13C NMR of organosulfur compounds the 13C chemical shifts of monocyclic γ- and δ-sultones

The ¹³C NMR spectra of several monocyclic γ-sultones(1,2-oxathiolane 2,2-dioxides) and δ-sultones(1,2-oxathiane 2,2-dioxides) have been determined and are presented herein. The chemical shifts of the ring carbons of these compounds are compared in terms of conformational, electronic and anisotropic differences. Electric field effects may be responsible for the chemical shifts of the C-α carbon, but do not appear to be important for C-α. Anisotropic deshielding also appears to be important for the chemical shifts of C-α, but the effects on C-α appear to be small. Dipole changes at C-α and C-α, induced by back donation of electron density from the ring oxygen to sulfur, may explain the chemical shifts at C-α. Substituent effects are readily explained in terms of well-known effects. In general, the carbons closest to the sulfonate group are found to be the most affected, and the carbons of the δ-sultones proximate to the sulfonate group are found to be more deshielded than those of the γ-sultones.     

Solid‐state CP/MAS 13C NMR studies on conformational polymorphism in sertraline hydrochloride,an antidepressant drug

The C(2) isotropic chemical shift values in solid‐state CP/MAS ¹³C NMR spectra of conformational polymorphs Form I (δ 28.5) and III (δ 22.9) of (1S,4S)‐sertraline HCl ( 1 ) were correlated with a γ‐gauche effect resulting from the respective 162.6° antiperiplanar and 68.8° (+)‐synclinal C(2)? C(1)? N? CH₃ torsion angles as measured by X‐ray crystallography. The similarity of the solution‐state C(2) chemical shifts in CD₂Cl₂ (δ 22.8) and DMSO‐d₆ (δ 23.4) with that for Form III (and other polymorphs having C(2)? C(1)? N? CH₃ (+)‐synclinal angles) strongly suggests that a conformational bias about the C(1)? N bond exists for 1 in both solvents. This conclusion is supported by density functional theory B3LYP/6‐31G(d)‐calculated relative energies of C(1)? N rotameric models: (kcal) 0.00 [73.8 °C(2)? C(1)? N? CH₃ torsion angle], 0.88 (168.7°), and 2.40 (?63.4°). A Boltzmann distribution of these conformations at 25 °C is estimated to be respectively (%) 80.3, 18.3, and 1.4.

The shielding of H-α in the stabilized rotameric forms of α,α-di-tert-butylthioacetic esters. The electric and magnetic anisotropic effects of the thione group

The currently accepted geometry of carbonyl magnetic anisotropic effects, if regarded as extendable to the thione group, imply that the more deshielded of the two H-α lines in the ¹H NMR spectra of α,α-di-tert-butylthioacetic esters should be assigned to the ‘180° form’ in which C?S is antiperiplanar to C-α? H. CNDO results, however, indicate the opposite; the line should be assigned to the ‘O° form,’ in which C? S eclipses C-α? H, if the predicted considerable increase in 1s density at H-α on going from the 0° form to the 180° form is taken into account. A change in 1s density at H-α as a result of increased branching of alkylation at C-α is also found. These specific effects must be taken into account when discussing the anisotropic effects of C?O or C?S on H-α shifts.     

Temperature effects on 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of normal alkanes and some line r and branched 1-alkenes

¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of a number of 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes are presented. Moreover, effects of changing temperatures on the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of some of these compounds as well as of three normal alkanes are given. These variations in chemical shifts are attributed to varying amounts of sterically induced shifts in the different conformational equilibria. In addition to the well-known 1,4 interaction between two alkyl groups shielding effects on the carbon atoms of the connecting bonds are also proposed. No definite explanation of this effect is presented at this time. It is further shown that no simple correlations exist between ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts and calculated total charge densities at this level. Instead, the experimental results in 1-alkenes are rationalized by assuming a linear dependence of the ¹³C n.m.r. chemical shifts of C-1 and C-2 via rehybridizations on changes in bond angles for small skeletal deformations caused by steric interactions. These changes in geometries, as well as conformational energies in three 1-alkenes, were calculated by means of VFF calculations. Finally. upfield shifts for both C-2 and C-4 are proposed for those conformations of 1-alkenes in which the C-3? C-4 group interacts with the p_z-orbital of C-2.     

13C n.m.r. spectra of some polychloroalkenes

¹³C n.m.r. spectra have been measured for thirty-two polychloroalkenes including (i) monosubstituted compounds CH₂?CHCCl_nH_2?nX, where ? X stands for ? H, ? Cl, alkyl, and trisubstituted alkenes CCl₂?CHAlk, none of which form geometric isomers; (ii) disubstituted compounds RCH?CHR′; (iii) and (iv) trisubstituted compounds of the types RCCl?CHR′ and CHCl?CClR, respectively. Compounds (ii) to (iv) represent either individual isomers or mixtures of the Z and E forms. In the case of compounds (ii) and (iii), the ordering of chemical shifts is δ_E > δ_Z for the sp²-carbon atoms and δ_E < δ_z for the adjacent tetrahedral ones. On the contrary, the signals of the sp²-carbon atoms of compounds (iv) obey the rule δ_E < δ_z. The effect of vinyl and allyl groups as substituents on the ¹³C chemical shifts of chlorine-containing groups is discussed. The dependence of the sp²-carbon spin–spin coupling constants J(¹³C? ¹H) on the number of chlorinated substituents in the molecule is also considered.     

13C NMR investigations of phenol–triethylamine complexes: Influence of hydrogen bond interaction on the electronic structure of the aliphatic chain

The influence of hydrogen bond formation on ¹³C chemical shifts at the α and β positions of triethylamine and tri-n-butylamine has been investigated by dipole moment measurements and CNDO/2 calculations. It has been shown that a hydrogen bridge dipole moment occurs during complexation. Moreover, the change observed in the C-α? C-β bond dipole moment is proportional to the hydrogen bridge dipole moment, but is approximately 100 times smaller. This change has been related to differences between the ¹³C chemical shifts at the α and β positions of amines.     

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts of some α-(2-hydroxyaryl)-N-phenylnitrones (Schiff base N-oxides)

The deuterium isotope effect on the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of some α-2-hydroxyaryl-N-phenylnitrones (Schiff base N-oxides) was studied. The existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the proton localized on the phenolic oxygen atom was evidenced. Exceptionally large isotope effects ΔC-2(D) and ΔC-α(D) suggest that the substitution of the proton of the OH group by deuterium leads to a weakening of the hydrogen bond and some conformational changes in the molecule. This conclusion was drawn on the basis of a comparison of the deuterium isotope effects of Schiff base N-oxides and parent Schiff bases. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ab initio studies of structural features not easily amenable to experiment. 42. Molecular geometries and conformational analysis of methylbutanoate

Conformational energy profiles were calculated for τ₁, the C? C? C?O torsion, and τ₂, the C? C? C? C torsion, of methyl butanoate, using Pulay's ab initio gradient procedure at the 4-21G level with geometry optimization at each point. In addition, the structures of seven conformations were fully relaxed, including the energy minima (τ₁, τ₂) = (0, ?60), (0, 180), (120, 180), (120, ?60), and the maxima (0, 0), (180, 180), and (60, ?60). The calculated geometries confirm the previously formulated rule that, in saturated hydrocarbons, a C? H bond trans to a C? C bond (C? H_s) is consistently shorter than a C? H bond (C? H_a) trans to another C? H bond. Specifically, for X? C(α) (? O)? C(β)? C(γ)? C(δ) systems, the following rules can be formulated, incorporating results from previous studies of butanal, butanoic acid, and 2-pentanone: (1) C(δ)? H_s < C(δ)? H_a in all the conformers in which the δ-methyl group is remote from the ester group; whereas, in all the conformers in which nonbonded interactions are possible between the C(δ)-methyl and the ester groups, the bonding pattern is affected by a C? H ?O?C interaction. (2) In the most stable conformers, (0, 60), C(β)? H_a < C(β)? H_s, and C(γ)? H_a < C(γ)? H_s, regardless of X. (3) The average C? C bonds in the τ₂ = 180° conformers are consistently shorter than those with τ₂ = 60° (compared at τ₁ constant). In the most stable conformations (τ₁ = 0°, τ₂ = 60° or 180°), the bonding sequence is consistently C(α)? C(β) < C(β)? C(γ) < C(γ)? C(δ); whereas, when τ₁ = 120°, C(α)? C(β) < C(β)? C(γ) > C(γ)? C(δ).     

Estimation of Dimerisation Constants from Complexatin-Induced Displacements of 1H-NMR Chemical Shifts: Dimerisation of Caffeine

The determination of the dimerisation constant (K^D) for the weak self-association of a compound C in dilute solution according to the equilibrium, 2C?C₂ is described. The method uses chemical shifts measured on a series of solutions of C at different concentrations: the optimum K^D is defined by a linear regression best-fit procedure, which simultaneously determines optimum values for δ_o and also for δ_∞, the intrinsic chemical shifts for nuclei in the monomer and dimer species. The dimerisation of caffeine in D₂O is used as a model to demonstrate the working of the method and the quality of results obtained. The most probable value of K_D for caffeine at 30.5° is found in the range 5.5–6.0 kg solution · mol^?1, and the enthalpy and entropy of dimerisation are found to be ΔH^? = ?15.1 kJ · mol^?1 and ΔS^? = ?35.3 J · °C^?1 · mol^?1, respectively. The influence of small errors in δ_o on the confidence limits of K^D is discussed.     

Zur Interpretation 29Si-NMR-chemischer Verschiebungen

The ²⁹Si-NMR chemical shifts δ(²⁹Si) of (CH₃)_4?nSiX_n compounds and some ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts δ(¹³C) of analogous carbon compounds are discussed by means of relative paramagnetic screening constants σ*, calculated by a simplified model. In this model only the Si(3P)- and C(2P)-orbitals are considered; for the calculations, the electronegativities of Si, C and the X-substituents and a single empirical parameter are necessary. The calculated values of σ* are in good agreement with the change of the chemical shifts which are observed for the (CH₃)_4?nMX_n compounds with different X and n. These results clearly show that δ(²⁹Si) and δ(¹³C) depend primarily on the σ-charge of the Si- and C-atom, and that (P? d)π-interactions on the Si-atom are of minor importance.     

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXXII [1, 2]. Di-cyclo-hexoyl- und Diadamant-1-oylphosphan — Keto-Enol-Tautomerie und Struktur

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXXII. Di-cyclohexoyl- and Diadamant-1-oylphosphine – Keto-Enol Tautomerism and Structure Lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME (¹) [12] and cyclo-hexoyl or adamant-1-oyl chloride react in a molar ratio of 3:2 to give lithium di-cyclo-hexoylphosphide · DME and the corresponding diadamant-1-oylphosphide.2THF (¹) resp. Treatment of these two compounds with 85% tetrafluoroboric acid. diethylether adduct yields di-cyclo-hexoyl- ( 1b ) and diadamant-1-oylphosphine ( 1c ). In nmr spectroscopic studies 1b over a range of 203 to 343 K, a strong temperature dependence of the keto-enol equilibrium is found; thermodynamic data characteristic for the formation of the enol tautomer (ΔH⁰ = ?4.3 kJ. mol^?1; ΔS⁰ = ?9.2 J. mol^?1. K (^?1) are compared of 1,3-diketones. The enol tautomer of diadamant-1-oylphosphine ( E-1c ) as obtained from a benzene solution in thin colourless plates, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c {a = 722.2(2); b = 1085.5(4); c = 2434.8(5) pm; ß = 96.43(2)° at –100 ± 3°C; Z = 4}. An X- ray structure analysis (R_w = 0.033) shows bond lengths and angles to be almost identical within the enolic system (P? C 179/180; C? O 130/129; C? C(adamant-1-yl) 152/153 pm; C? P? C 99°; P? C? O 124°/124°; P? C? C 120°/120°; C? C? O 116°/116°. The geometry of the very strong, but probably asymmetric O‥H‥O bridge is discussed (O? H 120/130, O‥O 245 pm).     

Very-low-pressure pyrolysis of nitroso- and pentafluoronitrosobenzene C?NO bond dissociation energies

The high-pressure absolute rate constants for the decomposition of nitrosobenzene and pentafluoronitrosobenzene were determined using the very-low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique. Bond dissociation energies of DH⁰(C₆H₅? NO) = 51.5 ± 1 kcal/mole and DH⁰ (C₆F₅? NO) = 50.5 ± 1 kcal/mole could be deduced if the radical combination rate constant is set at log k_r(M^?1·sec^?1) = 10.0 ± 0.5 for both systems and the activation energy for combination is taken as 0 kcal/mole at 298°K. δH_f⁰(C₆H₅NO), δH_f⁰(C₆F₅NO), and δH_f⁰(C₆F₅) could be estimated from our kinetic data and group additivity. The values are 48.1 ± 1, –160 ± 2, and – 130.9 ± 2 kcal/mole, respectively. C–X bond dissociation energies of several perfluorinated phenyl compounds, DH⁰(C₆F₅–X), were obtained from the reported values of δH_f⁰(C₆F₅X) and our estimated δH_f⁰(C₆F₅) [X = H, CH₃, NO, Cl, F, CF₃, I, and OH].     

Comparison of the substituent effects on the 13C NMR with the 1H NMR chemical shifts of CHN in substituted benzylideneanilines

Fifty‐two samples of substituted benzylideneanilines XPhCH?NPhYs (XBAYs) were synthesized, and their NMR spectra were determined in this paper. Together with the NMR data of other 77 samples of XBAYs quoted from literatures, the ¹H NMR chemical shifts (δ_H(CH?N)) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts (δ_C(CH?N)) of the CH?N bridging group were investigated for total of 129 samples of XBAYs. The result shows that the δ_H(CH?N) and δ_C(CH?N) have no distinctive linear relationship, which is contrary to the theoretical thought that declared the δ_H(CH?N) values would increase as the δ_C(CH?N) values increase. With the in‐depth analysis, we found that the effects of σ_F and σ_R of X/Y group on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are opposite; the effects of the substituent specific cross‐interaction effect between X and Y (Δσ²) on the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) are different; the contributions of parameters in the regression equations of the δ_H(CH?N) and the δ_C(CH?N) [Eqns 4 and 7), respectively] also have an obvious difference.

Geometrical isomerism and 13C spectra of the β-substituted Enones R1?C(1)O?C(2)HC(3)H?R2

The ¹³C chemical shifts of the unsaturated carbons were measured in 31 cis and trans pairs of β-substituted enones R₁? C(1)O? C(2)H?C(3)H? R₂. In these polarized ethylenes the chemical shifts of the olefinic carbons are simply related by the equation δ_c=δ_t+A. The steric and electronic effects introduced by the R₁ and R₂ substituents influence the chemical shifts of C-2 and C-3 in both isomers. It is shown that the sign and magnitude of the intercept A mainly reflect the π-charge electronic density changes which arise in the cis isomer and are transmitted via the π-framework. The effect of the steric interaction on the chemical shift of C-3 in the cis isomers is postulated to be related to the symmetry of the substituents. Therefore, the differential shielding of C-3 is indicative of the conformational structure of the cis molecule.     

Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire et Stéréochimie d'un Composé Cyclopropanique d'Intérět Thérapeutique. Résonance du Proton à 250 MHz avec Triple Irradiation

1-Pivaloyl-2-hydroxymethylcyclopropane is studied with nuclear magnetic resonance. The C-1? C-2 configuration is determined from the 250 MHz n.m.r. spectrum (triple irradiation experiments have been performed for this purpose). Rotational isomerism around the ring-carbonyl bond is studied from the ASIS effect. Rotational isomerism around the ring-hydroxymethyl bond is studied from vicinal coupling constants over a temperature range of ?20 to +125°C. From the J(HOCH) coupling constant (in CCl₄) rotamer populations of the hydroxyl group are examined and the overall conformational distribution can be established.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of saturated heterocycles: XI—Tetrahydropyrans (oxanes)

The ¹³C NMR spectra of 62 oxanes (tetrahydropyrans) with and without methyl substituents at various ring positions, some of them bearing in addition (or instead) ethyl, vinyl, ethynyl, carbomethoxy and methylol substituents at C-2, have been recorded, and the 294 resulting chemical shifts have been correlated by multiple linear regression analysis. Axial and equatorial α-, β-, γ-, δ-, gem- and vic-parameters for shifts caused by methyl groups at all ring positions, and similar parameters for Et,—CH?CH₂,—C?CH, CO₂Me and CH₂OH groups at C-2, are reported. Standard deviations of the parameters are, in most cases, within 0.3 ppm and the agreement of calculated and experimental shifts is excellent. This is probably the largest parameter set of this type extant. ¹³C NMR spectra of a number of additional substituted tetrahydropyrans, and of 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans, are tabulated and discussed.     

Carbon-13 NMR studies of twenty-four methyl-substituted morpholines

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of all the isomers of monomethyl-, 2,3-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,5-dimethyl-, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-trimethyl- and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylmorpholine have been obtained at both ambient (25 °C) and low temperature (～ ?100 to ?120 °C). The ring carbon shifts appear to be additive with respect to the position of the methyl groups. A good correlation between predicted and experimental shift values was obtained (r = 0.998₉). The values were used in an attempt to assign, conformationally, the ‘all cis’ isomer 2,3,5,6-tetramethylmorpholine, which from ¹HNMR spin–spin coupling studies has been unsuccessful. Methyl carbon shifts to high field were found for axially oriented carbons. The extracted ‘steric shift’ values for such carbons were compared to their corresponding proton shift data.     

N.m.r. studies of the keto–enol tautomerism of acylthioacetamides

Acetylthioacetamides exist as different keto and enol isomers in chloroform solutions. The keto form with intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH and the carbonyl group is the dominant keto isomer. On the other hand the enol forms with intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the OH and the thioketo group are the dominant enol isomers in the temperature range 60°C to ?60°C. The thermodynamic data of the keto-enol equilibria were obtained by measuring the intensities of appropriate high resolution proton signals as a function of temperature. At low temperatures all lines characteristic of the enol forms are doubled in the N-phenyl-substituted derivatives because the rotation of the NH? C₆H₅ group around the C? N bond becomes slow and the chemical shifts characteristic of the E and Z isomers are different. We estimated approximate thermodynamic data of the E/Z equilibrium in some of the compounds. The changes of the line shape as well as the chemical shifts as a function of temperature indicate the presence of various additional exchange processes. In order to obtain further information we performed curve fittings of the chemical shifts of one acetylthioacetanilide and of a series of monothio-β-diketones (studied in another paper) assuming a fast two site exchange process. On the basis of the results obtained a reaction scheme for N-substituted acylthioacetanilides in solution is proposed.     

1H and 13C NMR study of the enol–enolic tautomerism of some cyclic β-ketoaldehydes

Aldehyde (δCH) and enolic (δOH) proton chemical shifts, the corresponding spin–spin coupling constants (JCH,OH) and the ¹³C chemical shifts (δC) have been measured for three cyclic β-ketoaldehydes as a function of temperature. A tautomeric equilibrium has been shown to exist between the aldo–enol ( A ) and hydroxymethylene ketone ( B ) forms. The chemical shifts δCH δOH and δC for the two pure tautomeric forms A and B have been calculated. The enthalpy changes ΔH in the tautomeric process A ? B and the percentages of the tautomeric forms have been determined.     

Conformational Analysis. XIX properties and reactions of 1,3-oxathianes VIII A 1H NMR conformational study of methyl-substituted derivatives

The addition of thioacetic acid to unsaturated alcohols or acids was utilized to obtain mercaptoalkanols which were condensed with suitable carybonyl compounds to prepare 24 methyl-substituted 1,3-oxathianes. The ¹H NMR spectra of the 1,3-oxathiane products were recorded at 60, 100 and/or 300 MHz and fully analysed. The results are best explained by a chair form which is completely staggered in the C-4? C-5? C-6 moiety ψ₄₅ or (ψ₅₆=60±1°). 1,3-Oxathianes having syn-axial 2,4- (and/or 2,6-) methyl-methyl interactions exist appreciably, if not exclusively, in twist forms. The vicinal coupling constants lead to the conformational free energies of axial methyl groups at C-4, ΔG°=7.4±0.4 kJ mol^?1, and at C-5, ΔG°=3.7±0.3 kJ mol^?1, in good agreement with previous estimates. They also show that both r-4,cis-5,trans-6- and r-4,trans-5,trans-6- trimethyl-1,3-oxathianes greatly favour the chiar form where the methyl group at C-4 is axial. The chair-twist energy parameters are reestimated at ΔH°_CT 27.0 kJ mol^?1, ΔS°_CT 11.6J mol^?1K^?1, and ΔG°_CT(298) 23.5 kJ mol^?1 for a 2,5-twist form.
