Configuration magnetic resonance spectroscopy

In favorable cases, cyclization reactions may be useful in estab-hshing configurations, but these methods may also be complicated by isomerizations. It is clear that other approaches are necessary to resolve this structural question. This has been accomplished recently for the isomers of a related system (55) using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 

The absolute configuration of the 9,10-dihydrodiol metabolite was established to be 9R,10R both by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by the structures of the hydrolysis products formed from the svn and anti 9,10-dihydrodio 1-7,8-epoxides which were synthesized from the same 9,10-dihydrodiol enantiomer (13). The absolute configuration of a BaP trans-9.10-dihvdrodiol enantiomer, after conversion to a tetrahydro product, can also be determined by the exciton chirality method (Figure 2) (19.20). 

The determination of the various types of geometric isomers associated with unsaturation in Polymer chains is of great importance, for example, in the study of the structure of modern synthetic rubbers. In table below are listed some of the important infrared absorption bands which arise from olefinic groups. In synthetic "natural" rubber, cis-1, 4-polyisoprene, relatively small amounts of 1, 2 and 3, 4-addition can easily be detected, though it is more difficult to distinguish between the cis and trans-configurations. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is also useful for this analysis.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was of no avail in the study of complex formation of Me2SnCl2 with pyridine in solution since insoluble species are formed with any ratio of reactants. An III spectrum of the Me2SnCl2-7-picoline complex contains (61) a strong singlet for cas(Sn—C), at 560 cm-1, and a broad Sn—Cl multiplet at 233 cm-1, suggesting the Ilia structure. The J( H—C—nl Sn) value of 102.0 Hz found for the solution in CHCh (145), and corrected for the possibility of dissociation, may confirm that the configuration is retained in solution. 

The isolation of indolizidine 207A in sufficient quantity for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (87) established a 5-(pent-4-enyl)-8-methylindolizidine structure as shown in IX. The (5R,8R,9S) absolute configuration shown is the same as that of 205A, which contains a terminal... 

Fig. 18. Alkaloids of the cyclopentaf/ilquinolizidine class from the dendrobatid frog, Minyobates bombetes. The structure of 251F was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (/52), but the absolute configuration of 2S1F is unknown. The other structures are tentative and are based primarily on analogy and mass spectra.

One other pyridine alkaloid has been detected in dendrobatid frogs. The structure of this minor alkaloid, noranabasamine (XIII), was established by proton and carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (14). The ultraviolet spectrum was as follows X ,ax (CH3OH) 244 nm, e 11,000, 275 nm, e 10,000. The optical rotation, [a]o, was -14.4° (CH3OH). Anabasamine, a plant alkaloid, also is levorotatory, but it is unknown whether noranabasamine, now given a code number 239J, has the same 2S configuration. 

Fig. 22. Structures of pseudophrynamines from myobatrachid frogs of the genus Pseu-dophryne. Structures of 2M, 286A, and 512 were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (119). Structures of the other pseudophrynamines are tentative. The absolute configuration of 258 is uncertain but is presumably the same as /-physostigmine (119) as shown in structure XIV.

Isomerism in diene polymers can be measured by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Some of the polymerization methods described in Chapter 9 allow the production of polydienes with known controlled constitutions and geometrical configurations. 

Other workers have studied conformational and configurational equilibria by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Horton and coworkers295ribopyranose tetraacetate exists in acetone-d6 at room temperature in the CE and CA conformations, in rapid equilibrium, in the ratio of 9 11. At —84°, the ratio of the CE and CA conformers was 2 1 at —60°, the rate of interconversion of the two conformers was found to be 130 times per second. The equilibrium... 

Several 4-deoxy-4-nitro ketose derivatives have been synthesized. Three crystalline 2,7-anhydro-4-deoxy-4-nitro-/3-D-heptulopyranoses arose by nitromethane cyclization92 of the dialdehyde (74) produced by periodate oxidation of sedoheptulosan (73), and were assigned93 the D-alio (75), D-gulo (76), and D-altro (77) configurations by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the corresponding, peracetylated amino sugars. When the cyclization of 74 was performed in methan-olic medium, a solid mixture of stereoisomeric nitronates was obtained in almost quantitative yield, and it could be partially separated into the individual nitronates, which furnished 75 and 76. The isomer 77...
