Abstract

A series of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones have been synthesized by crossed-Aldol condensation reaction. These ketones are characterized by their physical constants, IR and NMR data. The IR carbonyl stretching and deformation modes ν (cm−1) of vinyl portion frequencies and 1H and 13C NMR spectral chemical shifts δ (ppm) of ethylenic protons, carbons and carbonyl carbons are correlated with various Hammett sigma constants, field, and resonance and Swain–Lupton parameters by single and multi-regression analysis. From the statistical analysis the effect of substituents on the group frequencies is studied.

1 Introduction

Spectral data of organic compounds are useful for the prediction of their structure, stereo-chemical and physicochemical properties (Thirunarayanan et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2005; Mulliken, 1939). The quantitative structure activity relationship and quantitative property relationship of the organic substrates are studied from the spectral data associated with their molecular equilibration (Thirunarayanan, 2007a, 2008a,b). The vibrational frequencies of carbonyl groups gave two isomeric molecular structures in unsaturated ketones such as s-cis and s-trans conformers. The s-cis carbonyl group absorption frequencies are higher than those of the s-trans carbonyl group. Based on this the structure of molecular equilibration can be predicted in geometrical isomers, keto-enol tautomerism in unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Thirunarayanan, 2007b, 2008b), alkenes, alkynes, styrenes and nitro-styrenes. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides the information about the number of protons present in the molecules and it types either E- or Z in the above said molecules. Based on their coupling constant J in Hz value these types of protons can be identified in the organic molecules. If the molecules possess substituent in the aromatic ring, corresponding absorption frequencies in IR and the chemical shift in NMR vary from ketone to ketone depending upon the type of substituents whether they are electron donating or electron withdrawing in nature. From these data the effect of substituents can be studied on the particular functional group of the molecules by means of regression analysis (Thirunarayanan, 2007b; Thirunarayanan and Ananthakrishna Nadar, 2006a,b; Arul Kumaran et al., 2010). Further these data are employed for the study of transition state reaction mechanism (Dass, 2001), structure activity of biological potentials (Deiva et al., 1998), normal coordinate analysis (Sharma et al., 2002; Krishnakumar and Ramasamy, 2002), theoretical study of long range interactions in the beta sheet structures of oligo peptides (Horvath et al., 2005), enone–dienol tautomerism (Wang et al., 2005), density functional theory (Senthilkumar et al., 2006), rotational barriers in selenomides (Kaur et al., 2006) and gas phase reactivity of alkyl sulfides (Izadyar and Gholami, 2006). The out of plane and in-plane deformation frequencies in fingerprint region are also used for QSAR and QPR study (Vanangamudi and Thirunarayanan, 2006). Generally chalcones possess various multipronged activities, (Thirunarayanan, 2008a; Thirunarayanan et al., 2010) such as anticancer, antimicrobial (Sivakumar et al., 2007; Lahtchev et al., 2008), antioxidant (Weber et al., 2005), anti-aids (Deng et al., 2007), insect antifeedant (Thirunarayanan, 2008a; Thirunarayanan et al., 2010), antimalarial (Dominguez et al., 2005), agrochemicals and drugs (Mirinda et al., 2000; Monostory et al., 2003; Nowakowska, 2007; Majinda et al., 2001; Sitaram Kumar et al., 2007). These potentials are also applied for the study of structure activity relationships (Sung and Ananthakrishna Nadar, 2000). From thorough literature survey there is no report on the effect of substituents-QSAR or QPR study with these compounds, in the past. Therefore, the authors take effort to synthesise some substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones and study the correlation analysis with their IR and NMR data.

2.1

2.1 Synthesis of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones

An appropriate equal molar quantity of 2-hydroxy-1-acetylnaphthalene (0.01 mol), various substituted benzaldehydes (0.01 mol), 0.5 g of sodium hydroxide and 20 ml of ethanol were warmed in a 50 ml corning conical flask and shaken occasionally (Thirunarayanan and Ananthakrishna Nadar, 2002) (Scheme 1). The obtained solid was filtered at the pump, washed with cold water and crystallized from ethanol to afford the respective chalcones as a glittering pale yellow solid. The yield of the product was more than 67%. The synthesized chalcones are characterized by their physical constants, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and Mass spectral data. Analytical and Mass spectral data are presented in Table 1. Infrared spectral data are given in Table 2. The ethylenic protons, carbons and carbonyl carbon chemical shifts of the chalcones are presented in Table 4.

The melting points of chalcones were determined in sigma melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. The IR spectra of all chalcones are recorded using KBr pellets in a Perkin Elmer Japan model Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer. The 1H NMR spectra of all chalcones were recorded in a Bruker 300MHz model Spectrometer at Sastra University, Tanjore.

3 Results and discussion

3.1

3.1 Infrared spectral study

During the vibrations these synthesized chalcones exist as s-cis and s-trans conformers. These conformers are confirmed by the carbonyl group doublets obtained in the range of 1600–1700 cm−1. They are shown in Fig. 1 and the corresponding carbonyl frequencies (cm−1) of the conformers are presented in Table 2. The s-cis conformers absorb at higher vibrational frequencies than s-trans conformers. Generally carbonyl doublets are obtained at lower absorption frequencies for the electron donating substituents in the chalcones whereas the electron withdrawing substituents absorb their doublets at higher frequencies in both the conformers. In this present study also, the same trend was observed. These frequencies are correlated with various Hammett sigma constants and Swain–Lupton’s parameters (Swain and Lupton, 1968) by single and multi linear regression analysis. While seeking Hammett correlation involving group frequencies, the form of the Hammett equation employed is

r = Correlation coefficient; ρ = Slope; I = Intercept; s = Standard deviation; n = Number of substituents.

The s-cis carbonyl frequencies are correlated satisfactorily with Hammett σ and σ+ constants. All correlations produce positive ρ values. This shows that the normal substituent effects operate in all the conformers. The inductive and resonance effects of the substituents fail in correlations. This is due to the inability to transmit the substituent effect on carbonyl group. Also the inductive effect of the substituents dies off considerably. This is illustrated in the resonance-conjugative structure shown in Fig. 1. The substituent effects get reduced, since the substituents are away from three or more carbon bond lengths and this leads to poor correlation. The s-trans carbonyl frequencies are found to fail in correlation with any of the substituent constants. This is due to the same reasons as stated earlier for s-cis conformers. The ability of transmission of substituent effect on carbonyl group is higher in s-cis conformers than in s-trans conformers.

The assigned in-plane and out of plane deformation modes CHip, CHop, CH⚌CHop and C⚌Cop (cm−1) of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are presented in Table 2. The larger value of deformation mode frequency for the system is due to the low mobility of electron between the >C⚌C< and the –CH = CH– frame work.

All the deformation modes substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are correlated with different substituent constants according to John shorter (Thirunarayanan et al., 2011; Shorter, 1973). The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 3.

The correlation of –CH in-plane deformation stretches with σR parameter seems to be good. The correlation with σI and F values is quite bad. This is due to the fact that these values are not capable of predicting the substituent effects on CH in-plane vibrations. The correlations with σ+ values are better. All correlations produce positive ρ values, except σI and F parameters. This shows that normal substituent operates in all systems, excluding some of the substituents like 4-OH, 4-CH3 and 2-OCH3. The failure in correlations due to complete dies off resonance effect of substituent.

The observed –CHop modes of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are given in Table 2. All the deformation modes of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are correlated with different substituent constants according to (Thirunarayanan et al., 2011; Shorter, 1973). The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 3. The correlation of –CH out of plane deformation modes with σ, σ+, σR and F parameters seems to be satisfactory. The correlations with σI and R values are quite bad. This is due to the fact that these values are not capable of predicting the substituent effects on –CH– out of plane vibrations and the resonance effect of substituents completely dies off. This is shown in the conjugative structure in Fig. 1 which the pi-bond character is converted into the sigma character.

The observed CH⚌CH out of plane frequencies in the present study are given in Table 2. All the deformation CH⚌CHop modes of stretching frequencies of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are correlated with different substituent constants according to (Thirunarayanan et al., 2011; Shorter, 1973). The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 3. All correlations fail in this mode of frequencies with Hammett substituent constants and F and R parameters using single regression analysis.

The observed >C⚌C< op frequencies in the present study are given in Table 2. All the frequencies of deformation modes of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are correlated with different substituent constants according to (Thirunarayanan et al., 2011; Shorter, 1973). The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 3. The correlation of >C⚌C< out of plane deformation modes with σI and F parameters seem to be satisfactory excluding selective substituents. If they are included in the regression, they reduce the correlation considerably. The correlation with σ, σ+, σR and R values is quite bad. This is due to the fact that these values are not capable of predicting the substituent effects on >C⚌C< out of plane vibrations and the resonance effect of substituents completely dies off. This is shown in the conjugative structure in Fig. 1 in which the pi-bond character is converted into the sigma character.

Some of the single parameter correlations fail with the infrared COs-cis, CHip, CHop, CH⚌CHop and C⚌Cop with Hammett sigma constants and F and R parameters. While seeking the multi regression analysis of these stretches, satisfactory correlations are obtained with Swain–Lupton and F and R parameters. The correlated multi regression equations are given in 2–13

3.2 1H spectral study

The 1H NMR spectra of nine chalcones under investigation are recorded in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide employing tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal standard. The signals of the ethylenic protons were assigned. They are calculated as AB or AA′ BB′ systems, respectively, (Thirunarayanan et al., 2011; Laturber, 1961; Solcaniova and Toma, 1980; Thirunarayanan, 2008a,b). The chemical shifts of Hα are at higher field than those of Hβ in this series of ketones. The ethylenic protons give an AB pattern and the β-proton doublet in most cases is well separated from the signals of the aromatic protons. The assigned chemical shifts of the ethylenic protons are presented in Table 4.

In nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, the proton chemical shifts δ (ppm) depend on the electronic environment of the nuclei concerned. These shifts can be correlated with reactivity parameters. Thus the Hammett equation may be used in the form as

(14)
Log δ = Log δ 0 + ρ σ where δ0 is the chemical shift in the corresponding parent compound.

The assigned 1H NMR chemical shifts (ppm) of δHα and δHβ of substituted styryl 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are presented in Table 4. These chemical shifts are correlated with Hammett substituent constants and F and R parameters. The results of statistical analysis of these chemical shifts (ppm) are shown in Table 5. Hammett substituent constants, F and R parameters fail correlations with δHα and δHβ chemical shifts. Hammet σ+, σR and F and R parameter correlations gave positive ρ values. This shows that the normal substituent effects operated in all ketones. The remaining Hammett constants produce negative ρ values. These constants reverse the substituent effects in overall correlations on both the chemical shifts. This is due to the incapability of predicting the substituent effects on the vinyl protons by the substituents along with the Hydrogen bonding on carbonyl carbon in the conjugative structure in Fig. 1. The degree of transmission of substituent effects on δHα is higher than δHβ chemical shifts.

3.3 13C NMR spectral study

The assigned carbonyl carbon chemical shifts (ppm) of δCO, δCα and δCβ of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are presented in Table 4 and these chemical shifts are correlated with Hammett sigma constants and F and R parameters. The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 5. From the table Hammett σ constants, F and R parameters correlated satisfactorily alongwith positive ρ values excluding 2-Cl substituent. This shows the normal substituent effects in all ketones. Inductive effects of the substituent produced negative ρ value and it leads to reversal substituent effect.

The assigned vinyl carbon Cα and Cβ chemical shifts (ppm) of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones ketones are correlated with Hammett sigma constants and F and R parameters. The results of statistical analysis are shown in Table 5. The Cα chemical shifts correlated with Hammett σ, σ+ constants and R parameters the ρ values are found to be positive. This shows that the normal substituent effects operate in all ketones.The Inductive, resonance and Field effects of the substituents fail in correlation. The resonanace parameters produce negative ρ values. This is due to the reason stated earlier along with the conjugated structure in Fig. 1.

The Cβ chemical shifts (ppm) of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl ketones are correlated with Hammett sigma constants and F and R parameters along with negative ρ values excluding 2-Cl and 3-NO2 substituents. This shows that the reversal substituent effects operate in all ketones. The degree of transmission of substituent effects on Cβ is more than Cα carbons.

Single parameter correlations fail with the 13C NMR of δCα and δCβ chemical shifts (ppm) with Hammett sigma constants and F and R parameters. While seeking the multi regression analysis of these frequencies, satisfactory correlations are obtained with Swain–Lupton and F and R parameters. The correlated multi regression equations are given in 19–24.
