O-17 AND H-1-N-15 HETERONUCLEAR MULTIPLE-QUANTUM COHERENCE (H-1-N-15 HMQC) NMR OF LINEAR AMIDES - EVIDENCE OF AN OUT-OF-PLANE (TORSION ANGLE) DEFORMATION OF THE AMIDE BOND AND PYRAMIDICITY AT THE AMIDE NITROGEN
Ip. Gerothanassis et al., O-17 AND H-1-N-15 HETERONUCLEAR MULTIPLE-QUANTUM COHERENCE (H-1-N-15 HMQC) NMR OF LINEAR AMIDES - EVIDENCE OF AN OUT-OF-PLANE (TORSION ANGLE) DEFORMATION OF THE AMIDE BOND AND PYRAMIDICITY AT THE AMIDE NITROGEN, Tetrahedron, 51(34), 1995, pp. 9493-9500
O-17 and H-1-N-15 heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence NMR studies
of linear amides demonstrate the ready occurence of an out-of-plane (
torsion angle) deformation of the amide bond and pyramidicity at the a
mide nitrogen for the sterically hindered trans-isomer of N-tert-butyl
formamide. Solvent accessibility, steric hindrance and, thus, torsion
angle deformation is shown to be strongly solvent dependent.
