The binary carbonyl Os4(CO)15, 1, has been prepared by the addition of Os(CO)5 to Os3(CO)10(cyclooctene)2 at −15 °C. The related clusters Os4(CO)13(PMe3)[P(OMe)3], 2, and Os4(CO)14(CNBu′), 3, have been synthesized from Os4(CO)13(PMe3) and Os4(CO)15(CNBu′), respectively. The crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3 reveal similar planar metal skeletons with short (2.774 (1) − 2.793 (2) Å) and long (2.978 (2) − 3.019 (2) Å) peripheral Os—Os bonds; the hinge Os—Os bond in 1–3 ranges in length from 2.936 (2) to 2.948 (1) Å. The variable temperature 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 1 and 3 show that both are highly nonrigid in solution even at −120 °C. The mechanism of nonrigidity is believed to be an all-equatorial, merry-go-round carbonyl exchange. The variable temperature 13C nmr spectra of 2 indicate it is rigid on the nmr time scale in solution at −45 °C. Carbonyl exchange is, however, observed in the spectrum at −6 °C. From the mode of collapse of the signals it is believed that the lowest energy exchange processes in 3 involve axial-equatorial, merry-go-round CO exchanges in the two planes that each contain a short Os—Os bond.

The 13C nmr spectra of oxazole and eight mono- and disubstituted derivatives have been analyzed with regard to the chemical shifts and the various carbon–proton coupling constants of the ring carbons. The data of the parent oxazole are compared with thiazole and 1-methylimidazole.

syn- and anti-7-Isopropyl-2-norbornanone (5 and 6) were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of 7-isopropylidene-2-norbornanone; syn- and anti-7-benzhydryl-2-norbornane (9 and 10) were prepared in analogous fashion. Ketones 5 and 6 and syn- and anti-7-tert-butyl-2-norbornanone (7 and 8) were converted to the corresponding 3-diazo-2-norbornanones 1–4 via the monotosylhydrazones 44–47 of the corresponding α-diketones 40–43. The 1H and 13C nmr spectra of 1–10, 40–47, and their precursors have been analyzed. The 1H nmr spectra of the diazo ketones 1–4 have their C-1 and C-4 bridgehead proton signals shifted to higher and lower field, respectively, relative to the bridgehead signals of the corresponding diketones. The 13C nmr spectra of all pairs of bicyclic epimers shown γ-gauche shielding effects by the 7-substituent at (sp3) C-3 in the syn compounds and at C-5 and C-6 in the anti compounds. A converse effect is found at (sp2) C-2 (and C-3 in the diketones). Comparison of the magnitude of the shielding effects of C-7 methyl, isopropyl, benzhydryl, and tert-butyl substituents gives evidence of δ deshielding effects at C-3 in the syn compounds and at C-5 and C-6 in the anti compounds by methyl substituents on C-8.

The identification of aliphatic hydrocarbons containing multiple asymmetric centers can be difficult because of the complexity of the nmr spectra and because in capillary chromatography the diastereomers may be resolved to varying degrees. We suggest that the most effective method for identifying such hydrocarbons is through the pattern of retention times developed by the mixture of diastereomers on a suitable capillary glc column.This paper presents the results of some studies of a series of alkanes having the general form C2H5—(CH—CH3)n—R, where n = 1 to 4, and includes the syntheses and 13C nmr spectra of the compounds.

Carbon-13 nmr chemical shifts of a number of E-silyl-alkenes containing the silyl substituent at an sp2 carbon atom are presented. Assignments of the chemical shifts have been made by noting systematic variations in the spectra with changes in substituents and by comparison of the chemical shifts to those of the corresponding unsubstituted alkenes. The substituent effects observed were explained on the basis of the π-acceptor ability of the silyl substituents and the structure of the molecules. Comparing the 13C nmr spectra of the E-silyl-alkenes and those of the corresponding unsubstituted alkenes, differential chemical shifts have been obtained which can be used as empirical substituent parameters for the prediction of the 13C nmr spectra of other E-silyl-alkenes not yet studied. It was also demonstrated that 13C nmr spectroscopy can be used without resorting to special techniques (gated decoupling and the addition of paramagnetics) as an alternative method to the 1H nmr for the quantitative analysis of mixtures of regio-isomer E-silyl-alkenes.

The natural abundance carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some C19-diterpenoid alkaloids and their alkamines (lappaconitine, lappaconine, lapaconidine, ranaconine, 14-dehydrobrowniine, aconine, pseudoaconine, deoxyaconine, and hypaconine) have been determined at 15.03 MHz. With the aid of proton decoupling techniques, additivity relationships, and comparison with spectra of related alkaloids, self-consistent and unambiguous assignments of nearly all carbon resonances for these alkaloids have been made. Some important chemical shift trends have been observed, which are useful for identifying the basic C19-diterpenoid alkaloid skeleton and the hydroxy and methoxy group substitution patterns in these alkaloids. On the basis of 13C nmr spectra of lappaconitine and lappaconine, the anthranoyl ester moiety is assigned to the C-4 position in lappaconitine. The 13C nmr spectra of lapaconidine, aconine, and pseudoaconine taken in pyridine and chloroform have been compared to determine the conformational changes of the ring A hydroxy groups in these alkaloids.

The 13C nmr spectra of some 23-hydroxy spirostane sapogenins from Solanum hispidum Pers., mostly as their acetates, have been studied. The effect of different orientations of the substituents at C-23 and C-25 as well as that due to change in the stereochemistry at C-22 have been discussed. The unexpected absence of the γg effect of the axial 23-OH on C-25 in hispigenin (5), a 22βO-spirostane derivative, presumably results from ring F deformation brought about by the steric interaction between 20-Me and 23-OH groups.

Abstract The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the DDT class of pesticides and related compounds are discussed, including a study of the resonances of the aromatic protons as they are affected by various substiluents. The CCl3 moiety on the α-carbon strongly deshields the ortho protons on the aromatic rings, and this deshielding effect is greatly enhanced by substitution of a chlorine ortho rather than para on the aromatic ring. These deshielding effects are explained by a consideration of the electronegativity of the substituents and the stereochemistry of the molecule. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are tabulated.

The previously reported 1:1 complexes formed in MeNO2, between M(SbF6)2 (M = Sn or Pb) and Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2, PhP[(CH2)2PPh2]2, MeC(CH2PPh2)3, P[(CH2)2PPh2]3, and [Formula: see text] have been studied by metal (119Sn or 207Pb) nmr. The metal chemical shifts span the comparatively narrow range of −586 to −792 ppm and 60 to −269 ppm, relative to the resonance of MMe4, for 119Sn and 207Pb nmr, respectively. The implications of these data regarding the denticity of the ligand in M(P[(CH2)2PPh2]3)2+ are discussed, and a comparison with the metal nmr spectra of related stannous and plumbous complexes is made.

Abstract The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 35 carbamate pesticides and a major metabolite of one pesticide are discussed. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are tabulated and reproductions of the more complex or unusual spectra are included. A concentration and solvent dependence of both the NH-proton and the NCH3-proton resonances of an N-monosubstituted carbamate is discussed. Hindered rotation is observed in the N,N-dimethylcarbamates, the thiolcarbamates and the dithiocarbamates, but not in the N-methylcarbamates.
