NMR study of 1-azatricyclo[3.3.1.13-7]decane derivatives

1-Azatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3-7]decan-4-one (4-oxo-1-azaadamantane) and 1-azatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3-7]decane-4-α(β)-ol (4-α-(β)-hydroxy-1-azaadamantane) have been studied by ¹H and ¹³C nmr methods. From this study several stereo and stereoelectronic effects have been deduced. The complete proton and carbon chemical shift assignments for the title compounds have been made, with the aid of two-dimensional nmr techniques.     

Functional derivatives of thiophene. I. Synthesis and 1H-NMR spectra in the 2-aminothiophene series

The preparation of 2-amino-5-nitrothiophene, 2-formamido-5-nitrothiophene, 2-acetamido-5-nitrothiophene and 2-t-butyloxycarbonylamino-5-nitrothiophene are described. Abnormal values of the coupling constants J_3.4 had been observed in the ¹H-nmr spectra of compounds obtained.     

Conformational study of N-substituted 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ones

N-Substituted 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ones have been studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. In CDCl₃ solutions, these ketones display the same preferred conformation. The pyrrolidine and piperidone rings adopt a flattened N-8 envelope and distorted chair conformation, puckered at N-8 and flattened at C-3, respectively, with the N-substituent in axial position with respect to the piperidone ring.     

Spectroscopic study of 3-methyl-2,4-diphenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-α(β)-ols

3-Methyl-2,4-diphenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-α(β)-ols have been synthesized and studied by ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy. In deuteriochloroform and perdeuteriobenzene solutions, these compounds adopt a flattened chair-chair conformation in which the cyclohexane ring is more flattened. From the ¹H and ¹³C nmr data, several stereoelectronic effects have been deduced. The complete and unambiguous assignment of all protons of the 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane system, not described up to date, has been carried out.     

Experimental and Computational Study of the Thermal Decomposition of 3‐Methyl‐3‐buten‐1‐ol in m‐Xylene Solution

An experimental study of the thermal decomposition of a β‐hydroxy alkene, 3‐methyl‐3‐buten‐1‐ol, in m‐xylene solution, has been carried out at five different temperatures in the range of 513.15–563.15 K. The temperature dependence of the rate constants for the decomposition of this compound in the corresponding Arrhenius equation is given by ln k (s^?1) = (25.65 ± 1.52) ? (17,944 ± 814) (kJ·mol^?1)·T^?1. A computational study has been carried out at the M05–2X/6–31+G(d,p) level of theory to calculate the rate constants and the activation parameters by the classical transition state theory. There is a good agreement between the experimental and calculated rate constants and activation Gibbs energies. The bonding characteristics of reactant, transition state, and products have been investigated by the natural bond orbital analysis, which provides the natural atomic charges and the Wiberg bond indices. Based on the results obtained, the mechanism proposed is a one‐step process proceeding through a six‐membered cyclic transition state, being a concerted and slightly asynchronous process. The results have been compared with those obtained previously by us (Struct Chem 2013, 24, 1811–1816) for the thermal decomposition of 3‐buten‐1‐ol, in m‐xylene solution. We can conclude that in the compound studied in this work, 3‐methyl‐3‐buten‐1‐ol, the effect of substitution at position 3 by a weakly activating CH₃ group is the stabilization of the transition state formed in the reaction and therefore a small increase in the rate of thermal decomposition.     

Structural and Kinetic Aspects of Blood Plasma Protein Adsorption on the Surface of Hydrophobic Polymers

Abstract

Due to the wide use of polymers in medicine, researchers are required to solve a very important problem–to understand the interaction between materials of nonphysiological origin and the surrounding biological liquids, and tissues, particularly blood.     

Synthesis,structural, and biochemical study of a series of methyl 2,6-diaryl-1-methyl-4-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylates and a series of methyl 2,4-diaryl-3,7-dimethyl-9-oxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-1,5-dicarboxylates

A series of methyl-2,6-diaryl-1-methyl-4-oxopiperidine-3,5-dicarboxylates Ia-c and 2,4-diaryl-3,7-dimethyl-1,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-9-bispidinones IIa-c have been synthesized and studied by ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy and the crystal structure of methyl 2,4-diphenyl-3,7-dimethyl-9-oxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3,3.1]nonane-1,5-dicarboxylate (IIa) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The enolic form of compound Ia (I'a) was also studied.
