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%.

With good contrast in T1 and T2 weighted imaging as well as low toxicity in 3- (4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, this work proposes the cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane colloids as a novel non-ionic contrast agent for gastrointestinal magnetic resonance imaging. The experiments of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and relaxation show that within the interface of the colloids, there are nuclear Overhauser effect and transient nuclear Overhauser effect (cross-relaxation). Regarding the longitudinal relaxation experiments of CH2CH2O segments of Tween 80, a two spins system is found and modeled well by the equation [Formula: see text] which is deduced based on the transient nuclear Overhauser effect proposed by Solomon. The arbitrary constant X is additionally added with the initial conditions ( Iz −  I0) t=0 = −2 XS0 and ( Sz −  S0) t=0 = −2 S0. For the two spins system, D1 and T1 are corresponding to longitudinal relaxation times of the bound water and the CH2CH2O respectively. Concerning the transverse relaxation experiments of the CH2CH2O, they agree with the equation with three exponential decays, defined by three relaxation times, likely corresponding to three mechanisms. These mechanisms possibly are intramolecular and intermolecular dipole–dipole (DD) interactions and scalar coupling. Within the interface, hydrogen bonding causes the positive nuclear Overhauser effect of the CH2CH2O’s nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, the transient nuclear Overhauser effect of the CH2CH2O’s longitudinal relaxation experiments and the intermolecular dipole–dipole interactions of the CH2CH2O’s transverse relaxation experiments.

A range of compounds with methyl groups disposed ortho and peri on heteroaromatic frameworks have been prepared, and T1 values and methyl-methyl Overhauser effects measured for them. Most of the n.O.e . Values were ≤6%, but two examples of methyls flanked by two others exhibited values of 9% (6-hydroxy-4,4,5,7-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran-2-one) and 15% (1,4,5,8,9-pentamethylcarbazole).

The structure of traversianal, a tricyclic diterpenoid fungal metabolite of Cercospora traversiana, has been elucidated through detailed 1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies, including homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra of the natural product and examination of 13C-labelled material obtained by [1,2-13C2]acetate incorporation experiments. Its stereochemistry was established from a series of nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra. The tricyclic carbon skeleton of traversianal is that of the fusicoccin/cotylenin and ophiobolane terpenes although the oxygenation pattern closely resembles the latter. Incorporation experiments with [2,2,2-2H3, 1-13C1]acetate revealed that traversianal arises by a sequence that differs substantially from that established for the fusicoccanes but rather resembles that previously shown for the ophiobolanes, in the retention of hydride at C-2, -10, and -14. However, the opposite configuration of the methyl group at C-3 suggests that the route to traversianal involves a terminal trans-geranylgeranyl unit instead of the cis unit implicated in ophiobolin generation.
