A new strategy involving the use of 2D long-range δ_C/δ_H correlation in conjunction with the 1D proton-coupled ¹³C NMR spectrum has been applied to the structural elucidation of ekeberginine, a new carbazole alkaloid from the stem bark of $\text{Ekebergia senegalensis}$ (Meliaceae).     

Reactions of palladium(II) cyclometallated benzylideneaniline Schiff's bases. Some relative rates for the synthesis of ortho-substituted carbomethoxy derivatives via CO insertion

The synthesis and characterisation of the complexes [(p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH($\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_3\text{Y))P}$d(OAc)]₂ (II) are reported. These complexes react at very different rates with carbon monoxide in methanol to give the ortho-substituted esters, p-CH₃C₆H₄NCHC₆H₃Y - 2R, R = CO₂CH₃, with electron withdrawing Y substituents slowing the reaction. The ¹³C{¹H} data for II show a linear correlation of δ(C(2)) in the 5′-complexes (Y trans to PdC) with δ(C(4)) of monosubstituted benzene compounds. For Y = 5′-NO₂, 4′-NO₂ and 4′-Cl, the bis complex [{p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH(

is formed in a secondary reaction.     

13C-NMR studies of polyfluorinated hydrocarbons,carboxylic acid derivatives,alcohols and ethers

δ¹³C values and coupling constants (¹J(¹³C¹H), ¹J(¹³C¹³C), ⁿJ(¹⁹F¹³C) are reported for 19 polyfluorinated organic compounds. It is shown that the shielding of carbon depends upon the number of fluorine atoms in α -position. If the R_F-group is linked to a π -system hyperconjugative $\text{and}$ η-π interaction accounts for the δ¹³C data. The values ¹J(¹³C¹H) and ¹J(¹³C¹³C) are in qualitative agreement with changes of the s-character of the respective bonds.     

A raman,infra-red and n.m.r. spectroscopic study of the pentafluorotellurate(IV) ion

The Raman, and infra-red spectra of Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, NH₄⁺, C₅H₅NH⁺ and $\text{n}$-Bu₄N⁺ salts of the TeF₅^- ion are reported. They are assigned C_s symmetry. ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectra of the $\text{n}$-Bu₄N⁺ salt show J(F_ax-F_eq)50.4Hz, J(¹⁹F_eq-¹²⁵Te)1375.7Hz, J(¹⁹F_ax-¹²⁵Te)2883.3Hz and J(¹⁹F_eq-¹²³Te)1143.8Hz. No n.m.r. evidence was found for TeF₆^2-.     

Molecular predissociation dynamics revealed through multiphoton ionisation spectroscopy. I. The C1B1 states of H2O and D2O

The $\text{C}$¹B₁ states of H₂O and D₂O have been observed by means of three photon absorption (four photon ionisation) spectroscopy. Differences between the experimentally observed 3 + 1 multiphoton ionisation spectrum and that predicted by the appropriate asymmetric-top three-photon line-strength theory are attributed to $\text{C}$ state predissociation. Two separate predissociation mechanisms have been identified, one (heterogeneous) relying on a-axis parent molecular rotation to couple the bound B₁ state to an unbound state of A₁ electronic symmetry, the other (homogeneous) involving a second, dissociative excited electronic state of B₁ symmetry. Having established the detailed $\text{C}$ state predissociation dynamics, two photon absorption spectra of H₂O and D₂O ($\text{C}$ ← $\text{X}$) can be predicted accurately: studies of individual quantum-state-selected photofragmentation processes from H₂O($\text{C}$) are proposed.     

Optisch aktive übergangsmetall-komplexe : XVIII. Über die reaktion von C5H5Co(CO)(C3F7)j mit isonitrilen

In the reaction of C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I with isonitriles in the molár ratio $\text{1}\text{1}$ the brown complexes C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I are formed. The fluorine atoms of the α-CF₂ groups are diastereotopic because of the asymmetric center at the Co atom. With (—)-α-phenylethylisonitrile a pair of diastereoisomers is obtained which could not be separated.C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I and C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I react with excess isonitrile with the formation of benzene soluble, yellow salts [C₅H₅Co(CNR)₂(C₃F₇)]⁺I^?, which can be transformed into the corresponding PF^?₆ salts. The new compounds were characterised by C, H, N, Co analyses, molecular weight determinations, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, ¹³C NMR, ESCA and mass spectra.     

Darstellung ylidischer metallacyclopropankomplexe durch ringverkleinerung metallacyclischer vinylketonkomplexe. Molekülstruktur von C5H5W(CO)2[(PMe3)HC-CH(COMe)]

The addition of trimethylphosphane to five-membered metallacyclic vinylketone complexes of the type Ar$\text{M(CO)}{}_2\text{(HCCHCO}$R) (I) (Ar = η⁵-aromatic ring system: C₅H₅, C₅H₄Me, C₅Me₅; R = Me, Et, n-Bu; M = Mo, W) in pentane solution results in the formation of the ylidic metallacyclopropane complexes Ar$\text{M(CO)}{}_2\text{[(PMe}{}_3\text{)-HCC}$H(COR)] (II). In these 1:1 adducts the three-membered ring is stabilized by an electron-donating phosphonium and an electron-attracting acyl substituent. The negative charge in the ylidic complexes II is localized on the central metal providing it with Lewis base properties. An extraordinary high electron density can be observed on the metal of the derivative C₅H₅$\text{W(CO)(PMe}{}_3\text{)[(PMe}{}_3\text{)HCC}$H-(COMe)] (III) which is formed by a 1:2 addition of C₅H₅W(CO)(C₂H₂)-(COMe) and PMe₃. The metallacyclopropane complexes II and III are characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR and mass spectroscopy. For C₅H₅$\text{W(CO)}{}_2\text{[(PMe}{}_3\text{)HCC}$H(COMe)], the results of an X-ray structure determination are presented.     

Lithium dialkylamides. 13C parameters and slow proton transfer

The changes in ¹³C chemical shifts for the structural change R₂NH → R₂NLi have been measured for a series of dialkylamines. These lithiation shifts are largest at the $\text{alpha}$ carbon (3.7 – 9.7 ppm) and decrease in the order α > β > γ > δ. The rates of lithium-hydrogen interchange between R₂NH and R′₂NLi have been determined. The activation energies are large (9 – 17 kcal/mole) and increase as the size of R or R′ increases. The slow exchange permits the direct measurement of acidity differences between pairs of amines using ¹³C nmr.     

Interactions electroniques en serie organostannique aromatique. etude par rmn de 19F. : III. Subtituants asymetriques SnABC.

Linear relations observed between ¹⁹F chemical shifts δ$\text{M}\text{F}$ and δ$\text{P}\text{F}$ in the series 3 or 4-FC₆H₄SnA₃ confirm the validity of the relations established between δ$\text{P}\text{F}$ and o° constants of SnA₃ groups.This study has been extended to asymetric groups SnA₂B and SnABC.     

The thiolate anion as a nucleophile Part XI. Effect of the size of the nucleophile

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of some simple fluorobenzenes, C₆H_6?xF_x with sodium methanethiolates Na⁺SR^?(R=Et, $\text{i}$-Pr, $\text{t}$-Bu) have been studied. Some fully substituted products, C₆H_6?x(SR)_x, could be obtained in DMF as solvent with R = Et and $\text{i}$-Pr, but not when R = $\text{t}$-Bu. All the new products isolated have been characterized by elemental analysis, and NMR (H-1 and F-19), infrared and mass spectroscopy.     

Reaction of some tertiary phosphines and phosphites with [Co(η5-C5H5)(S2C2{CN}2)]

Reaction of the 16 electron monomer [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)(S₂C₂{CN}₂)] with various tertiary phosphines and phosphites (L) gives readily the 18 electron monomers [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)(S₂C₂{CN}₂)L] which for L = P(OR)₃ have J($\text{P}$C₅$\text{H}$₅) ca. 6 Hz but J($\text{P}$C₅$\text{H}$₅) = 0 for L = PR₃.     

Comparison of the substituent effects on the 13C NMR with the 1H NMR chemical shifts of CHN in substituted benzylideneanilines

Fifty‐two samples of substituted benzylideneanilines XPhCH?NPhYs (XBAYs) were synthesized, and their NMR spectra were determined in this paper. Together with the NMR data of other 77 samples of XBAYs quoted from literatures, the ¹H NMR chemical shifts (δ_H(CH?N)) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts (δ_C(CH?N)) of the CH?N bridging group were investigated for total of 129 samples of XBAYs. The result shows that the δ_H(CH?N) and δ_C(CH?N) have no distinctive linear relationship, which is contrary to the theoretical thought that declared the δ_H(CH?N) values would increase as the δ_C(CH?N) values increase. With the in‐depth analysis, we found that the effects of σ_F and σ_R of X/Y group on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are opposite; the effects of the substituent specific cross‐interaction effect between X and Y (Δσ²) on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are different; the contributions of parameters in the regression equations of the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) [Eqns 4 and 7), respectively] also have an obvious difference.

C2O(X3Σ−): absolute reaction rates measured by laser induced fluoresence

Absolute rate constants are reported for reactions of C₂O($\text{X}\text{?}$³Σ^?) under pseudo-first-order decay conditions. C₂O is generated by laser photodissociation of C₃O₂ at 266 nm, and detected by dye-laser induced fluorescence on the $\text{A}\text{?}$³Π_i-$\text{X}\text{?}$³Σ^? transition. Rate constants of (433 ± 12), (3.30 ± 0.12) and (1.12 ± 0.05) × 10^?13 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 are reported for reactions with NO, O₂ and isobutene. The NO value is approximate due to an apparent dark reaction between NO and C₃O₂. Upper limits of 1 × 10^?14 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 are reported for reactions with H₂, CO₂, C₃H₂ and C₂H₄. The C₂O + C₃O₂ reaction does not follow pseudo-first-order decay kinetics. Two explanations are proposed to explain this observation. Results are compared with previous relative rate measurements and are discussed in terms of their relevance to combustion chemistry.

Biosynthesis of highly modified meroterpenoids in aspergillus variecolor. Incorporation of 13C-labelled acetates and methionine into anditomin and andilesin C

Incorporations of [1-¹³C]?, [2-¹³C]?, [1,2-¹³C₂]-acetates and [¹³C]-methionine into anditomin, a metabolite of $\text{Aspergillus variecolor}$, indicate its formation by a mixed polyketide-terpenoid biosynthetic pathway similar to that elucidated for andibenin; observations are made on the possible biosynthetic relationship of the $\text{A. variecolor}$ metabolites with austin and terretonin, mycotoxins recently isolated from $\text{A. ustus}$ and $\text{A. terreus}$ respectively.     

Synthesen im system {carbonylmetallat/ketenimin/säure}: XXX. Neue ferra- und rhenaazetidine

The metal carbonyl anions [Fe(η-C₅H₅(CO)₂]^? and [Re(CO)₅] undergo regio- and site-specific [2 + 2]-cycloadditions with the ketenimines Ph₂CCNR (R = Me, Ph) to give the (isolable) anionic complexes [L_n$\text{M{C(CPh}{}_2\text{)N(R)C}$(O)}]^? (L_nM = Fe(η-C₅H₅)CO, Re(CO)₄) which have been alkylated and acylated at the exocyclic oxygen atom of the carbonyl function. The result is stable neutral complexes having a metallaazetidine structure which is composed of an α-metallated enamine and an N,O carbene part. IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR data are presented.     

Ruthenium(0) Catalyzed Isomerization of Allylbenzene. The Detection and Isolation of A Hydrido-η3-Allyl Intermediate

Allylbenzene is isomerized to $\text{cis}$- and $\text{trans}$-β-methylstyrene at 35–60°C in the presence of [(C₆H₅)₃P]₄Ru(π-CH₃CN)·CH₃CN. Two hydrido-η³-1-phenylallyl ruthenium complexes have been detected by proton nmr spectroscopy during the reaction and the predominant one of formula [(C₆H₅)₃P]₂RuH(η³-C₃H₄C₆H₅)(CH₃CN) has been isolated. The structure of this intermediate contains cis phosphines, mutually trans hydrido and acetonitrile ligands and the 1-phenylallyl ligand in a $\text{syn}$-configuration. A similar structure with an $\text{anti}$-configuration of the 1-phenylallyl ligand is suggested for the other detected intermediate. These complexes indicate that this isomerization is initiated by oxidative-addition of ruthenium(0) to an allylic C-H bond with the formation of distinct η³-allyl metal hydride species as has been proposed in a number of metal catalyzed olefin transformations.     

Reactions of the tertiary phosphines R2PCCCl(CF2)n with group VI hexacarbonyls and salts of platinum and palladium

The tertiary phosphines R₂P$\text{CCCl(C}$F₂)_n (R = C₆H₅ or C₆H₁₁; n = 2,3, or 4) react with M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) to give R₂P$\text{CCCl(C}$F₂)_nM(CO)₅ in which the ligand is bonded to M through P alone. Similar bonding is found in some chloro-complexes of platinum and palladium.     

Crystal and molecular structure, and P N.M.R. characteristics of di-μ-chlorodi(propionyl)bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)diplatinum(III). Trans-influence of ligands in binuclear complexes

The known complex, $\text{trans}$-(η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂(CF₃C₂CF₃) is formed in high yield from (η-C₅H₅)Rh(CO)₂ and CF₃FCCF₃ at 100°. The less stable $\text{cis}$-isomer of the complex is obtained in low yield from the same reaction. The infrared, ¹H, ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectra of the two isomers are compared. The $\text{trans}$-isomer undergoes CO scrambling in solution at room temperature, and the variable temperature ¹³C NMR spectra are consistent with a pairwise bridge opening and closing mechanism. The mechanism is extended to account for the isomerization of $\text{cis}$ to $\text{trans}$ isomer, whihc has a half-life of 12 h at room temperature. The ¹³C spectrum indicates that the $\text{cis}$-isomer is static in solution at room temperature. The $\text{trans}$-isomer is reversibly protonated by protonic acids, and BF₄^? and PF₆^? salts of the protonated species can be isolated. The spectroscopic properties of these salts are consistent with protonation at one of the alkynyl-carbons, but it is not possible to distinguish between two alternative structures for the complex cation.Treatment of (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂(CF₃C₂CF₃) with (η-C₅H₅)Rh(CO)₂ gives the trinuclear complex (η-C₅H₅)₃Rh₃(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) in 80% yield. The analogoug but-2-yne complex is formed from (η-C₅H₅)₃Rh₃(CO)₃ and MeCCMe. The infrared, ¹H, ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectra indicate that the hexafluorobut-2-yne complex exists in two different structural arrangements in solution. One has an edge bridging, and the other a face bridging carbonyl. The proportion of the isomers is affected by the solvent polarity. The spectra of the but-2-yne complex indicate it is fluxional at room temperature, and has a face bridging structure in solution regardless of the polarity of the solvent. Reversible protonation of the hexafluorobut-2-yne complex occurs in protonic acids, and the salt [(η-C₅H₅)₃Rh₃(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃)H]⁺[BF₄]^?,H₂O can be isolated. The spectroscopic properties of this complex are consistent with a structure incorporating an edge-bridging carbonyl, and probably, an edge-bridging hydride ligand.
