INTRODUCTION

Aryl glycosides are commonly found in nature and a number of these compounds

have been shown to demonstrate medicinal properties. Applications of aryl glycosides include their use as chromogenic substrates in enzymology' and as inhibitors of sugar- lectin interactions.* We have been engaged in the studies of fundamental aspects of lectin- carbohydrate binding interactions at the molecular level. For example, it has been shown that p-nitrophenyl-2-N-acetamido-2- deoxy-p-o-glucopyranoside is an inhibitor of haemagglutination of human type A red blood cells and wheat germ (Triticum oulgaris) lectin (WgA).2 To investigate the possible formation of charge-transfer com- plexes by aromatic stacking within the binding site of the WGA, we have synthe- sized a series of 2-N-acetamid0-2-deoxy-p-~- glucopyranosides having a wide range of porn substituents with varying possible electronic contribution^.^,^ We have previously rigor- ously assigned all 'H and I3C chemical shifts for the series of para-substituted aryl 2-N- acetamido-2-deoxy-~-o-glucopyranosides5 1 and 2. In this work, we have examined whether the additive behaviour generally observed for the substituent-induced chemi- cal shifts6.' (SCS) for disubstituted benzenes is also observed for these carbohydrate systems.

EXPERIMENTAL

All compounds were synthesized as described e l ~ e w h e r e . ~ . ~ All NMR measure- ments were conducted at ambient tem- perature (23°C) using a Varian XL-300 spectrometer and a 5 mm ',C, 'H switchable probe. 'H and I3C spectra were measured at concentrations of 6.7 mg ml-' and 5.46 x M, respectively, for all samples. CDCI, was used to dissolve the acetylated glycosides while DMSO-d, was used as the solvent for the glycosides with free hydroxyl groups. The residual solvent resonances were used as chemical shift references for the 'H spectra while the central resonances of the deuterated solvent multiplets were used to reference the I3C spectra.

'H spectra were acquired at a resonance frequency of 299.943 MHz using a 3000 Hz spectral window, exci:ed with a 33" pulse; 16

K data points were acquired prior to Fourier transformation at 32 K points. Proton- decoupled ',C spectra were acquired at 75.43 MHz using a 16502 Hz spectral window, excited with a 38" pulse; 16 K data points were acquired, and zero filling to 64 K points was applied prior to Fourier transformation.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Substituent-induced chemical shift (SCS) values are generally additive for simple para- and meta-substituted benzenes and have been successfully used to predict I3C chemical shifts for a variety of substituted aromatic compounds including phenols and phen- oxides,' methyl benzoates' and benzonitri- les,lo for example. We were curious to evaluate if the additivity theory of substituent effects would also be observed for the title

compounds which have a bulky glycosyl unit and which exhibit different solution proper- ties when the glycosyl unit is acetylated (R = Ac) or non-acetylated (R = H). Thus, by using the aryl 13C chemical shifts for glyco- sides with X = H below as a reference, the SCS values for the glycosyl moiety, in both peracetylated and non-acetylated forms, were determined. With these values, the "C chemical shifts of aromatic carbon centres in a series of para-substituted glycosides were calculated using known''." SCS values for monosubstituted benzenes and compared with observed values. Thus, after comparison with the chemical shift of unsubstituted benzene in CDCI,, the SCS values for I and 2, where X = H, relative to benzene, were evaluated as being Zi,, = 29.1, 28.7, Za,,ho = -12.1, - 11.9, Z,,,, = 1.1, 1.0 and Z,,a = - 6.5, - 5.4 ppm, respectively. Interestingly, the Z(X) values are very similar for both

the ipso site (Fig. 3) is poor, and for the ortho position no correlation is observed. It might be expected that for the ortho position the correlation would be poor since the chemical shift range is very small (ca. 1 ppm) and correlations for ortho positions have long been known to generally fail.13 This argu- ment is not valid, however, for the ips0 posi- tion since a similar distribution in chemical shift range is observed for C,,,, resonances.

For the peracetylated glycosides, the corre- lations for the meta and para substitution sites are also excellent. As before, the ortho position shows no correlation. However, in this case the correlation exhibited for the ipso position is much improved.

CONCLUSION

The SCS values associated with the non- acetylated and peracetylated glycoside rings in para-substituted aryl 2-N-acetamido-2- deoxy-B-o-glucopyranosides were calculated. The additivity theory of SCS for predicting I3C chemical shifts of aromatic carbons is observed for the meta and para positions.

pared with a poor correlation for the same site in the non-acetylated glycosides is not well understood but may be due to confor- mational effects around the glycosidic linkage, solutesolute or solute-solvent association or electronic effects due to changes in electron density within the carbo- hydrate ring between the peracetylated and non-acetylated systems.

The lo3Rh NMR chemical shifts of rho- doximes [Rh(dmgH),(PPh,)X] (1) and organorhodoximes [Rh (dmg H ) ,( L) R] (2, L = PPh,; 3, L = PMe,; 4, L = P(OPh),; 5, L = SMe,; 6, L = py) were measured with a wide range of anionic ligands X, organo groups R and axial ligands L. The chemical shifts 6(lo3Rh) in the halide complexes 1 show the 'normal halogen dependence' (CI > Br > I ) . 6 ( lo3Rh) in 2-6 depends on the axial base L in the order py > SMe, > PPh, > P(OPh), o PMe, and in 2 on the organo group R in the order Et = Me < "Pr < CH,Ph o CH,OMe < CH,Br < CH,CI < 'Pr < Cy < CH=CH, < CH,SiMe, < 'Bu < cis-CH=CHPh =cis-

INTRODUCTION

NMR spectroscopic investigations are an invaluable approach to acquiring a deeper insight into the electronic structure of com- plexes when series of complexes with system- atic variations of ligands are studied and when both the central atom and ligator atoms exhibit nuclear spins t = 1/2, as is the case of rhodoximes [Rh(dmgH),(L)X] and

(dmgH, = dimethylglyoxime, L = PR;, P(OR'), as axial base, X = anionic ligand, R = organo ligand).' The coupling constants 1J(103Rh,3'P) reflect the trans influence of the

anionic ligand X and the organo ligand R.' Here we report on an investigation of losRh chemical shifts and their dependence on L, R and X.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The "'Rh NMR chemical shifts were measured for the compounds [Rh(dmgH),(PPh,)XI (1) and [Rh(dmgH),(L)R] (24) with a wide range of anionic ligands X, organo groups R and axial ligands L (see Scheme 1 and Table 1). The range of Io3Rh chemical shifts spans only about 900 ppm, which is small if we take into account the whole range of '03Rh shifts of about 12000 p p m 3

6(Io3Rh) in the halide complexes la+ (Cl > Br > I) corresponds to the ability to shield rhodium in the order CI < Br < I, reflecting a 'normal halogen dependence' (NHD) for rhodium chemical shifts. The ratio of the difference A(Cl,Br)/

[6('03Rh)x=,, - 6('03Rh)x=i] amounts to 0.36 and is in good agreement with the values for other rhodium compound^.^ Further, the observed '03Rh chemical shifts of la- show

A(CI/I) = [6('03Rh),=,, - 6('03Rh)x=,,] /
