Chemistry of the phenoxathiins and isosterically related heterocycles. IX.N-oxidation on the 13C-nmr chemical shifts and coupling constants of the 1-azaphenoxathiin system

The synthesis of 1-azaphenoxathiin N-oxide is described. Total assignment of the ¹³C-nmr spectrum and the effects of the N-oxide moiety on the chemical shifts and ¹H-¹³C spin couplings constants are described and compared to the parent 1-azaphenoxathiin system. The potential for the use of N-oxidation induced changes in ¹³C-nmr chemical shifts and ¹H-¹³C coupling constants as an assignment criterion is also discussed.
