Title: Bifurcated hydrogen-bonding effect on the shielding and coupling constants in trifluoroacetyl pyrroles as studied by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Author: Afonin AV, Ushakov IA, Mikhaleva AI, Trofimov BA. Journal: Magn Reson Chem; 2007 Mar; 45(3):220-30. PubMed ID: 17221917. Abstract: According to the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR spectroscopic data and DFT calculations, bifurcated N--H...N and N--H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond is shown to be present in 2-trifluoroacetyl-5-(2'-pyridyl)-pyrrole. This bifurcated hydrogen bond causes an increase in the absolute size of the (1)J(N,H) coupling constant by about 6 Hz, and the deshielding of the bridge proton by 2 ppm. DFT calculations show that the influence of the N--H...N and N--H...O intramolecular hydrogen bonds on the (1)J(N,H) coupling and proton shielding is almost additive, although the components of the bifurcated hydrogen bond slightly weaken each other. In 2-trifluoroacetyl-5-(2'-pyridyl)-pyrrole, the coupling constants involving the fluorine and the N--H covalent bond nuclei depend dramatically on the spatial position of the pyridine ring. The pyridine ring rotation operates as a quantum switch controlling the spin information transfer between the (19)F and (15)N nuclei, as well as the proton.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
