NMR studies of 4(3H)-quinazolinones and 4(3H)-quinazolinethiones

Summary Unambiguous¹H and¹³C NMR assignments for 4(3H)-quinazolinones1–6 and their corresponding 4-thiones7–12 have been made. This resulted in the revision of the previous assignments for the two benzenoid carbons (C-5 and C-8) of quinazolinones1,2,4, and5. Thionation of the nucleophilic amides1–6 has been found to cause a distinct change in the¹³C chemical shift of particularly C-4, but also of those of C-4a, C-5, and C-8a. One-bond and several long range heteronuclear coupling constants for the compounds have also been measured.

Kernresonanzspektroskopie von 4(3H)-Chinazolinonen und 4(3H)-Chinazolinthionen

Zusammenfassung Die¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektren der 4(3H)-Chinazolinone1–6 und ihrer entsprechenden 4-Thione7–12 wurden zugeordnet. Dabei zeigte sich, daß eine frühere Zuordnung der beiden benzoiden Kohlenstoffe (C-5 und C-8) der Chinazolinone1,2,4 und5 falsch war. Ersatz des Sauerstoffs durch Schwefel in den nukleophilen Amiden1–6 führt insbesondere für C-4, aber auch für C-4a, C-5 und C-8a zu einer deutlichen Änderung der chemischen Verschiebung. Heteronukleare Kopplungskonstanten über eine und über mehrere Bindungen wurden bestimmt.

     

Conformational studies by dynamic NMR. 91. Conformational stereodynamics of tetraethylmethane and analogous C(CH2X)4 compounds

Variable-temperature NMR studies of tetraethylmethane (1a), tetrapropylmethane (1b), tetrachloromethylmethane (1c), tetrabromomethylmethane (1d), tetracyclopropylmethylmethane (1e), and tetrabenzylmethane (1f) show a range of dynamic behavior. Separate signals for two types of conformation are observed for 1a, 1c, and 1d at low temperatures, with more than 95% of the molecules in a time-averaged D2d conformation, and the S4 conformation as the minor populated alternative. Compound 1e populates only S4-type conformations but equilibrates slowly between degenerate versions of these at low temperatures. Compounds 1b and 1f show a temperature-dependent spectrum but the low-temperature limit spectrum could not be observed. Ab initio calculations agree well with experiment on the conformational equilibria and suggest in particular that compounds 1b and 1f behave similarly to compounds 1a and 1e, respectively. A crystal structure of compound 1f is reported.     

UV-vis, IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic studies of some Schiff bases derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine

Five Schiff bases derived from 4-aminoantipyrine and benzaldehyde derivatives (I) are prepared and their UV-vis, IR, (1)H NMR and fluorescence spectra are investigated and discussed. The electronic absorption spectra of the hydroxy 4-aminoantipyrine Schiff bases Ib and Ie as well as the fluorescence spectra of Ie are studied in the organic solvents of different polarity. The UV-vis absorption spectra of 4-aminoantipyrine Schiff bases Ib, Id and Ie are investigated in aqueous buffer solutions of varying pH and utilized for the determination of pK(a) and DeltaG of the ionization process. The reactions of the hydroxy compounds Ib and Ie with Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions are also studied. The results of spectral studies are supported by some molecular orbital calculations using an atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital theory for a compound Ib.     

Synthesis and 1H NMR studies of paramagnetic nickel(II) complexes containing bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands with dendritic substituents

The substituted bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands RCH(3,5-Me2pz)2(R=SiMe3, CH2Ph, G1, G2, and G3; Gn=Fréchet-type dendritic wedges of generation n) have been prepared starting from H2C(3,5-Me2pz)2. Reaction of these didentate ligands with [NiBr2(DME)] is a straightforward procedure that allows the synthesis of the nickel(II) complexes [NiBr2{RCH(3,5-Me2pz)2}]. The molecular structure of compound (R=CH2Ph) has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The nickel centre coordinates two bromine and two nitrogen atoms in a tetrahedral environment, and the metallacycle Ni(NN)2C adopts a boat conformation with the benzyl group in an axial position. 1H NMR studies have been carried out to characterize these paramagnetic nickel compounds in solution. Valuable information about the disposition of the ligands and dendritic wedges in solution has been obtained thanks to the influence of the paramagnetic centre on the proton resonances.     

Five-coordinate iron(III) porphycenes: (1)H NMR, magnetic, and structural studies

Five-coordinate iron(III) 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene (TPrPc)Fe(III)X (X = C(6)H(5)O(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), ClO(4)(-)) complexes have been investigated. The (1)H NMR spectra demonstrate downfield shifts for pyrrole resonances [(TPrPc)Fe(III)(C(6)H(5)O), 65.3 ppm; (TPrPc)Fe(III)Cl, 28.5 ppm] but large upfield ones for (TPrPc)Fe(III)Br (-7.8 ppm), (TPrPc)Fe(III)I (-49.4 ppm), and (TPrPc)Fe(III)ClO(4) (-77.1 ppm) (294 K, CD(2)Cl(2)). The pyrrole chemical shifts span the remarkable +70 to -80 ppm range. The variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectra of (TPrPc)Fe(III)X demonstrate anti-Curie behavior with a sign reversal for (TPrPc)Fe(III)Cl. These behaviors are consistent with the admixed S = 3/2, 5/2 ground electronic state with a dominating contribution of the S = 3/2 one. In terms of the chemical shift, (TPrPc)Fe(III)(ClO(4)) can be considered as an example of the purest S = 3/2 state in the investigated series. The extent of the S = 5/2 contribution in the admixed S = 3/2, 5/2 ground electronic state, as gradated solely the basis of the pyrrole proton paramagnetic shifts, is controlled by the strength of the axial ligand, following the magnetochemical series (Evans, D. R.; Reed, C. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 4660). Significantly iron(III) 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene, soluble in typical organic solvents, can be considered as a universal framework to classify the ligand strength in a magnetochemical series, consistently using the beta-H pyrrole paramagnetic shifts as a fundamental criterion. The structure of (TPrPc)Fe(III)Cl has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The iron is five-coordinate with bonds of nearly equal length to the four pyrrole nitrogen atoms (Fe-N in the range 1.983(5)-2.006(6) A). The iron lies 0.583(1) A out of the mean plane of the macrocycle and 0.502(5) A out of the mean N(4) plane. In the solid, pairs of molecules are positioned about the center of symmetry so there is face-to-face pi-pi contact. The mean plane separation is 3.38 A, and the lateral shift of the porphycene center along the Fe-N bond is 4.490 A. The distance from one porphycene center to the other is 5.62 A, and the iron-iron separation is 6.304(2) A.     

Ligand adducts of bis(acetylacetonato)iron(II): a 1H NMR study

We report here a thorough (1)H NMR study of Fe(acac)(2) solutions in a wide variety of noncoordinating and coordinating solvents, as well as the interaction of this complex with Et(3)N, pyridine, PMe(2)Ph, and R(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PR(2) [R = Ph (dppe), Et (depe)] in C(6)D(6). The study reveals that Fe(acac)(2) is readily transformed into Fe(acac)(3) in solution under aerobic conditions and that the commercial compound is usually contaminated by significant amounts of Fe(acac)(3). The (1)H NMR resonances of Fe(acac)(2) are rather solvent-dependent and quite different than those reported in the literature. The compound is unstable in CDCl(3) and stable in CD(2)Cl(2), C(6)D(6), CD(3)CN, acetone-d(6), DMSO-d(6), THF-d(8), and CD(3)OD. The addition of the above-mentioned ligands (L) reveals only one paramagnetically shifted band for each type of acac and L proton, the position of which varies with the L/Fe ratio, consistent with rapid ligand exchange equilibria on the NMR time scale. A fit of the NMR data at a high L/Fe ratio allows the calculation of the expected resonances for all protons in the Fe(acac)(2)L(2) molecules. The system with the bidentate depe ligand shows evidence for a slow ligand exchange at low depe/Fe ratios, proposed to involve a species with the cis-chelated mononuclear Fe(acac)(2)(depe) structure, whereas the fast exchange at a higher ratio is proposed to involved a trans-Fe(acac)(2)(κ(1)-depe)(2) complex. Complex Fe(acac)(2)(dppe) cannot be investigated in solution because of low solubility in a noncoordinating solvent and because of the poor dppe competition for binding in coordinating solvents. The compound was crystallized, and its X-ray structure reveals a 1-dimensional polymeric structure with dppe-bridged Fe centers having the trans-octahedral Fe(acac)(2)(κ(1)-dppe)(2) coordination environment.     

Structural study on 2,2'-(methylimino)bis(N,N-dioctylacetamide) complex with Re(VII)O4- and Tc(VII)O4- by 1H NMR, EXAFS, and IR spectroscopy

The structures of the complex of 2,2'-(methylimino)bis(N,N-dioctylacetamide) (MIDOA) with M(VII)O(4)(-) (M = Re and Tc), which were prepared by liquid-liquid solvent extraction, were investigated by using (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The (1)H NMR spectra of the complex of MIDOA with Re(VII)O(4)(-) prepared in the organic solution suggest the transfer of a proton from aqueous to organic solution and the formation of the H(+)MIDOA ion. The EXAFS spectra of the complexes of H(+)MIDOA with Re(VII)O(4)(-) and Tc(VII)O(4)(-) show only the M-O coordination of the aquo complexes, suggesting that the chemical state of M(VII)O(4)(-) was unchanged during the extraction process. The results from (1)H NMR and EXAFS, therefore, provide evidence of M(VII)O(4)(-)···H(+)MIDOA complex formation in the organic solution. The IR spectra of Re(VII)O(4)(-)···H(+)MIDOA and Tc(VII)O(4)(-)···H(+)MIDOA were analyzed based on the structures and the IR spectra that were calculated at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level. Comparison of the observed and calculated IR spectra demonstrates that an intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed in H(+)MIDOA, and the M(VII)O(4)(-) ion interacts with H(+)MIDOA through multiple C-H(n)···O hydrogen bonds.

Conclusions On the basis of the NMR spectral data on¹H,²⁹Si, and¹⁹⁹Hg nuclei, it was shown that Hg-X coordination interaction is possible for the compounds (Me_3–nX_nSiCH₂)₂Hg, which is manifested to a greater degree for the chloro derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2139–2140, September, 1983.     

Conformational stabilities, EPR, IR and VCD studies of Tris(ethylenediamine)nickel(II) chloride

Conformational stabilities of the transition metal complex of the [Ni(en)₃]Cl₂ was studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The deformational potential energy profiles (PEPS), pathways between the different isomeric conformational energies were calculated using B3LYP/6-31G. Relative conformational energies of the Δ(λλλ), Δ(λλδ), Δ(λδδ) and Δ(δδδ) were 0.04, 0.36, 0.17, 0.0 kcal mol^-1, respectively, which were small compared to the barrier heights for the reversible phase transitions 51.12, 50.48, 49.64 kcal mol^-1, respectively. The frequency assignment was carried out by fitting Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and using Gaussian and GaussView computer programs. The theoretical vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) absorption spectra are presented for all conformations in the range of 400–3500 cm^-1. Calculated electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) gtensor parameters of the [Ni(en)₃]Cl₂, g_x = 2.69, g_y = g_z = 2.71, are well compared to the corresponding experimental values and indicate a spherical electronic structure for the Ni atom in this compound.     

1H NMR studies of nickel(II) complexes of n-hydroxylpropyl-salicylaldimines

The¹H NMR spectra of various monomeric, dimeric and trimeric complexes of Ni(II) with n-hydroxypropyl-salicylaldimines have been measured and assigned. They are consistent with structures previously proposed for these complexes.     

Compositional and 2H NMR studies of bis(benzene)chromium composites of mesoporous vanadium-niobium mixed oxides

New mesoporous niobium oxides with 5, 10, and 15 mol% vanadium(V) doped into the walls of the structure were synthesized by the ligand-assisted templating method with an octadecylamine template. These materials were characterized by XRD, XPS, EPR, elemental analysis, and nitrogen adsorption before being treated with excess bis(benzene)chromium to give new composites with an organometallic phase in the walls. All materials were also characterized by EPR, XRD, nitrogen adsorption, XPS, SQUID magnetometry, and elemental analysis. The materials with higher percentages of vanadium absorbed more bis(benzene)chromium, because this process depends largely on the electron transfer between the organometallic and the walls of the mesostructure and vanadium(V) is a stronger oxidant than niobium(V). Conductivity studies on these materials revealed that the ratio of Cr(0) to Cr(l) in the pores was more important than the absolute Cr loading level in governing electron transport properties but that increasing the V content led to more insulating behavior regardless of the Cr concentration. Solid-state 2H NMR studies on perdeuteriobenzene analogues of these composites showed the presence of the neutral and cationic Cr species in different ratios depending on the loading. Tumbling of these species was also slow on the NMR time scale, indicating that the charge-carrying Cr species are not rapidly moving through the pore channels of the mesostructure. This suggests that the walls of the structure may play a key role in charge transfer in these composites, contrary to what was previously believed.     

NMR studies of chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) and polybutadiene

Molecular structures of chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) and polybutadiene have been studied by high resolution NMR. The spectra of the chlorinated polymers give broad signals. New peaks appear in the lower fields of the ? CH₂? and ? CHCl? groups with increasing chlorine content. The chlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) takes place predominantly on ? CH₂? rather than on ? CHCl? , e.g., a 70% chlorinated polymer has about 10 mole-% of ? CCl₂? groups. Polybutadiene reacts first with chlorine by addition to give a head-to-head poly(vinyl chloride), and then the substitution of the hydrogen atom takes place. Chlorinated polybutadiene with 70% Cl has about 18 mole-% of ? CCl₂? . The multiplets characteristic of spin-spin couplings in the spectrum of the original poly(vinyl chloride) are still observed in that of the highly chlorinated product. This fact shows that a considerable number of poly(vinyl chloride) sequences of certain lengths persist in the highly chlorinated polymer.     

17O NMR studies of electronic and steric interactions of substituted quinoxaline-2(1H),3(4H)-diones

¹⁷O nmr studies, at natural abundance, of substituted quinoxaline-2(1H),3(4H)-diones demonstrate that the ¹⁷O chemical shift data can provide new insights into steric and electronic interactions due to long range substituent effects on the aromatic ring. The role of considerable “keto” character and torsion angle deformation of the diamide group in solution is emphasized.
