Heterocyclic analogs of xanthiones: 5,6‐fused 3‐methyl‐1‐phenylpyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H) thiones—synthesis and NMR (1H, 13C, 15N) data

Various [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐thiones were synthesized in high yields by treatment of the corresponding [5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐4(1H)‐ones with Lawesson's reagent. Detailed NMR spectroscopic studies were undertaken of the title compounds. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H) was achieved by the combined application of various one‐ and two‐dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of most ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ, J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral characterization of some antimalarial in vitro 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives

We report the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and J(H,H), J(H,F) and J(C,F) coupling constants of 13 2,4‐diamino‐10‐methylpyrimido[4,5‐b]‐5‐quinolone derivatives, some of them with moderate activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. They were characterized and assigned on the basis of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹³C–¹H (short‐ and long‐range) correlated spectra. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

NMR analysis of 6‐(2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′H‐inden‐1′‐yl)‐1H‐indene

¹H, ¹³C and two‐dimensional NMR analyses were applied to determine the NMR parameters of 6‐(2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′H‐inden‐1′‐yl)‐1H‐indene. The measurements were accomplished with 0.5 mg of the substance, this quantity being sufficient to determine the chemical shifts of all the H and C atoms, and also the appropriate coupling constants and to give the complete NMR resonance assignments of the molecule. The predicted patterns of the four different H atoms of the methylene groups of the indane structural element coincided completely with the complex patterns in the NMR spectra.

Stacking Structure of Confined 1‐Butanol in SBA‐15 Investigated by Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

Understanding the complex thermodynamic behavior of confined amphiphilic molecules in biological or mesoporous hosts requires detailed knowledge of the stacking structures. Here, we present detailed solid‐state NMR spectroscopic investigations on 1‐butanol molecules confined in the hydrophilic mesoporous SBA‐15 host. A range of NMR spectroscopic measurements comprising of ¹H spin–lattice (T₁), spin–spin (T₂) relaxation, ¹³C cross‐polarization (CP), and ¹H,¹H two‐dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (¹H,¹H 2D NOESY) with the magic angle spinning (MAS) technique as well as static wide‐line ²H NMR spectra have been used to investigate the dynamics and to observe the stacking structure of confined 1‐butanol in SBA‐15. The results suggest that not only the molecular reorientation but also the exchange motions of confined molecules of 1‐butanol are extremely restricted in the confined space of the SBA‐15 pores. The dynamics of the confined molecules of 1‐butanol imply that the ¹H,¹H 2D NOESY should be an appropriate technique to observe the stacking structure of confined amphiphilc molecules. This study is the first to observe that a significant part of confined 1‐butanol molecules are orientated as tilted bilayered structures on the surface of the host SBA‐15 pores in a time‐average state by solid‐state NMR spectroscopy with the ¹H,¹H 2D NOESY technique.     

NMR spectral properties of the tetramantanes – nanometer‐sized diamondoids

Tetramantanes, and all diamondoid hydrocarbons, possess carbon frameworks that are superimposable upon the cubic diamond lattice. This characteristic is invaluable in assigning their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra because it translates into repeating structural features, such as diamond‐cage isobutyl moieties with distinctively complex methine to methylene signatures in COSY and HMBC data, connected to variable, but systematic linkages of methine and quaternary carbons. In all tetramantane C₂₂H₂₈ isomers, diamond‐lattice structures result in long‐range ⁴J_HH, W‐coupling in COSY data, except where negated by symmetry; there are two highly symmetrical and one chiral tetramantane (showing seven ⁴J_HH). Isobutyl‐cage methines of lower diamondoids and tetramantanes are the most shielded resonances in their ¹³C spectra (<29.5 ppm). The isobutyl methylenes are bonded to additional methines and at least one quaternary carbon in the tetramantanes. W‐couplings between these methines and methylenes clarify spin‐network interconnections and detailed surface hydrogen stereochemistry. Vicinal couplings of the isobutyl methylenes reveal positions of the quaternary carbons: HMBC data then tie the more remote spin systems together. Diamondoid ¹³C NMR chemical shifts are largely determined by α and β effects, however γ‐shielding effects are important in [123]tetramantane. ¹H NMR chemical shifts generally correlate with numbers of 1,3‐diaxial H–H interactions. Tight van der Waals contacts within [123]tetramantane's molecular groove, however, form improper hydrogen bonds, deshielding hydrogen nuclei inside the groove, while shielding those outside, indicated by Δδ of 1.47 ppm for geminal hydrogens bonded to C‐3,21 . These findings should be valuable in future NMR studies of diamondoids/nanodiamonds of increasing size. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis,NMR characterization and ab initio 6‐31G* study of 1‐aryl‐2,3‐dialkyl‐1,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidinium salts

We describe the synthesis of a series of 1‐aryl‐2,3‐dialkyl‐1,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidinium salts 1 , by alkylation of the corresponding 1,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidines 2 . We analyze the changes in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of compounds 2 induced by protonation and quaternization. The results of an ab initio theoretical study on amidine 2a , and the cations resulting from its protonation ( 2aH ⁺) and quaternization ( la ⁺) are presented. A qualitative correlation was found between ¹³C NMR and theoretical data in the case of protonation. The influence of the substitution patterns in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of compounds 1 is also discussed.     

Structure elucidation of [1,3]oxazolo[4,5‐e][2,1]benzisoxazole and naphtho[1,2‐d][1,3]‐ and phenanthro[9,10‐d]oxazoles using gradient selected gHMBC,gHMQC and gHMQC‐TOCSY NMR techniques

Structure elucidation of compounds in the benzisoxazole series ( 1 – 6 ) and naphtho[1,2‐d][1,3]‐ ( 7 – 10 ) and phenanthro[9,10‐d][1,3]oxazole ( 11 – 14 ) series was accomplished using extensive 2D NMR spectroscopic studies including ¹H–¹H COSY, long‐ range ¹H–¹H COSY, ¹H–¹³C COSY, gHMQC, gHMBC and gHMQC‐TOCSY experiments. The distinction between oxazole and isoxazole rings was made on the basis of the magnitude of heteronuclear one‐bond ¹J_{C2, H2} (or ¹J_{C3, H3}) coupling constants. Complete analysis of the ¹H NMR spectra of 11 – 14 was achieved by iterative calculations. Gradient selected gHMQC‐TOCSY spectra of phenanthro[9,10‐d][1,3]oxazoles 11 – 14 were obtained at different mixing times (12, 24, 36, 48 and 80 ms) to identify the spin system where the protons of phenanthrene ring at H‐5, H‐6 and at H‐9 and H‐7 and H‐8 were highly overlapping.

NMR studies on 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one

An unsymmetrical heterocyclic diamine, 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one, was synthesized. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing the two‐dimensional heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H multiple‐bond coherence (HMBC) spectroscopy, and heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H one‐bond correlation spectroscopy, homonuclear shift correlation spectroscopy (H,H‐COSY) and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY). The structure of the compound was shown to be the phthalazinone rather than the phthalazine ether from cross peaks and chemical shifts of the protons. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

One‐ and two‐dimensional NMR characterization of N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate copolymers

N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate (V/M) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical bulk polymerization using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The copolymer composition of these copolymers was calculated from ¹H NMR spectra. The radical reactivity ratios for N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (V) and methyl acrylate (M) were r_V = 0.09, r_M = 0.44. These reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of V and M were determined using the Kelen–Tudos and nonlinear least‐squares error‐in‐variable methods. The ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of these copolymers overlapped and were complex. The complete spectral assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra were done with distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer and two dimensional ¹³C‐¹H heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopic experiments. The two‐dimensional ¹H‐¹H homonuclear total correlation spectroscopic NMR spectrum showed the various bond interactions, thus inferring the possible structure of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies on the phase structure of ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymers by solid‐state 1H and 13C NMR

The phase structure of a series of ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymers has been investigated by solid‐state wide‐line ¹H NMR and solid‐state high‐resolution ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Not only the degree of crystallinity but the relative contents of the monoclinic and orthorhombic crystals within the crystalline region varied with the vinyl acetate (VA) content. Biexponential ¹³C NMR spin–lattice relaxation behavior was observed for the crystalline region of all samples. The component with longer ¹³C NMR spin–lattice relaxation time (T₁) was attributed to the internal part of the crystalline region, whereas the component with shorter ¹³C NMR T₁ to the mobile crystalline component was located between the noncrystalline region and the internal part of the crystalline region. The content of the mobile crystalline component relative to the internal part of the crystalline region increased with the VA content, showing that the ¹³C NMR spin–lattice relaxation behavior is closely related to the crystalline structure of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quantum‐chemical,IR, NMR,and X‐ray diffraction studies on 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐methyl‐ 1H‐benzo[d]imidazole

The title molecule, 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐methyl‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole (C₁₄H₁₁ClN₂), was prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated by using the Hartree‐Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6‐31G(d) basis sets, and compared with the experimental data. The calculated results show that the optimized geometries can well reproduce the crystal structural parameters, and the theoretical vibrational frequencies and GIAO ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts show good agreement with experimental values. The energetic behavior of the title compound in solvent media has been examined using B3LYP method with the 6‐31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Solid‐State and Solution Structural Studies of 4‐{[C(E)]‐1H‐Azol‐1‐ylimino)methyl}pyridin‐3‐ols

The new N‐salicylideneheteroarenamines 1 – 4 were prepared by reacting the biologically relevant 3‐hydroxy‐4‐pyridinecarboxaldehyde ( 5 ) with 1H‐imidazol‐1‐amine ( 6 ), 1H‐pyrazol‐1‐amine ( 7 ), 1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐amine ( 8 ), and 1H‐1,3,4‐triazol‐1‐amine ( 9 ). Solution ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, and ¹⁵N‐NMR were used to establish that the hydroxyimino form A is the predominant tautomer. A combination of ¹³C‐ and ¹⁵N‐CPMAS‐NMR with X‐ray crystallographic studies confirms that the same form is present in the solid state. The stabilities and H‐bond geometries of the different forms, tautomers and rotamers, are discussed by using B3LYP/6‐31G** calculations.     

Conformational dynamics of bis(BF2)‐2,2′‐bidipyrrins revealed by through‐space 13C?19F and 19F?19F couplings

The conformation of [bis‐(N,N′‐difluoroboryl)]‐3,3′‐diethyl‐4,4′,8,8′,9,9′,10,10′‐octamethyl‐2,2′‐bidipyrrin (1) in solution was studied by analyzing the ¹³C? ¹⁹F and ¹⁹F? ¹⁹F through‐space spin–spin couplings. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were assigned on the basis of nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), heteronuclear single‐quantum correlation (HSQC), and heteronuclear multiple‐bond correlation (HMBC) experiments. The ¹⁹F spectrum of 1 was compared with that of 2‐ethyl‐1,3,5,6,7‐pentamethyl‐4,4‐difluoro‐4‐bor‐3a,4a‐diaza‐s‐indacen (2). The ¹⁹F? ¹⁹F through‐space spin? spin coupling in 1 was thus assigned and the coupling constant was obtained by simulating the coupling patterns. The obtained conformation of 1 was compared with those of the known complexes [bis‐(N,N′‐difluoroboryl)]‐3,3′,8,8′,9,9′‐hexaethyl‐4,4′,10,10′‐tetramethyl‐6,6′‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐2,2′‐bidipyrrin (3)and [bis‐(N,N′‐difluoroboryl)]‐9,9′‐diethyl‐4,4′,8,8′,10,10′‐hexamethyl‐3,3′‐bis(methoxycarbonylethyl)‐2,2′‐bidipyrrin (4). The conformational dynamics of 1, 3, and 4 was surveyed by observing the temperature dependence of the through‐space coupling constants between 253 and 333 K. The ¹³C? ¹⁹F and ¹⁹F? ¹⁹F through‐space spin–spin couplings thus confirm similar conformations of different BisBODIPYs in solution in contrast to earlier findings in the solid state.
