Saturated amine oxides: part 10. hydroacridines: part 32. linear 17O/13C and 13C/13C chemical shift correlations between saturated azaheterocyclic N‐methylamine N‐oxides,and the methiodides of their parent amines

Two kinds of good linear correlations were found between the chemical shifts of saturated six‐membered azaheterocyclic N‐methylamine N‐oxides and the chemical shifts of the methiodides of their parent amines. One of the correlations occurs between the ¹⁷O chemical shift of the N⁺―O^– oxygen in the N‐oxides and the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group analogously situated in the appropriate methiodide (r = 0.9778). This correlation enables unambiguous configuration assignment of the N⁺―O^– bond, even if the experimentally observed ¹⁷O chemical shift of only one N‐epimer is available, provided the ¹³C chemical shifts of both N⁺―CH₃ groups in the methiodide are known and assigned; furthermore, it can be used also for the estimation of ¹⁷O chemical shifts of the N⁺―O^– oxygens in N‐epimeric pairs of N‐oxides, for which observed ¹⁷O data hardly become available. The second correlation is observed between the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group in the N‐oxides and the ¹³C chemical shift of the N⁺―CH₃ methyl group analogously situated in the appropriate methiodide (r = 0.9785). It can be used for safe configuration assignment of the N⁺―CH₃ group and, indirectly, also of the N⁺―O^– bond in an amine N‐oxide, even if no ¹⁷O NMR data, and the ¹³C chemical shift of only one N‐epimer is available.

13C NMR studies of conformational isomerism in thioureas: Signal assignments via chemical shift and population trends

The 22.63 MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of a series of alkylated thioureas are reported. Characteristic Z and E spectral regions were found for the ¹³C ? S resonances. The two regions were generally found to be non-overlapping for the series, with the region of the Z, Z resonances occurring more downfield than those of either the Z, E or E, Z conformers in the cases of 1,3-disubstitution. The Z, Z configuration became favored and the relative chemical shift difference (Rδ) increased linearly with increasing substituent size. At 217 K, hindered internal rotation caused a multiplicity of resonances which were normally single peaks in the broad band ¹H decoupled 62.86 MHz ¹³C spectrum of CH₃NHCSNH(CH₂)₂NHCSNHCH₃ (2MTE) at room temperature. The trends in chemical shifts and populations were employed to assign tentatively the resonances of five of the six possible configurational isomers contributing to the 2MTE spectra at 217 K. The isomer populations are given. The ¹³C NMR spectra reported here led to signal assignments of Z and E isomers which supported prior ¹H NMR results and contradicted more recent results of another ¹³C NMR study of N-methylthiourea. The major peak of the exchange doublet occurs at relatively high field strengths in both methanol-d₅.     

NMR studies of viomycin

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of antibiotic Viomycin sulphate and its constituent aminoacids in H₂O and D₂O were examined in a wide range of pH values. The spectra were analysed by proton spin-spin decoupling experiments and measurements of the relative intensities of the resonance and chemical shift values. Exchange experiments were also carried out and an almost complete assignment of the resonances of the spectra was possible. The data obtained are discussed in terms of possible structures for Viomycin and the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Some information about the conformation of the molecule is also given. A tentative assignment of the ¹³C spectrum of Viomycin is given and the experimental ¹³C chemical shift values compare well with the theoretical ones evaluated by Grant's rule.     

Cis-trans isomerization and 13C-NMR chemical shift of polyphenylacetylene

Before and after cis-trans isomerization, the observed ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts of poly(phenylacetylene) (PPA) in the solid state were investigated on the basis of ¹³C-NMR chemical shift calculations within AM1 for the cis-transoidal and deflected trans-transoidal forms. Two ¹³C-resonance peaks in the observed CP/MAS ¹³C-spectrum were assigned theoretically by the ¹³C chemical shifts of the main and side chains. After thermal isomerization, the ¹³C peak of the main chain for PPA shifted upfield by 3.5 ppm, in contrast to the downfield shift of the ¹³C peak for polyacetylene. This upfield shift of trans-PPA largely was attributed to the increases of the excitation energy from the ground state to the lowest φ_π–π* state in the paramagnetic terms of ¹³C chemical shift on the main chain carbons with the increase in deflected angle τ of 0 to 80°. The ±80° deflected conformation of the trans-transoidal chain due to the cis-trans isomerization was confirmed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 37: 1657–1664, 1999     

13C NMR investigation of tautomeric and acid-base equilibria of pyrazolone T and three analogs

Pyrazolone T and three derivatives have been characterized by ¹³C and, in part, ¹⁵N nmr at several pH values. The ¹³C chemical shifts have been assigned at, or near, the equivalence points and pK_a values of these four compounds. Closely situatued quaternary carbon signals were assigned by means of a heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (FLOCK) experiment which is sensitive to, and was optimized for, 3-bond C-H couplings. The ¹³C chemical shift data indicate the existence of both tautomeric and acid-base equilibria and demonstrate that the four congeners exist in surprisingly different forms at certain common pH values.     

The effect of solvents on the 13C NMR chemical shifts of the carbonyl carbon and the rotational barriers of N,N-dimethylbenzamide

The ¹³C solvent induced chemical shifts (SICS) of the carbonyl carbon and the thermodynamic barriers to rotation about the C? N bond of N,N-dimethylbenzamide are linearly related to the solvent parameter, E_T(30). A multi-parametric solvent parameter approach indicates that the SICS are influenced equally by polar effects and hydrogen-bond donor effects. Rotational barriers for N,N-dimethylbenzamide may, in principle, be determined by measurement of the ¹³C chemical shift of the carbonyl carbon in a particular solvent.     

13C chemical shift tensors in MOF α-Mg3(HCOO)6: Which component is more sensitive to host-guest interaction?

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of important porous materials with many current and potential applications. Their applications almost always involve the interaction between host framework and guest species. Therefore, understanding of host–guest interaction in MOF systems is fundamentally important. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is an excellent technique for investigating host–guest interaction as it provides information complementary to that obtained from X-ray diffraction. In this work, using MOF α-Mg₃(HCOO)₆ as an example, we demonstrated that ¹³C chemical shift tensor of organic linker can be utilized to probe the host–guest interaction in MOFs. Obtaining ¹³C chemical shift tensor components (δ₁₁, δ₂₂, and δ₃₃, where δ₁₁ ≥ δ₂₂ ≥ δ₃₃) in this MOF is particularly challenging as there are six coordinatively equivalent but crystallographically non-equivalent carbons in the unit cell with very similar local coordination environment. Two-dimensional magic-angle-turning experiments were employed to measure the ¹³C chemical shift tensors of each individual crystallographically non-equivalent carbon in three microporous α-Mg₃(HCOO)₆ samples with different guest species. The results indicate that the δ₂₂ component (with its direction approximately being co-planar with the formate anion and perpendicular to the C−H bond) is more sensitive to the adsorbate molecules inside the MOF channel due to the weak C−H···O hydrogen bonding or the ring current effect of benzene. The ¹³C isotropic chemical shift, on the other hand, seems much less sensitive to the subtle changes in the local environment around formate linker induced by adsorption. The approach described in this study may be used in future studies on host–guest interaction within MOFs.     

Arylthallium trifluoroacetates carbon-13 and fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance: The substituent effect of the bis(trifluoroacetato)- thallium(III) group

¹³C NMR data for a series of arylthallium trifluoroacetates (ArTlX₂, X = OCOCF₃) are reported and assigned. The range of carbon—thallium couplings to be expected, the dependence on the disposition of coupled nuclei, and chemical shift effects are discussed. The Tl(OCOCF₃)₂ group is shown to be a powerful electron withdrawing group, from both the ¹³C data and ¹⁹F substituent chemical shifts of the p-fluorophenyl derivative.     

Carbon-13 kinetic isotope effects in the decarbonylation of liquid formic acid of natural isotopic composition initiated by phosphorus pentoxide

The isotopic composition of the consecutive fractions of carbon monoxide produced in the decarbonylation of liquid formic acid of natural isotopic composition initiated by addition of phosphorus pentoxide has been measured in the temperature interval 19–100°C and the observed gradual decrease of the _PDB values and the increase of thek ₁₂/k ₁₃ ratio of the isotopic specific rate constants (KIE values) for each next fraction of CO have been interpreted in terms of conclusions presented in the first paper from this series¹ concerning the decarbonylation of HCOOH (F.A.) in concentrated and diluted with water phosphoric acid media. The initial fast dehydration of F.A. by phosphoric anhydride, P₂O₅, proceeds at room temperture with about 1% carbon-13 KIE. The (k ₁₂/k ₁₃) values increase with time, as the decarbonylation slows down due to the hydration of phosphorus pentoxide with water generated in dehydration of HCOOH and reach the plateau values characteristic for each reaction temperature. These increasing very slowly with reaction times at intermediate temperatures maximum values of (k ₁₂/k ₁₃) ratios are quite close to values of¹³C KIE observed in the decarbonylation of pure F.A. (k ₁₂/k ₁₃=1.0443 at 81°C). Addition of water to liquid F.A. at 90°C and at 100°C caused the further increase of the¹³C KIE. The detailed discussion of the¹³C KIE in the HCOOH–P₂O₅ system has been given.     

High resolution CPMAS 13C NMR of organometallic solids. Observation of J coupling to tin

Chemical shift and ¹J(^117,119Sn, ¹³C) data from cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) proton-decoupled solid-state ¹³C NMR experiments are given for the methyltin carbon in (Me₂SnS)₃, Me₃SnOAc, Me₂S(acetylacetonate)₂, Me₂SnCl₂· 2(dimethylsulfoxide), and amorphous (Me₂SnO)_n. The relationship between the magnitude of the coupling constant and the coordination at tin is examined by reference to X-ray structure data. The tin-methyl ¹³C chemical shift was sensitive to slight variations in bond angles and bond lengths. The presence of isotopically abundant NMR-active nuclei in the molecule broadens lines, and can prevent resolution of the J coupled interaction.     

Characterization of organic substrates bound to cross-linked polystyrenes by 13C NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³C NMR spectra of a wide variety of organic substrates bound to 2% cross-linked polystyrenes may be obtained routinely, provided the resins can be sufficiently swollen. The ¹³C chemical shifts of polymer-bound trityl alcohol, polymer-bound monotrityl ethers of the symmertrical diols HO (CH₂)_nOH (n=2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10), and some related intermediates in the solid phase synthesis of insect pheromones are presented. ¹³C shift additivity correlations, differing little from those in free trityl ethers, are drawn.     

Multinuclear two-dimensional NMR: Assignments of natural abundance polypeptide 13C, 1H and 15N chemical shifts and demonstration of isomer interconversion

The polypeptide carbobenzoxy-glycyl-L -prolyl-L -leucyl-L -alanyl-L -proline (0.2 M in DMSO-d₆) was investigated using ¹³C, ¹H and ¹⁵N NMR in natural abundance at 4.7 tesla. The existence of cis–trans-Gly-Pro and -Ala-Pro bonds permits up to four isomers, and all four were observed (in a 60:30:7:3 ratio). ¹³C shifts of the proline β-CH₂ resonances are consistent only with the 60% form being trans–trans. The 30% form is either trans–cis or cis–trans (order as above) and was tentatively assigned as cis-trans on the basis of relaxation behavior. Refocused INEPT studies aided the ¹³C assignments. The ¹⁵N data were obtained using both NOE and INEPT excitation, with signals evident for the three major isomers. The spectra were analysed by starting from the ¹³C data, which were assigned based on known regularities in peptide spectra. A ¹³C? ¹H heteronuclear two-dimensional chemical shift correlation experiment allowed direct assignment of proton shifts for major and minor isomers. The NH proton shifts were assigned by running a homonuclear two-dimensional chemical shift correlation experiment and noting the correlation with the previously assigned α-CH protons. The ¹⁵N resonances were then assigned from a ¹⁵N? ¹H heteronuclear two-dimensional chemical shift correlation experiment, relating the ¹⁵N signals directly to the NH proton resonances. Isomer interconversion between the two major isomers was demonstrated by performing a magnetization transfer homonuclear 2D experiment. Off-diagonal intensity was noted relating the major and minor isomer alanine NH proton, as well as for the major and minor isomer leucine NH protons.     

1H-, 13C- UND 77SE-NMR-STUDIE AN SCHWEFEL- UND SELEN-HALTIGEN CYCLISCHEN 6π-KATIONEN

Abstract

The ¹H, ¹³C and ⁷⁷Se NMR chemical shifts for 1,3-dithiolium, 1,3-thiaselenolium and 1,3-diselenolium tetrafluoroborates which are unsubstituted in the 4 and 5 positions and are unsubstituted or contain ethylseleno, ethylthio or morpholino groups in the 2 positions are reported. The dependence of the chemical shifts on the substituents and ring hetero atoms are discussed and shift increments given. The study includes the ¹³C shift effects for the following series of compounds: (a) thiotropone, ethylthiotropylium cation and tropylium cation; the iso-π-electronic heterocycles (b) thiopyrane-2-thione, 2-ethyl-thiothiopyrylium cation and the thiopyrylium cation, (c) 1,2-dithiole-3-thione, 3-ethylthio-1,2-dithiolium cation and the 1,2-dithiolium cation, and (d) 1,3-dithiole-2-thione, 2-ethylthio-1,3-dithiolium cation and the 1,3-dithiolium cation. Linear correlations between δ (¹H) and δ (¹³C), δ (⁷⁷Se) and δ (¹³C) and δ (¹³C) and δ (¹³C) (i) of neighbouring ring positions and (ii) between ring and substituent atoms proves, that changes in the electron density distribution of the ring systems is the intrinsic reason for the shift effects discussed. In particular the ⁷⁷Se/¹³C shift correlations show, that δ (⁷⁷Se) of double coordinated selenium atoms is determined by the 〈r ^?3〉_4p term in the contribution of paramagnetic screening σ_p(⁷⁷Se).

Es werden die ¹H-,¹³C- und ⁷⁷Se-NMR-chemischen Verschiebungen der in 4/5-Position unsubstituierten 1,3-Dithiolium-, 1,3-Thiaselenolium- und 1,3-Diselenolium-tetrafluoroborate, die in 2-Stellung unsubstituiert sind bzw. den Ethylseleno-, Ethylthio- oder Morpholinrest tragen, mitgeteilt und in Abhängigkeit von den Substituenten und den Ring-Heteroatomen diskutiert.

In die Betrachtung einbezogen sind die ¹³C-Verschiebungseffekte beim Übergang von den Thionen über die SEt-substituierten Kationen zu den Kation-Grundverbindungen in der Reihe Thiotropon/Ethyl-thiotropyliumion/Tropyliumion und der jeweiligen iso-π-elektronischen Schwefelheterocyclen Thiopyran-2-thion/2-Ethylthiothiopyryliumion/Thiopyryliumion, 1,2-Dithiol-3-thion/3-Ethylthio-1,2-dithioliumion/1,2-Dithioliumion und 1,3-Dithiol-2-thion/2-Ethylthio-1,3-dithioliumion/1,3-Dithioliumion.

Aufgefundene lineare Korrelationen zwischen δ (¹H) und δ (¹³C), δ (⁷⁷Se) und δ (¹³C) sowie δ (¹³C) und δ (¹³C) sowohl benachbarter Ringpositionen als auch zwischen Ring- und Substituentenatomen beweisen, daß als Ursache der diskutierten Verschiebungseffekte im Wesentlichen Änderungen der Elektronendichteverteilung der Ringsysteme anzusehen sind. Speziell die ⁷⁷Se/¹³C-Verschiebungskorrelationen zeigen, daß für δ (⁷⁷Se) zweifach koordinierter Selenatome der 〈r ^?3〉_4p-Term im σ_p (⁷⁷Se)-Verschiebungsbeitrag entscheidend ist.     

18O-isotope effect in 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: 5—Substituent group electronic effects in substituted acetophenones

A series of para- and meta-substituted acetophenones were prepared which were highly labeled with ¹⁸O at the carbonyl function. The natural abundance ¹³C NMR spectra of the compounds were recorded and the ¹⁸O-isotope-induced shifts of the carbonyl carbon were measured in order to determine possible substituent group electronic effects on the ¹⁸O-isotope shift. The isotope shifts were found to be correlated with a number of properties which demonstrate the molecular basis of the isotope shift. Good correlations were obtained for the isotope shift as a function of σ_p⁺, the carbonyl stretching frequency, the carbonyl group bond order, the n→π^**transition of the carbonyl group and the chemical shift of the ipso carbon. In contrast, no correlation was observed between the magnitude of the ¹⁸O-induced isotope shift and the ¹³C chemical shift of the carbonyl carbon. These properties are discussed in connection with the theoretical basis of the isotope shift.     

15N-NMR. Studies of Aminopyridines,Aminopyrimidines and of Some Diazine N-Oxides

¹⁵N-NMR. spectra of mono- and diaminopyridines, and mono-, di- and triaminopyrimidines including trimethoprim and other dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors have been studied in neutral and acidic media. Complete chemical shift assignments are given. Ring-nitrogen shifts are discussed in terms of β-, χ- and δ-substituent effects of amino and alkyl groups. Protonation states in TFA- and FSO₃H-solution and protonation increments for the ¹⁵N-shifts of ring and amino N-atoms are determined. A linear correlation is observed between amino substituent effects (Δδ(¹⁵N)) on the ring N-atom in aminopyridines and corresponding Δδ (¹³C) values in aminobenzenes and, similarly, between Δδ(¹⁵N) values in aminopyrimidines and Δδ(¹³C) values in aminopyridines. Assignment of the ¹⁵N-NMR. spectra of pyrimidine N-oxides, pyrazine N-oxides and pyridazine N-oxides is achieved by comparison with ¹⁴N-NMR. data and with the aid of Yb(fod)₃-induced shifts. One-bond ¹⁵N, ¹H-coupling constants are reported for aminopyridines and aminopyrimidines and discussed in terms of conjugative interaction between NH₂-group and ring system.     

Direct Monitoring of γ‐Glutamyl Transpeptidase Activity In Vivo Using a Hyperpolarized 13C‐Labeled Molecular Probe

The γ‐glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme plays a central role in glutathione homeostasis. Direct detection of GGT activity could provide critical information for the diagnosis of several pathologies. We propose a new molecular probe, γ‐Glu‐[1‐¹³C]Gly, for monitoring GGT activity in vivo by hyperpolarized (HP) ¹³C magnetic resonance (MR). The properties of γ‐Glu‐[1‐¹³C]Gly are suitable for in vivo HP ¹³C metabolic analysis since the chemical shift between γ‐Glu‐[1‐¹³C]Gly and its metabolic product, [1‐¹³C]Gly, is large (4.3 ppm) and the T₁ of both compounds is relatively long (30 s and 45 s, respectively, in H₂O at 9.4 T). We also demonstrate that γ‐Glu‐[1‐¹³C]Gly is highly sensitive to in vivo modulation of GGT activity induced by the inhibitor acivicin.     

Hetero-“Tickling” am A3X-System von 13CH312CN,eine Bestimmungsmethode hoher Genauigkeit von Methylkohlenstoffverschiebungen

Heteronuclear spin tickling experiments in the degenerate A₃X spin system of a ¹³CH₃ group have proved to be suitable for accurate carbon shift determinations in methyl groups. A weak perturbation of one of the ¹³C quadruplet lines splits both proton doublet lines into a sub-triplet with the relative signal strengths depending on whether an outer or inner ¹³C line is irradiated. Deviation from exact resonance with one of the ¹³C transitions modifies the relative intensities, and finally further splitting of the outer subtriplet lines occurs in accordance with theory. The amount of this additional splitting is equal to the difference between the double resonance frequency and the ¹³C transition frequency to be measured. Signal distortions observed when the double resonance spectra are recorded in the INDOR sweep mode have to be ascribed to the fact that the tickling effect competes with the generation of transient nutations.     

NMR-Untersuchungen an Dicyclopentadienderivaten. IV—1-Syn/anti-Epimere von endo-Dicyclopentadienderivaten

The syn/anti-arrangement of some substituents R in position 1 of endo-dicyclopentadiene derivatives is investigated by ¹H-and ¹³C n.m.r. spectroscopy. The HH-coupling constants of the epimeric alcohols 2 and 3 are determined by paramagnetic shift experiments [Eu(fod)₃] and the observed relative paramagnetic shifts ΔEu used for the determination of the configuration. The increasing steric compression in the syn-epimers is well reflected by the ¹H- and ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of cadmium(II) complexes of thiones and thiocyanate

Cadmium(II) complexes of thiones and thiocyanate, [(>C=S)₂Cd(SCN)₂], have been prepared and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. An upfield shift in the >C=S resonance of thiones in the ¹³C NMR and downfield shift in N–H resonance in ¹H NMR are consistent with sulfur coordination to cadmium(II). The presence of ν(N–H) of thiones in IR spectra of the complexes indicates the thione forms of the ligands in the solid state; some contribution of the thiolate form was observed in one complex. The appearance of a band around 2100 cm^?1 in IR and a resonance around 132 ppm in ¹³C NMR indicates the binding of thiocyanate to cadmium(II).
