The proton and carbon-13 resonance signals of carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) were unambiguously assigned using a variety of nmr techniques including proton–carbon chemical shift correlations, titrations of nmr chemical shifts, coupling constants, and isotope shifts. From the 13C nmr titration, carnosine's three pKa values were estimated to be 2.7, 7.1, and 10.6, and it was found that the imidazole ring existed predominantly as the 3-H tautomer in basic solution. Conformational information about the Cα—Cβ bond and about the N—Cα bond was deduced from observed 3J(C,H) and 3J(H,H) values. The 13C nmr spectrum of carnosine in solution is also compared with that obtained for a solid sample.

Experiments are described whose results indicate that semiquinones produced by intramolecular photoreduction of FMN in basic solution are responsible for specific line broadening observed in the 13C nmr spectrum. Tests with oxidizing agents as well as singlet and triplet quenchers are shown to support this theory rather than the proposition that the paramagnetic species effective in relaxation enhancement is a flavin triplet state. A mechanism for the production of semiquinones and their interaction with the FMN population is discussed.

The diastereoisomeric pairs of cyclodipeptides cis- and trans-cyclo(Ala-Ala), cyclo(Ala-Phe), cyclo(Val-Val) and cyclo(Leu-Leu) containing 85% 13C enriched amino-acid residues were synthesized and their 13C-13C coupling constants were measured. The combination of 13C-13C and 1H-1H coupling constants enabled to estimate unequivocally the side chain conformation of the valine and leucine residues.

The 500 MHz 1H and 125 MHz 13C spectra of ergosteryl and 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate were recorded in C6D6 and CDCl3 and assigned using two-dimensional NMR techniques. It is shown that incorporation of an Fe(CO)3 or a Rh(acac) moiety onto the ring B diene system affects the chemical shifts of neighbouring protons and carbons. These changes are discussed in terms of the anisotropic properties of the organometallic fragments.

Alkylated pyrimidine bases are of interest from the viewpoint of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance data are presented for a series of ribosides and arabinosides alkylated at the O2,O4, N3, and C5 positions of the pyrimidine base. The data provide information about the stereochemical effects of base methylation. The J(5—6) proton coupling constants show that O-alkylation leads to a decrease in the π-bond order of the C5—C6 bond. The 13C chemical shifts are related to the tautomeric changes effected by O-alkylation.

A full pH range 1H and 13C nmr study was performed of the complexation of UO22+ with malic acid, for variable concentrations and molar ratios. Spectral evidence for the existence of at least five complexes was found, and their stoichiometry and dependence on pH were investigated. Information on the conformation of the bound ligand molecules was also obtained.

The 13C NMR spectra of the bromide of the protonated iminophosphorane -substituted sponge 7 were recorded at different fields. Together with the use of 13C satellites of the 31P NMR spectrum, these experiments allow determination of a reasonable set of chemical shifts and coupling constants. The most interesting are a 4h JPP = 1.6 Hz, determined directly from the 31P NMR spectrum, which probably involves the hydrogen bond, and a 2Δ31P(13C) isotope shift of 9 ppb.

AbstractPoly(N-acetyl)iminoethylene. poly(N-propionyl)iminoethylene and poly(N-acetyl)-2,2-dimethyliminoethylene were prepared by cationic polymerization in solution of 2-methyl- 2-oxazoline, 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline, and 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline respectively. The 13C NMR spectra of the polymers obtained showed different sets of shifts for the carbon atoms of the backbone as well as for the N-acylimino side chain due to the restricted rotation of the Nacylimino group. The temperature dependence of the N-acylimino side chain signals showed a different coalescence behaviour depending on the substituents at both the main and the side chain.

This paper reports the 1H and 13C nmr parameters of the disilyl- and digermyl-chalcogenide species (MenH3−nM)2E, where M = Si, Ge; E = O, S, Se, Te and n = 0 to 3. The general pattern of changing shifts is markedly influenced by methyl substitution.

The 13C and 14N NMR spectra of 1M solutions of 1-(substituted phenyl)pyridinium salts (4-CH3, 4-OCH3, H, 4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-I, 3-NO2, 4-NO2, 2,4-(NO2)2 (the 13C NMR only)) have been measured in heavy water at 30 °C. The 13C and 14N chemical shifts, the 1J(CH) coupling constants, some 3J(CH) coupling constants, and values of half-widths Δ 1/2 of the 14N NMR signals are given. The 13C chemical shifts of C(4) correlate with the σ0 constants (δC(4) = (1.79 ± 0.097) σ0 + (147.67 ± 0.041)), whereas no correlation of the nitrogen chemical shifts with the σ constants has been found. The half-widths Δ 1/2 correlate with the σ0 constants (Δ 1/2 = (76.2 ± 4.9) σ0 + (106.4 ± 2.2)) except for 1-phenylpyridinium chloride.
