Substituent effects on 15N and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 3-phenylisoxazoles: a theoretical and spectroscopic study

Regioselective synthesis of methyl 5-(N-Boc-cycloaminyl)-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylates as new amino acid-like building blocks

A convenient and efficient synthesis of novel achiral and chiral heterocyclic amino acid-like building blocks was developed. Regioisomeric methyl 5-(N-Boc-cycloaminyl)-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylates were prepared by the reaction of β-enamino ketoesters (including azetidine, pyrrolidine or piperidine enamines) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Unambiguous structural assignments were based on chiral HPLC analysis, 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Substituent effect study on experimental ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of (3-(substituted phenyl)-cis-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-4,5-diyl)bis(methylene)diacetate derivatives

Eleven novel (3-(substituted phenyl)-cis-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-4,5-diyl)bis(methylene) diacetate derivatives were synthesized in the present study. These dihydroisoxazole derivatives were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and elemental analyses. Their (13)C NMR spectra were measured in Deuterochloroform (CDCl3). The correlation analysis for the substituent-induced chemical shift (SCS) with Hammett substituent constant (σ), inductive substituent constant (σI), different of resonance substituent constants (σR, σR(o)) and Swain-Lupton substituent parameters (F, R) were performed using SSP (single substituent parameter), and DSP (dual substituent parameter) methods, as well as single and multiple regression analysis. From the result of regression analysis, the effect of substituent on the (13)C NMR chemical shifts was explained.

Characterization of 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines by multinuclear magnetic resonance and density functional theory calculations. Investigation on a case of very remote Hammett correlation

Two series of 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines have been studied by multinuclear magnetic resonance and density functional theory calculations. A full NMR spectroscopic characterization has been performed and excellent remote Hammett correlations (sigma(p) or sigma(p)+) have been found for para substitution in the two aryl rings through at least 11 bonds, notwithstanding the presence in the path of atoms that should act as insulators and a lack of correlation for some of the intermediate atoms. The computational investigation on the electronic delocalization, performed with the ACID (anisotropy of the induced current density) method, reveals indeed that electrons are delocalized in almost the entire molecule despite the presence of the insulators.

Substituent effects on (15)N and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones: a theoretical and spectroscopic study

The synthesis and assignment of (15)N and (13)C NMR signals of the 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one ring in a series of para-substituted 5-phenyl derivatives are reported. DFT calculations of (15)N and (13)C chemical shifts correspond closely to observed values. Substituent effects are interpreted in terms of the Hammett correlation and calculated bond orders.
