Notes:
A number of uracil cyclo-nucleosides with known glycosidic bond conformations have been synthesized as model compounds for evaluating the Karplus parameters of vicinal carbon-proton coupling across the glycosidic bond. The magnitudes of 3J(C-2, H-1′) and 3J(C-6, H-1′) were determined from proton-coupled 13C NMR measurements, and both coupling constants showed an approximate Karplus dependence with dihedral angle. Careful analysis of the results on model compounds reveals that the C-2, H-1′ and C-6, H-1′ coupling paths are not equivalent, and so the magnitudes of Karplus parameters have been determined for each coupling path for the Karplus relationship in the form 3J=A cos2 θ + B cos θ + C, i.e. A6 = 6.2, B6 = -2.4 and C6 = 0.1 Hz and A2 = 5.0, B2 = 2.1 and C2 = 0.1 Hz. Comparison is made between proton-carbon coupling magnitudes in nucleoside and peptide coupling paths.
