Stereochemistry of complex marine natural products by quantum mechanical calculations of NMR chemical shifts: solvent and conformational effects on okadaic acid.

ABSTRACT: Marine organisms are an increasingly important source of novel metabolites, some of which have already inspired or become new drugs. In addition, many of these molecules show a high degree of novelty from a structural and/or pharmacological point of view. Structure determination is generally achieved by the use of a variety of spectroscopic methods, among which NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) plays a major role and determination of the stereochemical relationships within every new molecule is generally the most challenging part in structural determination. In this communication, we have chosen okadaic acid as a model compound to perform a computational chemistry study to predict 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts. The effect of two different solvents and conformation on the ability of DFT (density functional theory) calculations to predict the correct stereoisomer has been studied.

Project description:Detailed solvent and temperature effects on the experimental 1H-NMR chemical shifts of the natural products chrysophanol (1), emodin (2), and physcion (3) are reported for the investigation of hydrogen bonding, solvation and conformation effects in solution. Very small chemical shift of ???? < 0.3 ppm and temperature coefficients ???/??? ? 2.1 ppb/K were observed in DMSO-d6, acetone-d6 and CDCl3 for the C(1)-OH and C(8)-OH groups which demonstrate that they are involved in a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. On the contrary, large chemical shift differences of 5.23 ppm at 298 K and ??/?? values in the range of -5.3 to -19.1 ppb/K between DMSO-d6 and CDCl3 were observed for the C(3)-OH group which demonstrate that the solvation state of the hydroxyl proton is a key factor in determining the value of the chemical shift. DFT calculated 1H-NMR chemical shifts, using various functionals and basis sets, the conductor-like polarizable continuum model, and discrete solute-solvent hydrogen bond interactions, were found to be in very good agreement with the experimental 1H-NMR chemical shifts even with computationally less demanding level of theory. The 1H-NMR chemical shifts of the OH groups which participate in intramolecular hydrogen bond are dependent on the conformational state of substituents and, thus, can be used as molecular sensors in conformational analysis. When the X-ray structures of chrysophanol (1), emodin (2), and physcion (3) were used as input geometries, the DFT-calculated 1H-NMR chemical shifts were shown to strongly deviate from the experimental chemical shifts and no functional dependence could be obtained. Comparison of the most important intramolecular data of the DFT calculated and the X-ray structures demonstrate significant differences for distances involving hydrogen atoms, most notably the intramolecular hydrogen bond O-H and C-H bond lengths which deviate by 0.152 t? 0.132 Å and 0.133 to 0.100 Å, respectively, in the two structural methods. Further differences were observed in the conformation of -OH, -CH3, and -OCH3 substituents.
