Deuterium isotope effects in 13C NMR spectroscopy: Stereochemical assignment of monodeuteriated allylic alcohols.

Vicinal deuterium isotope effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts, ³ΔC (Φ) are given for ten monodeuteriated allylic alcohols. The relationship found for nine of them: 3ΔC(0°) ≅ 5/3 x ³ΔC(180°) allows the stereochemical assignement of their deuterium labeling. This assignment is in agreement with that from the Karplus-type relationship of vicinal coupling constants, ³J_C-D(Φ).     

Topological increment scheme for13C NMR chemical shifts in aliphatic alcohols

We propose an additive empirical scheme for calculating the¹³C NMR chemical shifts in acyclic aliphatic alcohols. We show that the electron-acceptor effect of the OH group does not damp out at the -carbon and is apparent in the shielding of the - and -carbon atoms. The effect of the OH group has two components: a constant component determined by the electron-acceptor properties of the substituent (the true a effect of the OH group, equal to the change in the chemical shift of the methane carbon upon substitution of a hydrogen atom by a hydroxyl), and a variable component of steric origin, depending on some topological characteristics of the given molecule in the immediate vicinity of the carbon atom under consideration. Analogous relations are obtained for the and effects of the OH group.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2742–2746, December, 1990.     

Direct conversion of benzylic and allylic alcohols to phosphonates

Benzyl phosphonate esters often serve as reagents in Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions. In most cases, they can be prepared from benzylic alcohols via formation of the corresponding halide followed by an Arbuzov reaction. To identify a more direct synthesis of phosphonate esters, we have developed a one-flask procedure for conversion of benzylic and allylic alcohols to the corresponding phosphonates through treatment with triethyl phosphite and ZnI(2).     

Conformations and 13C NMR chemical shifts of some polyamides in the solid state as studied by high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy

High-resolution ¹³Carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of Nylons 4, 6, and 66 in the solid state were measured over a wide range of temperature. From the results, it was found that resonance lines of crystalline and noncrystalline components were separable and their chemical shifts were determined. The ¹³C chemical shift behavior is closely related to their conformation. The origin of the conformational effects on the chemical shifts is discussed.     

Conformations and 13C NMR shifts in tetralins

Force field (MM2) calculations, ¹³C NMR substituent-induced shifts (SIS) and epimeric shift differences (ESD) indicate a preference for equatorial substituents in the 2-position, but equal eq/ax populations in the 1-position of tetralines. Similar conclusions are reached from Yb(fod)₃-induced shifts, which are also used for signal assignments, e.g. in 1-tetralone. Configurational assignments are possible for 1,2- and 1,3-epimers (ESD up to 4 ppm) but, in line with the non-discriminating eq/ax conformations at C-I, not for 1,4-epimers (ESD<0.5 ppm). More than 50 compounds were measured, including functional derivatives which show regular SIS for substituents in the aromatic moiety only for m- and p-carbon atoms. OMe, but not OH or OAc substituents, induce o-carbon SIS varying from ?11 to ?19 ppm. Conversion of 1-hydroxytetralin to esters induces shielding variations at the aromatic carbon atoms which indicate the electrostatic origin of derivatization shifts.     

Estimation and prediction of 13C NMR chemical shifts of carbon atoms in both alcohols and thiols

Quantitative structure-spectrum relationship calculations of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of both 302 carbon atoms in 56 alcohols and 62 carbon atoms in 15 thiols are described using several parameters: the atomic ionicity index (INI), the polarizability effect index (PEI), and stereoscopic effect parameters (?) of the compounds. The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for these compounds of both alcohols and thiols can be estimated through the multiple linear regression (MLR). A MLR model was built with variable screening by the stepwise multiple regression and examined by validation on its stability. The correlation coefficient of the established model as well as the leave-one-out cross-validation was 0.9724 and 0.9716 respectively. The results obviously indicate that INI and ? are linearly related with ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, which provides a new method for calculating ¹³C NMR chemical shifts in the compounds of both alcohols and thiols.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of 13C1-labeled octanethiol-protected Au nanoparticles: shifts,relaxations, and particle-size effect

We report here an investigation of metal-ligand interactions in nanoparticles with 13C NMR, using a labeled 13C1-octanethiol, a protecting ligand for self-assembled monolayer (SAM) systems, in which close proximity of the 13C1 to the metal surface serves as an effective probe for the changing electronic environment. Several remarkable results have been obtained: as the metal core size increases from 1.6 to 4.0 nm, the 13C1 spectrum is downshifted from 40.5 to 53 ppm, and the spin-spin relaxation rate, T2-1, increases while the spin-lattice relaxation ratio decreases. Although the spin-lattice relaxation may be due to particle tumbling and ligand motion in the liquid state, the main source of the spin-spin relaxation, and NMR shift, is most possibly due to the changing electronic properties of the metal core.     

13C NMR shifts and conformations of substituted indans

¹³C NMR spectra of indan derivatives bearing substituents in the 1, 2, 5 and 6 positions are reported and assigned by LIS measurements and other techniques. Epimeric indanes bearing vicinal oxygen and phenyl or benzyl substituents show ring carbon shielding in the cis relative to the trans isomers, which is compared with corresponding cyclopentane shifts, and indicates the predominance of envelope conformations with pseudoaxial oxygen substituents for the cis isomers. Acetylation shifts show consistently larger shielding at C-β for the trans compounds. Introduction of oxygen at C-5 leads to asymmetric shielding effects at the ortho carbon atoms as soon as there is a substituent in the para position which can participate in mesomeric forms.     

A new method for the selective oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols

A new method is described for the selective oxidation of allylic or benzylic alcohols, in the presence of saturated alcohols, using trimethylamine-N-oxide in the presence of an iron carbonyl.     

Osmium (VI) catalyzed chemoselective oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols

A mild and highly chemoselective approach to oxidation of allylic, electron rich/deficient benzylic, and heterocyclic alcohols employing catalytic quantities of K₂[OsO₂(OH)₄] (3 mol %) and chloramine-T (50 mol %) is described. The protocol offers short reaction times (25 min–2 h), controlled oxidation, and tolerance to a variety of substrates. A systematic mechanistic study based on the LC-ESI-MS/MS reveals the presence of imidotriooxoosmium species which further reacts with alcohol to give the oxidized product.

Prediction of 13C NMR chemical shifts in substituted naphthalenes

The prediction of the ¹³C NMR signals for derivatives of naphthalene has been investigated using mathematical modeling techniques. Two empirical multiple regression models which utilize the field, resonance, and Charton's steric parameters together with molar refractivity were developed, one for α- and the other for β-substituted naphthalene derivatives. In the α case the model had a correlation coefficient of observed versus predicted line positions of r = 0.973 with a standard deviation of 2.2 ppm while in the β case r = 0.979 with the standard deviation being 2.3 ppm. The database consisted of 3152 signals from 394 naphthalene derivatives. We also report the use of the Taft steric parameter in place of the Charton steric parameter in the above- mentioned prediction equations.

The 13C NMR titration shifts of sulphonic acids

Carbon-13 chemical shifts of a number of alkyl and aromatic sulphonic acids in sulphuric acids in sulphuric acid and strongly basic deuterium oxide have been compared. The titration shifts are relatively small for carbons near the sulphonyl group, but are comparable with those of other organic acids or bases for carbons remote from the deprotonation sites.
