Abstract
The site of deprotonation of several types of amide acids (carboxylic amides and imides, sulfonamides, cyanamide, N-hydroxyurea) has been investigated by quantum chemical calculations and heteronuclear NMR measurements. Relative energies of tautomeric ions deriving from protonation at the various sites were determined both in the gas phase and in water (by the IPCM continuum solvation method). NMR properties (nuclear shielding and electric field gradient) of the involved heteronuclei were calculated and compared with experimental 14N, 17O and 33S chemical shifts and relaxation rates. It is shown that the combination of theoretical and experimental tools allows a reliable prediction of spectral parameters and ultimately of the deprotonation site of polyfunctional acids.
