Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of anthraquinones. Part III—correlation of substituent effects for 2-substituted anthraquinones

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 2-substituted and 2,6-disubstituted anthraquinones have been determined and assigned. The C-1, 2, 3, 4, 13 and C-14 chemical shifts of 2-substituted anthraquinones are correlated with the chemical shifts of monosubstituted benzenes. A three-parameter correlation with Swain and Lupton's ? and ? parameters and Schaefer's Q parameter provides relationships for the prediction of all chemical shifts of 2-substituted anthraquinones from the substituent parameters. Q values for the SCH₃, OCOCH₃, C₂H₅ and C(CH₃)₃ groups are proposed. The two types of correlations are compared for predicting chemical shifts.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of a series of para-substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides. Comparisons of linear free energy relationships for carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 chemical shifts and rotation barriers

All carbon-13 chemical shifts for 11 para-substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides in 1 mole % chloroform solution are reported, with assignments based upon double resonance experiments, analogy to chemical shifts of benzamide, and self-consistency between experimental and calculated values using recognized substituent parameters. In contrast to earlier reports, the aryl carbon chemical shift assignments for N,N-dimethylbenzamide are C-2, 127.0; C-3, 128.7; C-4, 129.4, and for p-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide are C-1, 134.6; C-4, 135.5 ppm, relative to internal TMS. Good Hammett correlations (σ_p) are reported for ¹³C chemical shifts of C-1 (σ = 11.9 ppm) and even for the carbonyl group (σ = ?2.3 ppm) but are markedly improved if correlated with σ_p+ (σ = 9.5 ppm) and Dewar's F (σ = ?1.9 ppm), respectively. Excellent Swain–Lupton F and R correlations were found for some of the ¹³C chemical shifts and yielded values for percent resonance contributions to transmission of substituent effects as follows, C-1, 75 ± 4%; C-2, 51 ± 3%; C?O, 31±2%. These are compared to similar values calculated from the C?O of benzoic acids of 34±10%, and from the nitrogen-15 chemical shifts of benzamides of 56±2%. Correlations of these ¹³C δ values and ¹⁵N δ values with rotation barriers (ΔG) for N,N-dimethylbenzamides were examined, and it was found that while C?O δ values correlated only poorly the C-1 δ values correlated very well, but the best correlation was for ¹⁵N δ values of benzamides. It is suggested that Δ G and δ ¹⁵N are intrinsically related due to their numerical correlation, and the close similarity in percent resonance contribution of substituent influence on these parameters.     

High-resolution 13C NMR study of free and metal-complexed ionophores in the solid state: Conformation and dynamics of the macrocyclic ring and the effect of intermolecular short contact of methyl groups on spin–lattice relaxation times and displacements of chemical shifts

High-resolution ¹³C NMR spectra of 15 samples of uncomplexed and metal-complexed tetranactin and nonactin were recorded in the solid state, revealing characteristic displacements of peaks due to complex formation and the effect of crystalline packing on the ¹³C chemical shifts and spin–lattice relaxation times of the methyl groups. The C-1 ¹³C chemical shifts of uncomplexed and complexed tetranaction and nonactin are well related to the variation of nearby torsion angles characteristic of the macrocyclic conformation, as determined by x-ray diffraction. The existence of short intermolecular contact of methyl groups (<3.8 Å) at the surface of the molecules results in either prolonged ¹³C spin–lattice relaxation times in the laboratory frame (T₁^C) or substantial upfield displacement of peaks (up to 6 ppm). In addition, significantly reduced T₁^C values in uncomplexed nonactin (one order of magnitude smaller than those of other compounds) was ascribed to the presence of a puckering motion of the tetrahydrofuran ring and fluctuation of the macrocyclic ring in the solid state (with a time scale of 10⁻⁸ _s). Finally, how the conformations of these compounds in the solid are retained in chloroform solution was examined in view of the differences in the ¹³C chemical shifts between the solid and solution.     

Versuche zur Berechnung der chemischen Verschiebung von 1H, 13C und 19F Atomen in Aliphaten,Olefinen und Acetylenen

An attempt was made to predict the chemical shifts of ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹F atoms based on SCF LCGO MO calculations. The expectation value 〈1/R〉 as a measure for the diamagnetism was calculated exactly, the paramagnetism approximated by 〈1/R³〉 and values of the charge density bond order matrix. The influence of the neighbouring atoms was calculated point by point by the electron-density p(r) estimated by a spherical screening function. The terms permit one to calculate the ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts in fluoroacetylene, fluoroethylene and fluoroethane by a linear relationship with a standard deviation of 0.39 ppm for ¹H and 1.6 ppm for ¹³C. The ¹⁹F chemical shifts were calculated directly by assuming σ_dia: σ_para = 1:10.     

NMR studies of the chalcogen analogues of benzofuran. IV—Proton,carbon-13 and selenium-77 magnetic resonance in nitrobenzo[b]selenophenes

The ¹H, ¹³C and ⁷⁷Se chemical shifts have been measured for mononitrobenzo[ b ]selenophenes. For the homocyclic nuclei, the observed ¹H- and ¹³C-values calculated from the empirical increments of nitrobenzene. Anomalous effects are observed in the 2- and 3-substituted derivatives and the nature of the Se? NO₂ interactions in the former is discussed. ⁷⁷Se chemical shifts of the 4-, 5- and 7-nitro derivatives are approximately correlated with the CNDO calculated electron densities; they also compare well with those of selenoanisoles and other phenyl alkyl selenides. The chemical shifts are also compared with the corresponding values in other heterocycles containing a selenophene moiety.     

Diazanaphthalenes: A 13C NMR investigation on the site of protonation and pKa values

The pH dependence of the ¹³C chemical shifts (δ) of the diazanaphthalenes has been recorded. From this dependence the pK_a values have been determined using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. The change in ¹³C chemical shifts under the influence of nitrogen protonation (Δδ) has been predicted using the Δδ values of quinoline and isoquinoline. The correlation between observed and expected Δδ values of the symmetric diazanaphthalenes is very good. Assuming these changes in chemical shifts to be of general validity, the site of protonation in the asymmetric diazanaphthalenes has been determined by comparison of the expected Δδ values for α- and β-nitrogen protonation with the observed ones. The site of protonation for 1,6- and 1,7-naphthyridine is the β-nitrogen atom, whereas for cinnoline both monoprotonated species are present in a significant amount.     

13C n.m.r. investigation on the first and second nitrogen protonation in the diazanaphthalenes

The ¹³C chemical shifts of the diazanaphthalenes have been recorded as a function of the pH value, providing classical titration curves. From these curves the pK₁ and pK₂ values have been determined taking into account the activity coefficients. The changes in ¹³C chemical shift under the influence of nitrogen protonation (Δδ) can be described by two protonation parameter sets.     

Quantum‐chemical analyses of aromaticity,UV spectra,and NMR chemical shifts in plumbacyclopentadienylidenes stabilized by Lewis bases

We carried out a series of zeroth‐order regular approximation (ZORA)‐density functional theory (DFT) and ZORA‐time‐dependent (TD)‐DFT calculations for molecular geometries, NMR chemical shifts, nucleus‐independent chemical shifts (NICS), and electronic transition energies of plumbacyclopentadienylidenes stabilized by several Lewis bases, (Ph)₂(^tBuMe₂Si)₂C₄PbL₁L₂ (L₁, L₂ = tetrahydrofuran, Pyridine, N‐heterocyclic carbene), and their model molecules. We mainly discussed the Lewis‐base effect on the aromaticity of these complexes. The NICS was used to examine the aromaticity. The NICS values showed that the aromaticity of these complexes increases when the donation from the Lewis bases to Pb becomes large. This trend seems to be reasonable when the 4n‐Huckel rule is applied to the fractional π‐electron number. The calculated ¹³C‐ and ²⁰⁷Pb‐NMR chemical shifts and the calculated UV transition energies reasonably reproduced the experimental trends. We found a specific relationship between the ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts and the transition energies. As we expected, the relativistic effect was essential to reproduce a trend not only in the ²⁰⁷Pb‐NMR chemical shifts and J[Pb‐C] but also in the ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts of carbons adjacent to the lead atom. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

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.     

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.     

1H and 13C NMR study of 8-hydroxyquinoline and some of its 5-substituted analogues

¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) and its 5-Me, 5-F, 5-Cl, 5-Br and 5-NO₂ derivatives have been studied in DMSO-d₆ solution. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts and proton–proton, proton–fluorine, carbon–proton and carbon–fluorine coupling constants have been determined. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts have been correlated with the charge densities on the hydrogen and carbon atoms calculated by the CNDO/2 method. The correlation of the ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts with the total charge densities on the carbon atoms is approximately linear (r_H² = 0.85, r_C² = 0.84). The proton in peri position to the nitro group in 5-NO₂-oxine is an exception.     

QSAR studies of phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives based on the 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts

The quantitative structure–activity relationship models of 40 phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives were established between the ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts and the antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia cerealis, and Colletotrichum capsici. The models were validated by R, R², R_A², variance inflation factor, F, and P values testing and residual analysis. It was concluded from the models that the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of C8, C10, C7, and the ¹H NMR chemical shifts of Ha contributed positively to the activity against Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum capsici, and Rhizoctonia cerealis, respectively. The models indicated that decreasing the election cloud density of specific nucleuses in compounds, for example, by the substituting of electron withdrawing groups, would improve the antifungal activity. These models demonstrated the practical application meaning of chemical shifts in the quantitative structure–activity relationship study. Furthermore, a practical guide was provided for further structural optimization of the antifungal phenylhydrazine-substituted tetronic acid derivatives based on the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts.     

15N-, 1H-, and 13C-NMR chemical shifts and electronic properties of aromatic diamines and dianhydrides

We measured the ¹⁵N-, ¹H-, and ¹³C-NMR chemical shifts for a series of aromatic diamines and aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides dissolved in DMSO-d₆, and discuss the relationships between these chemical shifts and the rate constants of acylation (k) as well as such electronic-property-related parameters such as ionization potential (IP), electronic affinity (EA), and the energy ε of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). The ¹⁵N chemical shifts of the amino group of diamines (δ_N) depend monotonically on the logarithm of k (log k) and on IP. We inferred the reactivities of diamines whose acylation rates have not been measured from their δ_N, and we propose an arrangement of diamines in the order of their reactivity. The ¹H chemical shift of amino hydrogens (δ_H) and the ¹³C chemical shift of carbons bonded to nitrogen (δ_C) are roughly proportional to δ_N, but these shifts are not as closely correlated with log k and IP. Although the ¹³C chemical shifts of the carbonyl carbon of dianhydrides (δ_C,) varies much less than the δ_C and δ_N of diamines, δ_C, can be an index of acylation reactivity for dianhydrides because it is closely correlated with ε_LUMO. These facts indicate that the chemical shifts of diamines and dianhydrides are displaced according to their electron-donor and electron-acceptor properties, and that these chemical shifts can be used as indices of the electronic properties of monomers. Changes in reactivity caused by the introduction of trifluoromethyl groups into diamines and dianhydrides are inferred from the displacements of δ_N and δ_C © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Elektronenstruktur und NMR-Parameter von substituierten 5-Phenyl-2,4-pentadiensäuren

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts as well as vicinal HH coupling constants of substituted 5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienoic acids Ar? CH?CH? CR?CR? COOH are reported and discussed in connection with the molecular structure. The ¹³C chemical shift values show an alternation along the chain and can be linearly correlated to the π-electron charge densities as calculated by use of the PPP-method. The effect of para-substituents and solvents upon the ¹³C chemical shifts can be described in terms of the mutual atom-atom polarizabilities.     

Über die pH-Abhängigkeit der 31P- und 31C-NMR-Spektren von Cyclohexan-, Cyclohexen- und Benzenphosphonsäuren

About the pH-Dependence of ³¹P and ¹³C NMR Spectra of Cyclohexane-, Cyclohexene-, and Benzenephosphonic Acids ³¹P and ¹³C chemical shifts as well as P? C coupling constants of phosphonic acids are affected by the pH of the investigated solutions. This dependence was measured for aqueous solutions of cyclohexane-, cyclohex-1-ene-, cyclohex-2-ene-, cyclohex-3-ene-, and benzenephosphonic acid. It is shown that the ³¹P chemical shift and various ¹³C chemical shifts are well suited for the determination of pK_a values.     

13C Spin-Lattice Relaxation Times and the Mobility of Organic Molecules in Solution

While the chemical shifts and coupling constants of ¹³C NMR belong to the most powerful tools available to the organic chemist for the solution of structural problems, increasing interest is being shown in ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation times T₁ as structural parameters. Together with the nuclear Overhauser effects arising by proton decoupling of ¹³C NMR spectra, the T₁ values of ¹³C nuclei in a molecule permit conclusions to be drawn with regard to relaxation mechanisms. They reflect the inter- and intramolecular mobility of a molecule, and thus complement the results of temperature-dependent NMR spectroscopy. The T₁ differences within a molecule show, for instance, whether the molecular motion is anisotropic in solution, whether the internal motion of groups is subject to steric hindrance, the extent to which strong intermolecular or interionic interactions affect the flexibility of the molecule, and which parts of the molecule are rigid and which are flexible. Finally, differences between the T₁ values measured for the ¹³C nuclei of a molecule frequently provide a reliable aid in the assignment of ¹³C NMR spectra, particularly in cases of signal crowding and multiplet overlapping.     

Scaling factors for carbon NMR chemical shifts obtained from DFT B3LYP calculations

A linear scaling of the calculated chemical shifts is used in order to improve the accuracy of the DFT predicted ¹³C NMR chemical shifts. The widely applied method of GIAO B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) optimized geometries is chosen, which allows cost-effective calculations of the ¹³C chemical shifts in the molecular systems with 100 and more atoms. A set of 27 ¹³C NMR chemical shifts determined experimentally for 22 simple molecules with various functional groups is used in order to determine scaling factors for reproducing experimentally measured values of ¹³C chemical shifts. The results show that the use of a simple relationship (δ_scalc = 0.95 δ_calc + 0.30, where δ_calc and δ_scalc are the calculated and the linearly scaled values of the ¹³C chemical shifts, respectively) allows to achieve a three-fold improvement in mean absolute deviations for 27 chemical shifts considered. To test the universal applicability of the scaling factors derived, we have used complex organic molecules such as taxol and a steroid to demonstrate the significantly improved accuracy of the DFT predicted chemical shifts. This approach also outperforms the recently recommended usage of the Hartree-Fock optimized geometries for the GIAO B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) calculations of the ¹³C chemical shifts.     

Déplacements Chimiques du Carbone 13, Constantes de Couplage 1J(CH) et 3J(CH) dans une série de dérivés trisubstitués du benzène

¹³C chemical shifts, 1-bond and 3-bond (meta) ¹³C? H coupling constants have been determined in a series of trisubstituted benzene; the substituents are Cl, NH₂, N(C₂H₅)₂, N(iC₃H₇)₂, N(C₂H₄)₂O. Chemical shifts are only in moderate agreement with the usual additivity rules. Additivity rules relative to the above mentioned coupling constants are proposed. With few exceptions, the difference between predicted and observed values is less than 10%.     

NMR study of organosilicon compounds. III—Silicon-29, nitrogen-14, carbon-13 and proton NMR spectra of silylakylamines

²⁹Si, ¹⁴N ¹³C and ¹H NMR data are presented for a series of homologous (methylethoxysilyl)alkylamines of the type (CH₃)_3?n(C₂H₅O)_nSi(CH₂)_mNH₂(n=o to 3; m = 1 to 4). The measured ¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts correlate with the total net charges Q_A on the corressponding atoms, estimated by the Del Re method. ¹⁴N and ²⁹Si chemical shifts which do not show simple linear relationships to the charges are found to correlate with the relative basicities of the compounds. The influence of the remote substituent (? NH₂ and others) on the ₂₉Si chemical shifts is shown to depend on the number and nature of substituents directly on the silicon atom. Argyments for d-orbital participation in the Si? O bounds are given. The chemical shifts of ²⁹Si, ¹⁴N and ₁₃C nuclei are not consistent with the fromation of intramolecular ‘long bonds’ between the solicon and nitrogen atoms in aliphatic silymethylamines.     

1H NMR spectra part 31: 1H chemical shifts of amides in DMSO solvent

The ¹H chemical shifts of 48 amides in DMSO solvent are assigned and presented. The solvent shifts Δδ (DMSO‐CDCl₃) are large (1–2 ppm) for the NH protons but smaller and negative (?0.1 to ?0.2 ppm) for close range protons. A selection of the observed solvent shifts is compared with calculated shifts from the present model and from GIAO calculations. Those for the NH protons agree with both calculations, but other solvent shifts such as Δδ(CHO) are not well reproduced by the GIAO calculations. The ¹H chemical shifts of the amides in DMSO were analysed using a functional approach for near ( ≤ 3 bonds removed) protons and the electric field, magnetic anisotropy and steric effect of the amide group for more distant protons. The chemical shifts of the NH protons of acetanilide and benzamide vary linearly with the π density on the αN and βC atoms, respectively. The C=O anisotropy and steric effect are in general little changed from the values in CDCl₃. The effects of substituents F, Cl, Me on the NH proton shifts are reproduced. The electric field coefficient for the protons in DMSO is 90% of that in CDCl₃. There is no steric effect of the C=O oxygen on the NH proton in an NH…O=C hydrogen bond. The observed deshielding is due to the electric field effect. The calculated chemical shifts agree well with the observed shifts (RMS error of 0.106 ppm for the data set of 257 entries).
