1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral data are presented for 1,2-dimethoxybenzene-α,α′-13C, as well as for a number of other anisole derivatives. For the title molecule, the coupling constants between the 13C nucleus in the side chain and the para ring proton or 13C nucleus in the benzene ring show that the expectation value of sin2 θ is very near 0.2 at 300 K, where θ is the angle by which the methoxy groups twist out of the aromatic plane. This value of [Formula: see text] is much larger than that of 0.05 for anisole in solution, emphasizing the greater conformational mobility of the methoxy groups in 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (DMB). Long-range coupling constants between the methyl and ring protons in DMB are also discussed and compared with those in anisole and some of its derivatives. The preponderance of conformations with large values of θ, thought to occur in the vapor, disappears in solution at ambient temperatures. Under these conditions, the molecule is perhaps best described as preferring a planar conformation in which, however, the methoxy groups undergo excursions in θ whose average value is near 25°. Keywords: 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, conformational behaviour, internal mobility, long-range coupling constants, 1H and 13C NMR.

It was found that three crystalline forms of ethylene glycol dibenzoate can be prepared. Infrared and Raman spectra of these three forms, as well as of the glassy and liquid states, were measured. From 3JHH coupling constants obtained by analysis of the 13C satellite band of the -CH2- group in 1H NMR spectra, and from the 3JCH coupling constants of the -CO.O.CH2- fragment obtained by analysis of the carbonyl band in 13C NMR spectra it was found that in the liquid state the -CH2-CH2- group exists predominantly in the gauche conformational structure, and the bonds C-O-C-C assume predominantly a trans orientation. The results of the analysis of NMR and vibrational spectra were used for the structural interpretation of conformationally sensitive bands in vibrational spectra of ethylene glycol dibenzoate.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

A series of derivatives with various oxygen functionalities in positions 17,22a or 19,20 was prepared from diene I and olefin XVI by addition and oxidation reactions. The structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The kind of intramolecular association of the 17α-hydroxy group was studied in connection with modification of the side chain and substitution in position 22a. Complete assignment of the hydrogen signals and most of the coupling constants was accomplished using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra are discussed.

The inversion potentials, obtained from STO-3G, STO-3G(*), 3-21G, 3-21G(*), and 4-31G basis sets, are reported for thianthrene and thioxanthene, molecules in which both or only one of the methylene groups have been replaced by sulfur in 9,10-dihydroanthracene. Comparison with the available experimental data suggests that the split-valence bases lead to an overestimate, possibly by about 10 kJ/mol, of the inversion barrier in the crystal, whereas the STO-3G and STO-3G* basis sets underestimate this barrier. It appears that the inversion barrier for thianthrene is much lower in solution than in the crystal. The long-range coupling constants between the methylene and ring protons for thioxanthene in solution are consistent with an inversion barrier somewhat smaller than those obtained with the split-valence bases but rather larger than those predicted with the STO-3G basis set. The bond lengths and angles in the equilibrium structures of the two molecules, as computed with the 3-21G(*) basis, agree reasonably well with those in their crystals, except that the theoretical folding angles are smaller than measured. These discrepancies become less marked when expectation values are calculated from the theoretical inversion potentials at finite temperatures. Key words: MO calculations, inversion potentials of thianthrene and thioxanthene; 1H NMR, thioxanthene; spin–spin coupling constants, long range, in thioxanthene.

From the leaf exudate of Aloe lateritia ENGLER the C-glucosyl com pounds homonataloin, aloeresin A and aloesin (synon. aloeresin B) were isolated together with the anthraquinone nataloeem odin-8-methylether and spectroscopically identified. Hom onataloin, widely distributed in Aloe species, was separated into homonataloin A and B by combined TLC and DCCC. In their 1 D and 2D 1H NMR spectra only the shifts of the 2′-hydroxyl protons of both glucosyl residues differ significantly, indicative of 10 S (A) resp. 10 S (B) configurations. In both com pounds the anthrone is in β-position of the D-glucopyranosyl, as determined by the large coupling constants of the anomeric protons. The 13C NMR signals are unambiguously assigned by the use of DEPT, APT and gated-decoupling methods. Only the chemical shifts of C -11 and C -14 show significant differences between both diastereomers due to the adjacent 2′-sugar hydroxyls. The two homonataloins differ mostly in optical rotation and circulardichroism due to different configurations at C - 10 of the anthrone part. The absolute configurations of the diastereomers are determined by correlation of their CD spectra with the CD spectra of the structural analogues 7-hydroxyaloins A and B, which shows that hom onataloin A is the 10 S, 1′S-compound and that homonataloin B has 10 R, 1′S-configuration.

STO-3G and 4-31G MO computations are reported for a range of values of the folding angle in xanthene, the dihedral angle between the benzene planes. Unlike 9,10-dihydroanthracene but like dibenzo-p-dioxin, its "parent" molecules, the inversion or puckering potential for xanthene is calculated to be rather flat. The molecular energies between a folding angle of 180° (planar molecule) and 120° are reproduced by analytical functions of [Formula: see text], θ being the folding angle. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between the methylene protons and the aromatic protons at 300 K are reported for xanthene dissolved in a CS2/C6D12 solvent mixture and in acetone-d6 solution. These conformationally sensitive coupling constants are consistent with the theoretical puckering potentials and therefore with substantial "butterfly" motion at ambient temperatures. The computed geometries of xanthene are also given and briefly discussed. Keywords: xanthene, MO computations on inversion; xanthene, long-range spin–spin coupling constants; xanthene, internal motion; xanthene, inversion potentials.

2,4,6-Trithiaheptane (1a) has been prepared by lithium tetrahydridoaluminate reduction of the methiodide of 1,3,5-trithiane (2). Treatment of 1a with strong bases permitted formation of 3-alkylated derivatives (3) which could in turn be converted into diastereomeric mixtures of 3,5-dialkyl derivatives (4). A two-step alkylation of 1a with 1-bromo-3-chloropropane led to the formation of 2,6-bis(methylthio)thiane (5). Proton and 13C nmr spectral studies on these compounds, including the measurement of long-range carbon–proton coupling constants, are described; their mass spectra showed elimination of methanethiol as a characteristic major fragmentation pathway.

Internal rotational potentials for rotation about the Csp2—O bond in C6H5OCF3 and its 4-fluoro derivative are computed at the STO-3G and 3-12G levels of molecular orbital theory. As for anisole, the perpendicular conformer is calculated as least stable for C6H5OCF3 but the height of the internal barrier is considerably lower than in anisole. The 4-fluoro substituent reduces the twofold component significantly, indicating reduced p …π conjugation, but does not much change the values of the higher terms in the theoretical potentials. The internal potentials are rather flat with minima between about 30° and 45°, these angles measuring the twist away from planarity. The 1H, 13C, and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in polar and nonpolar solution yield long-range coupling constants, nJ(1H,19F) and nJ(13C,19F). These parameters are qualitatively consistent with relatively low barriers to rotation about the Csp2—O bonds in these molecules and with only a small dependence on solvent polarity. Key words: C6H5OCF3 and 4-F-C6H4OCF3: 1H NMR, 19F NMR, conformations, MO computations.
