Synthesis of new crown ethers and their metal complexes: 1H and 13C NMR study

A new type of crown ethers containing a diphenyl ether unit has been prepared, the ring size ranging from 12 to 36. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of both free ligands and their metal-ion complexes have been recorded. For 18- and 21-membered compounds a general downfield shift was observed for both methylene and aromatic proton resonances on metal-ion complexation. The stoichiometry of K⁺ and Na⁺ complexes was deduced from chemical shift dependence on metal-ion concentration. The K⁺ and Na⁺ complexes of 18- and 21-membered rings have a guest to host ratio of 1:1, whereas the K⁺ salt of the 15-membered ring exists as a 1:2 complex in solution. The ¹H shift observed on salt formation was attributed to electric-field and conformational effects. The ¹³C resonances for the aryl carbons, C-1, C-2 and C-3, and the α-methylene carbon in 15- and 18-membered rings were shifted upfield when an equivalent amount of KSCN was added in CDCI_3?DMSO-d₆. The shift changes were independent of the anion, and similar results were obtained for SCN^?, Br^?, and I^? salts. The upfield shift is explained by conformational factors. The spectral changes were slight for 12- and 36-membered rings. In 15- and 18-membered rings, complexation induces conformational changes which force the C-α carbon into the plane of the benzene ring. The solution conformation of these molecules is discussed.     

Nine sesquiterpenes from Solanum torvum

Three new sesquiterpenes, namely 3β,11-dihydroxy-4,14-oxideenantioeudesmane (1), 1β,10β,12,14-tetrahydroxy-allo-aromadendrane (2) and 1β,10β,13,14-tetrahydroxy-allo-aromadendrane (3), along with six known sesquiterpenes (4–9), were isolated from the roots of Solanum torvum. Compound 4 and 5 are epimers, their main difference lies in the C-11 configulation. Normally, epimers do not make a huge difference in C NMR spectra, but in this kind of structure of A, B, C rings, and C ring is sterically strained structure, stericall effects influence strongly the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, when C-11 configulation changed, it makes a huge difference in the three ring of structure, such as C-6, C-7, C-11. New compound 2 and 3 are epimers and similar to compound 4 and 5, their just increase a hydroxy in C-1 and have a same regular pattern in C NMR spectra, otherwise, compound 5 was firstly confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Complete Solid State 13C NMR Chemical Shift Assignments for α-D-Glucose, α-D-Glucose-H2O and β-D-Glucose

Abstract

NMR spectra of crystalline α-D-glucose DH₂O (1), α-D-glucose (2), and β-D-glucose (3) were examined by 13C cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) methods. Each of the three forms of glucose exhibited a distinctly different spectrum. Chemical interconversion of 2 and 3 as well as the in situ dehydration of 1 during the course of the CPMAS NMR experiment was monitored in the ¹³C spectra. Samples of 1, 2, and 3 specifically enriched at C-1 and C-6 with ¹³C yielded ¹³C spectra in which the resonances corresponding to the adjacent C-2 and C-5 carbons were not visible due to strong homonuclear ¹³C dipolar interactions with the high abundance label. Spectra of these analogues as well as the C-2 and C-3 labeled materials provided the complete ¹³C chemical shift assignments of crystalline 1 2, and 3. A comparison of the solid state and solution ¹³C spectra revealed substantial resonance shifts for each of the three structures examined.     

1-azabicyclic compounds. 22. Stereochemistry and13C NMR spectra of salts of pyrrolizidine and its homologs with protonic acids

¹³C NMR spectra were obtained for pyrrolizidinium salts and their homologs and their signals were assigned. With the exception of highly strained cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine (VI), all the bases studied upon their direct mixing with CF₃CO₂H form salts only with cis-fused rings in the cation. Mixtures of salts with cis- and trans-fused pyrrolizidinium fragments are formed upon the reaction of cis-3,8-H-methy1- (III) and cis-3,8-H-cis-5,8-H-3,5-dimethylpyrrolizidine (VI) under conditions close to those for kinetically-controlled amine protonation. The¹³C NHR spectra of the isomeric pyrrolizidinium salts obtained as a result of the absorption of base VI by sulfuric acid were used to evaluate the conformational equilibrium in the starting compound VI. The¹³C NMR chemical shifts of unsubstituted trans-fused pyrrolizidinium salts were predicted.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1638–1647, December, 1985     

Synthesis of the [<Superscript>2</Superscript>H,<Superscript>15</Superscript>N]-labeled antiviral drug “triazavirine”

Selective methods for the incorporation of stable isotopes ¹⁵N and ²H into the structure of antiviral medicine “triazavirine” 1 were developed. The synthesized isotopically modified “triazavirine” 1– ² H ₃ , ¹⁵ N ₃ contained the labeled atoms in both the azole and the azine rings. ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectra of the isotope-containing sample 1– ² H ₃ , ¹⁵ N ₃ were thoroughly analyzed.     

Synthesis,spectral, stereochemical and biological evaluation of (E)-2-(3-pentyl-2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide derivatives

A series of new (E)-2-(3-pentyl-2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamides (1-6) were synthesized from the corresponding 3-pentyl-2,6-diarylpiperidine-4-ones condensation with phenyl thiosemicarbazide. Their chemical structures were confirmed by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectral techniques and for compound 3, HOMOCOSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, and DEPT NMR spectral techniques. From the NMR spectral data the compounds (1-6) are shown to exist in normal chair conformation with equatorial orientation of all the phenyl groups at C-2 and C-6 and pentyl group at C-3. The synthesized compounds were screened for their bacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, and Escherichia coli and fungal activity against Candida albicans, Rhizopus sp, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flasvus.     

The assignment of the 1H and the 13C NMR chemical shifts of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam

The assignment of the signals in the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam is difficult for the signal pairs C-2 and C-4, C-1 and C-3, (C-1)? H, (C-2)? CH₃ and (C-4)? CH₃. The ¹³C NMR spectrum recorded under gated decoupling conditions provide long-range couplings which make possible an unambiguous assignment of the ¹³C NMR signal pairs. Application of the ¹H CW off-resonance decoupling technique in recording the ¹³C NMR spectra enables the assignment information from the ¹³C NMR spectrum to be transferred to the ¹H NMR spectrum.     

New chemical constituents from the Piper betle Linn. (Piperaceae)

The phytochemical investigation of chloroform extract from Piper betle var. haldia, Piperaceae, leaves has resulted in the isolation of two new chemical constituents which were identified as 1-n-dodecanyloxy resorcinol (H1) and desmethylenesqualenyl deoxy-cepharadione-A (H4), on the basis of spectroscopic data 1D NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and 2D NMR (¹H-¹H COSY and HMBC) as well as ESI-MS, FT-IR and HR-ESI-MS analyses. Compounds H1 and H4 showed excellent antioxidant DPPH free radical scavenging activity with IC₅₀ values of 7.14 μg/mL and 8.08 μg/mL compared to ascorbic acid as a standard antioxidant drug with IC₅₀ value of 2.52 μg/mL, respectively. Evaluation of cytotoxic activity against human hepatoma cell line (PLC-PRF-5) showed moderate effect with the GI₅₀ values of 35.12 μg/mL for H1, 31.01 μg/mL for H4, compared to Doxorubicin^® as a standard cytotoxic drug with GI₅₀ value of 18.80 μg/mL.     

1H- und 13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Struktur N-substituierter Tetrazole—Die Strukturen des N-Methoxycarbonyl-, N-Acetyl- und N-(Tri-n-butylstannyl)-tetrazols sowie Substituenteneffekte auf δ13C und 1J(CH)

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of several isomeric N-substituted tetrazoles have been investigated. ¹³C NMR is shown to be more useful for distinguishing between structural isomers of N-substituted tetrazoles except for those carrying electropositive substituents like SnBu₃. Correlations of δC-5 (inverse) and ¹J(C-5,H) with s?₁ found for 1-substituted tetrazole allowed the identification of the N SnBu₃ derivative as 1-(tri-n-butylstannyl)tetrazole. The phenyl carbon chemical shift difference ΔC′ = δC-3′-δC-2′ is insignificant for structure elucidation and conformational studies of N-substituted 5-phenyltetrazoles; ΔH′ from ¹H NMR spectra seems to be more useful.     

Cytotoxic effect of some pentacyclic triterpenes and hemisynthetic derivatives of stigmasterol

Two different oxidation reactions (PCC and KMnO₄) of stigmasterol gave three products, stigmasta-4,22-dien-3-one (1a), stigmasta-4,22-diene-3,6-dione (1b), and 3-O-acetyl-5β,6β-epoxystigmast-22-ene-3-ol (1c). The cytotoxic activities of hemisynthetic compounds, stigmasterol, and four pentacyclic triterpens 2–5 previously isolated from cultivated and wild Triumfetta cordifolia and identified were investigated against human fibrosarcoma cell line (HT1080). Most of the drugs showed moderate cytotoxic activity. It was also notice that the triterpene skeleton had a range of number of OH functions in which activity was observed. Spectroscopic analyses (¹H and ¹³ C NMR) and mass were used to elucidate the structure of hemisynthetic compounds.     

Solid-state NMR studies of methyl celluloses. Part 1: regioselectively substituted celluloses as standards for establishing an NMR data basis

Three methyl celluloses with completely uniform substitution pattern, 2-O-methyl cellulose (1), 3-O-methyl cellulose (2) and 6-O-methyl cellulose (3), were prepared according to the cationic ring opening polymerization approaches starting from substituted 1,2,4-orthopivalate derivatives of d-glucose. These samples allowed for the first time to sort out the methyl substitution effects on solid-state NMR chemical shifts and relaxation. Dipolar dephasing experiments allowed the detection and assignment (¹H, ¹³C) of the methyl groups. In 1 and 2, these resonances overlapped with those of C-6, whereas in 3, the methyl signal experienced a low-field shift into the region of C-2,3,5. ¹³C T₁ experiments were used to verify different relaxation behavior of the carbon sites, particularly the short relaxation time of at the carbon substitution site next to the methyl groups. This effect was used to unambiguously identify the ¹³C chemical shifts of the carbons carrying the methoxyl substituent, although they overlap with all resonances in the C-2,3,5 region. The data obtained for the standard samples with uniform substitution will now be used as the basis for determining methylation patterns and substitution degree in commercial methyl celluloses.     

Maillard Reaction: Investigation of the Chemical Structure of Melanoioins Synthesized from D-Xylose and Glycine Using 13C and 15N Specifically Labeled Reactants

Abstract

Melanoldins were Isolated 1n 36% yield w/w from molar solution of D-xylose and glydne-2-¹³C (A); D-xylose and glycine-l-¹³C (B); D-xylose-1-¹³C and glydne (C); D-xylose and glyclne (D); D-xylose and glycine-¹⁵N (E). Each solutTon was kept at 68[ddot]C until complete disappearance of xylose as evidenced by NMR. ¹³C and ¹⁵N solid state nuclear magnetic resonance and diffuse reflectance Infrared spectrometry were used in their structural elucidation before and after basic and add hydrolysis. Both C-1 and C-2 of glycine were Incorporated Into the polymers. In the ¹³C CP-MAS NMR spectra, C-1 gave a single peak in the polymer at 171.3 ppm, while C-2 gave three at 48.1, 31.2 and 22.5 ppm. Area measurements of the respective peaks Indicated that 50% of the Incorporated glycine had undergone decarboxylatlon. C-1 of xylose was Incorporated into the polymers mainly as two types of carbons at 68.8 ppm (CHOH, C-OH) and at 133.3 ppm (unsaturated C). Hydrolysis (6N HC1) led to a 20% reduction 1n weight of the melanoldlns, a decrease of 2% in C and 10% in N. ¹³C CP-MAS NMR revealed after hydrolysis of D, the disappearance of signals at 69, 110, 152, 172 and 200 ppm. Hydrolysis of A and B reduced all signals originating from C-1 and C-2 of glydne, while hydrolysis of C reduced only the signal of 68.8 ppm. ¹⁵N CP-MAS NMR of hydrolyzed E showed a greatly reduced amide resonance at 100 ppm, with more pyrrole or imino N. DR-IR showed a reduction 1n both the 1625 and 1550 cm^-1 bands with a concurrent appearance of a 1715 cm^-1 band.     

A Novel Oxazolidine Derivative from Xylose and Urea

Abstract

Reaction of equiraolecular amounts of xylose and urea in D₂O at 68 °C, monitored by ¹³C NMR, gave a six carbon xylofuranosyl derivative as the major product. No intermediate in the formation of this monomeric compound was detected. The xylofuranosyl derivative was subsequently isolated and purified from a six week 0.1 molar reaction of xylose and urea in H₂O. Its structure, α-d-xylo-furano[1,2-d]oxazolidin-2-one 1, was confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H coupled and decoupled ¹³C NMR, ¹H NMR, IR and DCI-MS. The ¹H NMR and GC-MS (El, DCI) of the N-acetyl-di-O-acetyl derivative 2 were in agreement with structure 1.     

Synthesis of lupeol derivatives and their antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities

The natural product lupeol 1 was isolated from aerial parts of Vernonia scorpioides with satisfactory yield, which made it viable to be used as starting material in semisynthetic approach. Ten lupeol derivatives 2–11 were prepared by classical procedures. Including, five new esters derivatives 7–11, which were obtained by structural modifications in the isopropylidene fragment. All semisynthetic compounds and lupeol 1–11 were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and HRMS. Their antiprotozoal activity was evaluated in vitro against L. amazonensis and T. cruzi. Derivative 6 showed the best antitrypanosomal activity (IC₅₀ = 12.48 μg/mL) and the lowest cytotoxic derivative (CC₅₀ = 161.50 μg/mL). The mechanism of action of the most active derivatives (4, 6 and 11) is not dependent from the enzyme trypanothione reductase.     

Tetrakis(thione)platinum(II) complexes: synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,crystal structures,and in vitro cytotoxicity

A new series of platinum(II) complexes based on thione ligands with general formula [Pt(thione)₄]X₂ (X^??=?Cl^?, NO₃^?) has been synthesized and characterized using CHNS elemental analysis, infrared, ¹H and ¹³C solution-state NMR as well as ¹³C and ¹⁵N solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The spectroscopic methods confirm the coordination of Pt(II) with thiocarbonyl groups via sulfur of the thione ligands. The X-ray structures showed a distorted square planar geometry for 1, [Pt(MeImt)₄]Cl₂ (MeImt = N-Methylimidazolidine-2-thione) while the hydrogen bonding interactions in 7, [Pt(iPrImt)₄](NO₃)₂·0.6(H₂O) induce a bent see-saw distortion relative to the ideal square planar geometry. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies showed that 2, [Pt(EtImt)₄]Cl₂ is generally the most effective, a two-fold better cytotoxic agent than cisplatin and carboplatin against MCF7 (human breast cancer).

Synthesis,structural characterization,and cytotoxic activity of new spirocyclic octachlorocyclotetraphosphazenes

Octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene, N₄P₄Cl₈, (1) was reacted with N, N′-dibenzylethylenediamine to synthesize partially substituted monospiro- (2), dispiro- (5) and tetraspirocyclotetraphosphazene (8) derivatives. The reactions of 2 and 5 with excess pyrrolidine and morpholine produced fully substituted pyrrolidino (3 and 6) and morpholino (4 and 7) spirocyclotetraphosphazenes. The structures of the compounds were determined with 1D (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, and DEPT) NMR, 2D (HSQC) NMR, ESI-MS, FTIR, and elemental analysis. The solid-state structures of 6 and 7 were examined by X-ray crystallography. In 7, intramolecular C-H…O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimmers. The cytotoxic activity of all the compounds against human cervix carcinoma cell lines (HeLa) was investigated. The study showed that these compounds exert limited cytotoxic, apoptotic and necrotic effects on HeLa cancer cell lines.     

1H, 13C and 199Hg NMR Studies of the Complexation of HgCl2 by Imidazolidine-2-Thione and its Derivatives

Abstract

Mercury(II) complexes of imidazolidine-2-thione and its derivatives have been synthesized and their ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectra measured. HgCl₂ forms L₂HgCl₂ type complexes (where L = imidazolidine-2-thione and its derivatives). The NH group of the ligand is shifted downfield by about +1.37 ppm in the ¹H NMR after complexation. The C-2 carbon in the ¹³C NMR is shifted by—6.50 ppm for mono N-substituted ligands, but by—5.30 ppm for N,N''-disubstituted ligands. The ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR resonance is shifted by about—60 ppm for N-substituted ligands, but—140 ppm shifts were observed for N',N'-disubstituted ligands.     

Regioselective synthesis and structures of anti-cancer 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 derivatives

Abstract

Regioselective synthesis of three novel palmitates of 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg₃ was accomplished via a facile strategy, along with complete assignment of their ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances by 1D and 2D NMR (¹H-¹H COSY, DEPT 135, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) techniques. The derivatives were tested for in vitro anti-proliferative activities against pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells. Compounds 2, 3, and 4 exhibited more potent activity than did 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg₃.     

Synthesis of fulleropyrrolidine dicarboxylic acid and its scavenging activity to superoxide radicals (O_2 ^{\bar \cdot } )

Photochemical reaction of C60 with iminodiacetic ester (NH(CH₂COOR)₂, R=Me, Et, t-Bu) produced fulleropyrrolidine derivatives 2 in a 55%–36% yield (based on consumed C60). The reaction activity correlated with the steric hindrance of R groups. The order of the reaction rates decreased from Me to t-Bu (R=Me>Et>t-Bu). Fulleropyrrolidine derivative 2 (R=Me) were hydrolyzed with NaH and methanol in toluene, and then acidified with HCl to result in the corresponding fulleropyrrolidine dicarboxylic acid 3 in a 65% yield (relative to fulleropyrrolidine derivative 2). C60 derivatives 2 and 3 were structurally characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and elementary analysis, MS. A chemiluminescence technique was applied to study the effects of their scavenging superoxide radicals generated by pyrogallol autoxidation. The results show fulleropyrrolidine dicarboxylic acid 3 had scavenging activity and the efficiencies were dependent on their concentrations. At the concentration of 3.0×10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹, fulleropyrrolidine dicarboxylic acid 3 showed a radical scavenging efficiency of approximately 70%. Finally, the influence of structure factor on the scavenging activity was discussed. The results show that the monoadduct of C60, owing to keeping almost intact double bands in C60 moiety, had obvious scavenging activity for superoxide radicals . __________ Translated from Chinese Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2006, 23(1) (in Chinese)
