The 14N nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) signals of alkylamines and ammonium ions are shifted to lower magnetic fields with the increasing number of alkyl groups at the carbon atom directly bonded to the nitrogen atom, and at the nitrogen atom itself. The resonance of an ammonium ion always occurs at a field lower than that for the corresponding amine. It seems that high-lying excited states, not only those corresponding to lowest-wavelength transitions, are important for an explanation of the observed resonance shifts. A downfield shift of the 14N resonance and a substantial increase in signal width, as compared with the spectra of neat amines, are observed for aqueous solutions of amines. There is a very characteristic chemical shift for the R—CH2—NH2 molecules (R = alkyl, phenyl, vinyl) in the 14N n.m.r. spectra.

The title compounds, substituted with chlorine in the 4′-position and with phthalimido, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonylamino, or phenoxycarbonylamino in the 3′-position of the azetidinone ring, have been converted to bis-allylic formates via bromination of both methyl groups with excess N-bromosuccinimide, and displacement of both bromines by formate ions in methylene chloride solvent. The diformates react smoothly with a deficit of a boron halide to form E/Z mixtures of halogeno-formates, in which the E-isomer predominates. Depending on the 3′-azetidinyl substituent, these halogeno-formates undergo a second displacement with acetate either with retention of olefinic geometry or inversion of olefinic geometry. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed, along with further transformations leading to hydroxylactones, halogenolactones, halogenohydrins, and other compounds. Examination of the proton magnetic resonance spectra of twenty-one compounds reveals that methylene protons cis to the β-lactam nitrogen atom of a methyl 2-azetidinyl-2-butenoate are found at higher field than methylene protons cis to the methoxycarbonyl group. This observation appears to provide a more reliable criterion for the assignment of configuration to geometrical isomers than one based on the magnitude of the chemical shift nonequivalence of the E and Z methylene protons.
