Table 2. Comparison of dihedral angles (in degrees) between the methine hydrogen atoms on the tetrahydro benzo-ring of N2-[10R-(7S,8R,9S-triacetoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrenyl)]-O6-allyl-2′-deoxyguanosine in the crystal structure with calculated values from its solution NMR spectrum.
Dihedral angle | Crystal | NMR* |
---|---|---|
H7-C7-C8-H8 | 153.0 | 142 |
H8-C8-C9-H9 | 56.9 | 77 |
H9-C9-C10-H10 | 72.7 | 64 |
At 300 MHz (CDCl3); this work.
Calculated by use of the Karplus equation, J = A + B cos ϕ + C cos 2ϕ, with A = 7, B = -1, and C = 5 Hz (32) from the observed coupling constants: J7,8 = 9.0; J8,9 = 2.3; and J9,10 = 3.5 Hz
