Quantitative Determination of Resin Loading in Solid-Phase Organic Synthesis Using (13)C MAS NMR

The use of quantitative carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((13)C NMR) for the determination of resin loadings has been investigated. Magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra have been obtained for solvent-swollen resins on a conventional 7 mm CP/MAS probe using the two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) proton decoupling sequence. Loadings of resin-bound organic compounds were evaluated via addition of tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane as reference or using the carbon resonances of the polymeric resin material as an internal standard. Results for several functionalized Wang and trityl resins are consistent with those obtained using well-established analytical methods. The (13)C NMR method has interesting applications in the field of solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS), since no functional group acting as a support for the attachment of a quantifiable chromophore must be available in the material of interest.     

Impact of Magnesium(II) on Beryllium Fluorides in Solutions Studied by 19F NMR Spectroscopy

Beryllium fluorides are widely used in protein phosphorylation studies to get stable transition state analogs or near attack conformers, which has attracted much attention. BeF₃^? is one of the optimal phosphoryl (PO₃^?) analogs for its identical geometry and charge, and Mg²⁺ naturally participates in the phosphoryl binding in biological systems. In solutions, BeF₃^? coexists with other beryllium fluorides (BeF₄^2?, BeF₂ and BeF⁺) and magnesium fluorides, and there are equilibriums between these species. In this article, ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy was applied to the investigation of the impact of magnesium(II) on beryllium fluorides. It has been found that when Mg²⁺ was introduced into the solutions, the chemical shifts, the intensities and the line widths of ¹⁹F signals of various beryllium fluoride complexes were changed. After ionic strength correction, these effects were remarkable only for BeF₄^2? and BeF₃^?, especially BeF₄^2?, when the concentration of the fluoride ion is relatively low. Mechanism of the effects is proposed which involves ion pair formation between Mg²⁺ and beryllium fluorides.     

(Pentafluorophenyl)sulfur fluorides, 19F NMR

The low-temperature ¹⁹F NMR spectra of (pentafluorophenyl)sulfur trifluoride are explained by the trigonal bipyramid structure ( 1a ) with the pentafluorophenyl ring in the basal plane and a relatively high barrier to rotation about the C? S bond. In the presence of a hydrogen fluoride scavenger, there is a high barrier to intramolecular rearrangement of the sulfur fluorines about the sulfur atom. The single basal fluorine couples strongly with one ortho fluorine and weakly with the other, but the two apical fluorines couple equally with both ortho fluorines. A six-bond coupling between S? F and p? F is found in (pentafluorophenyl)sulfur trifluoride and in (pentafluorophenyl)-sulfinyl fluoride, but not in (pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl fluoride.     

19F Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

The introduction of high‐frequency, high‐power microwave sources, tailored biradicals, and low‐temperature magic angle spinning (MAS) probes has led to a rapid development of hyperpolarization strategies for solids and frozen solutions, leading to large gains in NMR sensitivity. Here, we introduce a protocol for efficient hyperpolarization of ¹⁹F nuclei in MAS DNP enhanced NMR spectroscopy. We identified trifluoroethanol‐d₃ as a versatile glassy matrix and show that 12 mm AMUPol (with microcrystalline KBr) provides direct ¹⁹F DNP enhancements of over 100 at 9.4 T. We applied this protocol to obtain DNP‐enhanced ¹⁹F and ¹⁹F–¹³C cross‐polarization (CP) spectra for an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a fluorinated mesostructured hybrid material, using incipient wetness impregnation, with enhancements of approximately 25 and 10 in the bulk solid, respectively. This strategy is a general and straightforward method for obtaining enhanced ¹⁹F MAS spectra from fluorinated materials.

The results of calculations are compared with ¹⁹F NMR data, and it is shown that fine polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) contains the terminal CF₃ groups in its structure.

19F-Labeled Probes for Recognition-Enabled Chromatographic 19F NMR

The NMR technique is among the most powerful analytical methods for molecular structural elucidation, process monitoring, and mechanistic investigations; however, the direct analysis of complex real-world samples is often hampered by crowded NMR spectra that are difficult to interpret. The combination of fluorine chemistry and supramolecular interactions leads to a unique detection method named recognition-enabled chromatographic (REC) ¹⁹F NMR, where interactions between analytes and ¹⁹F-labeled probes are transduced into chromatogram-like ¹⁹F NMR signals of discrete chemical shifts. In this account, we summarize our endeavor to develop novel ¹⁹F-labeled probes tailored for separation-free multicomponent analysis. The strategies to achieve chiral discrimination, sensitivity enhancement, and automated analyte identification will be covered. The account will also provide a detailed discussion of the underlying principles for the design of molecular probes for REC ¹⁹F NMR where appropriate.     

Synthesis, structure, and 19F NMR spectra of 1,3,7,10,14,17,23,28,31,40-C60(CF3)10

A significant improvement in the selectivity of fullerene trifluoromethylation reactions was achieved. Reaction of trifluoroiodomethane with [60]fullerene at 460 degrees C and [70]fullerene at 470 degrees C in a flow reactor led to isolation of cold-zone-condensed mixtures of C60(CF3)n and C70(CF3)n compounds with narrow composition ranges: 6 < or = n < or = 12 for C(60)(CF3)n and 8 < or = n < or = 14 for C70(CF3)n. The predominant products in the C(60) reaction, an estimated 40+ mol % of the cold-zone condensate, were three isomers of C60(CF3)10. Two of these were purified by two-stage HPLC to 80+% isomeric purity. The third isomer was purified by three-stage HPLC to 95% isomeric purity. Thirteen milligrams of this orange-brown compound was isolated (5% overall yield based on C60, and its C1-symmetric structure was determined to be 1,3,7,10,14,17,23,28,31,40-C60(CF3)10 by X-ray crystallography. The CF3 groups are either meta or para to one another on a p-m-p-p-p-m-p-m-p ribbon of edge-sharing C6(CF3)2 hexagons (each pair of adjacent hexagons shares a common CF3 group). The selectivity of the C70 reaction was even higher. The predominant product was a single C70(CF3)10 isomer representing >40 mol % of the cold-zone condensate. Single-stage HPLC led to the isolation of 12 mg of this brown compound in 95% isomeric purity (27% overall yield based on converted C70. The new compounds were characterized by EI or S(8)-MALDI mass spectrometry and 2D-COSY 19F NMR spectroscopy. The NMR data demonstrate that through-space coupling via direct overlap of fluorine orbitals is the predominant contribution to J(FF) values in these and most other fullerene(CF3)n compounds.     

Automated Solid-Phase Oligo(disulfide) Synthesis

A method for automated solid-phase synthesis of oligo(disulfide)s was developed. It is based on a synthetic cycle comprising removal of a protecting group from a resin-bound thiol followed by treatment with monomers containing a thiosulfonate as an activated precursor. For ease of purification and characterization, the disulfide oligomers were synthesized as extensions of oligonucleotides on an automated oligonucleotide synthesizer. Six different dithiol monomer building blocks were synthesized. Sequence-defined oligomers of up to seven disulfide units were synthesized and purified. The sequence of the oligomer was confirmed by tandem MS/MS analysis. One of the monomers contains a coumarin cargo that can be released by a thiol-mediated release mechanism. When the monomer was incorporated into an oligo(disulfide) and subjected to reducing conditions, the cargo was released under near-physiological conditions, which underlines the potential use of these molecules in drug delivery systems.     

Parahydrogen‐Induced Polarization Transfer to 19F in Perfluorocarbons for 19F NMR Spectroscopy and MRI

Fluorinated substances are important in chemistry, industry, and the life sciences. In a new approach, parahydrogen‐induced polarization (PHIP) is applied to enhance ¹⁹F MR signals of (perfluoro‐n‐hexyl)ethene and (perfluoro‐n‐hexyl)ethane. Unexpectedly, the end‐standing CF₃ group exhibits the highest amount of polarization despite the negligible coupling to the added protons. To clarify this non‐intuitive distribution of polarization, signal enhancements in deuterated chloroform and acetone were compared and ¹⁹F–¹⁹F NOESY spectra, as well as ¹⁹F T₁ values were measured by NMR spectroscopy. By using the well separated and enhanced signal of the CF₃ group, first ¹⁹F MR images of hyperpolarized linear semifluorinated alkenes were recorded.     

19F NMR Study of Antimony(III) Fluoride Complexes in Solution

The state of SbF₃, Sb₃O₂F₅, MSb₃F₁₀, MSb₂F₇, M₃Sb₄F₁₅, MSbF₄, and M₂SbF₃, as well as HF and MF (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄, and Tl), in a 0.25 M aqueous solution at room temperature was studied by ¹⁹F NMR. It is found that chemical shifts of the ¹⁹F NMR signals (relative to CFCl₃) for the compounds under investigation vary in the 73.3–157.5 ppm range. For the Sb(III) fluoride complexes, chemical shifts in the ¹⁹F NMR spectra vary in the 73.3–85.5 ppm range (relative to CFCl₃). Although the crystals of Sb(III) fluoride complexes contain different polyhedra that are joined in different ways, the NMR spectra of all compounds under study show one narrow signal. The spectra of aqueous solutions of Sb(III) fluoride complexes do not contain signals of free fluoride ions and oxofluoride Sb₃O₂F₅.

A new fluoro-Wang resin is presented which facilitates solid-phase reaction monitoring using 19F NMR. The resin is easily synthesized and amenable to scale-up. The method described herein compliments single-bead FT-IR and 13C NMR techniques. This method allows monitoring of solid-phase reactions even if the resin bound intermediate is unstable to the cleavage conditions. In addition, this is a useful tool to study reaction kinetics on the solid phase.
