Intramolecular hydrogen bonds in 1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives. Issue 6 (13th June 2018) - Petrova, M.
Abstract : 1, 4-Dihydropyridine (1, 4-DHP) derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by 1 H, 13 C, 15 N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, secondary proton/deuterium 13 C isotope shifts, variable temperature 1 H NMR experiments and quantum-chemical calculation. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds NH⋯O=C and CH⋯O=C in these compounds were established by NMR and quantum-chemical studies The downfield shift of the NH proton, accompanied by the upfield shift of the 15 N nuclear magnetic resonance signals, the shift to the higher wavenumbers of the NH stretching vibration in the infrared spectra and the increase of the 1 J( 15 N, 1 H) values may indicate the shortening of the N–H bond length upon intramolecular NH⋯O=C hydrogen bond formation.
