Proton Chemical Shifts

A precise analysis of the 1H nmr spectrum of toluene as a dilute solution in carbon disulfide yields a revised set of spectral parameters. The chemical shift of the para proton lies 12.6 ppb to low frequency of that of the ortho protons at 300 K. The ring proton chemical shifts are discussed and compared with 1H and 3H shifts observed in carbon tetrachloride. The long-range couplings between methyl and ring protons can be said to be quantitatively understood in terms of σ and σ–π electron transmitted mechanisms. The changes observed in these three couplings in phenylacetaldehyde can be quantitatively reproduced in terms of these mechanisms and also illustrate how these changes are direct measures of the conformational preferences in this molecule.

The circumambulatory rearrangements of some 8,8-dimethylhomotropylium cations and their corresponding iron tricarbonyl complexes have been examined. 8,8-Dimethylhomotropylium cation, 4, has been prepared by protonation of 8,8-dimethyl-bicyclo[5.1.0]octa-3,5-dien-2-ol in FSO3H/SO2ClF. Evidence for homoaromatic delocalization in 4 was found in its characteristic 1H nmr spectrum, particularly when this was compared to that of the non-cyclically delocalized 8,8-dimethyl-bicyclo[5.1.0]octadienyliron tricarbonyl complex 7. Cation 4 was found to be stable at low temperatures but to isomerize to isopropyltropylium ion, 8, at −50 °C, [Formula: see text] The specifically deuterated cation 4D was prepared and a slow circumambulation of C8 around the basal 7-membered ring of this cation was found to occur at −90 °C. The free energy of activation for this circumambulation is 14.5 kcal/mol. Homotropylium cation 4 was also prepared by protonation of 8,8-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]octa-3,6-dien-2-ol, 14, at −120 °C. No evidence for the presence of the corresponding bicyclo[3.2.1]octadienyl ion 12 was obtained. The 2,8,8-trimethylhomotropylium cation, 17, was prepared and shown to undergo a circumambulatory rearrangement to give the 4,8,8-trimethyl substituted cation 20 as the major product. In this trimethyl series it also proved possible to generate the 2,8,8-trimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]octadienyl cation, 18, and observe its 1H nmr spectrum at very low temperatures (−116 °C). The proton chemical shifts of 18 suggest that the charge is predominantly located on the 3-carbon bridge. Cation 18 isomerized to 17, 20, and other products at temperatures above −100 °C. The 2,8,8-trimethylbicyclo[5.1.0]octadienyliron tricarbonyl complex 22 was also shown to undergo a circumambulatory rearrangement in which both C8 and the Fe(CO)3 grouping migrate.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.

Unambiguous Assignment

A detailed analysis of the high field (400 MHz) 1H nmr spectra of the basic antitumor antibiotics saframycin A and C in CDCl3, C6D6, and in aqueous DMSO solutions has been carried out. Selective double irradiation experiments permitted the unambiguous assignment of all the proton chemical shifts and coupling constants. Consideration of the magnitudes of the latter together with specific nOe experiments permits assignment of molecular geometry and average conformations in solution. Selective shifts occurring in DMSO–D2O solutions upon addition of CF3COOD identified the 12-N atom as the site of protonation which result bears directly on the acid promoted binding of these antibiotics to DNA templates as part of their cytotoxic action.

29Si, 13C and 31P NMR spectra of silicon-substituted ω-diphenylphosphinoalkyl silanes, (CH3)3-n(OC2H5)nSi(CH2)mP(C6H5)2

29Si, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra of a series of compounds of the structure (CH3)3-n(C2H5O)n.Si(CH2)mP(C6H5)2 (m = 1-6, n = )-3) are reported and assigned. Using monodeutero derivative of the compound with m = 3 and n = 0 an earlier assignment of 13C NMR spectrum is confirmed, but the assignment in the compounds with m = 4 is reversed. Introduction of ethoxy groups leads to violation of additivity rule for the 13C chemical shifts in the derivatives with m = 1. In all derivatives presence of one ethoxy group in the molecule has a profound effect on 31P chemical shift which is not changed by any further increase in the number of ethoxy groups in the molecule. The changes in 29Si chemical shifts follow the pattern known from other series of compounds. The observed trends in NMR parameters with changing n and m values can be explained by an interaction between phosphorus and oxygen atoms. Possible connections between the spectral parameters and catalysis employing the studied compounds are discussed.

1-Naphthylketene (2), generated by thermal Wolff-rearrangement, is trapped in situ by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiridinyloxy radical (TEMPO, TO·) to form the adduct 1-naphthCH(OT)CO2T (4), whose structure is confirmed by an X-ray determination. The 1H NMR spectrum of 4 displays three CH3 groups with very high field chemical shifts (δ 0.10-0.47), and this is attributed to the location of these groups in the shielding region above the π system of the naphthyl ring. At -40°C, doubling of most of the 1H NMR signals occurs, and this is attributed to a freezing out of two conformations differing by rotation around the naphthyl—CH bond.Key words: ketene, TEMPO, restricted rotation, 1H NMR, conformational analysis, free radicals.

The1H nmr spectrum of [10]-paracyclophane has been recorded at 220 MHz and the methylene protons assigned on the basis of homonuclear decoupled spectra. Local anisotropic contributions to chemical shifts for protons sited above or near the aromatic ring of [10]-paracyclophane have been calculated using a classical model previously proposed by Grant. The residual incremental shift was shown to follow the Waugh–Fessenden–Johnson–Bovey classical ring current model, but the loop separation originally invoked was shown to be unnecessary. These corrected ring current contributions also correlate very well with the quantum-mechanical approach of Haigh and Mallion.

A precise analysis of the 1H nmr spectrum of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene in benzene solution yields an accurate value for the proximate spin–spin coupling constant, [Formula: see text], between the ortho ring proton and the methyl protons. The latter also couple to other ring protons and these couplings are assessed. Comparison with some values in other anisole derivatives and with a variety of INDO MO FPT calculations of [Formula: see text] strongly implies the predominance of a planar conformation in solution. This implication disagrees with the interpretation of some other experimental and theoretical data. The mechanism of this proximate coupling is examined by the procedure of Barfield. It seems that the magnitude of the coupling is dominated by interactions involving the orbitals on the carbon atom of the methyl group.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters in dilute carbon tetrachloride solution are reported for 2-tert-butylphenol, as obtained by decoupling of the sidechain protons. Long-range couplings between hydroxyl and ring protons are also reported for five derivatives of 2-tert-butylphenol. In the cis conformer of 2-tert-butylphenol an anomalous [Formula: see text] occurs, most likely as a consequence of a significant distortion of the COH geometry. Such an anomaly, which leads to an incorrect estimate of the cis–trans equilibrium constant, does not occur in other alkyl phenols, for example, in 2-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol. The coupling constant data provide no evidence for out-of-plane conformational preferences of the hydroxyl group in these compounds.
