Abstract
Abstract The 1H NMR spectra of the potent anti-hypertensive drug, lofexidine, 1, have been studied in CDCl3 at 60 and 300 MHz. Both the achiral shift reagentr tris (6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionatol-europium(III), 2 and the chiral reagents1 tris[3-(heptafluoropropylhydroxymethylenel-d-camphoratoleuropium(III), 3 and tris[3-(trifluoromethylhydroxymethylenel-d-camphoratoleuropium(III), 4, were employed. Substantial lanthanide induced shifts were observed with 2, 3 or 4, with the largest shifts seen for the methine at the chiral centerr followed by the signal of the NH. Enantiomeric shift differences for the CH3 signal of 1 were seen with 3 OK 4, with 4 inducing larger values of potential analytical utility. Using a non-racemic sample of 1, the (-) enantiomer was shown to have a downfield sense of magnetic nonequivalence for the methyl resonance in the presence of added 4.
