The conformational analysis of LTD4 in D2O was carried out based on the analysis of vicinal proton–proton coupling constants, nonselective proton longitudinal relaxation times, and nuclear Overhauser effect data. The H6—C6 to C12 region of the molecule is transoid, the predominant rotamer about C5—C6 is gauche, and two rotamers can be used to describe the rotation about C12—C13. There are three rotamers that can be used to describe the rotation about the C21—C22 bond of cysteine. Finally, chelation between an Yb3+, shift reagents and LTD4 was not observed.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.

The proton–proton and phosphorus–proton nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) of guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) was measured in aqueous solution at different pH values and in the presence of excess LaIII at acid pH. These data and nOe data from the literature for other mononucleotides were used together with vicinal proton–proton coupling constants to investigate the conformations of mononucleotides in aqueous solution, especially their rotational state about the glycosidic bond. Comparison of observed and calculated enhancements using various conformational models for the glycosidic bond gave predominantly anti conformations for 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP and a mixture of syn and anti conformations for 2′-AMP, 2′-GMP, 3′-AMP, and 3′-GMP. Protonation of 5′-GMP at N-7 of the guanine base alters the amplitude of its torsion angle within the anti range. The agreement between the glycosidic nucleotide conformations defined by nOe and by the lanthanide probe method is good but not perfect. As complexation of 5′-GMP with LaIII through the phosphate group has only a small effect on the conformation of its exocyclic group, a comparison of the two methods is justified.

The proton magnetic resonance spectrum of the tetrahydropyranyl ether of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol has been measured in several solvents and at different temperatures. Analysis of the ABX3 pattern produced by the trifluoroethyl group revealed a unique feature. Under all conditions, it was found that the vicinal coupling constants JAX and JBX had different magnitudes. This non-equivalence is interpreted as evidence that the C—HA and C—HB bonds of the trifluoroethyl group differ electronically. A possible relation between this finding and the anomeric effect is discussed. In contrast to the above results, the tetrahydropyranyl ether of ethanol showed equal vicinal proton–proton coupling constants in the ethyl group.
