EPR investigations are necessarily carried out in frozen solution at low temperature. Room temperature binding of thiols to FeMoco has been monitored by F NMR spectroscopy using /J-CF3C6H4S as the reporter ligand. These experiments revealed that the binding of thio-late is characterized by a dynamic equilibrium between the FeMoco and thiolate (159) and that cyanide and methyl isocyanide can bind to isolated FeMoco complexed with thiol (160).

The quaternization kinetics were followed by 3H NMR spectroscopy using a JE0L FX-90Q NMR spectrometer. Solvolysis of p nitro-phenylacetate was followed by UV spectroscopy using a Hewlett Packard 8450 A diode array spectrophotometer. 

To date the structure and reactivity of numerous complexes derived from aromatic compounds and nitrosonium cation have been studied (5, 56-63). However, relatively few studies are available on the nitrosonium complexes of cyclophanes (5, 57, 59, 61, 62), cf ref. (63). The interaction of [2.2]paracyclophane with nitrosonium tetrachloroaluminate was studied by H and 13C NMR spectroscopy using deuterium isotope perturbation technique (64). It was found that the resulting nitrosonium complexes containing one (25) or two NO groups (26) are involved in fast interconversion (on the NMR time scale) (Scheme 17). 

Recently, new examples of asymmetric induction in the Pummerer reaction of chiral sulfoxides have been described. Oae and Numata (301) reported that the optically active a-cyanomethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide 275 undergoes a typical Pummerer rearrangement upon heating with excess of acetic anhydride at 120°C, to give the optically active a-acetoxy sulfide 276. The optical purity at the chiral a-carbon center in 276, determined by means of H- NMR spectroscopy using a chiral shift reagent, was 29.8%. 

A study of the state of association of the functionalized organolithium compounds 204a-d was carried out by multinuclear ( H, Li, Li, C, N and P) NMR spectroscopy, using Li- and N-enriched species. Spectral evidence, supported in part by XRD crystallographic evidence, points to compounds 204a-c being dimerically associated in etheric solutions in three different forms (205-207). The interconversion among these three... 

The pyramidal inversion of phosphorus was studied by dynamic NMR spectroscopy using the H signals of N—Me diastereotopic groups in (60) and P signals in Z- and -diastereomers of (61). Kinetics at coalescence temperature revealed the value of AG to increase in the order of increasing electronegativity Si < Sn < Ge <82JOM(224)247>. 

In 1965, the determination of the enantiomeric purity (ee) by NMR spectroscopy using a chiral solvating agent (CSA)69- 73 was first postulated17 and demonstrated experimentally by Pirkle in 1967. An example is the nonequivalence of the proton and fluorine resonances of racemic 2,2,2-trifluoro-l-phenylethanol in the presence of optically active 1-phenylethanamine78 or l-(l-naphthyl)ethanamineS3 (Figure 5).

Yessotoxin (214) is a polyether from the scallop Patinopecten yessoensis and has been implicated in diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP). The structure and partial stereochemistry of yessotoxin were deduced from spectral data [219]. The relative stereochemistry of yessotoxin and the structures of two new analogues, 45-hydroxyyessotoxin (215) and 45,46,47-trinoryessotoxin (216) were also established [220]. The absolute stereochemistry of yessotoxin (214) was determined by NMR spectroscopy using a chiral anisotropic reagent [221]. The absolute configuration at C45 in 45-hydroxyyessotoxin (215), isolated from P. yessoensis, was determined by the use of a modified Mosher s method [222]. 

Support for the mechanism comes from various sources including NMR spectroscopy using 13C labeled MeMgl,309 methylation of primary MeMgl adducts with methyl iodide,306 isolation of intermediates of type 301 and... 

Phosphorus -31. NMR spectroscopy using 31P, the ordinary isotope of phosphorus, also has many uses.466 Application of 31P NMR to living tissues has been extraordinarily informative467 and is dealt with in Chapter 6. The many phosphorus nuclei in nucleotides, coenzymes, and phosphorylated metabolites and proteins are all suitable objects of investigation by NMR techniques. 

The configuration at C-13 of the diterpenes has been a problem for many years. NMR spectroscopy using chiral shift reagents has been suggested as a method to differentiate manool from 13-epi-manool [131]. Most of the diterpenes with a saturated side chain were present as mixtures of C-13 epimers. Small differences in chemical shifts in the H and l3C - NMR spectra did not allow assignement of the stereochemistry at C-13 [132]. 

Various methods may be used to examine configurations of polysilanes, but 29Si NMR spectroscopy has been the most useful. Silicon-29, like carbon-13, has spin 1/2 and a relatively low abundance, 4.7%. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy using 29Si has been important for the characterization of siloxane polymers, and is proving to be equally useful for polysilanes. 

C kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) of four cinnamyl alcohol oxidations have been determined by 13C NMR spectroscopy using competition reactions with reactants at natural 13C abundance. Primary 13C KIEs of the Pd(II)-catalysed oxidation and of the MnC>2 oxidation are similar ( 1.02) and indicate the C—H bond cleavages to be the irreversible and rate-limiting steps in the respective reactions. Low primary 13C KIEs in Swern and Dess-Martin oxidations, however, indicate that the initial C—H bond breakings and proton transfers are not the irreversible steps in these mechanisms, which control the rate.284... 

HPLC H NMR spectroscopy using an isocratic separation with acetonitrile and D2O in the ratio 7 13 has also been used to study photo-isomerisation of the natural material azadirachtin extracted from the seeds of the neem tree and which is a powerful insect anti-feedant [34], This has a complex structure with an (ii)-2-methylbutyl-2-enoate fragment but which after exposure to UY iradiation is converted to the Z-isomer ... 

Not only does 4.12 bind strongly to ATP despite being a flexible corand macrocycle, but it is also capable of accelerating the rate of its hydrolysis by a factor of about 100 over a wide pH range (2.5-8.5). The hydrolysis may be followed very conveniently by NMR spectroscopy using the 31P nucleus, which has a reasonably high receptivity and has a nuclear spin quantum number of V2 (Figure 12.2), which... 

The opposite, the reversal of drug-membrane interaction by addition of Ca2+ ions, has been also studied by NMR spectroscopy using the example of multi drug resistance modifiers [14].
