TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Koch, Andreas T1 - Benzyne - an acetylene- or cumulene-like electronic structure? JF - Tetrahedron N2 - The spatial magnetic properties, through-space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS), of benzyne 1 and analogues (benzene 2, 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene 3, cyclohexen-3-yne 4, cyclohexen-4-yne 5, cyclohexyne 6) 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 could be employed to compare the diatropic ring current effects of benzene and benzyne, and, when compared with the spatial magnetic properties of the analogues, to answer the question whether the benzyne electronic structure is more acetylene- or cumulene-like, supported by structural data and delta(C-13)/ppm values.

Similar investigation of the roots of Lannea schweinfurthii (Engl.) Engl. led to the isolation of four known compounds: 3-((E)-nonadec-16′-enyl)phenol, 1-((E)-heptadec-14′-enyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diol, catechin, and 1-((E)-pentadec-12′-enyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diol. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was established by quantum chemical ECD calculations. In an antibacterial activity assay using the microbroth kinetic method, compound 1 showed moderate activity against Escherichia coli while compound 2 exhibited moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Compound 1 also showed moderate activity against E. coli using the disc diffusion method. The roots extract of L. rivae was notably cytotoxic against both the DU-145 prostate cancer cell line and the Vero mammalian cell line (CC50 = 5.24 and 5.20 μg/mL, respectively). Compound 1 was also strongly cytotoxic against the DU-145 cell line (CC50 = 0.55 μg/mL) but showed no observable cytotoxicity (CC50 > 100 μg/mL) against the Vero cell line.

In acetone solution, compounds 1, 2 and 4 were found to exist as mixtures of two conformers in the ratio of 4:1, 4:1 and 8:1, respectively, differing by orientation of the CF3 group with respect to the ring. Compound 3 exists as a mixture of three conformers in the ratio of 3:28:69 also differing by the orientation of the two CF3 groups. Unlike the previously studied N-trifyl substituted 1,3,5-triheterocyclohexanes, the preferred conformers of compound 1 and of 1,4-diheterocyclohexanes 2-4 are those with the CF3 group directed outward from the ring, which is caused by intramolecular interactions of the oxygen atoms of the CF3SO2N groups with the equatorial hydrogens in the ;-position. B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) calculations of the energy, geometry and NMR parameters corroborate the experimental data. The calculated Perlin effects for all conformers of compounds 1-4 as well as those measured for the major conformers of compounds 3 and 4 were analyzed by the use of the NBO analysis.

Of the two alternative routes for their interconversion, the ring inversion path with intermediate formation of the corresponding 2,5-twist-conformer is preferred, with the energy barrier of 11.2 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the experimental value (11.7 kcal/mol).

The structures and relative energies of the axial, axial and equatorial, equatorial conformers were calculated at both the MP2/6-311G* and the MP2/6-311+G* levels of theory, and it was only by including diffuse functions that a good correlation of Delta G degrees(calcd) vs Delta G(exptl) could be obtained. Both the structures and the energy differences of the axial, axial and equatorial, equatorial conformers are discussed with respect to the established models of conformational analysis, viz., steric 1,3-diaxial and hyperconjugative interactions. Interestingly, the hyperconjugative interactions sigma(C-C)/sigma(C-H)->sigma*(C-O), together with a steric effect which also destabilizes the equatorial, equatorial conformers on increasing bulk of the substituents, proved to dominate the position of the conformational equilibria. In addition, the preference of the axial, axial conformers with respect to their equatorial, equatorial analogues was greater than expected from the conformational energies of the corresponding substituents in the monosubstituted cyclohexyl esters.

Methythydrazine regioselectivity was high with the alpha-nitrogen atom overwhelmingly more nucleophilic than the beta-nitrogen atom; phenylhydrazine regioselectivity was poor but varied with the solvent and only in the case of ethanol was nucleophilic predominance of the alpha-nitrogen atom pronounced. Of note, whilst both phenyl thiosemicarbazides were present in solution only as spiro forms, the methyl product was present as an equilibrium mixture of open-chain and spiro thiosemicarbazides.

Two transition states connecting the two conformers and corresponding to clockwise and counterclockwise rotations about the N-S bond were found; the calculated activation barriers of about 12 kcal/mol are in excellent agreement with those measured experimentally for the related molecule 1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-1,3,5-triazinane (1). X-ray analysis proved the existence of the symmetric isomer of 3, which is the minor isomer in solutions but the only one in the crystal due to packing effects. The normal Perlin effect (JCHax < JCHeq)observed for 2(6)-CH2 in 3, whereas the reversed Perlin effect was found for the 4-CH2 group in 3 as well as for all CH2 groups in 1 both experimentally and theoretically. The latter effect in compounds 1, 3, and 1- (methylsulfonyl)-3,5-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-1,3,5-triazinane (2) can be considered as a genuine reverse Perlin effect since larger values of 1JCH are observed for longer C-H bonds.

The structure forced a re-evaluation of the reactant methyl acridin-9-ylthiosemicarbazide, originally thought to be 2-methyl 4-acridin-9-ylthiosemicarbazide based on synthetic expectations, but which when examined by X-ray crystallography was found to be in fact the isomeric 2- methyl 1-acridin-9-ylthiosemicarbazide resulting from rearrangement via a spiro form which it is in equilibrium with in solution. The product resulting from reaction with methyl iodide was also studied and the previously reported semicarbazide produced by reaction with MNO was re-examined. In both cases, the 1,2 isomer rather than the 2,4 isomer was found to be present based on the sign of the 3JCH3,N11 coupling.

Energy calculations indicated that the Z configuration was predominant for each compound and, further, this was supported both by the calculated chemical shifts and the rNOE. Both N-inversion- and rotation-type transition-state structures were also calculated for the E/Z isomerization process, the results indicating that the preferred interconversion mechanism for 1 is N-inversion, but contrastingly, interconversion via rotation is equally as probable as N-inversion for 2. This supports the notion that one or the other or both pathways can be active and each system needs to be assessed on a case- by-case basis.

NCS-NBO analysis was employed to probe contributions of bond orbitals and orbitals of lone pairs to nuclear shielding in conformers of the alcohol generated by rotation of the C-O bond. Variations in H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts with the dihedral angle are discussed in terms of Lewis and non-Lewis partitioning and their respective importance is evaluated. In addition to hyperconjugation of the lone pair in a p orbital of oxygen that was previously reported, a sizable participation of the lone pair which is in an sp orbital is also observed and their combined effect dominates the carbon chemical shifts of the C-1-C-2-OH and C-3-C-2-OH fragments. Both lone pairs on oxygen also contribute to localized, though-space effects on nuclei in the vicinity, these effects answering for the largest deviations in hydrogen chemical shifts on rotation around the C-O bond. On the other hand, for conformers in which nonbonded repulsions lead to distortions in the molecular framework, variations in chemical shifts may be attributed to angular effects Y1 - 2005 SN - 1089-5639 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Neuvonen, Helmi A1 - Neuvonen, Kari A1 - Koch, Andreas A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich T1 - DFT study of the substituent cross-interaction effects on the conformation of substituted N-benzylideneanilines : Models of liquid crystal forming compounds ; use of C-13 Nmr chemcal shift of the C=N carbon as a tool to predict the conformation of the molecule N2 - The conformations of N-benzylideneani lines p-X-C6H4-CH=N-C6H4 p-Y (X, Y = NO2, CN, CF3, F, Cl, Br, H, Me, OMe, NMe2) have been studied by B3LYP density functional (DFT) hybrid method in combination with the 6-31G* or 6-311G* split valence basis set. The twist of the plane of the aniline ring with respect to the other part of the molecule (tau(2)) is systematically controlled by substituents X and Y, the effect of Y being larger. The value of the dihedral angle tau(2), correlates nicely with equation tau(2) = rho(F)(Y)(x)sigma(F)(Y)+rho(+R)(Y)(x)sigma(+)(R)(Y) + k(x) or tau(2) = rho(F)(X)(y)sigma(F)(X)+rho(-)(R)(X)(y)sigma(+)(R)(X) + k(y), respectively, when aniline or benzylidene substituent is varied. ED substituents X diminish the sensitivity of tau(2) to the aniline substituent Y[rho(F)(Y)(x) and rho(+)(R)(Y)(x)] while ED substituents Y increase the sensitivity Of T2 to the benzylidene substituent X[rho(F)(X)(y) and rho(+)(R)(X)(y)]. There seems to be two competitive conjugative interactions for the aniline ring n electrons: one with the nitrogen lone pair and one with the C=N unit. Substituents X and Y adjust the extent of these interactions and therefore the conformation of the molecule. A good correlation is observed between the dihedral angle tau(2) and the experimental C-13 NMR chemical shift of the C=N carbon of N-benzylideneanilines in CDCl3 (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The preference for the Z conformer, Delta E(HF), was calculated to be 5.36 kcal mol(-1) and 7.50 kcal mot(-1) for phenyl acetate and phenyl trifluoroacetate (i.e., with X = H), respectively. The increasing electron-withdrawing ability of the phenyl substituent X increases the preference of the Z conformer. An excellent correlation with a negative slope was observed for both series between Delta E of the E-Z equilibrium and the Hammett sigma constant. By using an appropriate isodesmic reaction, it was shown that electron-withdrawing substituents decrease the stability of both conformers, but the effect is higher with the E conformer. Electron-withdrawing phenyl substituents decrease the delocalization of the lone pair of the ether oxygen to the C=O antibonding orbital (n(O) -> pi*(C=O)) in both the E and Z forms and in both series studied; this effect is higher in the E conformer than in the Z conformer. The n(O) -> pi*(C=O) electron donation has a minimum value with tau(1) = 90 degrees and a maximum value with tau(1) = 90 degrees (the Z conformer), the value with tau(1) = 180 degrees (the E conformer) being between these two values, obviously due to steric hindrance. The effects of the phenyl substituents on the reactivity of the esters studied are discussed in terms of molecular orbital interactions. ED/EW substituents adjust the availability of the pi*(C=O) antibonding orbital to interact with the lone pair orbital of the attacking nucleophile and therefore affect the reactivity: EW substituents increase and ED substituents decrease it. Excellent correlations were observed between the rate coefficients of nucleophilic acyl substitutions and pi*(C=O) occupancies of the ester series 4 and Y1 - 2005 SN - 1089-5639 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Virta, P.

In the first series (1-3) the coupling between a hydrogen, bonded to an Sp(3) carbon, and an Sp(2) carbon is treated; the second series (4- 6) deals with the coupling between a hydrogen, bonded to an Sp3 carbon, and an Sp3 carbon. Different pulse sequences (broadband HMBC, SelJres, 1D HSQMBC, J-HMBC-2, selective J-resolved long-range experiment and IMPEACH-MBC) proved to be useful in determining the long-range (3)J(C,H) coupling constants. However, the dynamic behaviour of two of the compounds (4 and 6) led to weighted averages of the two coupling constants expected (concerning equatorial and axial positions of the corresponding hydrogens). DFT calculations proved to be useful to calculate not only the (3)J(C,H) coupling constants but also the different contributions of FC, PSO, DSO and SD terms; the calculation of the Fermi contact term (FC) was found to be sufficient for the correct estimation of (3)J(C,H) coupling constants.

The contribution of the spin-dipole (SD) term to the coupling constants was found to be negligible, and the diamagnetic and paramagnetic spin-orbit (DSO and PSO) terms cancelled each other, as in the case of J(H,H).

NR2 substituted carbene/betaines tend to adopt betaine structures, whereas in the absence of NR2 substituents, the betaine structures cannot stabilise the structure through both -donation effects of the NMe2 groups and the electronegativity of the nitrogen atoms, and the corresponding carbene-like structures are preferred. These conclusions are supported by calculated bond orders and (C-13)/ppm values.

The obtained calculation results have clearly indicated that the free molecule in electronic ground state is very flexible and accordingly has many possible stable conformers of different conformational properties at room temperature; among them, the one having a macrocyclic ring structure in which all of the ether units oriented toward the center of the ring was determined the energetically most preferable conformer. In addition, the equilibrium geometrical parameters, vibrational normal modes and associated IR spectral data of the determined most stable three conformers of the molecule were calculated at B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) levels of theory. A successful assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the recorded experimental solid phase and solution phase IR spectra of the molecule was achieved in the light of the theoretical data obtained from these DFT calculations. To fit the calculated harmonic wavenumbers to the experimental ones, two different scaling procedures, referred to as "Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field (SQM FF) methodology" and "Scaling wavenumbers with empirical dual scale factors", were proceeded independently.

The through-space shieldings were visualized as a contour plot of iso-chemical shielding surfaces, and were applied to quantify the overall anisotropic effect of the carbonyl groups, as well as to identify the influence of the transition metal on the scopes of the corresponding anisotropy cones. The shielding surfaces show that the anisotropic effect of the carbonyl groups at equatorial positions changes depending on the metal. This effect was associated with pi-backdonation from the metal to the carbonyl groups in that position, in agreement with geometric data as well as calculated NMR parameters. Therefore, visualization of the through-space NMR shieldings of trinuclear metal-carbonyl compounds of group 8 is able to reflect the distinct arrangements of the carbonyl groups in these organometallic compounds.

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.

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.

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.

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. Y1 - 2012 SN - 1521-3765 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Balci, Kubilay A1 - Yapar, G.

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.

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.

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).

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.

While the TSNMRS approach proves really helpful [even in cases of (4n+2) pi-electron cyclic moieties formed via non-covalent polar interactions] quasi-aromaticity suggested for enol forms of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds via resonance-assisted intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding cannot be confirmed.

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 - 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.

A1 - Koch, Andreas A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich 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.
