SYNTHESIS OF SOME SUBSTITUTED NAPHTHALENES VIA BENZYNE AND THEIR 13C-NMR AND 'H-NMR STUDIES

Aprotic diazotization of anthranilic acid with isoamylnitrite or amylnitrite gave benzenediazonium-2- carboxylate. Subsequent thermal decomposition of this diazonium salt (in situ) in 1,2-dichloroethane as a solvent at 85OC and in the presence of 2,5-diethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienonaes a trapping agent gave 1,4-diethyl-2, 3-diphenylnaphthalene in high yield, after loss of carbon monoxid...

13C NMR and cerebral biochemistry.

Supramolecular interactions probed by 13C-13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

We present a robust solid-state NMR approach for the accurate determination of molecular interfaces in insoluble and noncrystalline protein-protein complexes. The method relies on the measurement of intermolecular (13)C-(13)C distances in mixtures of [1-(13)C]glucose- and [2-(13)C]glucose-labeled proteins. We have applied this method to Parkinson's disease-associated α-synuclein fibrils and fou...

A 13C-NMR study of azacryptand complexes.

An azacryptand has been solubilised in aqueous media containing 50% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide. (13)C-NMR has been used to determine how the azacryptand is affected by zinc binding at pH 10. Using (13)C-NMR and (13)C-enriched bicarbonate we have been able to observe the formation of 4 different carbamate derivatives of the azacryptand at pH 10. The azacryptand was shown to solubilise zinc or cad...

Optimization of 13C direct detection NMR methods.

(13)C-detected experiments are still limited by their inherently lower sensitivity, as compared to the equivalent (1)H-detected experiments. Improving the sensitivity of (13)C detection methods remains a significant area of NMR research that may provide better means for studying large macromolecular systems by NMR. In this communication, we show that (13)C-detected experiments are less sensitiv...
