Syntheses based on norfluorocurarine. 5. NMR spectra of monomeric norfluorocurarine derivatives

NMR spectra of norfluorocurarine and seven of its derivatives were studied. The NMR spectral parameters were related to stereochemical features using molecular modeling by the semi-empirical AM1 approximation. The resulting steric characteristics of the molecules in solution agreed well with x-ray structure data. The only difference from the x-ray structure data was the ability of several substituents to rotate.
