Singlet states with lifetimes that are longer than spin-lattice relaxation times TS > T1 offer unique opportunities for studying very slow dynamic processes in solution-state NMR. A set of novel experiments can achieve broadband excitation of singlet states in pairs of coupled spins. The most elaborate of these experiments, two-dimensional singlet-state exchange spectroscopy (SS-EXSY), is independent of the offsets of the two spins, their relative chemical shifts, and their scalar couplings. The new methods open the way to study very slow chemical exchange or translational diffusion using mixing times taum = Ts >> T1. The lifetimes TS of singlet states of pairs of protons in a partially deuterated saccharide are shown to be longer than the longitudinal proton relaxation times T1 in the same compound by a factor of ca. 37.
A synthesis of the ABC framework of dumsin is described. The optically active intermediate 9b, which is expeditiously assembled from 5-oxobornyl pivalate by the sequential implementation of an oxy-Cope rearrangement and an intramolecular ene reaction, proved to be suitably functionalized for ultimate conversion to 5. The synthesis plan relies on two approaches to this targeted intermediate. In the first, the exocyclic double bond introduced during EtAlCl2-promoted closure of aldehyde 10b is cleaved to leave a carbonyl group that is amenable to hydride reduction and elimination of water. Cleavage of the resulting double bond with ruthenium tetroxide provided the seco ketoacid. The same advanced intermediate was obtained by initially positioning the double bond internal to the five-membered ring in advance of transient ring expansion via diketone formation and intramolecular aldolization. Both of these approaches bypass the complications arising from the substantial steric congestion prevailing in these structural networks. The task of covalently positioning an oxygen atom adjacent to the gem-dimethyl-substituted carbon in 5 was properly realized by oxidative decarboxylation. The stereochemical assignments to many of the intermediates were confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic analysis of 43.
