A 500 MHz 1H-n.m.r. study on two self-complementary alternating pyrimidine-purine oligodeoxyribonucleotides, 5′-d(C-G-T-A-C-G) and 5′-d(A-C-G-C-G-C-G-T), is presented. By using the proton-proton nuclear Overhauser effect virtually complete assignments are obtained and a large number of interproton distances [113 in the case of 5′-d(C-G-T-A-C-G) and 79 in the case of 5′-d(A-C-G-C-G-C-G-T)], both intra- and inter-nucleotide, are determined. The interproton-distance data are consistent with an overall right-handed B-DNA-type structure for both oligonucleotides, in agreement with their B-type c.d. spectra. However, whereas 5′-d(C-G-T-A-C-G) adopts a conventional B-type structure with a mononucleotide repeating unit, the interproton-distance data provide evidence that 5′-d(A-C-G-C-G-C-G-T) has a dinucleotide repeating unit consisting of alternation in glycosidic bond and sugar pucker conformations.

By considering the technique involving the measurement of aromatic solvent-induced shifts, and the models which have been proposed from the results of such measurements, it is suggested that the use of the solvent-induced solute proton intermolecular relaxation rate [(1/T1)solvinter] is a better method to study local solvation of solute molecules. Proton relaxation rates obtained for simple solutes in the solvent benzene are analysed in terms of an interaction parameter I, which treats (1/T1)solvinter] in terms of a proton-proton pair distribution function. The resultant dependence between I and a calculated measure of the local polarity of the observed solute is discussed in terms of previously proposed models of solute-solvent interactions.

The synthesis and stereochemistry of seven β-lactam derivatives of 1,5-benzothiazepines are presented. The configurational and conformational analysis is based on nuclear Overhauser effect experiments, together with analysis of the vicinal proton–proton coupling constants. In the preferred conformation, the seven-membered ring is in a half-chair. Only for one compound, 2-aza-4-bromo-4-methyl-5,7-diphenyl-8-thiatricyclo[7.4.0.02,5]trideca-Δ1,9,10,12-trien-3-one, were two diastereomers isolated (compounds 6a and 6b). Six of the compounds have the 4S*, 5R*, 7R* configuration while compound 6b has the 4R*, 5R*,7R* configuration.

The conformational analysis of LTD4 in D2O was carried out based on the analysis of vicinal proton–proton coupling constants, nonselective proton longitudinal relaxation times, and nuclear Overhauser effect data. The H6—C6 to C12 region of the molecule is transoid, the predominant rotamer about C5—C6 is gauche, and two rotamers can be used to describe the rotation about C12—C13. There are three rotamers that can be used to describe the rotation about the C21—C22 bond of cysteine. Finally, chelation between an Yb3+, shift reagents and LTD4 was not observed.
