The conformation of contulakin-G, a bioactive 16 amino acid O-linked glycopeptide (ZSEEGGSNAT*KKPYIL) with the disaccharide β-D-Gal(1[Formula: see text]3)α-D-GalNAc attached to the threonine residue in position 10, has been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The 1H NMR data for the non-glycosylated peptide and for two glycopeptide analogues, one with the monosaccharide α-D-GalNAc at Thr10 and one with the disaccharide β-D-Gal(1–>3)α-D-GalNAc at Ser7, all of lower bioactivity than contulakin-G, have also been collected. The chemical shifts, NOEs, temperature coefficients of amide protons, and 3JNH,αH-values suggest that all four compounds exist mainly in random coil conformations. Some transient populations of folded conformations are also present in the glycopeptides and turns, probably induced by the sugars, are present in the peptide chain around the site of glycosylation. In the two peptides O-glycosylated at Thr10, the rotation of α-D-GalNAc around the linkage between the sugar and the peptide is restricted. There is evidence for a hydrogen bond between the amide proton of α-D-GalNAc and the peptide chain that could contribute to this torsional rigidity. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbohydrate and the peptide chain does not exist in the peptide O-glycosylated at the Ser7 residue. Key words: conformation, contulakin-G, NMR, O-linked glycopeptide.

The synthesis of the O-glycosylated serine-10 analogue of contulakin-G yielded both the [L-] and the [D-Ser10] analogues. The 1H NMR study indicated that the sugars of the two Ser10-glycosylated peptides lacked the hydrogen bond to the peptide backbone that exists in contulakin-G. NOEs showed that the glycan part of the [D-Ser10] analogue had a different orientation to the peptide backbone than that of the [L-Ser10] analogue. The peptide backbones in the two compounds were found to exist mainly in random coil conformations, with transient turns at the site of glycosylation. A transient turn was also found at the C-terminus of the [D-Ser10] glycopeptide. The NMR data indicated that the average conformation of the [D-Ser10] analogue resembles the conformation of contulakin-G more than the [L-Ser] does. Since biological data showed that the [D-Ser10] glycopeptide was as active as contulakin-G, while the [L-Ser10] glycopeptide was only slightly active at more than 100 times the dose, it is possible that it is the orientation of the glycan relative to the peptide chain that is actually recognized by the proteolytic enzyme.Key words: conformation, contulakin-G analogues, NMR, O-linked glycopeptide.

The crystal structure of the diethyl 2-benzimidazol-1-ylsuccinate–picric acid (1/1) molecular complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Diethyl 2-benzimidazol-l-ylsuccinate molecules form channels along the a axis, in which the picric acid molecules are located. The benzimidazole moiety and the phenol group are held together by hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen of the phenol and the N3 atom of benzimidazole. Additionally, this hydrogen forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with one O atom of the ortho-nitro group, thus producing a bifurcated hydrogen bond. 1H NMR spectra in DMSO-d 6 solution and CP/MAS solid 13 C NMR studies of this 2-benzimidazol-1-ylsuccinate–picric acid (1/1) molecular complex, as well as those of dimethyl, diethyl, di-n-butyl and 1-n-butyl-4-ethyl 2-imidazol-1-ylsuccinates, diethyl 2-pyrazol-1-ylsuccinate, ethyl imidazol-1-ylacetate, ethyl pyrazol-1-ylacetate and ethyl pyrazol-l-ylsuccinate, suggest that the picric acid linkage depends on the nature of the azole. Actual proton transfer is deduced for the imidazole derivatives, but only weak hydrogen bonding could be inferred for pyrazole derivatives.

N-(2,6-Dinitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)aniline derivatives were prepared by anilino-dechlorination of 4-chloro-3, 5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride. IR, UV and 1H NMR studies suggested an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amino hydrogen and one o-nitro group. An addition-elimination mechanism was suggested based on the second-order kinetics and the dependence of rates on the nature and the position of the substituent in the aniline ring, as well as the high negative values of ρ(-3.14, −3.16, −3.01). Such values indicate a positive charge on the aniline nitrogen in the transition state and that the rate is affected by the polar effect of the substituent. The β value (0.85 at 30°C) indicates an appreciable degree of bond formation in the transition state.

Information concerning the solubilization of hydrocarbons in ionic surfactant micelles was obtained from 2H NMR relaxation, 1H NMR chemical shifts, and 1H NMR paramagnetic relaxation measurements. The rotational motion of deuterated hydrocarbons, which is related to the micellar microviscosity at the location of the hydrocarbons, was probed by 2H NMR relaxation. The relaxation data are interpreted using both the two-step and the single-step models, and the results are discussed in terms of the micellar microviscosity and the location of the hydrocarbons in micelles. The location of the hydrocarbons in micelles was further investigated by determining the aromatic ring current-induced 1H chemical shifts along the surfactant alkyl chain and by comparing the 1H spin-lattice relaxation enhancement of the hydrocarbons and the surfactant alkyl chain, induced by Mn2+ on the micellar surface. The hydrocarbons used include benzene, naphthalene, acenaphthalene, triphenylene, cyclohexane, cyclododecane, and tert-butylcyclohexane and the surfactants studied are hexadecyl-, tetradecyl-, and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide; hexadecyl-, tetradecyl-, and dodecylpyridinium halide; and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The results indicate that the micellar microviscosity at the location of saturated hydrocarbons is approximately 5 cP for both the cationic and anionic micelles, whereas the micellar microviscosity at the location of unsaturated hydrocarbons is much higher. The unsaturated hydrocarbons are found to reside primarily near the surfactant headgroup in the cationic micelles, but are distributed evenly throughout the anionic SDS micelles. The saturated hydrocarbons appear to be located in the interior of the micelles. Key words: NMR, relaxation, solubilization, surfactant, micelle.

In benzene solution the position of the 1H NMR signals of sulfanes, H2Sn, strongly depends on the sulfur chain length and on the sulfane concentration. Under proper conditions all sulfanes in a mixture are characterized by well-resolved NMR signals showing a downfield shift with increasing length of the sulfur chain. The shift differences between the higher homologues ( n > 8 ) remain nearly constant, thus allowing the assignment of the signals up to H2S35 and the determination of the complete sulfane distribution in crude oils. In sulfane mixtures without solvent as well as in CS2 and CCl4 solutions, however, H2S8 shows the largest downfield shift. The signals of the higher sulfanes overlap in a narrow range at slightly higher field and cannot be characterized except for the CCl4 solution where an assignment up to H2S11 is possible. The chemical shifts are interpreted in terms of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bondings. The upfield shift caused by benzene is attributed to the formation of H2Sn · benzene complexes.

The variable temperature 60 MHz 1H nmr spectra of some heterocyclic azomethines exclude the presence of rotational isomerism. Chemical shift values and stereospecific long-range couplings are used to establish that s-trans is the existing conformation. In the case of the pyrrole derivatives a chelated s-trans rotamer is indicated, depending on the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond.

A temperature dependence of the chemical shift of the hydroxyl proton in the strong intramolecular hydrogen bond in 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde is observed in carbon tetrachloride and benzene-d6 solutions. Its magnitude of 0.25 to 0.30 × 10−2 p.p.m. per ° C over a range of 100 °C is in agreement with the model described by Muller and Reiter (1).
