Vicinal carbon–proton coupling constants have been determined for a series of tert-butyl derivatives and compared to the vicinal proton–proton coupling constants in the analogous series of isopropyl derivatives. In both series coupling constants were found to decrease with electronegativity of substituent, with 3JC,H decreasing more rapidly than 3JH,H. The relationship between the two types of coupling was found to be JC,H = 1.2JH,H − 3.5. The regular change in the ratio of JC,H to JH,H indicates that substituent effects can be useful in predicting carbon–proton coupling constants from proton–proton models.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.

The proton–proton and phosphorus–proton nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) of guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) was measured in aqueous solution at different pH values and in the presence of excess LaIII at acid pH. These data and nOe data from the literature for other mononucleotides were used together with vicinal proton–proton coupling constants to investigate the conformations of mononucleotides in aqueous solution, especially their rotational state about the glycosidic bond. Comparison of observed and calculated enhancements using various conformational models for the glycosidic bond gave predominantly anti conformations for 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP and a mixture of syn and anti conformations for 2′-AMP, 2′-GMP, 3′-AMP, and 3′-GMP. Protonation of 5′-GMP at N-7 of the guanine base alters the amplitude of its torsion angle within the anti range. The agreement between the glycosidic nucleotide conformations defined by nOe and by the lanthanide probe method is good but not perfect. As complexation of 5′-GMP with LaIII through the phosphate group has only a small effect on the conformation of its exocyclic group, a comparison of the two methods is justified.
