13C chemical shifts and 13C–31P couplings are reported for 11 cyclic phosphoramidates of ring sizes from four to nine. Vicinal couplings are compared with those of carbocyclic analogs and provide insight regarding the degree of nitrogen lone pair derealization into the N—P bond. For six-membered and larger rings, there appears to be nearly complete lone pair delocalization, i.e., a trigonal planar nitrogen atom. In azetidine derivatives the nitrogen lone pair remains localized, giving rise to a highly puckered ring conformation. Pyrrolidine derivatives are viewed as having a nitrogen with a partially delocalized electron pair.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra at 220 MHz of alanine transfer RNA do not permit assignments of individual peaks due to each of the common bases; only a peak attributable to protons at position eight in adenine can be assigned with certainty. Measurements of the relative areas of proton magnetic resonance peaks due to the base and ribose-1′ protons indicate that the ribose moieties of tRNA are not involved in bonds stronger than those experienced by the bases. Proton magnetic resonance peaks attributable to the methyl and dihydro protons of the rare bases can be distinguished in the 220 MHz spectra; the variation of their line widths and chemical shifts with increasing temperature indicates that the rare bases are located in regions of the alanine transfer RNA molecule which are more highly organized than indicated by an open cloverleaf model.

The analysis of the n.m.r, spectra of 2,2?-, 3,3?-, and 4,4?-bipyridyl and three dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyls is reported and the factors determining the relative chemical shifts of the ring protons and methyl groups in several solvents are discussed. The diamagnetic anisotropy of the neighbouring ring and electrostatic field effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons are shown to be of roughly equal importance for derivatives of 2,2?-bipyridyl except in hydrogen bonding solvents. Attenuation of the electrostatic field effect in polar, and particularly in hydrogen bonding solvents, is established for 4- picoline, and for the bipyridyls, and this effect is responsible for striking changes in the spectrum of 2,2?-bipyridyl in hydrogen bonding solvents. An approximate interplanar angle of 58� is derived for 3,3?- dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyl, and 2,2?-bipyridyl and its 4,4?- and 5,5?- dimethyl derivatives appear to be trans coplanar in all solvents. 3,3?- Bipyridyl and 4,4?-bipyridyl are probably highly twisted in all solvents, or alternatively, behave as essentially free rotors. The predicted conformations are in good agreement with the electronic spectral data.

N.m.r. data for 19 5-substituted and 13 polysubstituted benzo[b]thiophens are tabulated. The influence of the substituents at C5 on the chemical shifts of H4 and H6 is discussed. Long-range interproton spin-spin coupling between H3 and H7, and between H2 and H6, is general in benzo[b]thiophens. The vicinal coupling J6,7 in 5-substituted benzo[b]thiophens varies directly and linearly with the electronegativity of the substituents at C5.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of 1.6-methano- and 1.6-oxido-cyclodecapentaene are described and analyzed in terms of chemical shifts and coupling constants. The results are discussed in connection with the structure and possible aromatic character of these compounds. Measurements of the concentration dependence of the chloroform resonance signal in solutions of both compounds give additional support for the presence of a delocalized 10 π-electron system.

AbstractProton chemical shifts in styryldiazines and diazaphenanthrenes linearly correlate with SCF-π-electron densities of the attached carbon atom and with the electron densities of the hydrogen atom (calculated by the CNDO/2 method). The observed deviations from linearity are discussed in terms of ring current effect, steric effects and the paramagnetic effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons. An appreciable weakening of ring current is found for diazaphenanthrenes with two adjacent N-atoms. Under the same condition the paramagnetic effect on ortho-hydrogens is increased.
