Trimethylsilylation - Aid in NMR Analysis of Oligosaccharides. Assigment of 29Si and 13C NMR Spectra of Trimethylsilylated Methyl β-D-Xylobiosides by 2D NMR

The ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectra of methyl β-D-xylopyranoside and three methyl β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-D-xylopyranosides have been measured and assigned by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. According to the determined proton-proton coupling constants, the ring conformer ratio is essential ly the same in the studied compounds. The assigned chemical shifts provide correct substituent chemical shifts for assignments in the spectra of higher trimethylsilylated xylooligosaccharides. Heteronuclear chemical shift correlated 2D NMR spectroscopy is proven to be a usable experimental method for ²⁹Si NMR line assignment in carbohydrates. The assigned silicon shifts identify the site of glycosidation.     

Stereochemistry of internucleotide bond formation by the H-phosphonate method. Part 3: Investigations on a mechanism of asymmetric induction

The stereochemistry of H-phosphonate diester bond formation (including internucleotide ones) with ribonucleoside H-phosphonates as substrates has been investigated using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the reactions investigated owe their stereoselectivity to a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation. The absolute configurations of the compounds involved in the reaction pathways were tentatively assigned on the basis of their ³¹P NMR chemical shifts and their correctness was verified for the H-phosphonic–pivalic mixed anhydrides and H-phosphonate aryl esters.

1H and 13C NMR spectral data of bioactive cage‐like polycyclic compounds

Bioactive cage‐like polycyclic compounds have attracted the attention of several research groups because of their unique appearance and their biological activities. Their structures were established on the basis of ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data. The ¹H and ¹³C signal assignments and most homonuclear hydrogen coupling constants were assigned by use of techniques such as 1D ¹H and ¹³C NMR and 2D gCOSY, non‐edited gHSQC and gHMBC. The gNOESY experiments proved the endo‐stereochemistry. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Carbon-13 NMR Spectra of Peracetylated Derivatives of Methyl L-Arabinofuranoside and Oligosaccharides Related to Arabinoxylan

Abstract

The ¹³C NMR signals of methyl tri-O-acetyl-l-arabinofuranosides were assigned on the basis of heteronuclear shift correlated NMR spectra. From the enzymic digest of barley-hull arabinoxylan two oligosaccharides, i.e., α-l-Araf-(1→3)-β-d-xylp-(1→4)-d-xylp and α-l-Araf-(1→3)-β-d-xylp-(1→4)-β-d-xylp-(1→4)-d-xylp were obtained. The NMR spectra of their per-O-acetylated derivatives were assigned, and discussed.

Raman and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy of framework materials containing three-membered rings

Raman and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopies are evaluated for the identification of three-membered rings (3MR) in framework oxide materials. Raman and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectra from the 3MR-containing materials euclase, phenakite, clinohedrite, willemite, lovdarite, VPI-7, ZSM-18 and dipotassium zinc tetrasilicate are presented. The Raman spectra from these materials do not exhibit common bands representing vibrational modes assignable to individual 3MR. The dense beryllosilicate and zincosilicate minerals exhibit ²⁹Si MAS NMR resonances indicative of silicon positioned in 3MR while the molecular sieves lovdarite and VPI-7 give ²⁹Si MAS NMR resonances that can be assigned to silicons located at the center of “spiro-5” units that are constructed from two 3MR. Silicon atoms located in isolated 3MR in the molecular sieves ZSM-18 and dipotassium zinc tetrasilicate do not exhibit ²⁹Si MAS NMR resonances that can be distinguished from those assigned to silicons residing in 4MR and larger.The ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectra from the new materials VPI-8, VPI-9 and VPI-10 do not exhibit ²⁹Si MAS NMR resonances indicative of “spiro-5” units. The presence of isolated 3MR in these materials cannot be ruled out from the ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopic results.     

13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Strukturaufklärung von Polysacchariden und deren Methylderivaten

The ¹³C NMR spectra of some polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives have been analysed. The numbers and positions of the assigned ¹³C NMR signals give some information about the structure of the monomer unit and the positions of the glycosidic linkage but no information about the anomeric configuration. In this case the ¹J(C-1, H) coupling constants make it possible to identify the anomeric configuration, because the mean differences of the J values for the α- and β-anomers are 12 Hz (at least 5 Hz) with the higher values for the α-anomers.     

A 15N NMR investigation of some azolopyridines

¹⁵N NMR chemical shift data are presented for 14 azolopyridines, together with the results of INDO/S-SOS calculations of nitrogen shieldings. Previous ¹⁴N NMR results for some of these compounds are reinterpreted. The ¹⁴N data and their assignments are shown to be reliable for the indolizine nitrogen atom from arguments based on relative line widths. The pyridine-type nitrogens are more reliably assigned from the ¹⁵N spectra combined with the results of the INDO/S-SOS calculations for individual molecules. A combination of ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N NMR spectra, together with the shielding calculations, provides a basis for unambiguous assignments of all the various nitrogen environments considered.     

Carbon-13 NMR study of isoxazolopyridine systems

The ¹³C NMR spectra of all azabenzenoid isoxazolopyridines and some of their chloro derivatives are discussed. All ¹³C resonances were unambiguously assigned by means of gated decoupled spectra, from which one-bond and long-range ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants have been determined from line splittings.     

Synthesis and conformational properties of substituted 1,4,2-oxazasilinanes: low temperature NMR study and quantum chemical calculations

A number of N-substituted 2,2-dimethyl-1,4,2-oxazasilinanes 1 were synthesized and studied by variable temperature dynamic ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, room temperature ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations at the DFT and MP2 levels of theory. Both the preferred conformers were assigned and the barrier to the ring inversion of the saturated six-membered ring determined. From 1 the corresponding methyl iodide salts were produced, their structure studied by X-ray analysis and found to be in excellent agreement with the results of the theoretical calculations.     

New Epoxydammarane Triterpenes from Salvia santolinifolia

Three new 20,24‐epoxydammarane triterpenes, santolins A–C ( 1 – 3 ), were isolated from the AcOEt‐soluble fraction of the MeOH extract of Salvia santolinifolia (whole plant). Their structures were assigned based on ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR (DEPT), and 2D‐NMR analyses, in combination with HR‐MS experiments and comparison with literature data of related compounds.     

1H‐, 13C‐, and 15N‐NMR chemical shifts for selected glucosides and ribosides of aromatic cytokinins

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances of 16 purine glucosides were assigned by a combination of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR experiments, including gs‐COSY, gs‐HSQC, and gs‐HMBC, in order to characterize the effect of substituent and the position of glucose unit on the NMR chemical shifts. In addition, ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts for selected derivatives were investigated by using ¹H? ¹⁵N chemical shift correlation techniques. To map the influence of sugar moiety on the directly bonded nitrogen atom, selected N⁹‐glucosides and their ribose analogs were compared. Characteristic long‐range ¹H? ¹⁵N coupling constants, measured by using ¹H? ¹⁵N gradient‐selected single‐quantum multiple bond correlation (GSQMBC), are also reported and discussed. All compounds investigated here belong to cytokinins, an important group of plant hormones. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of signals in the solution 1H NMR spectrum of poly(isobutylene‐co‐p‐methylstyrene) and their utility

Poly(isobutylene‐co‐p‐methylstyrene) is an important precursor to Exxpro™ elastomers. A previous report detailed the characterization of both the proton and the carbon NMR spectra of the copolymer. 1 However, several resonances in the proton NMR spectrum of the copolymer were not assigned. Specifically, the proton methine resonance of the BSB triad sequence is now identified and used to calculate BSB triad contribution to the copolymer microstructure. This report describes the assignment of this resonance and other resonances associated with microstructural sequence distribution around p‐methylstyrene. The proton NMR signals of interest resonate at 2.8 ppm and 2.5 ppm in a typical spectrum for poly(isobutylene‐co‐p‐methylstyrene). The nature of these resonances were determined by preparation and characterization of specifically deuterated poly(isobutylene‐co‐p‐methylstyrene)s employing both one and two dimensional NMR techniques. The 2.8 ppm signal is assigned as the methine proton of a p‐methylstyrene incorporated between two isobutylene units (the BSB triad). The signal at 2.5 ppm is assigned to the meso‐BSS triad. Determination of these resonances allows for rapid evaluation of isolated p‐methylstyrene units (BSB triads) present in the copolymer using only ¹H NMR. The utility of this technique is demonstrated by comparing BSB triad values determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR analysis. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 1680–1686, 2000     

Structure elucidation and complete NMR spectral assignments of new furostanol glycosides from Solanum torvum

Two new furostanol glycosides, torvosides O (1) and P (2), were isolated from leaves of Solanum torvum. Their structures were completely and unambiguously assigned by one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, TOCSY, HSQC, ROESY and HMBC), ESI‐MS spectrometry and chemical methods.

13C NMR spectroscopic study of epoxidized 1,4-polyisoprene and 1,4-polybutadiene

Partly epoxidized cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes and cis-and trans-1,4-polybutadienes were prepared, and their ¹³C NMR spectra examined. All the prominent resonances in the spectra of the epoxidized polymers were assigned by using lanthanide shift reagent and off-resonance decoupling experiments. A ¹³C NMR method of quantitative assessment of the epoxide content was developed following determination of relative spin-lattice relaxation time (T₁) and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) parameters of the various carbons in the epoxidized polyisoprenes and polybutadienes.     

Complete assignments of NMR data of salens and their cobalt (III) complexes

Salens, derived from 1,2‐ethylenediamine and salicylaldehydes, have been widely used as ligands for metal complexes which have been showing enormous potential in chemical properties of asymmetric catalysts as well as biological properties such as anticancer agents. Almost all of the salen–metal complexes with their corresponding metal (II)‐complexes show the evidences of chelation of two oxygens in salens. However, several metal (II) complexes, especially cobalt (II) complexes, could not show NMR spectra due to their paramagnetism. Recently, it has been reported that one of the cobalt (III) complexes was used for NMR spectroscopy to evaluate its stereoselectivity as a catalyst. Even though many salen ligands are known, their NMR data are not assigned completely. It was possible that modification in northern part of salen with 2‐hydroxyphenyl group afforded another oxygen chelation site in salen ligand. Here we report that synthesis and full NMR assignment of new salen ligands, which form meso 1,2‐bis(2‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine) and their cobalt (III) complexes. The assignments of ¹H and ¹³C NMR data obtained in this experiment can help us to predict the NMR data of other salen ligands. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
