Synthesis of 13c-labelled [s]-proline and its conformational analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance

In order to analyze completely the ring conformation of [S]-Proline (l-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid) this compound has been synthesized with its C_δ atom enriched at 90% in ¹³C. The ¹H-¹H, ¹³C-¹H, ¹³C-¹³C vicinal coupling constants measured at several pH values describe well the geometry of the thiazolidine ring. The results suggest that the ring has an average planar conformation only in a narrow range of pH close to the pK of the amine group. Above and below this pH the ring tends to adopt preferentially the S_γendo and S_γexo puckered conformations respectively. It is concluded that a good correlation exists between the value of the dihedral angle ø and the character S_γendo or S_γexo of the ring.     

NMR study (1H, 13C and 29Si) of (CH3)4−x Si(CHCH2)x compounds where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

The ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectra of the various methylvinylsilanes have been analysed with the aid of a special simulation program. From considerations of the chemical shifts and of the coupling constants ^2,3j_¹H-¹H, ¹J_¹³C-¹H, ¹J_{²⁹Si-¹³C} and ²J_{²⁹Si-C-¹H} it is shown that a mesomeric —M effect from the vinyl group to the Me—Si group is important, in very good agreement with previously published PES results [1–3]. The mesomeric interaction in this series is ascribed to a {d, σ^*—π} hyperconjugation in accordance with theoretical considerations [4].     

The dependence of 13C-1H coupling constants on CCC bond angles

The relationship between one-bond ¹³C-¹H coupling constants and internuclear CCC bond angles (_n) in hydrocarbons of the type R₂CH₂ is best approximated by a quadratic expression.     

29Si and 13C NMR Studies of organofunctional di- and trisilanes

A series of di- and trisilanes of general structure Ph₃SiSiMe₂R and (Ph₃Si)₂SiR′R″ were synthesized, and the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts and one-bond siliconsilicon coupling constants (¹J_SiSi) were measured. The coupling constants of the disilanes were found to be primarily dependent upon the inductive effect of the alkyl group, R, as measured by the Taft o^★ constant. In both series of compounds, increasing alkyl substitution at silicon led to a decrease in ¹J_SiSi.     

Microwave spectra of tetrahydroselenophene-α13C, -β13C and molecular ring structure

Microwave spectra of isotopic species α-¹³C and β-¹³C of tetrahydroselenophene molecules have been investigated and rotational constants determined: A = 5608.98 Mc, B = 2819.532 Mc, C = 2022.624 Mc forα-¹³C isotopic species and A = 5695.94 Mc, B = 2770.714 Mc, C = 2009.166 Mc for β-¹³C isotopic species. The r_s-ring structure was found to be Se-C₂ = 1.963 Å, C₂-C₃ = 1.549 Å, C₃-C₄ = 1.527 Å, ∠C₅SeC₂ = 90° 44', ∠SeC₂C₃ = 104° 58', ∠C₂C₃C₄ = 106° 52', the angle of twist = 29° 44'.     

Deuterium-isotopieeffekte auf die 13C-chemischen verschiebungen und kohlenstoff-deuterium kopplungskonstanten in deuterierten verbindungen

The isotope effects on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants (¹³C¹H and ¹³C¹H) have been determined by pulse Fourier transform ¹³C NMR investigation at 22·63 MHz for more than 30 common deuterated and protonated solvents. The observed isotope effects correlate with hybridization and electron withdrawal at the coupling carbon within the series of comparable compounds. In agreement with MO-theoretical calculations a linear correlation between the J_CD values of CD_x groups and the J_CH values of the corresponding CH_x groups was found. The experimentally determined J_CD values show an average deviation from the calculated line J_CD = (γ_D/γ_H)J_CH = 0·154 ×J_CH on the order of± 1 Hz.     

Die metall-kohlenstoff-bindung in carben- und carbin-komplexen. aussagen der 183W13C-kopplungen

The nuclear spin coupling constants¹J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and in some cases ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and ³J(¹⁸³W¹³C) are determined for 10 tungsten carbene and 9 tungsten carbyne complexes. ¹J is of analytical importance, being characteristically greater for WC than for WC bonds. This is due to different hybridisation at the carbon atom, and provides information about bond angles and polarities of WC and WCR units.Substituents R and R' in (CO)₅WCRR' and X(CO)₄WCR as well as the halogens X lead to minor changes in ¹J. These changes are comparable to those of ¹J(¹³C¹H) in correspondingly substituted methanes. Unexpectedly ¹J in_ creases with X = Cl, Br, I. ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) though being much smaller than ¹J reflects different hydridisation at the β carbon atom.     

13C13C spin spin coupling constants in azulenes

[4-¹³C]- Azulene and [4-¹³C]-4-methylazulene have been synthesized. The ¹³C¹³C spin coupling constants have been measured and interpreted in terms of πMO theory.     

The conformation of succinic acid in aqueous solution studied by 1h and 13c nmr

The vicinal H-H coupling constants of succinic acid were obtained as a function of pH and related to its conformation. The syn-clinal arrangement of the two CO₂H groups appears as more stable than the anti-periplanar conformation at variance with previous work but in agreement with recent data on similar molecules. The vicinal¹³CO₂H-¹H coupling constant was also obtained and is found to support that conclusion. The analysis was extended to solvents of variable dielectric constant and no significant effect was found.     

NMR study (1H, 13C and 29Si) of the methylallylsilanes

¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR data for the compounds (CH₃)_xSi(CH₂CHCH₂)_4-x are reported. The ¹H resonances from the π system are indicative of the electron-supplying inductive effect (+I) of the (CH₃SiCH₂, moiety but the corresponding ¹³C_π chemical shifts seem to be influenced by a sterically induced polarization of the C-H bonds. The ¹³C_All, ¹³C_Me and ²⁹Si chemical shift data reveal an important neighbour anisotropy contribution originating from the π system. Ultraviolet study of the compounds mentioned above gives indication of a σ—π conjugation in accordance with PES and ab initio results [1—5]. The trend observed in the various coupling constants is too small to be Interpreted.     

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C-<Superscript>13</Superscript>C spin-spin coupling constants in structural studies: XL. Conformational analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-vinylpyrroles

Conformational analysis of ten N-vinylpyrroles was performed on the basis of experimental ¹³C-¹H and ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants and those calculated by high-level quantum-chemical methods, and principal relations between J _CC and J _CH values and stereochemical structure of these compounds were revealed.     

13C NMR coupling constants in delocalized organo-alkali metal compounds. Models of polymerization systems

2,5-Diphenyl-2,5-dipotassiohexane, 2-lithio-4,4-dimethyl-2-phenylpentane, and 1-lithio-2,5,5-trimethylhexene-2 have been prepared, all labelled with¹³C in the position adjacent to the alkali metal atom. The¹³C NMR spectra of these compounds have been measured and the¹³CC coupling constants found for the charged atom. The first two compounds have coupling constants consistent with an sp² hybridized C_α, with relatively little effect of the charge on the coupling constant. The third compound, when dissolved in either THF or benzene, gave much smaller coupling constants, which are more difficult to interpret.     

Magnetic field dependent 13C and 1H CIDNP from biradicals. The role of the hyperfine coupling constant

Magnetic field dependent biradical CIDNP has been observed in the natural abundance ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra taken immediately after irradiation of cyclic ketones in an auxiliary magnet. The ¹³C field dependence curves differ from the corresponding ¹H curves: The maxima of the curves for the C₁₁ and C₁₂ biradicals appear at a higher magnetic field strength, and the ¹³C curves are broader than the ¹H curves. These differences are due to the different magnitudes of the hyperfine coupling constants for ¹³C and ¹H and can be accounted for by a model based on a stochastic Liouville method which incorporates the dynamics of the biradicals.     

13C-13C Spin-Spin Coupling Constants in Structural Studies: XXXVII. Rotational Conformations of Hydroxy Groups in Pyranose, Furanose, and Septanose Rings

Rotational surfaces for ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants with respect to two dihedral angles at C¹ and C² in model structures of aldopyranoses, aldofuranoses, and aldoseptanoses of the D-series were calculated in terms of the self-consistent finite perturbation theory. Internal rotation of the hydroxy groups exerts an appreciable effect (within 2.5 Hz) on the ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants of all cyclic forms of monosaccharides, which provides the possibility for performing conformational analysis of carbohydrates and their metabolites containing pyranose, furanose, and septanose fragments.     

Assignment of the 13C NMR resonances in trialkylphosphines from spin-lattice relaxation time measurements

Analysis of the ¹³C NMR chemical shift and coupling constant data for a number of straight-chain aliphatic trialkylphosphines and their transition metal carbonyl complexes suggests that complexation leads to: (1) a deshielding of C(1) and an increase in ¹J(¹³C³¹P), (2) a slight shielding of C(2) and a decrease in ²J(¹³C³¹P), and (3) little or no change in the chemical shift for C(3) and a slight increase in ³J(¹³C³¹P). Application of these rules to the assignment of the ¹³C NMR spectrum of P(butyl)₃ led to conflict with prior work. A study of segmental motion in these derivatives via spin-lattine (T₁) relaxation time measurements was therefore performed, and these data are in complete agreement with the proposed assignments. These generalizations must be applied with care, however, since the presence of either unsaturation or branching near the phosphorus can interfere with this pattern.     

<Superscript>13</Superscript>C-<Superscript>13</Superscript>C spin-spin coupling constants in structural studies: XXXIX. Nonempirical calculations of heteroaromatic oximes

The results of high-level nonempirical quantum-chemical calculations of ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants in twelve heteroaromatic ketone oximes are well consistent with the available experimental data. In all the examined compounds, the effect of the unshared electron pair on the oxime nitrogen atom on J _CC strongly predominates over conformational and electronic effects, which makes it possible to unambiguously assign J _CC values to different configurations.     

Vicinal13C-13C coupling via nn,nno and cn paths

From the vicinal ¹³C-¹³C coupling constants determined for a series of bi(poly) cyclic azo-, azoxy- and imino-compounds an independent increment for the NN-, NNO- and NC units of ca. 15, 3–4 and ca.8 Hz resp. was deduced.     

13C Hyperfine interaction in the hexafluorobenzene radical anion

Naturally abundant ¹³C satellites have been detected in the isotropic EPR spectrum of C₆F^?₆, the ¹³C coupling being 12.1 G The magnitude of this coupling does not support a nonplanar structure for C₆F^?₆. Also, the value is more consistent with a σ¹ than a π¹ configuration in D_6h, symmetry.     

13C-19F couplings and 19F NMR shifts of cycloalkyl,bicycloalkyl and steroid monofluoro compounds1

The stereospecifity of ¹³C-¹⁹F couplings is investigated with 20 alicyclic compounds. One bond couplings, ranging from 168 to 214 Hz, can be represented as a function of the corresponding ¹³C-H coupling constants. For comparison ¹³C-¹H couplings are determined for norboraane and adamantane and indicate considerable s character at the bridgehead C-H bond of the latter compound. One bond and geminal couplings (ranging from 18 to 24 Hz) are found to depend not significantly on the steric environment. With vicinal couplings a strong dependence is established on torsional angles, which is fitted to a Karplus function. Typical values for CCCF trans arrangements are around 10 Hz, for gauche angles less than 1.5 Hz. Vicinal couplings are substantially altered by electronegative substituents and by hybridization changes of participating carbon atoms. The ³J values observed with cycloalkylfluorides are interpreted on the basis of model geometries for the corresponding hydrocarbons. The influence of solvent and temperature changes is restricted to one bond couplings. ¹⁹F shifts in cyclohexane derivatives are constantly at higher field for axial fluorine (by ~20 ppm), but otherwise there is no significant relation to the orientation of neighbouring bonds, nor to ¹³C shifts of the Cα-F carbon atoms or to the corresponding one bond couplings.     

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.
