13C NMR investigations of molecular order of rod-like,bent-core,and thiophene mesogens

In this review, methods to obtain the orientational order of topologically variant molecular mesogens using by one- and two-dimensional (2D) solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are described. Besides ¹³C chemical shifts, the ¹³C─¹H dipolar couplings measured from 2D-separated local field (SLF) technique are used for computing the order parameters of a variety of mesogens. The investigated molecules are composed of a variable number of rings in the core, that is, core ranging from simply one ring to five rings. Among the mesogens investigated, a special focus has been placed on mesogens with thiophene rings, which are gaining popularity as liquid crystalline organic semiconductors. The replacement of a phenyl ring by thiophene in the core has a dramatic influence on molecular topology, as observed from the measured order parameters. The review highlights the advantages of the 2D SLF method for understanding the local dynamics and for mapping the topology of mesogens through the measured order parameters. SLF NMR studies of as many as 24 molecular mesogens that vary in terms of the molecular structure as well as topology are covered in the review. Order parameters of the rings have been estimated from the ¹³C─¹H dipolar couplings in the nematic, smectic A, smectic C, and tilted hexatic phases as well as in B₁ and B₂ mesophases of various mesogens. It is anticipated that, in the years to come, the 2D SLF method would provide advanced molecular information on structurally complex mesogens that are emerging in liquid crystal science through the incessant efforts of synthetic chemists. The mini review covers the orientational order of topologically variant molecular mesogens determined by 1D and 2D solid-state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Accordingly, rod-like, bent-core, and thiophene mesogens were subjected to 2D SLF measurements to get the order parameters from which the topology was established. The replacement of phenyl ring by thiophene and its influence on order parameters as well as on molecular topology is also discussed.     

Orientational ordering of a bent-core mesogen by two-dimensional 13C NMR spectroscopy

Various two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques are reported on a bent-core mesogen 4,6-dichloro-1,3-phenylenebis[4'-(9-decenyloxy)-1,1'-biphenyl] carboxylate in its nematic and solid phases in order to unambiguously assign its carbon-13 NMR spectrum. The (13)C chemical shifts from the molecular core were studied as a function of temperature to extract its molecular geometry and orientational order tensor. To this end, the chemical shift anisotropy tensors of some carbon sites were measured in the solid state of this mesogen using a recent method called the separation of undistorted powder patterns by effortless recoupling (SUPER). The average bending angle subtended by the two arms of the bent-core structure is determined to be 148.7 degrees. The C-H dipolar couplings obtained from the separated local field (SLF) experiment for the aromatic rings are used to find the local order parameter tensors.     

(13)C NMR spectral assignment of 1,4-diarylpiperazinones

The piperazinone derivatives have potential application in the pharmaceutical, polymer and textile fields. The present work describes the preparation of a series of new 1,4-diarylsubstituted-2-piperazinones by condensation of substituted N,N'-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylenediamines with glyoxal and the complete (13)C NMR spectral assignment accomplished using APT, HMQC and HMBC techniques. Substituent chemical-shift effects (SCS) were calculated, which showed different values for the lactam- and amine-substituted aromatic rings. The results show that predictions based on SCS effects are not simple for these molecules due to electronic and steric effects. Moreover, in the case of the ortho-substituted derivative 2 g, the NMR spectra reveal a dynamic behavior related to restricted rotation of the phenyl groups (atropisomerism).

Complete 1H and 13C signal assignment of prenol‐10 with 3D NMR spectroscopy

The complete assignment of ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts of natural abundance prenol‐10 is reported for the first time. It was achieved using 3D NMR experiments, which were based on random sampling of the evolution time space followed by multidimensional Fourier transform. This approach makes it possible to acquire 3D NMR spectra in a reasonable time and preserves high resolution in indirectly detected dimensions. It is shown that the interpretation of 3D COSY–HMBC and 3D TOCSY–HSQC spectra is crucial in the structural analysis of prenol‐10. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for three aryltetralin lignan lactones

The relative stereochemistry of these compounds, which is very important with regard to their biological activity, was completely determined.     

Complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for nine protopanaxatriol glycosides

Nine protopanaxatriol glycosides isolated from mild acid hydrolysis products of crude root saponins of Panax notoginseng were identified as 20(R)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1, 20(S)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1, ginsenoside‐Rg1, ‐Re and ‐Rg2, notoginsenoside‐R2 and ‐R1, a mixture of 25‐hydroxy‐20(S)‐ginsenoside‐Rh1 and its C‐20 (R) epimer, ginsenoside‐Rh4. The complete assignments of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for these glycosides were obtained by means of 2D NMR techniques, including ¹H–¹H COSY, ROESY, HMQC, HMBC and HMQC‐TOCSY spectra. The glycosylation shift effect of protopanaxatriol and the differences in chemical shifts between 20(R)‐ and 20(S)‐protopanaxatriol isomers are also discussed. Except for ginsenoside‐Re and ‐Rg2, complete NMR assignments of the other seven glycosides are reported for the first time. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

三取代环丙烷的^1^3C核磁共振谱研究

前文曾报道三取代环丙烷的质子核磁共振谱及其解析结果,讨论了取代基对化学位移和偶合常数的影响.环丙烷的~(13)C核磁共振谱研究报道极少。Monti等人研究了甲基、溴代和乙炔基环丙烷的~(13)C核磁共振谱,发现在多取代的环丙烷中,取代基相互之间的影响是很显著的.Clague等人亦报道了一系列环丙烷的~(13)C核磁共振谱,但未有详细的分析.本文报道10种尚未见载于文献的三取代环丙烷的~(13)C核磁共振谱,数据见表1. 在1,2,3-三取代环丙烷中,由于取代基的相互作用,影响环上碳的化学位移的因素是比较复杂的.从我们测定化合物的数据来看,取代基为CH_3的环上碳的平均化学位移为29.24     

Comprehensive 1H and 13C NMR assignment of 13 protobassic acid saponins

This study aimed to carry out complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignment of 13 protobassic acid saponins, including arganins A–C ( 1 – 3 ) and F ( 4 ), butyrosides B–D ( 5 – 7 ), tieghemelin ( 8 ), 3′-O-glucosyl-arganin C ( 9 ), Mi-saponins A–C ( 10 – 12 ), and mimusopsin ( 13 ), recorded in methanol-d₄. This was accomplished by the analysis of high-resolution one-dimensional (1D) NMR (¹H and ¹³C), two-dimensional (2D) NMR (¹H–¹H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), and selectively excited 1D TOCSY spectra. Before this study, ¹H and ¹³C NMR data of arganins A–C ( 1 – 3 ) and F ( 4 ) were partially assigned. Our effort leads to their complete assignment, especially the glycon residue, and revises some reported data. Some revisions of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR data in the glycon part of butyroside C ( 6 ), tieghemelin ( 8 ), Mi-saponin A ( 10 ), and mimusopsin ( 13 ) were made. Those data of butyrosides B and D ( 5 & 7 ) and Mi-saponin B ( 11 ), which had not been recorded in methanol-d₄, are provided. In addition, the ¹H and ¹³C NMR data of Mi-saponin C ( 12 ) are reported for the first time. These data, being recorded in methanol-d₄, should be more friendly for use as a reference for identifying the related triterpenoid saponins.

Total assignment of 1H and 13C NMR data for the sesquiterpene lactone 15-deoxygoyazensolide

We describe a complete analysis of the 1H and 13C spectra of the anti-inflamatory, schistossomicidal and trypanosomicidal sesquiterpene lactone 15-deoxygoyazensolide. This lactone, with a structure similar to other important ones, was studied by NMR techniques such as COSY, HMQC, HMBC, Jres and NOE experiments. The comparison of the data with some computational results led to an unequivocal assignment of all hydrogen and carbon chemical shifts, even eliminating some previous ambiguities. We were able to determine all hydrogen coupling constants (J) and signal multiplicities and to confirm the stereochemistry. A new method for the determination of the relative position of the lactonization and the position of the ester group on a medium-sized ring by NMR was developed.     

Structural and spectral assignment of a new diterpenoid isolated from Ballota undulata and a complete (1)H and (13)C NMR data assignment for three other structurally related compounds

The structure of 3beta-hydroxyballotinone, a new labdane diterpenoid isolated from Ballota undulata, has been established by NMR spectroscopic studies. In addition, complete and unambiguous assignments of the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of three other already known labdanes (ballotinone, ballonigrin and ballonigrinone) isolated from the same source have been achieved. The assignments are based on 2D shift-correlated (1)H--(1)H COSY, (1)H--(13)C gHSQC [(1)J(C,H)] and (1)H--(13)C gHMBC [(n)J(C,H) (n = 2 and 3)], and NOE experiments.

Structural analysis of 1-vinylbenzazoles by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy

Analysis of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral parameters for 1-vinylbenzazoles has shown that the vinyl group has a predominantly trans orientation with respect to the condensed benzene ring. Additional evidence is given for a long range effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons on the one bond ¹³C-¹H and ¹H-¹H spin-spin couplings and on the ¹H chemical shifts.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 499–501, April, 1988.
