Proximity effects in pyridines. Proton chemical shifts in substituted methyl pyridinecarboxylates

Ring and ester proton chemical shifts in six series of substituted methyl pyridinecarboxylates have been measured. Results for ring protons ortho and para to the substituent can generally be accounted for by additive substituent, ester and nitrogen effects. Shifts for protons meta to the substituent, when compared with analogous shifts in monosubstituted benzenes, provide evidence of substituent–nitrogen interactions. In particular, a special effect is noted for series where both the proton and substituent are adjacent to the nitrogen. The origin of this effect is discussed. The ester proton results lead to essentially the same conclusions. Although this probe is much less sensitive to substituent effects, the same special effect is evident for the methyl 6-X-picolinate series.     

The 1H and 13C chemical shifts for some tetrakis(para-substituted phenyl)ethylenes

The proton and carbon chemical shifts for a series of tetrakis(p-substituted phenyl)ethylenes are described. Assignments followed routine substituent chemical shift trends. Both proton and carbon chemical shifts ortho to the varying substituent follow the empirical parameter, Q. The ethylene carbon chemical shifts are proportional to those at the position para to the varying substituent.

在四-(邻氯苯基)卟吩及其金属络合物中,苯环上一个邻位质子被氯原子取代,导致其余苯环质子和全部苯环碳原子成为磁不等性核,从而出现比未取代的四苯基卟吩及其金属络合物为多的化学位移。对于In(OClTPP)Cl,NMR时标上缓慢的轴向配位体交换和苯环相对于卟啉平面的缓慢旋转,导致苯环两侧的不等性;因此,苯环邻位和间位的质子和碳原子各呈现两个不同的化学位移值。本工作测量和归属了H_2(OClTPP)及其诈、镉、镍、铟络合物的质子谱和~(13)C谱,使用偏共振实验以辅助谱的归属。     

Etudes des sélénophènes mono et bisubstitués par Résonance Magnétique de 1H et de 13C

Proton and carbon magnetic resonance spectra of mono-and disubstituted selenophenes are investigated. The proton chemical shifts are discussed in terms of magnetic anisotropy and electric field effects of the substituents, with a view to studying the conformational equilibrium of the carbonyl group. π Electronic charges, computed by the PPP method, are correlated with the proton and carbon chemical shifts. The coupling constants between ¹³C and ¹H (1, 2 or 3 bonds) and ¹³C? ⁷⁷Se are shown to be good structural parameters and a set of substituent additivity constants is calculated.     

Linear Free‐Energy Relationships Applied to the 13C NMR Chemical Shifts in 4‐Substituted N‐[1‐(Pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines

Two series of 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines have been synthesized using different methods of conventional and microwave‐assisted synthesis, and linear free‐energy relationships have been applied to the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the carbon atoms of interest. The substituent‐induced chemical shifts have been analyzed using single substituent parameter and dual substituent parameter methods. The presented correlations describe satisfactorily the field and resonance substituent effects having similar contributions for C1 and the azomethine carbon, with exception of the carbon atom in para position to the substituent X. In both series, negative ρ values have been found for C1′ atom (reverse substituent effect). Quantum chemical calculations of the optimized geometries at MP2/6‐31G++(d,p) level, together with ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, give a better insight into the influence of the molecular conformation on the transmission of electronic substituent effects. The comparison of correlation results for different series of imines with phenyl, 4‐nitrophenyl, 2‐pyridyl, 3‐pyridyl, 4‐pyridyl group attached at the azomethine carbon with the results for 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines for the same substituent set (X) indicates that a combination of the influences of electronic effects of the substituent X and the π₁‐unit can be described as a sensitive balance of different resonance structures.     

Transmission of substituent effects through unsaturated systems. I—relative magnitudes of proton and carbon substituent chemical shifts in ethylenes,butadienes, α-enones and benzenes

The carbon-13 shifts of C-1, C-2 and C-3 are determined in a series of 1-cyclohexen-3-ones substituted in position 1. Linear relationships are demonstrated between the substituent chemical shifts of corresponding carbons in substituted ethylenes, butadienes, α-enones and benzenes. The substituent chemical shifts of proton H-2 are also reported and correlated with those of corresponding protons in ethylenes and benzenes. The slopes of the lines for the carbons directly linked to the substituent are close to unity, showing a relative independence of the substituent effect for this nucleus from the variation of the unsaturated framework. In contrast to this, the transmission of the substituent effect through one double bond (nuclei β to the substituents) decreases as the number of conjugated π bonds in the whole structure increases. This relationship is interpreted as being due to the ability of an unsaturated system to spread the variation of π electron density induced by the substituent.     

Determination of substituent chemical shifts in the proton resonance spectra of the porphyrins

Reproducible proton chemical shifts in the porphyrin series are obtained when the spectrum is measured in chloroform using the zinc (II) complex of the porphyrin in the presence of an excess of pyrrolidine. This method is specifically demonstrated for the case of 2,4-dicyanodeuteroporphyrin-IX dimethyl ester which, as the free base, shows dramatic effects due to aggregation phenomena. The shifts obtained using the zinc (II) complex plus pyrrolidine method, which allow compilation of substituent chemical shifts in the porphyrin series, are shown to be the same as the less easily accessible infinite dilution shifts of the porphyrin free bases.     

The Substituent Effect of 1‐Arylazonaphthen‐2‐ols on Azo‐hydrazone Tautomerization According to NMR Analysis

The substituent effect on azo‐hydrazone tautomerization of 1‐arylazonaphthen‐ols is studied by means of NMR analysis. Among the ¹³C chemical shifts, the C(2) of this series compound is the most sensitive to the variation in the nature of substituent on the phenyl ring. Therefore, the variation in the chemical shifts of C(2) is used to probe the substituent effect by using the substituent chemical shifts and free energy vs. Hammett’s constant (χρ⁺). Both methods give a negative correlation slope, indicating the electron‐with‐ drawing groups favor the hydrazone tautomer form. The effect on the chemical shifts of C(2) of compound 8 in ten solvents can be classified as the solvent with a proton‐donor, proton‐acceptor and arenes system. The substituent with electron‐donating character is more sensitive to the nature of solvent and it favors the hydrazone form. Free energy obtained from the dynamic NMR technique indicates the tautomerization favors the hydrazone‐form for the substituent with electron‐withdrawing character.     

Substituent effects of the N,N-dimethyl- sulfamoyl group on the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of positional isomers of quinolines

The complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of seven positional isomers of N,N-dimethylsulfamoylquinolines 2-8 and quinoline have been made using 1D and 2D NMR techniques, including COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. Deltadelta(H) and Deltadelta(C) substituent effects induced by the sulfamoyl group were determined. The sulfamoyl substituent affects proton and carbon chemical shifts both in the parent and in the fused (pyridine or benzene) ring.     

Effects of molecular asymmetry on 13C chemical shifts in some O- and N-glycidyl compounds

In the ¹³C? {¹H} n.m.r. spectra of certain organic compounds containing two or three glycidyl (2,3-epoxyprop-1-yl) groups, chemical shift nonequivalence has been observed, between diastereoisomers, for chemically similar carbon atoms in the glycidyl groups. Nonequivalence was only apparent when the glycidyl groups were linked through a single atom. In three derivatives of diglycidylaminobenzene, ¹³C chemical shift nonequivalence was also observed for aromatic carbon atoms ortho to the nitrogen substituent.     

C NMR spectra of cyclomercurated ferrocenylimines: Substituent effects and conformations in the ferrocenes

Three series of cyclomercurated ferrocenylimines (2-chloromercurio-ferrocenylimines) have been studied using ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Good to excellent linear relationships have been found to exist between the chemical shifts of the carbon atoms in the ferrocenyl moiety and normal Hammett substituent constants σ_m and σ_p. The δ values of the iminyl carbon atoms show excellent linear correlations with the σ values. In three series of the ferrocenes, the sensitivity of the carbon atoms to the substituent effect is different, which is discussed in terms of the twist angle between the N-phenyl ring and the C---C=N---C plane. The relative sensitivity of the chemical shifts on different positions in ferrocenyl moiety to the substituent effect has also been presented.     

Einflüsse von substituenten in 6-stellung auf die 13C-chemischen verschiebungen der kohlenstoffatome des purins

The ¹³C chemical shifts of purines substituted in the 6 position are reported. Signals are assigned on the basis of general chemical shift rules and by proton “off-resonance” decoupling. Substituent effects (Z_6i) of the substituent X in the 6 position of purine on the ¹³C chemical shifts of purine ring carbon atoms are determined. A linear correlation exists between the substituent effects of X on C-6 (Z₆₆) and Pauling's electronegativity values E_x of the substituent X.     

13C NMR study of some polychloro-isobutane and -isobutene compounds

The ¹³C chemical shifts and the carbon–proton coupling constants have been determined for some chlorinated isobutane and isobutene compounds. The one-bond coupling constants in isobutane derivatives showed a regular increase with an increasing number of γ-chlorine substituents. The three-bond coupling constant of the methyl carbon decreased from 4.2 to 2.0 Hz as the number of chlorine substituents in the γ-position increased. In the isobutene compounds, the vicinal coupling of C-1 was larger to protons in a group that is trans with respect to a chlorine substituent on C-1 than to those in the corresponding group cis to the chlorine. The vicinal coupling constants between atoms in geminal groups (on C-2) seem to be affected by the orientation of the chlorine substituent on C-1.     

15N NMR chemical shifts of ring substituted benzonitriles

15N chemical shifts in an extensive series of para (15) and meta (15) as well as ortho (8) substituted benzonitriles, X-C6H4-CN, were measured in deuteriochloroform solutions, using three different methods of referencing. The standard error of the average chemical shift was less than 0.03 ppm in most cases. The results are discussed for both empirical correlations with substituent parameters and quantum chemical calculations. The 15N chemical shifts calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-31 + G*//B3LYP/6-31 + G* level reproduce the experimental values well, and include nitrogen atoms in the substituent groups (range of 300 ppm with slope 0.98 and R = 0.998, n = 43). The 15N shifts in hydroxybenzonitriles are affected by interaction with the OH group. Therefore, these derivatives are excluded from the correlation analysis. The resultant 15N chemical shift correlates well with substituent constants, both in the simple Hammett or DSP relationships and the 13C substituent-induced chemical shifts of the CN carbon.     

A nuclear magnetic resonance study of three isomeric dinaphthothiophenes

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of three isomeric dinaphthothiophenes are recorded. Chemical shift assignments were made on the basis of substituent chemical shift (SCS) effect arguments, coupling considerations, proton—proton auto-correlated homonulcear (COSY) two-dimensional spectroscopy, and proton—carbon heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) two-dimensional spectroscopy. Some previously published ¹H chemical shifts and coupling constants are compared with our data and some divergences are noted.     

Carbon-13, nitrogen-15 and oxygen-17 NMR chemical shifts of substituted 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinones

The carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 NMR chemical shifts and the direct carbon—proton coupling constants of 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone and its 2′-methyl, 3′-methyl, 4′-methyl, 2′-chloro, 3′-chloro, 4′-chloro, 3′-methoxy, 4′-methoxy and 4′-nitro derivatives were measured in dimethyl sulfoxide. The oxygen-17 NMR chemical shifts of some of the compounds were determined in acetone.The effect of substituents on the chemical shifts of carbonyl carbons correlates well with the Hammett substituent parameters and the nitrogen chemical shifts seem to follow a similar trend. The variation of the oxygen chemical shift due to the substituents is small. The chemical shifts of aromatic carbons can mainly be derived using the substituent parameters of benzene; some deviation probably due to steric effects is observable, however.     

Substituent effects on magnetic non- equivalence in acetals

The proton and ¹³C? H satellite spectra of five diethyl haloacetals have been analyzed and their spectral parameters obtained. The parameters for the ethoxy methylene protons indicate the extent of their magnetic nonequivalence. It has been found that these parameters are dependent on the degree of halogen substitution in the group Z, which is bonded to the central carbon atom, and correlate well with the corresponding group electronegativity values, a′ _z, proposed by Huheey. The parallel behavior of the methylenic J (C? H) and chemical shifts indicates that a primarily through-bond mechanism is responsible for propagation of both the electronic and symmetry effects observed. Transmission factors calculated from the spectral data agree with independent estimates reasonably well, thus supporting the conclusions reached here.     

Additive chemical shift parameters for methylene protons. Shoolery's constants reinvestigated

Methylene proton chemical shifts have been studied using multiple linear regression analysis, and additive chemical shift parameters have been determined. Using a data set of 1007 chemical shifts, involving 48 different substituents, a standard error of estimate of 0.15 ppm was found for protons spread between 2.0 and 5.9 ppm. Provision was made in the data matrix for substituent effects for directly attached groups (α) and for groups attached via one intervening saturated carbon (β-substituents). The influence of groups more remotely located was assumed to be negligible. Although the parameters were optimized for deshielded methylene proton shifts, they also serve satisfactorily for the estimation of shifts in more shielded methylene cases.     

The NMR spectra of porphyrins—19: 13C and proton NMR spectra of metal-free porphyrins with the Type-IX substituent orientation,and of their zinc(II) complexes

The ¹³C and proton NMR spectra of six porphyrins bearing the substituent orientation characteristic of the natural “Type-IX” arrangement are reported and assigned. Significant concentration effects in the spectra of the free base porphyrins, together with the broadening of the C_α (and occasionally C_β) carbon resonances due to NH tautomerism caused a significant loss of data in these spectra. However, the spectra of the corresponding zinc(II) porphyrins (with addition of excess pyrrolidine) show that both these extraneous effects are completely removed to give well-resolved spectra with accurately reproducible chemical shifts. These spectra are assigned and an analysis of the chemical shifts allows the deduction of substituent chemical shift (SCS) parameters for the peripheral substituents at the beta and meso carbons. There is no global effect of these beta substituents, the beta carbon SCS being confined to the immediate pyrrole ring, and the meso carbon SCS to the two adjacent pyrrole rings. The SCS parameters are analyzed and it is shown how they can be used to predict the peripheral and meso carbon chemical shifts of any porphyrin bearing the substituents discussed.
