Synthesis and 1H NMR spectra of some 1-aryl-2,5-pyrrolidinediones

Three 1-aryl-2,5 pyrrolidinediones, two of which are novel, were prepared by reaction of the requisite primary aromatic amines with succinic anhydride, followed by treatment with acetic anhydride. The ¹H nmr spectra for the derivatives in which aryl is 1-naphthyl and 1-anthracenyl exhibit 32-line multiplets for the four aliphatic hydrogens, indicating that all four are in different environments. Examination of molecular models demonstrates that the pyrrolidinedione and aryl ring systems cannot be coplanar and that rotation about the nitrogen-aryl bond is restricted. Molecular mechanics calculations reveal that a dihedral angle of 50–65° for the two ring systems results in the minimum steric interaction energy.     

Insight into Biomass Upgrade: A Review on Hydrogenation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF)

Recent developments in the transformation of biobased 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into a potential liquid fuel, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), are summarised. This review focuses briefly on the history of HMF conversion to DMF in terms of the feedstock used and emphasises the ideal requirements in terms of the catalytic properties needed in HMF transformation into DMF. The recent state of the art and works on HMF transformation into DMF are discussed in comparison to noble metals and non-noble metals as well as bimetallic catalysts. The effect of the support used and the reaction conditions are also discussed. The recommendations for future work and challenges faced are specified.     

Characterization of small combinatorial chemistry libraries by (1)H NMR. Quantitation with a convenient and novel internal standard

A novel silane standard, 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene (BTMSB), is introduced for the generic quantitation of small organic molecules in DMSO-d(6) solution by (1)H NMR. This standard is an easily weighable solid and is stable for at least 1 month in DMSO solution, and its (1)H NMR spectrum contains a strong singlet in a region usually free of signals. With a set of certified standards, concentration determination with about 2% precision and accuracy is verified after solution preparation with fully automated procedures, thus making very effective the characterization of small combinatorial chemistry libraries for identity and purity when combined with other physicochemical or biochemical tests. As an example, for a set of about 400 compounds, results of (1)H NMR characterization are compared to the more customary LC-UV-MS method. NMR and MS data agree for identity on the vast majority of cases (84% positive and 5% negative), whereas the remaining cases (11%) are marked as highly impure only after NMR spectra analysis. Most importantly, determination of concentration rather than that of relative purity appears the right choice for a correct evaluation of biochemical potency.

Contiguously substituted cyclooctane polyols. configurational assignments via (1)H NMR correlations and symmetry considerations

More advanced oxidation of the cyclooctadienol shown, readily available in enantiomerically pure form from D-glucose, has given rise to a series of intermediates whose relative (and ultimately absolute) configuration was assigned on the basis of (1)H/(1)H coupling constant analysis. The selectivities that were deduced in this manner were drawn from the sequential application of CrO3 oxidation in tandem with Luche reduction, two-step NMO-promoted osmylations bracketed by acetonide formation, and wholesale deprotection. The stereoselectivities of these reactions were traced by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and the stereochemical assignments were confirmed by the presence or absence of symmetry in the final cyclooctane polyols (four shown) generated in this investigation.     

Structural studies of poly(paraphenylene), poly(2,5-thienylene) and their derivatives by solid-state NMR of 1H and 13C

Transient techniques in NMR of ¹H and ¹³C were used to study the chemical and physical structures of solid poly(p-phenylene) (PPP), poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-phenylene oxide) (PDMPO), poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS), poly(p-biphenylene sulfide) (PPBS), poly(p-phenylene selenide) (PPSe), poly(p-biphenylene selenide) (PPBSe), poly(2,5-thienylene) (PT), poly(3-methyl-2,5-thienylene) (PMT), and poly(p-phenylene-co-2,5-thienlyene) (PPPT) of different monomer ratios. ¹³C NMR confirmed the expected chemical structure for homopolymers, and indicated a random distribution of monomer units in PPPT. Relative fractions of crystalline and interfacial regions were determined by measurements of ¹H magnetic relaxation, ¹³C CP/MAS NMR, and XRD. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An Internal Standard HPLC Method for the Analysis of Propoxur

Abstract

An internal standard reversed phase hplc method for the analysis of propoxur is described. Analysis is accomplished in 15 minutes. The propoxur content is determined by comparing the response for the propoxur peak to the response of n-butyrophenone which is incorporporated as an internal standard. The analysis of a 2% rat bait is illustrated.     

Ligand adducts of bis(acetylacetonato)iron(II): a 1H NMR study

We report here a thorough (1)H NMR study of Fe(acac)(2) solutions in a wide variety of noncoordinating and coordinating solvents, as well as the interaction of this complex with Et(3)N, pyridine, PMe(2)Ph, and R(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PR(2) [R = Ph (dppe), Et (depe)] in C(6)D(6). The study reveals that Fe(acac)(2) is readily transformed into Fe(acac)(3) in solution under aerobic conditions and that the commercial compound is usually contaminated by significant amounts of Fe(acac)(3). The (1)H NMR resonances of Fe(acac)(2) are rather solvent-dependent and quite different than those reported in the literature. The compound is unstable in CDCl(3) and stable in CD(2)Cl(2), C(6)D(6), CD(3)CN, acetone-d(6), DMSO-d(6), THF-d(8), and CD(3)OD. The addition of the above-mentioned ligands (L) reveals only one paramagnetically shifted band for each type of acac and L proton, the position of which varies with the L/Fe ratio, consistent with rapid ligand exchange equilibria on the NMR time scale. A fit of the NMR data at a high L/Fe ratio allows the calculation of the expected resonances for all protons in the Fe(acac)(2)L(2) molecules. The system with the bidentate depe ligand shows evidence for a slow ligand exchange at low depe/Fe ratios, proposed to involve a species with the cis-chelated mononuclear Fe(acac)(2)(depe) structure, whereas the fast exchange at a higher ratio is proposed to involved a trans-Fe(acac)(2)(κ(1)-depe)(2) complex. Complex Fe(acac)(2)(dppe) cannot be investigated in solution because of low solubility in a noncoordinating solvent and because of the poor dppe competition for binding in coordinating solvents. The compound was crystallized, and its X-ray structure reveals a 1-dimensional polymeric structure with dppe-bridged Fe centers having the trans-octahedral Fe(acac)(2)(κ(1)-dppe)(2) coordination environment.     

Complete (1)H NMR spectral fingerprint of huperzine A

Complete analysis of the (1)H NMR spectrum of huperzine A, 1-amino-13-ethylidene-11-methyl-6-aza-tricyclo[7.3.1.0(2, 7)]trideca-2(7),3,10-trien-5-one, a Lycopodium alkaloid and anti-Alzheimer drug lead containing an ABCD(E)(MN)(OP)X(3)Y(3)-type system of 15 nonexchangeable proton spins, is reported for the first time, and earlier assignments are corrected. The complete (1)H parameter set of 11 chemical shifts clarifies the diastereotopism of both methylene groups, and provides a total of 38 observed H,H-couplings including 31 long-range ((4-6)J) connectivities. The NMR data is consistent with the comparatively rigid alicyclic backbone predicted by molecular mechanics calculations, and forms the basis for (1)H NMR fingerprint analysis for the purpose of dereplication, purity analysis, and elucidation of structural analogs.     

Two-Dimensional (1)H NMR Studies on Octahedral Nickel(II) Complexes

The dinucleating ligand ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-(1-ethylbenzimidazoyl)] (EGTB-Et; 1) was used to synthesize the dinuclear Ni(II) tetraacetonitrile complex cation [Ni(2)(EGTB-Et)(CH(3)CN)(4)](2+) (2): triclinic space group P&onemacr; (a = 12.273(5) ?, b = 12.358(7) ?, c = 12.561(6) ?, alpha = 90.43(4) degrees, beta = 110.26(3) degrees, gamma = 99.21 (4) degrees, and Z = 1). The structure shows two identical octahedral Ni(II) centers each bound to two benzimidazole ring nitrogen atoms, one amine nitrogen atom, an ether oxygen atom, and two acetonitrile nitrogen atoms. The Ni(II) ions are tethered together by a diethyl ether linkage with a crystallographic center of inversion between the methylene carbons of this bridge. The Ni--Ni separation in 2 is 7.072 ?. The mononuclear Ni(II) complex cation [Ni(Bipy)(2)(OAc)](+) (3) (Bipy = bipyridine) was synthesized and crystallographically characterized: monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 9.269(4) ?, b = 8.348(4) ?, c = 14.623(7) ?, and beta = 102.46(4) degrees, Z = 2). The Ni(II) ions in 3 adopts a distorted octahedral geometry and is bound to four bipyridine ring nitrogen atoms and two carboxylate oxygen atoms. The average Ni-N and Ni-O distances are 2.062 and 2.110 ?. The electronic absorption spectra of both 2 and 3 were recorded in acetonitrile solution and are consistent with octahedral coordination geometries about the Ni(II) ions with Racah parameters of 840 and 820 cm(-)(1), respectively. Both one- and two-dimensional (1)H NMR techniques were used to assign the observed hyperfine shifted (1)H NMR resonances of 2 and 3 in acetonitrile solution. Clear COSY cross signals are observed between the aromatic protons of both the benzimidazole and pyridine protons of 2 and 3, respectively. The use of 2D NMR methods to assign inequivalent aromatic protons rather than synthetic methods such as substitution or deuteration are discussed.

Synthesis and NMR Characterization of 2,5-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)-3,4-Diphenyl-1-Silacyclopentadienyl Dianion

Abstract

Two new silyl-substituted silolide dianions (11a, 11b) have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Their ¹H, ²⁹Si, and ¹³C NMR spectra show similarities to the known phenyl- and alkyl-substituted analogues. Reaction with ethyl bromide gave the expected diethylsilol. B3LYP/6-31 + G* geometry optimization revealed equalized CC distances, and also NICS values indicate significant aromaticity.

A Convenient Synthesis of 2,5 (1H,3H)-Tetrahydroquinazolinedione Using Lanthanum Chloride as the Catalyst

In the past decade,4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives have exhibited important pharmacological properties, e.g. as the integral backbones of several calcium channel blockers, antihypertensive agents, alpha-1a-antagonists, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) antagonists^[1]. Several lead compounds were developed that are equal in potency and duration of antihypertensive activity to classical and second-generation dihydropyridine drugs^[2].     

Real-Time Infrared Overtone Laser Control of Temperature in Picoliter H(2)O Samples: "Nanobathtubs" for Single Molecule Microscopy

An approach for high spatiotemporal control of aqueous sample temperatures in confocal microscopy is reported. This technique exploits near-IR diode-laser illumination to locally heat picoliter volumes of water via first-overtone excitation in the OH-stretch manifold. A thin water cell after the objective resonantly removes any residual IR light from the detection system, allowing for continuous observation of single-molecule fluorescence throughout the heating event. This technique is tested quantitatively by reproducing single-molecule RNA folding results obtained from "bulk" stage heating measurements. Calibration of sample temperatures is obtained from time-correlated single-photon counting studies of Rhodamine B fluorescence decay. We obtain an upper limit to the heating response time (τ(heat) < 20 ms) consistent with even faster estimates (τ(heat) ≈ 0.25 ms) based on laser spot size, H(2)O heat capacit,y and absorption cross section. This combination of fast, noncontact heating of picoliter volumes provides new opportunities for real-time thermodynamic/kinetic studies at the single-molecule level.
