Glucosidation shifts of allylic and benzylic alcohols in 13C NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³C FT NMR spectra of β-D -glucopyranosides (including their tetraacetates) of several secondary allylic and benzylic alcohols were compared with those of methyl β-D -glucopyranoside and the corresponding parent alcohols. The characeristic glucosidation shifts observed for these alcohols may be applicable to the determination of the absolute configuration of the hydroxy group in these alcohols.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts of nitromalonamide

The OH chemical shift of the enol form of nitromalonamide is found at 18.9 ppm both in DMSO-d(6) and in DMF-d(7) indicating a very strong hydrogen bond. The OH chemical shift is insensitive to temperature changes. Contrary to the large OH chemical shift, a small two-bond deuterium isotope effect of 0.135 ppm due to deuteration at the OH position is found at the enolic carbon. This is confirmed by density functional theory calculations. The observed effects are interpreted as due to an equilibrium between identical enolic forms. These show a strong OH...O hydrogen bond as well as a NH...O-N=O hydrogen bond.     

On the models for deuterium long-range isotope effects in13C NMR spectroscopy

The long-range deuterium isotope effects on¹³C nuclear shielding are physically not yet completely understood. Two existing models for explaining these effects, vibrational and substituent, are compared here. The vibrational model is based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, but it can explain only one-bond deuterium effects. To the contrary, the substituent model may explain many long-range isotope effects, but it is controversial due to the assumption of some distinct electronic properties of isotopes. We explain how long-range deuterium isotope effects may be rationalized by the subtle electronic changes induced by isotope substitution, which does not violate the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

Conformational equilibrium isotope effects in glucose by (13)C NMR spectroscopy and computational studies.

Anomeric equilibrium isotope effects for dissolved sugars are required preludes to understanding isotope effects for these molecules bound to enzymes. This paper presents a full molecule study of the alpha- and beta-anomeric forms of D-glucopyranose in water using deuterium conformational equilibrium isotope effects (CEIE). Using 1D (13)C NMR, we have found deuterium isotope effects of 1.043 +/- 0.004, 1.027 +/- 0.005, 1.027 +/- 0.004, 1.001 +/- 0.003, 1.036 +/- 0.004, and 0.998 +/- 0.004 on the equilibrium constant, (H/D)K(beta/alpha), in [1-(2)H]-, [2-(2)H]-, [3-(2)H]-, [4-(2)H]-, [5-(2)H]-, and [6,6'-(2)H(2)]-labeled sugars, respectively. A computational study of the anomeric equilibrium in glucose using semiempirical and ab initio methods yields values that correlate well with experiment. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of glucose and dihedral rotational equilibrium isotope effects in 2-propanol strongly imply a hyperconjugative mechanism for the isotope effects at H1 and H2. We conclude that the isotope effect at H1 is due to n(p) --> sigma* hyperconjugative transfer from O5 to the axial C1--H1 bond in beta-glucose, while this transfer makes no contribution to the isotope effect at H5. The isotope effect at H2 is due to rotational restriction of OH2 at 160 degrees in the alpha form and 60 degrees in the beta-sugar, with concomitant differences in n --> sigma* hyperconjugative transfer from O2 to CH2. The isotope effects on H3 and H5 result primarily from syn-diaxial steric repulsion between these and the axial anomeric hydroxyl oxygen in alpha-glucose. Therefore, intramolecular effects play an important role in isotopic perturbation of the anomeric equilibrium. The possible role of intermolecular effects is discussed in the context of recent molecular dynamics studies on aqueous glucose.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of natural substances: IV—13C NMR studies of trachylobane diterpenes: Complete carbon assignment

The diterpene trachylobane and a series of derivatives have been completely analysed by FT ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. All ¹³C frequencies for trachylobanol have been unambiguously assigned by experimental techniques, i.e. by proton single-frequency selective decoupling and shift reagent experiments. Shift calculations have been performed for the parent compound by using known methods. The results are discussed in comparison with the experimental data. Satisfactory agreement between predicted and experimental values has been obtained.     

Tautomerism of sterically hindered schiff bases. Deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts

A series of sterically hindered o-hydroxy Schiff bases derived from o-hydroxyaceto- and benzophenones with very short intramolecular hydrogen bonds were described qualitative and quantitatively by deuterium isotope effects on (13)C chemical shift, (n)DeltaC(XD), (n)DeltaF(XD), (1)J(N,H) coupling constants, deltaNCH(3) chemical shifts and UV spectra. All the investigated compounds are found to be tautomeric. The tautomeric character is described by the signs of the deuterium isotope effects on the (13)C chemical shifts. For the 3-nitro-5-chloro derivatives at low temperature, the equilibrium is shifted almost fully toward the proton transferred form in CD(2)Cl(2). Intrinsic deuterium isotope effects on chemical shifts of these compounds as well as (1)J(N,H) coupling constants suggest that a zwitterionic resonance form is dominant for the proton transferred form. Structures, (1)H, (19)F, and (13)C chemical shifts, and deuterium isotope effects on (13)C chemical shifts are calculated by ab initio methods. The potential energy functions and the total deuterium isotope effects are calculated, and they are shown to correspond well with the experimental findings.

Unusual deuterium isotope effects in 13C NMR spectra of trans-stilbene

A detailed analysis of the ¹³C NMR spectra of trans-stilbene and ten deuteriated trans-stilbenes has been undertaken. Some unusual deuterium isotope effects on carbon–hydrogen spin–spin coupling constants could not be explained by the ordinary primary and secondary isotope effects. The positive and negative changes of ⁿJ(CH) were interpreted in terms of a steric effect, the vibrational influence of the C? D bond and the para-effect induced by deuterium. In this respect, deuterium behaves as a real substituent with electronic properties different from those of hydrogen. The deuterium isotope effects on ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and carbon–deuterium coupling constants have also been determined.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C and 15N nuclear shielding in o-hydroxyazo dyes

Deuterium isotope effects on the ¹³C and ¹⁵N nuclear shieldings of o-hydroxyazo compounds are described. Both the direct and the equilibrium contributions were determined. Large direct deuterium isotope effects on ¹⁵N nuclear shieldings for ¹Δ, ²Δ and ⁴Δ and negative Δ¹J(¹⁵NH) [D] values were observed. Isotope effects on ¹⁵N nuclear shieldings, because of their magnitudes, are shown to be very useful in determining changes in the azo–hydrazone equilibrium. Isotope effects on ¹³C nuclear shieldings are smaller, but the effects observed at the carbon resonances of the N-phenyl ring are likewise very useful in determining the shift in the equilibrium. Deuterium substitution leads in all cases to a shift in the equilibrium so that the content of the predominant form of the protio compound is increased.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C nuclear shielding as a measure of tautomeric equilibria

Large deuterium isotope effects of both signs have been observed on the ¹³C nuclear shielding in proton-chelating tautomeric forms of β-thioxoketones, and small isotope effects of both signs have been found in related forms of Schiff's bases of salicylaldehydes. These effects are interpreted in terms of shifts in the tautomeric equilibria on deuterium substitution of the enolic proton. The observation of deuterium isotope effects is suggested as a useful method for the detection of fast tautomeric equilibria in systems of the following type. .     

A novel assignment method in the 13C NMR spectroscopy of coumarins and furocoumarins

Stereochemical studies of substituted 6,7- benzomorphan derivatives by 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³C NMR spectra of a series of 6,7-benzomorphan derivatives variously substituted at C-5 and C-9 by methyl and at C-3 by cyano, alkyl and aralkyl groups, together with certain 3-cyano, 3-allyl or benzyl congeners, are reported and chemical shift data analysed in terms of the configuration of isomeric pairs and compounds isolated as single diastereoisomers. Special attention is given to the consequences of γ-shielding interactions, the effects of the nitrogen lone-pair orbital and anisotropic shielding by the aromatic region of the molecule. Deductions of stereochemistry are supported by ¹H NMR data and the NMR features of the corresponding methiodide salts.     

Structural assignment and molecular order of three-ring mesogen by 13C NMR spectroscopy in mesophase

A homologous series of rod-like molecules with three phenyl rings in the core and terminal alkoxy chains are synthesised from mesogenic two-ring aldehyde by coupling with non-mesogenic 4-alkoxy anilines. The mesophase properties are evaluated with hot-stage optical polarising microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, and accordingly, all the molecules exhibited enantiotropic nematic and smectic C phases along with monotropic low-temperature smectic phases. For a representative homologue, the existence of smectic C phase is further confirmed by noticing a sharp reflection at small angle region in powder X-ray diffraction which varies with change in temperature. The main focus of the investigation, however, is the clear demonstration of chemical shift assignment of static ¹³C NMR of a representative three-phenyl ring mesogen in smectic C phase. In this novel approach, the static ¹³C NMR spectral data of synthetic mesogenic intermediate namely two-ring aldehyde are utilised for the chemical shift assignment of three-ring mesogens. Further, the orientational order parameter of two-ring aldehyde in smectic A and three-ring mesogen in smectic C phase is carried out by measuring the ¹³C-¹H dipolar couplings by 2D separated local field spectroscopy.     

Deuterium isotope effect and oxidation of labelled alcohols

Oxidation of alcoholsR-CHD-OH by CrO₃/pyridine gave the aldehydesR-CDO with a relatively small loss of D thus indicating a pronounced isotope effect.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts of negatively charged NH…N systems

Deuterium isotope effects on ¹³C chemical shifts are investigated in anions of 1,8‐bis(4‐toluenesulphonamido)naphthalenes together with N,N‐(naphthalene‐1,8‐diyl)bis(2,2,2‐trifluoracetamide) all with bis(1,8‐dimethylamino)napthaleneH⁺ as counter ion. These compounds represent both “static” and equilibrium cases. NMR assignments of the former have been revised. The NH proton is deuteriated. The isotope effects on ¹³C chemical shifts are rather unusual in these strongly hydrogen bonded systems between a NH and a negatively charged nitrogen atom. The formal four‐bond effects are found to be negative indicating transmission via the hydrogen bond. In addition, unusual long range effects are seen. Structures, ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and changes in nuclear shieldings upon deuteriation are calculated using density functional theory methods. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts of some α-(2-hydroxyaryl)-N-phenylnitrones (Schiff base N-oxides)

The deuterium isotope effect on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of some α-2-hydroxyaryl-N-phenylnitrones (Schiff base N-oxides) was studied. The existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the proton localized on the phenolic oxygen atom was evidenced. Exceptionally large isotope effects ΔC-2(D) and ΔC-α(D) suggest that the substitution of the proton of the OH group by deuterium leads to a weakening of the hydrogen bond and some conformational changes in the molecule. This conclusion was drawn on the basis of a comparison of the deuterium isotope effects of Schiff base N-oxides and parent Schiff bases. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
