An experimental and theoretical NMR study of NH-benzimidazoles in solution and in the solid state: proton transfer and tautomerism
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR experimental study of five benzimidazoles in solution and in the solid state ((13)C and (15)N CPMAS NMR) as well as the theoretically calculated (GIAO/DFT) chemical shifts. We have assigned unambiguously the "tautomeric positions" (C3a/C7a, C4/C7 and C5/C6) of NH-benzimidazoles that, in some solvents and in the solid state, appear different (blocked tautomerism). In the case of 1H-benzimidazole itself we have measured the prototropic rate in HMPA-d 18.

NMR studies of the tautomerism of cyclo-tris(4-R-2,6-pyridylformamidine) in solution and in the solid state.
Two novel cyclo-tris(4-R-2,6-pyridylformamidine)s (R = H, CH(3)) have been studied by solution- and solid-state NMR. Both compounds show fast exchange of NH protons in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature. The E-syn configuration of the formamidine group with the NH protons in the outer ring position could be proved by low-temperature (1)H NMR experiments. The influence of deuteration of the ...

Proton transfer (PT) and methyl group transfer (MGT) occurring in small biomimetic systems, Formamide-Formamidic acid (FA-FI), and N-formyl-N-methylformamide-(E)-methyl N-formylformimidate (NMFA-NMFI) are investigated in the gas phase and in single-walled carbon nanotubes by using the density functional theory and the ONIOM approach. It is shown that PT reaction is disfavoured in single-walled ...
