DFT Calculations of ¹H NMR Chemical Shifts of Geometric Isomers of Conjugated Linolenic Acids, Hexadecatrienyl Pheromones, and Model Triene-Containing Compounds: Structures in Solution and Revision of NMR Assignments.

ABSTRACT: A DFT study of the ¹H NMR chemical shifts, δ(¹H), of geometric isomers of 18:3 conjugated linolenic acids (CLnAs), hexadecatrienyl pheromones, and model triene-containing compounds is presented, using standard functionals (B3LYP and PBE0) as well as corrections for dispersion interactions (B3LYP-D3, APFD, M06-2X and ωB97XD). The results are compared with literature experimental δ(¹H) data in solution. The closely spaced "inside" olefinic protons are significantly more deshielded due to short-range through-space H^…H steric interactions and appear close to or even beyond δ-values of aromatic systems. Several regularities of the computational δ(¹H) of the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are reproduced very accurately for the lowest-energy DFT-optimized single conformer for all functionals used and are in very good agreement with experimental δ(¹H) in solution. Examples are provided of literature studies in which experimental resonance assignments deviate significantly from DFT predictions and, thus, should be revised. We conclude that DFT calculations of ¹H chemical shifts of trienyl compounds are powerful tools (i) for the accurate prediction of δ(¹H) even with less demanding functionals and basis sets; (ii) for the unequivocal identification of geometric isomerism of conjugated trienyl systems that occur in nature; (iii) for tackling complex problems of experimental resonance assignments due to extensive signal overlap; and (iv) for structure elucidation in solution.

NMR Assignments of Six Asymmetrical N-Nitrosamine Isomers Determined in an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient by DFT Calculations.

Project description:N-nitrosamines, which are well-known pro-mutagens, are found in drugs, pickled food and tobacco. Therefore, controlling their concentrations is very important. When an HPLC, GC or NMR analysis is conducted to investigate certain asymmetrical N-nitrosamines, two sets of signals attributed to the asymmetric N-nitrosamine isomers are usually observed. However, few reports on the NMR assignment of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine isomers have been published. In this study, we investigated the NMR assignments of the Z/E isomers of six asymmetrical N-nitrosamines by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The configuration of the major isomer of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine 3 was the Z-configuration. The configuration of the major isomers of asymmetrical N-nitrosamines 4-7 was the E-configuration. Then, we determined the Z/E ratios of these asymmetrical N-nitrosamines by means of variable temperature (VT) and room temperature (RT) 1H-NMR experiments. The ratios of the Z/E isomer 3 quickly increased beyond 100% in the VT 1H NMR experiments. The ratios of Z/E isomers 4-7 were increased in the range of 10-60% in the VT 1H NMR experiments. The results of this study indicate that identifying the isomers of asymmetrical N-nitrosamine is necessary to control the quality of N-nitrosamines for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

DFT Calculations of 1H- and 13C-NMR Chemical Shifts of Geometric Isomers of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (18:2 ω-7) and Model Compounds in Solution.

Project description:A density functional theory (DFT) study of the 1H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts of the geometric isomers of 18:2 ω-7 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and nine model compounds is presented, using five functionals and two basis sets. The results are compared with available experimental data from solution high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The experimental 1H chemical shifts exhibit highly diagnostic resonances due to the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds. The "inside" olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are deshielded than those of the "outside" protons. Furthermore, in the cis/trans isomers, the signals of the cis bonds are more deshielded than those of the trans bonds. These regularities of the experimental 1H chemical shifts of the olefinic protons of the conjugated double bonds are reproduced very accurately for the lowest energy DFT optimized single conformer, for all functionals and basis sets used. The other low energy conformers have negligible effects on the computational 1H-NMR chemical shifts. We conclude that proton NMR chemical shifts are more discriminating than carbon, and DFT calculations can provide a valuable tool for (i) the accurate prediction of 1H-NMR chemical shifts even with less demanding functionals and basis sets; (ii) the unequivocal identification of geometric isomerism of CLAs that occur in nature, and (iii) to derive high resolution structures in solution.

Wheldone Revisited: Structure Revision Via DFT-GIAO Chemical Shift Calculations, 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE NMR Spectroscopy, and X-ray Crystallography Studies.

Project description:Wheldone is a fungal metabolite isolated from the coculture of Aspergillus fischeri and Xylaria flabelliformis, displaying cytotoxic activity against breast, melanoma, and ovarian cancer cell lines. Initially, its structure was characterized as an unusual 5-methyl-bicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-3,5-diene scaffold with a 2-hydroxy-1-propanone side chain and a 3-(2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)acrylic acid moiety. Upon further examination, minor inconsistencies in the data suggested the need for the structure to be revisited. Thus, the structure of wheldone has been revised using an orthogonal experimental-computational approach, which combines 1,1-HD-ADEQUATE NMR experiments, DFT-GIAO chemical shift calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis of a semisynthetic p-bromobenzylamide derivative, formed via a Steglich-type reaction. The summation of these data now permits the unequivocal assignment of both the structure and absolute configuration of the natural product.

Stereochemical revision of xylogranatin F by GIAO and DU8+ NMR calculations.

Project description:This manuscript describes predicted NMR shifts for the limonoid natural product xylogranatin F. The 1 H and 13 C NMR shifts of four diastereomers were evaluated by GIAO and hybrid DFT/parametric DU8+ methods. The results of the 1 H and 13 C NMR calculations for both the GIAO method and the DU8+ calculations suggest the revised structure that was recently reassigned by chemical synthesis. Furthermore, we show that while DU8+ provides superior accuracy with less computation time, GIAO points to the correct structure with more distinguishable data in this case study.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding Involving Organic Fluorine: NMR Investigations Corroborated by DFT-Based Theoretical Calculations.

Project description:The combined utility of many one and two dimensional NMR methodologies and DFT-based theoretical calculations have been exploited to detect the intramolecular hydrogen bond (HB) in number of different organic fluorine-containing derivatives of molecules, viz. benzanilides, hydrazides, imides, benzamides, and diphenyloxamides. The existence of two and three centered hydrogen bonds has been convincingly established in the investigated molecules. The NMR spectral parameters, viz., coupling mediated through hydrogen bond, one-bond NH scalar couplings, physical parameter dependent variation of chemical shifts of NH protons have paved the way for understanding the presence of hydrogen bond involving organic fluorine in all the investigated molecules. The experimental NMR findings are further corroborated by DFT-based theoretical calculations including NCI, QTAIM, MD simulations and NBO analysis. The monitoring of H/D exchange with NMR spectroscopy established the effect of intramolecular HB and the influence of electronegativity of various substituents on the chemical kinetics in the number of organic building blocks. The utility of DQ-SQ technique in determining the information about HB in various fluorine substituted molecules has been convincingly established.

DFT Calculations of <sup>31</sup>P NMR Chemical Shifts in Palladium Complexes.

Project description:In this study, comparative analysis of calculated (GIAO method, DFT level) and experimental 31P NMR shifts for a wide range of model palladium complexes showed that, on the whole, the theory reproduces the experimental data well. The exceptions are the complexes with the P=O phosphorus, for which there is a systematic underestimation of shielding, the value of which depends on the flexibility of the basis sets, especially at the geometry optimization stage. The use of triple-ζ quality basis sets and additional polarization functions at this stage reduces the underestimation of shielding for such phosphorus atoms. To summarize, in practice, for the rapid assessment of 31P NMR shifts, with the exception of the P=O type, a simple PBE0/{6-311G(2d,2p); Pd(SDD)}//PBE0/{6-31+G(d); Pd(SDD)} approximation is quite acceptable (RMSE = 8.9 ppm). Optimal, from the point of view of "price-quality" ratio, is the PBE0/{6-311G(2d,2p); Pd(SDD)}//PBE0/{6-311+G(2d); Pd(SDD)} (RMSE = 8.0 ppm) and the PBE0/{def2-TZVP; Pd(SDD)}//PBE0/{6-311+G(2d); Pd(SDD)} (RMSE = 6.9 ppm) approaches. In all cases, a linear scaling procedure is necessary to minimize systematic errors.

Structure Revision of Formyl Phloroglucinol Meroterpenoids: A Unified Approach Using NMR Fingerprinting and DFT NMR and ECD Analyses.

Project description:NMR fingerprints are valuable tools for analyzing complex natural product mixtures and identifying incorrectly assigned structures in the literature. Our diagnostic NMR fingerprints for formyl phloroglucinol meroterpenoids revealed discrepancies in the structures reported for eucalyprobusal C (1a) and eucalypcamal K (2a). NMR fingerprinting PCA analyses identified 1a as an oxepine-diformyl phloroglucinol and 2a as an oxepine 3-acyl-1-formyl phloroglucinol, contrary to their initial assignments as pyrano-diformyl and pyrano 3-acyl-1-formyl phloroglucinols, respectively. Extensive reinterpretation of their reported one- and two-dimensional NMR data, coupled with GIAO DFT-calculated 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift and DP4+ analyses, supported the unequivocal reassignment of eucalyprobusal C to 1b and eucalypcamal K to 2b. The absolute configurations of the revised oxepine-containing phloroglucinol meroterpenoids were confirmed via the reinterpretation of their reported ROESY and NOESY NMR data, along with comparative TDDFT-calculated and experimental ECD spectra.

Multinuclear NMR Measurements and DFT Calculations for Capecitabine Tautomeric Form Assignment in a Solution.

Project description:The molecular structure of capecitabine (a widely applied prodrug of 5-fluorouracil) was studied by multinuclear NMR measurements and DFT quantum mechanical calculations. One or two tautomeric forms in a solution were detected depending on the solvent used. In the organic solvents, a mixture of two forms of capecitabine was observed: carbamate and imine tautomers. In the aqueous solution, only the carbamate form was found. The methylation of capecitabine yields mainly two products in different proportions: N³-methylcapecitabine and N⁷-methylcapecitabine. The protonation of capecitabine in organic solvents with perchloric acid occurs at the N3 nitrogen atom. DFT calculations strongly support the results coming from the analysis of the NMR spectra.

Exploring Multi-Anion Chemistry in Yttrium Oxyhydrides: Solid-State NMR Studies and DFT Calculations.

Project description:Rare earth oxyhydrides REOxH(3-2x), with RE = Y, Sc, or Gd and a cationic FCC lattice, are reversibly photochromic in nature. It is known that structural details and anion (O2-:H-) composition dictate the efficiency of the photochromic behavior. The mechanism behind the photochromism is, however, not yet understood. In this study, we use 1H, 2H, 17O, and 89Y solid-state NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the various yttrium, hydrogen, and oxygen local environments, anion oxidation states, and hydride ion dynamics. DFT models of YOxH(3-2x) with both anion-ordered and anion-disordered sublattices are constructed for a range of compositions and show a good correlation with the experimental NMR parameters. Two-dimensional 17O-1H and 89Y-1H NMR correlation experiments reveal heterogeneities in the samples, which appear to consist of hydride-rich (x ≈ 0.25) and hydride-poor domains (x ≈ 1) rather than a single composition with homogeneous anion mixing. The compositional variation (as indicated by the different x values in YOxH(3-2x)) is determined by comparing static 1H NMR line widths with calculated 1H-1H dipolar couplings of yttrium oxyhydride models. The 1D 17O MAS spectrum demonstrates the presence of a small percentage of hydroxide (OH-) ions. DFT modeling indicates a reaction between the protons of hydroxides and hydrides to form molecular hydrogen (H+ + H- → H2). 1H MAS NMR indicates the presence of a mobile component that, based on this finding, is attributed to trapped molecular H2 in the lattice.

Mol-ecular and crystal structure, lattice energy and DFT calculations of two 2'-(nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone isomers.

Project description:The two isomers 2'-(4-nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone (systematic name: 2-acetyl-phenyl 4-nitro-benzoate) (I) and 2'-(2-nitro-benzo-yloxy)aceto-phenone (systematic name: 2-acetyl-phenyl 2-nitro-benzoate) (II), both C15H11NO5, with para and ortho positions of the nitro substituent have been crystallized and studied. It is evident that the variation in the position of the nitro group causes a significant difference in the mol-ecular conformations: the dihedral angle between the aromatic fragments in the mol-ecule of I is 84.80?(4)°, while that in the mol-ecule of II is 6.12?(7)°. Diffraction analysis revealed the presence of a small amount of water in the crystal of I. DFT calculations of the mol-ecular energy demonstrate that the ortho substituent causes a higher energy for isomer II, while crystal lattice energy calculations show that the values are almost equal for two isomers.
