenecyclobutane. The results for 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene confirm the findings for buta-1,3-diene, i.e. that J(C-1, C-2) is smaller for the diene than for the correspondingly substituted monoene. No differences have been found between the ¹J(CC) exocyclic coupling constants of the dimethylene and monomethylene cycloalkanes.     

The Calculation of directly bonded 13C-H and 13C-13C coupling constants using delocalized molecular orbital theory

The Pople-Santry theory of coupling in -electron systems lias been applied to directly bonded CH and CC coupling constants. Calculations on normal hydrocarbons, e.g. CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, C₂H₂, show that the theory can give a satisfactory explanation of such coupling constants, although the values are sensitive to the parameters used in the calculation. The theory has been applied with varying success to the larger hydrocarbons methylacetylene, butadiene and benzene, and to the strained molecules cyclopropane and ferrocene. No difficulty arises in applying the theory to hetero-atomic systems (pyridine and pyrimidine) and the results are quite satisfactory.

Zusammenfassung Die Pople-Santry Theory über Koppelung in -Elektronensystemen wurde auf CH und CC Koppelungskonstanten direkt gebundener Atome angewandt. Rechnungen für einfache Kohlenwasserstoffe, z. B. CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, C₂H₂ zeigen, daß die Theorie eine zufriedenstellende Erklärung solcher Koppelungskonstanten geben kann, obwohl die Werte empfindlich von den in der Rechnung benutzten Parametern abhängen. Die Theorie wurde mit unterschiedlichem Erfolg auf die größeren Kohlenwasserstoffe Methylazetylen, Butadien und Benzol und auf die gespannten Moleküle Cyclopropan und Ferrocen angewandt. Bei Anwendung der Theorie auf Systeme mit Heteroatomen (Pyridin und Pyrimidin) entsteht keine Schwierigkeit und die Ergebnisse sind zufriedenstellend.

Résumé La théorie de Pople et Santry sur le couplage dans les systèmes d'électrons a été appliquée aux constantes de couplage CH et CC entre atomes liés. Les calcules pour quelques simples hydrocarbures, par example CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, C₂H₂, montrent que la théorie explique satisfaisamment ces constantes, bien que les valeurs dépendent sensiblement des paramètres du calcul. La théorie a été appliquée avec succès variable aux hydrocarbures plus grandes: methylacetylene, butadiene et benzène et aux molecules tendues: cyclopropane et ferrocène. Des systèmes à hétéroatomes (pyridine et pyrimidine) ne prêtent pas de difficultés, et les résultats sont satisfaisants.

     

13C-13C NMR coupling constants in substituted allylic ion-pairs of the type occurring in anionic diene polymerization

¹³C-¹³C NMR coupling constants have been measured on the 1:1 adduct of tert-butyllithium and butadiene, a model for the active centres in the anionic polymerization of butadiene. Solutions in three solvents in which solvation and aggregation properties differ were studied, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether and benzene. The 2-methyl- substituted analogue, more appropriate for isoprene type systems was also converted to the potassium salt and a comparison was made of the effect of counter ion. Ion-pair structure is discussed in terms of these measurements.

NMR study of conjugation effects 15.13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in phenyl alkyl ether

Conclusions ¹³C-¹³C SSCC were measured for a series of phenyl alkyl ethers. The values through the bond between C² and C³ in mono substituted benzenes most clearly reflect the -electron interaction of the aromatic ring with the substituent, provided the latter contains no atoms from a period of the periodic table higher than the second.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya.No. 1, pp. 113–119, January, 1982.The authors thank N. M. Sergeev for useful discussions while the work was in progress, and V. N. Khlopkov for technical assistance in setting up the experiments.     

13C-13C NMR spin-spin coupling constants in saccharides: structural correlations involving all carbons in aldohexopyranosyl rings

13C-13C Spin-spin coupling constants (JCC) have been measured in a group of aldohexopyranoses and methyl aldopyranosides singly labeled with 13C at different sites to confirm and extend prior correlations between JCC magnitude and sign and saccharide structure. Structural correlations for 2JC1,C3, 2JC2,C4, 2JC4,C6, and 2JC1,C5 have been confirmed using density functional theory calculations to test empirical predictions. These geminal couplings depend highly on the orientation of C-O bonds appended to the terminal coupled carbons, but new evidence suggests that 2JCCC values are also affected by intervening carbon structure and C-O bond rotation. 3JC1,C6 and 3JC3,C6 values show Karplus-like dependences but also are affected by in-plane terminal hydroxyl substituents. In both cases, rotation about the C5-C6 bond modulates the coupling due to the alternating in-plane and out-of-plane O6. 3JC3,C6 is also affected by C4 configuration. Both 3JC1,C6 and 3JC3,C6 are subject to remote effects involving the structure at C3 and C1, respectively. New structural correlations have been determined for 2JC3,C5, which, like 3JC3,C6, shows a remote dependence on anomeric configuration. Investigations of dual pathway 13C-13C couplings, 3+3JC1,C4 and 3+3JC2,C5, revealed an important additional internal electronegative substituent effect on 3JCC in saccharides, a structural factor undocumented previously and one of importance to the interpretation of trans-glycoside 3JCOCC in oligosaccharides.
