Computed NMR spectra predicts the structure of Nobilisitine A

Nobilisitine A was isolated by Evidente and coworkers, who proposed the structure 1.¹ Banwell and co-workers then synthesized the enantiomer of 1, but its NMR did not correspond to that of reported for Nobilisitine A.; the largest differences are 4.7 ppm for the ¹³C NMR and 0.79 ppm for the ¹H NMR.²

1

Lodewyk and Tantillo³ examined seven diastereomers of 1, all of which have a cis fusion between the saturated 5 and six-member rings (rings C and D). Low energy conformations were computed for each of these diasteromers at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). NMR shielding constants were then computed in solvent (using a continuum approach) at mPW1PW91/6-311+G(2d,p). A Boltzmann weighting of the shielding contants was then computed, and these shifts were then scaled as described by Jain, Bally and Rablen⁴ (discussed in this post). The computed NMR shifts for 1 were compared with the experimental values, and the mean deviations for the ¹³C and ¹H svalues is 1.2 and 0.13 ppm, respectively. (The largest outlier is 3.4 ppm for ¹³C and 0.31 for ¹H shifts.) Comparison was then made between the computed shifts of the seven diasteomers and the reported spectrum of Nobilisitine A, and the lowest mean deviations (1.4 ppm for ¹³C and 0.21 ppm for ¹H) is for structure 2. However, the agreement is not substantially better than for a couple of the other diasteomers.

2

They next employed the DP4 analysis developed by Smith and Goodman⁵ for just such a situation – where you have an experimental spectrum and a number of potential diastereomeric structures. (See this post for a discussion of the DP4 method.)The DP4 analysis suggests that 2 is the correct structure with a probability of 99.8%.

Banwell has now synthesized the compound with structure 2 and its NMR matches that of the original natural product.⁶ Thus Nobilisitine A has the structure 2.

1-Adamantyl cation – Predicting its NMR spectra

1-Adamantyl cation – Predicting its NMR spectra

What is required in order to compute very accurate NMR chemical shifts? Harding, Gauss and Schleyer take on the interesting spectrum of 1-adamantyl cation to try to discern the important factors in computing its ¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts.¹

1

To start, the chemical shifts of 1-adamtyl cation were computed at B3LYP/def2-QZVPP and
MP2/qz2p//MP2/cc-pVTZ. The root means square error (compared to experiment) for the carbon chemical shifts is large: 12.76 for B3LYP and 6.69 for MP2. The proton shifts are predicted much more accurately with an RMS error of 0.27 and 0.19 ppm, respectively.

The authors speculate that the underlying cause of the poor prediction is the geometry of the molecule. The structure of 1 was optimized at HF/cc-pVTZ, MP2/cc-pVTZ and CCSD(T)/pVTZ and then the chemical shifts were computed using MP2/tzp with each optimized geometry. The RMS error of the ¹²C chemical shifts are HF/cc-pVTZ: 9.55, MP2/cc-pVTZ: 5.62, and CCSD(T)/pVTZ: 5.06. Similar relationship is seen in the proton chemical shifts. Thus, a better geometry does seem to matter. The CCSD(T)/pVTZ optimized structure of 1 is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. CCSD(T)/pVTZ optimized structure of 1.

Unfortunately, the computed chemical shifts at CCSD(T)/qz2p//CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ are still in error; the RMS is 4.78ppm for the carbon shifts and 0.26ppm for the proton shifts. Including a correction for the zero-point vibrational effects and adjusting to a temperature of 193 K to match the experiment does reduce the error; now the RMS for the carbon shifts is 3.85 ppm, with the maximum error of 6 ppm for C3. The RMS for the proton chemical shifts is 0.21ppm.

The remaining error they attribute to basis set incompleteness in the NMR computation, a low level treatment of the zero-point vibrational effects (which were computed at HF/tz2p), neglect of the solvent, and use of a reference in the experiment that was not dissolved in the same media as the adamantyl cation.

So, to answer our opening question – it appears that a very good geometry and treatment of vibrational effects is critical to accurate NMR shift computation of this intriguing molecule. Let the
computational chemist beware!

Welwitindolinones structure

A quick note here on the use of computed NMR to determine stereochemical structure. The Garg group synthesized two “oxidized welwitindolines”, compounds 1 and 2.¹ The relative stereochemistry at the C3 position (the carbon with the hydroxy group) was unknown.

Low energy gas-phase conformers of both epimers of 1 and 2 were optimized at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). (These computations were done by the Tantillo group.) See Figure 1 for the optimized lowest energy conformers. Using these geometries the NMR chemical shifts were computed at mPW1PW91/6-311+G(d,p) with implicit solvent (chloroform). The chemical shifts were Boltzmann-weighted and scaled according to the prescription (see this post) of Jain, Bally and Rablen.² The computed chemical shifts were then compared against the experimental NMR spectra. For both 1and 2, the ¹³C NMR shifts could not readily distinguish the two epimers. However, the computed ¹H chemical shifts for the S epimer of each compound was significantly in better agreement with the experimental values; the mean average deviation for the S epimer of 2 is 0.08 ppm but 0.36ppm for the R epimer. As a check of these results, DP4 analysis³ (see this post) of 2 indicated a 100% probability for the S epimer using only the proton chemical shifts or with the combination of proton and carbon data.

The peaks I have are:

2.30ppm (I this is a singlet and would be F)
7.07ppm (I think this is E)
7.29ppm (I think this is D)
7.53ppm (I think this is C)
8.05ppm (I think this is B)
11.44ppm (this is a singlet and would be A)


For B,C,D,E I need to say what kind of splitting pattern there would be and how many coupling constants are present and there approximate value. I think I know the assignments of them but I don't know the splitting pattern or coupling constants.

Would E and B be doublet of doublets because they couple with D and C so they would have ortho and meta coupling?

Would D and C be coupling with each other and B and E so would they be doublet of doublets of doublets, with two ortho and one meta coupling?

CAS NO. 50-78-2, Acetylsalicylic acid C-NMR spectral analysis H, H-COSY spectrum In H, H-COSY spectrum are on both axes, the 1 H chemical shifts plotted; In principle, both the axes 1 to see H-NMR spectra. Thus, there is a symmetric to the diagonal diagram. 1 H-NMR spectrum of acetylsalicylic acid Fig.2 H, H-COSY spectrum of acetylsalicylic acid In the spectrum, only the range from 7.0 to 8.2 ppm is applied, because only here HH scalar couplings can be expected. Fig.3 There are two types of signals: Diagonal signals: join the coordinates δ a δ a (in core A), δ b δ b (in core B) ... on, but play no role in the evaluation of the couplings between different cores, since it is only the signal of a nucleus is. The diagonal with all its signals corresponding to the 1D H-NMR spectrum. EXAMPLE Acetylsalicylic acid 7.13 ppm / 7.13 ppm = δ 2 δ 2 (H atom 2) 7.34 ppm / 7.34 ppm = δ 4 δ 4 (H atom 4) 7.61 ppm / 7.61 ppm = δ 3 δ 3 (H atom 3) 8.11 ppm / 8.11 ppm = δ 5 δ 5 (H atom 5) Cross signals: These signals are based on the scalar spin-spin coupling and are suitable for the evaluation of spectra of enormous importance. EXAMPLE Acetylsalicylic acid 7.13 ppm / 7.61 ppm (δ 2 δ 3 ), and 7.61 ppm / 7.13 ppm (δ 3 δ 2 ) - vicinal coupling between the H-atoms 2 and 3 7.34 ppm / 7.61 ppm (δ 4 δ 3 ) and 7.61 ppm / 7.34 ppm (δ 3 δ 4 ) - vicinal coupling between the H-atoms 4 and 3 7.34 ppm / 8.11 ppm (δ 4 δ 5 ) and 8.11 ppm / 7.34 ppm (δ 5 δ 4 ) - vicinal coupling between the H-atoms 4 and 5 In general it can be seen in the COSY spectrum each scalar coupling between two nuclei at four signals (two cross and two diagonal peaks) resulting connected a square; in the following example, the vicinal coupling between the H atoms is highlighted 3 and 4. Fig.4 With good resolution of the COSY spectrum, the coupling constants can be determined from the fine structure of the cross and diagonal signals, but this is rarely done because of the 1-D H-NMR spectra is easily possible.
