T1  - Identification of mesomeric substructures by through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS). Trimethine cyanine/merocyanine-like or aromatic pi-electron delocalization?
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of amino-substituted heteraromatic six-membered ring systems such as pyrylium/thiopyrylium analogues have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values were employed to quantify and visualize the existing aromaticity of the studied compounds. Due to strong conjugation of six-membered ring pi-electrons and lone pairs of the exo-cyclic amino substituents (restricted rotation about partial C,N double bonds) the interplay of still aromatic and already dominating trimethine cyanine/merocyanine-like substructures can be estimated.

JF  - Magnetic resonance in chemistry
N2  - The conformational equilibrium of the axial/equatorial conformers of 4-methylene-cyclohexyl pivalate is studied by dynamic NMR spectroscopy in a methylene chloride/freon mixture. At 153K, the ring interconversion gets slow on the nuclear magnetic resonance timescale, the conformational equilibrium (-G degrees) can be examined, and the barrier to ring interconversion (G(#)) can be determined. The structural influence of sp(2) hybridization on both G degrees and G(#) of the cyclohexyl moiety can be quantified.

T1  - Synthesis and stereochemistry of new naphth[1,3]oxazino[3,2-a] benzazepine and naphth[1,3]oxazino[3,2-e]thienopyridine derivatives
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - Through the reactions of 1- or 2-naphthol and 4,5-dihydro-3H-benz[c]azepine or 6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine, new aminonaphthol derivatives were prepared. The syntheses were extended by using N-containing naphthol analogues such as 5-hydroxyisoquinoline and 6-hydroxyquinoline. The ring closures of the novel bifunctional compounds were also achieved, resulting in new naphth[2,1-e][1,3]oxazines, naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazines, isoquinolino[5,6-e][1,3]oxazines and quinolino[5,6-e][1,3]oxazines. H-1 NMR spectra of the target heterocycles 16, 20 and 21 were sufficiently resolved to indentify the present stereochemistry; therefore, beside computed structures, spatial experimental (dipolar coupling-NOE) and computed (ring current effect of the naphthyl moiety-TSNMRS) NMR studies were employed. The studied heterocycles exist exclusively as S(14b),R(N), R(14b),S(N), and S(16b)S(N) isomers, respectively. The flexible moieties of the studied compounds prefer. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

T1  - The effects of conformation and zwitterionic tautomerism on the structural and vibrational spectral data of anserine
JF  - Vibrational spectroscopy : an international journal devoted to applications of infrared and raman spectroscopy
N2  - In this study, the stable conformers of neutral anserine were searched by molecular dynamics simulations and energy minimization calculations using the MM2 force field. Thermochemical calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory followed these preliminary calculations. The results confirmed that neutral anserine has quite a flexible structure and many stable gauche and trans conformers at room temperature. Nevertheless, two are considerably more favourable in energy than the others and expected to dominate the gas-phase and matrix IR spectra of the molecule. The corresponding structural and vibrational spectral data for these two conformers of neutral anserine, whose relative stabilities were also examined by high-accuracy energy calculations carried out using G3MP2B3 method, and for the most stable conformer of anserine in zwitterion form were calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The calculated harmonic force constants were refined using the Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field (SQM-FF) method and then used to produce the refined wavenumbers, potential energy distributions (PEDs) and IR and Raman intensities. These refined data together with the scaled harmonic wavenumbers obtained using another method, Dual Scale factors (DS), enabled us to correctly analyse the observed IR and Raman spectra of anserine and revealed the effects of conformation and zwitterionic tautomerism on its structural and vibrational spectral data.

T1  - 2-Substituted and 2,2-disubstituted adamantane derivatives as models for studying substituent chemical shifts and C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax cyclohexane contacts-results from experimental and theoretical NMR spectroscopic chemical shifts and DFT structures
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - The complete H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shifts assignment for various 2-substituted and 2,2-disubstituted adamantane derivatives 1-38 in CDCl3 solution was realized on the basis of NMR experiments combined with chemical structure information and DFT-GIAO (B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)-GIAO) calculations of chemical shifts in solution. Substituent-induced C-13 NMR chemical shifts (SCS) are discussed. C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts are a textbook prototype of steric hindrance in organic chemistry. The nature of these contacts will be further investigated in this work on basis of new adamantane derivatives, which are substituted at C-2 to provide models for 1,4-C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax and 1,5-C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts. The B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations predicted the presence of NBO hyperconjugative attractive interactions between C-H-ax and Y-ax groups along C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts. The H-1 NMR signal separation, Delta delta(gamma-CH2), reflects the strength of the H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contact. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

T1  - Anisotropy Effect of Three-Membered Rings in H-1 NMR Spectra: Quantification by TSNMRS and Assignment of the Stereochemistry
JF  - The journal of physical chemistry : A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment & general theory
N2  - The spatial magnetic properties (through Space NAIR shieldings, TSNMRSs) of cyclopropane; of the heteroanalogous oxirane, thiirane, and aziridine; and of various substituted dis-, and tris-cyclic analogues have been computed by the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSSs) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values, thus obtained, can be employed to visualize the anisotropy (ring current) effect of I the cyclopropane ring moiety. This approach has been employed to qualify and quantify substituent influences and contributions of appropriate ring heteroatoms O, NH, and S on the anisotropy (ring current) effect of three-mernbered ring moieties, and to assign the stereochemistry of mono-, bis-, and tris cyclic structures containing cyclopropane as a structural element. Characteristic examples are included.

Chelate complexes of both Cu(I) and Cu(II) ions wereconsidered. Aromaticity of the metal complexes studied were analyzed using NICS(0), NICS(1), PDI, I-ring, MCI, ICMCI and I-B aromaticity indices, and by TSNMRS visualizations of the spatial magnetic properties.

JF  - Phytochemistry letters
N2  - The CH2Cl2/MeOH (1: 1) extract of the roots of Tephrosia villosa showed good antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive (D6) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 values of 3.1 +/- 0.4 and 1.3 +/- 0.3 mu g/mL, respectively. Chromatographic separation of the extract yielded a new rotenoid, 6 alpha-hydroxy-alpha-toxicarol, along with five known rotenoids, (rotenone, deguelin, sumatrol, 12 alpha-hydroxy-alpha-toxicarol and villosinol). Similar treatment of the extract of the stem of Tephrosia purpurea (IC50 = 4.1 +/- 0.4 and 1.9 +/- 0.2 mu g/mL against D6 and W2 strains of P. falciparum, respectively) yielded a new flavone having a unique substituent at C-7/C-8 [trivial name (+)-tephrodin], along with the known flavonoids tachrosin, obovatin methyl ether and derrone. The relative configuration and the most stable conformation in (+)-tephrodin was determined by NMR and theoretical energy calculations. The rotenoids and flavones tested showed good to moderate antiplasmodial activities (IC50 = 9 +/- 23 mu M). Whereas the cytotoxicity of rotenoids is known, the flavones (+)-tephrodin and tachrosin did not show significant cytotoxicity (IC50 > 100 mu M;) against mammalian African monkey kidney (vero) and human larynx carcinoma (HEp2) cell lines.

N2  - The spatial magnetic properties (through space NMR shieldings-TSNMRS) of metal complexes (with ligands such as acetylacetone, 3-hydroxy-pyran(4) one) and "metallobenzenes" have been calculated by the GIAO perturbation method and visualized as Iso-Chemical-Shielding Surfaces (ICSS) of various sizes and directions. The TSNMRS values, thus obtained, can be successfully employed to quantify and visualize partial aromaticity of the metallocyclic ring by comparison with the spatial magnetic properties of the corresponding non-complexed ligands in comparable structural and electronic situations, and benzene, respectively. Because anisotropy/ring current effects in H-1 NMR spectra proved to be the molecular response property of TSNMRS, the results obtained concerning partial "chelatoaromaticity" are experimentally ensured.

T1  - NBO analysis of polar and steric effect using the axial-equatorial equilibrium of cyclohexyl acetates as a probe
JF  - Computational and theoretical chemistry
N2  - The proportion of the axial conformer increases in the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium of cyclohexyl acetates (RCOOC(6)H(11), R reversible arrow Me, Et, iPr, tBu, CH(2)Cl, CHCl(2), CO(3). CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) with the increasing size of the acyloxy substitution. The nature of this unexpected steric substituent effect, which is opposite to general stereochemical concepts, was studied by means of ab kiln MO method, accompanied by NBO and isodesmic calculations. NBO parameters seem to be good descriptors for quantitative prediction of the experimental Delta G degrees value of the title conformational equilibrium. The origin and propagation of the substituent effect of the polar substitutions (CH(2)Cl, CHCl(2), CCl(3), CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) differ, however, from those of the pure alkyl (Me, Et, iPr, tBu) substitutions. The Delta G degrees value of the polar derivatives depends on the qC8 charges, on the occupation of the sigma(center dot)(C1-07) orbital and on the hyperconjugative pi(center dot)(c=O) -> sigma(center dot)(C10-X) and sigma(center dot)(C10-X) -> pi(center dot)(c=O) interactions. The substituent sensitivity of these NBC parameters for the two conformers differ to the effect that the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left side with increasing electron withdrawing character of the acyloxy group. The Delta G degrees values of the alkyl derivatives are interpreted in terms of the calculated dipole moments. The destabilization in the non-polar medium (the experimental Delta G degrees values used were measured in CD(2)Cl(2)) due to the enhanced dipolar character is more prominent in the case of the equatorial alkyl conformers. As the consequence, the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left despite the increasing size of the R group when going from Me to tBu substitution.

T1  - Improper Hydrogen Bonded Cyclohexane C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax Contacts theoretical predictions and experimental Evidence from H-1 NMR Spectroscopy of Suitable Axial Cyclohexane Models
JF  - The journal of organic chemistry
N2  - C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax are a textbook prototype of steric hindrance in organic chemistry. The nature of these contacts is investigated in this work. MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculations predicted the presence of improper hydrogen bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax of different strength in substituted cyclohexane rings. To support the theoretical predictions with experimental evidence, several synthetic 2-substituted adamantane analogues (1-24) with suitable improper H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts of different strength were used as models of a substituted cyclohexane ring. The H-1 NMR signal separation, Delta delta(gamma-CH2), within the cyclohexane ring gamma-CH(2)s is raised when the MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculated parameters, reflecting the strength of the H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contact, are increased. In molecules with enhanced improper H-bonded contacts C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax, like those having sterically crowded contacts (Y-ax = t-Bu) or contacts including considerable electrostatic attractions (Y-ax = O-C or O=C) the calculated DFT steric energies of the gamma-axial hydrogens are considerably reduced reflecting their electron cloud compression. The results suggest that the proton H-ax electron cloud compression, caused by the C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts, and the resulting increase in Delta delta(gamma-CH2) value can be effected not just from van der Waals spheres compression, but more generally from electrostatic attraction forces and van der Waals repulsion, both of which are improper H-bonding components.

T1  - 1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolanes - synthesis and stereochemistry
JF  - Magnetic resonance in chemistry
N2  - 1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolane (4) and its cis- and trans-2-methyl (5,6), -4-methyl (7,8) and -5-methyl (9,10) derivatives were prepared by oxidizing the corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes (1-3) with NaIO(4) in water. The oxides were purified and their isomers separated using thin layer chromatography. The structural characterization was carried out with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling. The sulfoxides 4-6 and 8-10 attain two S(1) type envelopes (sometimes slightly distorted) the S=O(ax) envelope greatly dominating. Cis-4-methyl-1-oxo-1,3-dithiolane is a special case exhibiting both two closely related S=O(ax) (30 and 27%) as well as S=O(eq) (21 and 22%) forms [S(1) and C(4) envelopes, respectively]. The relative energies of these conformations, the values of (1)H-(1)H coupling constants and (1)H and (13)C chemical shifts were estimated by computational methods and they support well the conclusions based on the experimental data.

T1  - The anisotropic effect of functional groups in H-1 NMR spectra is the molecular response property of spatial NICS-the frozen conformational equilibria of 9-arylfluorenes
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - Rotation about the single bond adjoining the aryl and fluorene moieties in 9-arylfluorenes can be frozen out on the NMR timescale if methyl groups are located at either one or both of the ortho positions of the aryl substituent. In the ground-state of these rotamers, the planes of the aryl and fluorene moieties are perpendicular to each other and the methyl substituents are consequently positioned either above the fluorene moiety or in-plane with it; thus, the methyl protons are either shielded or deshielded, respectively, due to the ring current effect of the fluorene moiety. This anisotropic effect on the H-1 chemical shifts of the methyl protons has been quantified on the basis of through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) and subsequently Delta delta(calcd) compared with the experimentally observed chemical shift differences, Delta delta(exp). In this context, the experimental anisotropic effects of functional groups in the H-1 NMR have proven to quantitatively be the molecular response property of theoretical spatial nucleus independent chemical shieldings (NICS). Differences between Delta delta(calcd) and Delta delta(exp) were, for the first time, also quantified as arising from steric compression.

T1  - Is the conventional interpretation of the anisotropic effects of C=C double bonds and aromatic rings in NMR spectra in terms of the p-electron shielding/deshielding contributions correct?
JF  - Chemistry - a European journal
N2  - Based on the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) concept, isotropic magnetic shielding values have been computed along the three Cartesian axes for ethene, cyclobutadiene, benzene, naphthalene, and benzocyclobutadiene, starting from the molecular/ring center up to 10 angstrom away. These through-space NMR spectroscopic shielding (TSNMRS) values, which reflect the anisotropic effects, have been broken down into contributions from localized- and canonical molecular orbitals (LMOs and CMOs); these contributions revealed that the proton NMR spectroscopic chemical shifts of nuclei that are spatially close to the C?C double bond or the aromatic ring should not be explained in terms of the conventionally accepted p-electron shielding/deshielding effects. In fact, these effects followed the predictions only for the antiaromatic cyclobutadiene ring.

T1  - A conformational analysis and vibrational spectroscopic investigation on 1,2-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy) ethane molecule
JF  - Vibrational spectroscopy : an international journal devoted to applications of infrared and raman spectroscopy
N2  - The minima on the potential energy surface of 1,2-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy)ethane (CPE) molecule in its electronic ground state were searched by a molecular dynamics simulation performed with MM2 force field. For each of the found minimum-energy conformers, the corresponding equilibrium geometry, charge distribution, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, force field, vibrational normal modes and associated IR and Raman spectral data were determined by means of the density functional theory (DFT) based electronic structure calculations carried out by using B3LYP method and various Pople-style basis sets. The obtained theoretical data confirmed the significant effects of the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding interactions on the conformational structure, force field, and group vibrations of the molecule. The same data have also revealed that two of the determined stable conformers, both of which exhibit pseudo-crown structure, are considerably more favorable in energy to the others and accordingly provide the major contribution to the experimental spectra of CPE. In the light of the improved vibrational spectral data obtained within the "SQM FF" methodology and "Dual Scale Factors" approach for the monomer and dimer forms of these two conformers, a reliable assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the experimental room-temperature IR and Raman spectra of the molecule was given, and the sensitivities of its group vibrations to conformation, substitution and dimerization were discussed.

N2  - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of benzenoid and quinoid tautomeric structures such as benzodifurantrione and phenazine-type molecules have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept of Paul von Rague Schleyer and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values were employed to quantify and visualize the partial aromaticity of the studied compounds. In the case of the surprisingly more stable quinoid tautomers, the aromaticity-synonymous with stability due to the conjugation of p electrons and lone pairs-was not found to be particularly reduced.

T1  - Taft equation in the light of NBO computations introduction of a novel polar computational substituent constant scale sigma(q)* for alkyl groups
JF  - Computational and theoretical chemistry
N2  - The validity of the Taft equation: log(k(R)/k(CH3)) = rho*sigma* + delta E-S was studied with the aid of NBO computational results concerning cyclohexyl esters RCOOC6H11 [R = Methyl, Ethyl, n-Propyl, Isopropyl, n-Butyl, Isobutyl, sec-Butyl, tert-Butyl, Neopentyl, CH(CH2CH3)(2), CH(CH3)C(CH3)(3), C(CH3)(2)CH2CH3, C(CH3)(2)C(CH3)(3), CH(CH3)(Np), CH(iPr)(tBu), C(Me)(Et)(iPr), C(Et)(2)(tBu) or C(Et)(iPr)(tBu)]. It was proved that the sigma*(alkyl) value is a composite substitutent constant including the polar and steric contributions. A novel computational sigma(q)* substituent constant scale is presented based on the NBO atomic charges of the alpha-carbon and the computational total steric exchange energies E(ster) of the cyclohexyl esters specified above. The method used offers a useful way to calculate sigma*(alkyl) values for alkyl groups for which experimental Taft's polar sigma* parameters are not available.

JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - The esters of 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and a series of carboxylic acids R-COOH with R of different electronic and steric influence (R=Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, CF3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, CH2Br, CHBr2, and CBr3) were synthesized and the conformational equilibria studied by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy at 103 K and at 295 K, respectively. The geometry of optimized structures of the axial 'equatorial chair conformers was computed at the ab initio MO and DFT levels of theory. Only one preferred conformation was obtained for the axial and the equatorial conformer as well. When comparing the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexanone esters with those of the corresponding cyclohexyl esters a certain polarity contribution of the cyclohexanone framework was revealed, which is independent of the substituent effects and increases the stability of the axial conformers by a constant amount.

JF  - Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie
N2  - A series of new heteroleptic MN2S2 transition metal complexes with M = Cu2+ for EPR measurements and as diamagnetic hosts Ni2+, Zn2+, and Pd2+ were synthesized and characterized. The ligands are N2 = 4, 4'-bis(tert-butyl)-2, 2'-bipyridine (tBu2bpy) and S2 =1, 2-dithiooxalate, (dto), 1, 2-dithiosquarate, (dtsq), maleonitrile-1, 2-dithiolate, or 1, 2-dicyanoethene-1, 2-dithiolate, (mnt). The CuII complexes were studied by EPR in solution and as powders, diamagnetically diluted in the isostructural planar [NiII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] or[PdII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] as well as in tetrahedrally coordinated[ZnII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] host structures to put steric stress on the coordination geometry of the central CuN2S2 unit. The spin density contributions for different geometries calculated from experimental parameters are compared with the electronic situation in the frontier orbital, namely in the semi-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the copper complex, derived from quantum chemical calculations on different levels (EHT and DFT). One of the hosts, [NiII(tBu2bpy)(mnt)], is characterized by X-ray structure analysis to prove the coordination geometry. The complex crystallizes in a square-planar coordination mode in the monoclinic space group P21/a with Z = 4 and the unit cell parameters a = 10.4508(10) angstrom, b = 18.266(2) angstrom, c = 12.6566(12) angstrom, beta = 112.095(7)degrees. Oxidation and reductions potentials of one of the host complexes, [Ni(tBu2bpy)(mnt)], were obtained by cyclovoltammetric measurements.

N2  - The spatial magnetic properties (through-space NMR shieldings, or TSNMRSs) of the antiaromatic 9-oxaanthracene anion 12(-) and of the corresponding 9-dimeric dianion 11(2-) have been calculated by the gauge-invariant atomic orbitals (GIAO) perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept and visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSSs) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values, thus obtained, can be employed to indicate antiaromaticity by paratropic ring currents of the anionic compounds of 11(2-) and 12(-) studied and other neutral and ionic antiaromatic molecules from previous studies because anisotropic effects of functional groups in H-1 NMR spectra have quantitatively proven to be the molecular response property of theoretical spatial nucleus independent chemical shieldings (NICS).

JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - The syntheses of naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazino[3,2-c]quinazolin-13-one derivatives (3a-f) were achieved by the solvent-free heating of benzyloxycarbonyl-protected intermediates (2a-f) with MeONa. For intermediates 2a-f, prepared by the reactions of substituted aminonaphthols with benzyl N-(2-formylphenyl)carbamate, not only the expected trans ring form B and chain form A(1), but also the rearranged chain form A(2) as a new tautomer were detected in DMSO at room temperature. The quantity of A(2) in the tautomeric mixture was changed with time.
 Conformational analyses of the target heterocycles 3a-f by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical calculations at the DFT level of theory revealed that the oxazine ring preferred a twisted chair conformation and the quinazolone ring was planar. Besides the conformations, both the configurations at C-7a and C-15 and the preferred rotamers of the 1-naphthyl substituent at C-15 were assigned, which allowed evaluation of the aryl substituent-dependent steric hindrance in this part of the molecules. Configurational assignments were corroborated by quantifying the ring current effect of 15-aryl in terms of spatial NICS.

Both orthogonal linear and orthogonal bent structures have been obtained. In the latter case the push-pull character could be quantified by the quotient method. The C-13 chemical shift of the central allene carbon atom C-2 and chemical shift differences Delta delta(C-1, C-2) and Delta delta(C-2, C-3) of allene carbon atoms proved to be a quantitative alternative.

T1  - Nature of the steric Omega(S), E-R and E-S ' substituent constants -  comparison with the aid of NBO and STERIC analysis
JF  - Computational and theoretical chemistry
N2  - The nature of the major steric substituent constant scales for alkyl substituents, i.e. Omega(S), E-R and E-S' scales, was studied with the aid of the NBO and the natural steric (STERIC) analyses. Cyclohexyl esters R-3-CCOOC6H11 (R = alkyl or H) were used as the model compounds. Special emphasis was laid on the potential contribution of the polar component in these steric substituent parameters. In the light of our model the Omega(S) scale seems to be dominantly a steric substituent constant scale as is seen on the strengths of the good correlation between the Omega(S) constants of the CR3 group and the total steric exchange energy values E-TSEE for the model compounds. However, the Omega(S) values also seem to include a minor electronic component due to the varying electrostatic effect via the C alpha atom. On the other hand, E-R and E-S' parameters largely hinge on the size dependent polar effect of the CR3 alkyl group. By way of our model this repulsive interaction can be quantified by descriptor Delta q(OCO), the natural charge difference q(C)(C=O) - Sigma qO for the O-C(=O) functional group. Delta q(OCO) depends on the E-TSEE values, on qC alpha and on the polarization coefficients of the oxygen hybrid in the NBO of the pi(C=O) bond. The size sensitivity of the kinetic E-S' constants can be connected to variation of the Burgi-Dunitz angle in the transition state for the standard reaction used. A comparison is made for the q(C)(C=O) or Delta q(OCO) values computed on the one hand with the NBO formalism and on the other hand with the Hirshfeld formalism. A practical novel substituent constant q(C)(C=O) for the size of the alkyl groups is introduced.

T1  - Unexpected isomerization of new naphth[1,3]oxazino[2,3-a] isoquinolines in solution, studied by dynamic NMR and supported by theoretical DFT computations
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - Through the reactions of 1-aminomethyl-2-naphthol and substituted 1-aminobenzyl-2-naphthols with 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline or 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline under microwave conditions, naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]-isoquinoline derivatives were prepared in good yields. The latter reaction was extended by using 2-aminoarylmethyl-1-naphthols, leading to isomeric naphth-[2,1-e][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a] isoquinolines. Beside the detailed NMR spectroscopic and theoretical study of both stereochemistry and dynamic behaviour of these new conformational flexible heterocyclic ring systems an unexpected dynamic process between two diastereomers was observed in solution, studied by variable temperature H-1 NMR spectroscopy and the mechanism proved by theoretical DFT computations.

T1  - Studies of the regioselective ring-opening closing mode of functionally different thiazolidine type enaminones - en route to the synthesis of trithiaazapentalene derivatives
JF  - Tetrahedron
N2  - Trithiaazapentalene derivatives were prepared by the reaction of 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines with Lawesson's reagent. They are classified as two structurally different trithiaazapentalene compounds that have different contributions of monocyclic 1,2-dithiole and 1,2,4-dithiazole structures and degrees of aromaticity of the bicyclic trithiaazapentalene system. The electron-donating ability of substituents at the C(5) position of the trithiaazapentalene system is recognized as the main cause for changes in pi-Celectron distribution. This is the first complete study of substituent effects on the structure of trithiapentalenes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

T1  - Spatial magnetic properties subject to lone pair and pi electron delocalization in benzenoid and quinoid structures : are quinoid tautomers really nonaromatic?
N2  - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of benzenoid and quinoid tautomeric structures such as benzodifurantrione and phenazine-type molecules have been calculated using the GIAO perturbation method employing the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) concept of Paul von Rague Schleyer and visualized as iso- chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction. The TSNMRS values were employed to quantify and visualize the partial aromaticity of the studied compounds. In the case of the surprisingly more stable quinoid tautomers, the aromaticity-synonymous with stability due to the conjugation of p electrons and lone pairs-was not found to be particularly reduced.

T1  - The anisotropic effect of functional groups in 1H NMR spectra is the molecular response property of spatial NICS-the frozen conformational equilibria of 9-arylfluorenes
N2  - Rotation about the single bond adjoining the aryl and fluorene moieties in 9-arylfluorenes can be frozen out on the NMR timescale if methyl groups are located at either one or both of the ortho positions of the aryl substituent. In the ground-state of these rotamers, the planes of the aryl and fluorene moieties are perpendicular to each other and the methyl protons are either shielded or deshielded, respectively, due to the ringe current effect of the fluorene moiety. This anisotropic effect on the 1H chemical shifts of the methyl protons has been quantified on the basis of through- space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) and subsequently _______ compared with the experimentally observed chemical shift differences _____. In this context, the experimental anisotropic effects of functional groups in the !H NMR have proven to quantitatively be the molecular response property of theoretical spatial nucleus independent chemical shieldings (NICS). Differences between _______ and _____ were, for the first time, also quantified as arising from steric compression.

T1  - Synthesis and NMR spectroscopic conformational analysis of esters of 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone-the more polar the molecule the more stable the axial conformer
N2  - The esters of 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and a series of carboxylic acids R-COOH with R of different electronic and steric influence (R=Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, CF3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, CH2Br, CHBr2, and CBr3) were synthesized and the conformational equilibria studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy at 103 K and at 295 K, respectively. The geometry of optimized structures of the axial/equatorial chair conformers was computed at the ab initio MO and DFT levels of theory. Only one preferred conformation was obtained for the axial and the equatorial conformer as well. When comparing the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexanone esters with those of the corresponding cyclohexyl esters a certain polarity contribution of the cyclohexanone framework was revealed, which is independent of the substituent effects and increases the stability of the axial conformers by a constant amount.

T1  - Syntheses and conformational analyses of new naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazino[3,2-c]quinazolin-13-ones
N2  - The syntheses of naphth[1,2-e][1,3]oxazino[3,2-c]quinazolin-13-one derivatives (3a-f) were achieved by the solvent-free heating of benzyloxycarbonyl-protected intermediates (2a-f) with MeONa. For intermediates 2a-f, prepared by the reactions of substituted aminonaphthols with benzyl N-(2-formylphenyl)carbamate, not only the expected trans ring form B and chain form A1, but also the rearranged chain form A2 as a new tautomer were detected in DMSO at room temperature. The quantity of A2 in the tautomeric mixture was changed with time. Conformational analyses of the target heterocycles 3a-f by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying theoretical calculations at the DFT level of theory revealed that the oxazine ring preferred a twisted chair conformation and the quinazolone ring was planar. Besides the conformations, both the configurations at C-7a and C-15 and the preferred rotamers of the 1-naphthyl substituent at C-15 were assigned, which allowed evaluation of the aryl substituent-dependent steric hindrance in this part of the molecules. Configurational assignments were corroborated by quantifying the ring current effect of 15-aryl in terms of spatial NICS.

T1  - Novel piperidine-fused benzoxazino- and quinazolinonaphthoxazines-synthesis and conformational study
N2  - The reactions of 1-(amino(2-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)-2-naphthol (3) and 1-(amino(2-aminophenyl)methyl)-2-naphthol (6) with glutardialdehyde resulted in the formation of piperidine-fused benzoxazinonaphthoxazine 4 and quinazolinonaphthoxazine 7, respectively, both in diastereopure form. The full conformational search protocols of 4 and 7 were successfully carried out by NMR spectroscopy and accompanying molecular modelling; the global minimum-energy conformers of all diastereomers were computed, and the assignments of the most stable stereoisomers, Gtct1 for 4 and Gtct1 for 7, were corroborated by spatial NOE information relating to the H7a-H10a-H15b and H,H coupling patterns of the protons in the flexible part of the piperidine moiety. Additionally, mass spectrometric fragmentation was investigated in collision-induced dissociation experiments. The elemental compositions of the ions were determined by accurate mass measurements.

T1  - A conformational analysis and vibrational spectroscopic investigation on 1,2-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy) ethane molecule
N2  - The minima on the potential energy surface of 1,2-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy) ethane (CPE) molecule in its electronic ground state were searched by a molecular dynamics simulation performed with MM2 force field. For each of the found minimum-energy conformers, the corresponding equilibrium geometry, charge distribution, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, force field, vibrational normal modes and associated IR and Raman spectral data were determined by means of the density functional theory (DFT) based electronic structure calculations carried out by using B3LYP method and various Pople- style basis sets. The obtained theoretical data confirmed the significant effects of the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding interactions on the conformational structure, force field, and group vibrations of the molecule. The same data have also revealed that two of the determined stable conformers, both of which exhibit pseudo-crown structure, are considerably more favorable in energy to the others and accordingly provide the major c ntribution to the experimental spectra of CPE. In the light of the improved vibrational spectral data obtained within the "SQM FF" methodology and "Dual Scale Factors" approach for the monomer and dimer forms of these two conformers, a reliable assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the experimental room-temperature IR and Raman spectra of the molecule was given, and the sensitivities of its group vibratb20s to conformation, substitution and dimerization were discussed.

T1  - Is the Conventional Interpretation of the Anisotropic Effects of CC Double Bonds and Aromatic Rings in NMR Spectra in Terms of the -Electron Shielding/Deshielding Contributions Correct?
N2  - Based on the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) concept, isotropic magnetic shielding values have been computed along the three Cartesian axes for ethene, cyclobutadiene, benzene, naphthalene, and benzocyclobutadiene, starting from the molecular/ring center up to 10;Å away. These through-space NMR spectroscopic shielding (TSNMRS) values, which reflect the anisotropic effects, have been broken down into contributions from localized- and canonical molecular orbitals (LMOs and CMOs); these contributions revealed that the proton NMR spectroscopic chemical shifts of nuclei that are spatially close to the C=C double bond or the aromatic ring should not be explained in terms of the conventionally accepted ;-electron shielding/deshielding effects. In fact, these effects followed the predictions only for the antiaromatic cyclobutadiene ring.

T1  - 1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolanesùsynthesis and stereochemistry
N2  - 1-Oxo-1,3-dithiolane (4) and its cis- andtrans-2-methyl (5,6), -4-methyl (7,8) and -5-methyl (9,10) derivatives were prepared by oxidizing the corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes (1-3) with NaIO4 in water. The oxides were purified and their isomers separated using thin layer chromatography. The structural characterization was carried out with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling. The sulfoxides 4-6 and 8-10 attain two S(1) type envelopes (sometimes slightly distorted) the S=Oax envelope greatly dominating. Cis-4-methyl-1-oxo-1,3-dithiolane is a special case exhibiting both two closely related S=Oax (30 and 27%) as well as S=Oeq (21 and 22%) forms [S(1) and C(4) envelopes, respectively]. The relative energies of these conformations, the values of 1H-1H coupling constants and 1H and 13C chemical shifts were estimated by computational methods and they support well the conclusions based on the experimental data.

T1  - Endohedral and external through-space shieldings of the fullerenes C50, C60, C60-6, C70, and C70-6- visualization of (Anti)aromaticity and their effects on the chemical shifts of encapsulated nuclei
N2  - Endohedral and external through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) and the magnetic susceptibilities of the fullerene carbon cages of C50, C60, C60-6, C70, and C70-6 were assessed by ab initio molecular orbital calculations. Employing the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) concept, these TSNMRS were visualized as isochemical shielding surfaces (ICSS) and were applied to quantitatively estimate either the aromaticity or the anti-aromaticity on the fullerene surface pertaining to the five- or six-membered ring moieties and the shielding of any nuclei enclosed within the carbon cages. Differences between the NICSs calculated at the center of the fullerene carbon cages and the experimental chemical shifts of encapsulated NMR-active nuclei as well as experimental shieldings observed for different encapsulated nuclei were able to be understood readily for the first time.

T1  - Visualization and quantification of the anisotropic effect of C=C double bonds on 1H NMR spectra of highly congested hydrocarbons-indirect estimates of steric strain
N2  - The anisotropic effect of the olefinic C=C double bond has been calculated by employing the NICS (nucleus independent chemical shift) concept and visualized as an anisotropic cone by a through space NMR shielding grid. Sign and size of this spatial effect on 1H chemical shifts of protons in norbornene, exo- and endo-2-methylnorbornenes, and in three highly congested tetracyclic norbornene analogs have been compared with the experimental 1H NMR spectra as far as published. 1H NMR spectra have also been calculated at the HF/6-31G* level of theory to get a full, comparable set of proton chemical shifts. Differences between ;(1H)/ppm and the calculated anisotropic effect of the C=C double bond are discussed in terms of the steric compression that occurs in the compounds studied.
