Relaxation times (T1) and methyl-methyl nuclear Overhauser effects were measured for 1H, 13C and 2H nuclei in 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine and its N-CHD2 analogue which was synthesized by LiAlD4 reduction of the N-CHO compound. The relaxation pathways for hydrogens of the N-CH3 group were estimated to be as follows: spin-rotation 0.046 s-1, dipole-dipole within N-methyl 0.069 s-1, and dipole-dipole with the hydrogens of the C- methyls 0.027 s-1. The 1H{1H) Overhauser effect at the N-CH3 was 7.6%.

Proton transient nuclear Overhauser enhancement (TnOe) and spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) have been used to evaluate the conformations of several monosaccharides and disaccharides containing (13C) and (2H) substitution. Absolute 1H–1H internuclear distances were determined by TnOe and DESERT (deuterium substitution effects on relaxation times) experiments on conformationally rigid methyl β-D-galactopyranoside and α- and β-D-xyloses, respectively. The DESERT method was extended to examine O-glycoside conformation in two blood-group disaccharides that were prepared enzymically with (13C) and (or) (2H) substitution. Preferred disaccharide conformations deduced from these distance measurements are compared to those determined from 13C–13C and 13C–1H spin coupling constants, theoretical calculations, and crystallographic studies. Keywords: TnOe, DESERT, carbohydrate conformation.

The conformation of bilirubin and its dimethyl ester in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) was investigated by n.m.r. spectroscopy. The chemical shifts of the pyrrole NH and Lactam protons of bilirubin and its dimethyl ester in DMSO indicate a strong interaction with the solvent. Inter-proton distances were calculated from nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE), selective and non-selective relaxation times (T1) and rotational correlation times taken from 13C relaxation times. The interproton distances indicate that the conformation of the skeleton of bilirubin and its dimethyl ester in DMSO is similar to that of bilirubin and mesobilirubin in the crystalline state and in chloroform solutions, except for a possible slight twist of the pyrrolenone rings about the methine bonds, which may be a consequence of solvation of the NH groups by DMSO. Unlike in chloroform solutions, no direct hydrogen-bonding occurs between the carboxylic acid and the lactam groups of bilirubin in DMSO, as shown by the absence of an NOE between these groups. The fast exchange of the pyrrole NH protons with 2H shows that no hydrogen-bonding occurs between these protons and the propionic residues, in line with their solvation by DMSO. From the above results, and from the slowness of the internal motion of the propionic residues of bilirubin and its dimethyl ester, it is concluded that these residues are tied to the skeleton via bound solvent molecules.
