Chemical shift reagents in the study of polycyclic alcohols IX—1H NMR spectra of myrtenol and some other primary alcohols

Structure proof of (—)-myrtenol, 3-cyclopentenyl-1-methanol and 5-norbornene-2-endo-methanol has been obtained from their proton magnetic resonance spectra in carbon tetrachloride containing different added amounts of tris(dipivaloylmethanato)europium. For each alcohol, a 1:1 complex structure with Eu(dpm)₃ could be computed, in which the calculated pseudocontact shift effects on all skeleton protons of the ring system were consistent with the observed shift effect values. A considerable contact contribution of opposite sign to that of the pseudocontact part of the effect could be estimated for the methylene protons of the CH₂OH group.     

NMR study of 4-membered rings. VIII—The sign of the four-bond couplings in adducts of cyclopentenone with vic-dichloroethylenes

The proton spectra of the four stereoisomers prepared by photocycloaddition of 2-cyclopentenone to cis and trans dichloroethylene have been analysed using tickling and INDOR techniques in order to obtain the sign of the cross-ring four-bond coupling constants in the cyclobutane ring. These parameters are correlated with the relative orientation of the protons involved. The complete NMR analysis of the seven-spin system of the cycloadduct endo-7-phenoxybicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one has been carried out and all the four-bond coupling constants have been obtained and discussed. The sign of the cross-ring coupling in the cyclobutanone ring has been determined.     

Chemische Verschiebungen von Methylprotonen in 1H-NMR-Spektren von Alkylcyclohexanen

The chemical shifts of methyl protons of 51 methyl and tert-butyl substituted cyclohexanes were determined. The resonance range of axial methyls extends from δ = 0,63 to 0,98 ppm and equatorial groups from δ = 0,81 to 1,02 ppm. the chemical shifts of axial methyl groups are more greatly influenced by neighbouring groups than those of equatorial methyls. The shift effects of alkyl groups on the chemical shifts of methylprotons and ring protons were compared.     

Heteronuclear multiple magnetic resonance studies of quaternary ammonium salts derived from heterocyclic bases

¹⁴N tickling experiments performed with simultaneous decoupling of substituent protons are used to show that ²J(¹⁴N? H_ortho) and ³J(¹⁴N? H_meta) are both positive in the N-methyl pyridinium ion and related species. Long range coupling extending over as many as five bonds is observed between N-methyl protons and ring protons in ¹⁴N-decoupled spectra. Triple resonance decoupling is used to permit an analysis of the AA′MM′ spin system given by the ring proton of N-methyl pyrazinium iodide.     

The effects of substituents on the 5J long-range spin-spin coupling constants in substituted benzaldehydes

Proton magnetic resonance spectra of several mono- and disubstituted benzaldehydes were studied using CW, INDOR and double resonance techniques. It was verified that substitution in the para position has no effect on the long-range coupling of the aldehydic proton with the ring protons five bonds away. Substitution in the ortho and meta positions (with the exception of 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde) follows closely the additivity rule effects of the substituents.     

NMR-untersuchungen an piperidinen—III. 1H-messungen an alkylpiperidinen

The ¹H-220 MHz spectra of several alkylpiperidines are reported. Almost complete assignments for all ring protons are possible. The effects of N-methyl and C-methyl groups on adjacent ring protons are discussed in detail.     

Identification of proton type in concentrated sweet solutions by pulsed NMR analysis

The spin-spin proton relaxation times T₂ of concentrated sucrose, maltose,D-glucose andL-proline solutions were determined using a Bruker Minispec NMR Spectrometer. Log spin echo amplitude decay curves were also determined and their non-linear nature allowed the proportions of different proton types to be calculated. These were in agreement with the theoretical proportions of ring (non-exchangeable protons), solute hydroxyl protons and water protons in the simple sugar molecules. A deuteration experiment confirmed that only non-exchangeable ring protons remained.     

B环对位取代异黄酮化合物的核磁共振研究

对14个合成的B环对位取代异黄酮化合物核磁共振氢谱进行了研究.利用超导核磁共振归属了B环无取代异黄酮质子的化学位移,根据取代基化学位移的变化影响规律考察了取代基对分子的影响方式.研究结果表明,2'(6'),3'(5')位质子共振迁移分别与取代基参数σ_p和S_o线性相关,说明4'位取代基主要通过电子效应影响其间位质子,其磁各向异性仅影响邻位质子,该取代基对A环质子影响不大,而对C环尤其是对2-H影响较明显.     

Analysis of 1H NMR spectra of fluorene and azafluorenes: Long-range coupling constants

Analyses of the ¹H NMR spectra of fluorene, 2-nitrofluorene, 1-azafluorene, 2-azafluorene, 4-azafluorene, 7-nitro-4-azafluorene and 1,4-diazafuorene have been carried out using computer calculations and homo double resonance techniques. The relative signs and magnitude of the ⁴J, ⁵J and ⁶J long-range coupling constants of the 9-CH₂ group protons with the pyridine and phenylene ring protons have been measured by five- and six-spin calculations. It was established that the presence of substituents and the N heteroatom has only a very weak effect on the values and signs of these coupling constants. The usual alternating signs of long-range coupling constants involving π-electron systems were confirmed, giving negative signs for even and positive signs for odd numbers of bonds separating the coupling protons.     

Applications of ENDOR Spectroscopy to Radical Cations in Freon Matrices. Part 1. The radical cation of s-trans-buta-1,3-diene

Precise values of the proton coupling constants have been determined from the ENDOR spectra of the radical cation of s-trans-buta-1,3-diene generated from the neutral compound by γ irradiation in a CFCl₃ matrix at 77 K. These values are 1.119 and 1.050 mT for the pairs of exo- and endo-protons in the 1,4-positions, respectively, and 0.283 mT for the pair of protons in the 2,3-positions. A general TRIPLE resonance spectrum proves that all coupling constants have the same sign which should be negative by theory, Evidence by experiment and theory indicate that the s-trans-configuration of the neutral compound is retained upon ionization.     

Analysis of the 1H NMR spectrum of α-tetralone

An analysis of both the aromatic and aliphatic portions of the ¹H NMR spectrum of α-tetralone has been carried out. Two deuterated derivatives, 2,2-dideuterio- and 4,4-dideuterio-α-tetralone, were prepared to facilitate unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts for the aliphatic protons. The conformation of the 6-membered alicyclic ring of the molecule is defined by the coupling constants among the aliphatic protons. Benzylic coupling was the only detectable long range interaction between the aliphatic and aromatic protons of the molecule. The magnitude and sign of these coupling constants agree with previous calculations of Wasylishen and Schaefer.     

1H-NMR-Spektroskopische Untersuchungen an methylsubstituierten Cyclohexen-(4)-dicarbonsäure-(1,2)-anhydriden

Chemical shifts and coupling constants of methyl substituted 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydrides were determined. The NMR data demonstrate the boat conformation of the cis-anhydrides. The orientation of the cis-anhydride ring relative to the cyclohexene boat depends on the constitution and configuration of the compounds, and can be deduced from coupling constants and δ-values of the H₁- and H₂-protons. Methyl groups in the neighbourhood of these protons shift the resonance frequencies dependent upon molecular conformation.     

Proton magnetic resonance studies of compounds with bridgehead nitrogen atoms—XX: The NMR spectra and stereochemistry of some hexahydropyrido[2, 1-c] [1, 4] oxazin-3(4H)-ones and related compounds

A series of substituted hexahydropyrido [2,1-c] [1,4] oxazin-3(4H)-ones has been synthesised, and the configurations of these bicyclic lactones assigned utilising chemical and spectral data. All the compounds adopt trans-fused conformations and the conformation of the lactone ring is discussed with reference to the magnitude of the geminal coupling constant of the N? CH₂? C(O)? O protons, and the vicinal couplings between the angular proton and the methylene protons adjacent to the ring oxygen atom. The lactone ring conformation is shown to differ slightly from the half chair conformation described for some monocyclic δ -lactones. The synthesis and NMR spectra of some related compounds possessing the bridgehead N? CH₂? C(O)? O system are discussed and these compounds are also shown to adopt a trans-fused ring conformation.     

Transmission mechanisms of inter-proton long-range couplings in substituted anisoles

Inter-proton long-range and ring couplings were measured in o-anisaldehyde and in seven disubstituted anisoles. In order to investigate the transmission mechanisms of long-range couplings with the methoxy group, partially restricted molecular orbital (PRMO) calculations were carried out within the FPT-INDO method on o-anisaldehyde. σ- and π-electron, and through-space transmitted components were separated. For the energetically favoured trans-OMe conformation a through-space component was found for the couplings of the methyl protons with the ortho-proton, and it was found that its sign, as well as its magnitude, depends on their relative positions. If free rotation, however, is assumed for the methyl group, the averaged value for this coupling constant is negative.     

Proton NMR studies of reduced porphyrin compounds

Detailed ¹H NMR studies of ms tetraphenylchlorins (H₂TPC), new amino- and hydroxypyrroline substituted ms tetraphenylchlorins and ms tetraphenylisobacteriochlorins (H₂TPisoB) are presented and discussed. The results obtained are consistent with the general aspects of the ring current models as applied to the parent porphyrins. According to proton chemical shifts a gradual reduction in the magnitude of the ring current is observed in the order ms tetraphenylporphyrin (H₂TPP) > H₂TPC> ms tetraphenylbacteriochlorin (H₂TPB) > H₂TPisoB. The ¹H NMR spectra show chemical non-equivalence of the pyrroline ring protons due to adjacent substituents, and effects of steric constraints on the aminoalkyl substituents due to the close vicinity to the meso phenyl rings. The non-equivalence of the methylene protons of the pyrroline ring produces geminal coupling between the two methylene protons and vicinal coupling with the adjacent pyrroline proton, more pronounced in H₂TPC? OH and in . Restricted configuration of the methylene groups in the ethyl groups of H₂TPC? C(H)(CH₃)N(CH₂CH₃)₂ produces observable geminal coupling between the methylene protons. ¹H NMR reveals the difference between two types of meso phenyls in the chlorins, and three types of meso phenyls in isobacteriochlorins, as reflected in the chemical shifts of the o-phenyl protons.     

Concerning the chemical shifts of the ring protons of toluene as determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy of deuterated material

Chemical shifts of the ring protons are determined by ¹H NMR of 99% deuterated toluene. At low temperatures the deuterons relax rapidly, yielding sharp ¹H peaks for the ortho, meta and para protons. These are compared with shifts obtained by other methods.     

Solvent effects on the NMR spectra of heterocyclics

The NMR spectra of pyridine, pyrazine and imidazole are examined in acetone-d₆. The differential shifts of the ring protons are accounted for in terms of an interaction between the lone pair on the ring nitrogen atom and the carbonyl group of acetone.     

Conformational preferences of 2-methoxypyridine from 1H and 13C NMR and from STO-3G molecular orbital calculations

Observable coupling over five formal bonds between the methoxy group protons and the ortho ring proton in 2-methoxypyridine, coupliugs between the methoxy group carbon and ring protons, and methoxy carbon spin-lattice relaxation times are all consistent with a preference for the planar cis conformer, in which conjugation is favoured and repulsions between the methyl group and the ortho hydrogen are reduced. Small-amplitude torsioas about the C-2–O bond may carry the methoxy group away from this orientation, but more distant conformations can probably be excluded. Methyl group rotation is less hindered in the cis than in the trans conformer. Molecular orbital calculations at the STO-3G level, with complete geometry optimization, support the conduskus drawn from experimental evidence.     

Diels-Alder Reactions of 6,9-Dipropyl-1, 4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]Deca-6, 8-Diene-2, 10-Dione with Substituted Alkenes. An Entry to Bicyclo[2.2.2]Oct-5-Ene-2, 3-Diones and 1, 3-Cyclohexadienes

The cycloadditions of the title compound, 1, a masked 3, 6-dipropyl-o-benzoquinone to various disubstituted (diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate, trans- and cis-stilbene, and cycloheptene) and monosubstituted alkenes (methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, styrene, ethyl vinyl ether, and 1-hexene) have been studied; the yields of the Diels-Alder adducts, 2, are generally high (> 75%) except for stilbenes. These adducts are effectively transformed into the corresponding bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2, 3-diones, 3, whose stereochemistries are determined from the ring current effect of the respective quinoxalines, 4, on the chemical shifts of the vinyl and the methine protons and/or the lanthanide (Eu(fod)₃) induced shift on the pertinent protons of 3. It is interesting to note that the quinoxaline ring current makes the vinyl protons down-field shifted by 0.15–0.27 ppm whereas the methine protons (R³=H) syn to the quinoxaline moiety up-field shifted by 0.18–0.39 ppm as compared to the chemical shifts of the corresponding protons in 3. The transformations of α-diketones 3 into the corresponding 1, 3-cyclohexadienes, 5, by irradition with a Hanovia medium pressure lamp through a uranium glass filter are almost quantitative. The present study provides facile and effective methods for the preparation of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2, 3-diones and 1, 3-cyclohexadienes from catechols via masked o-benzoquinones.
