15N-nmr spectroscopy. 33. Assignments of isotactic and syndiotactic sequences in poly(D,L-amino acids) (original) (raw)

Abstract

L-Phe), were prepared, 40.55-MHz l5N-nmr spectra were measured in various solvents. The signal patterns depend strongly on the nature of the solvent, yet in most cases at least four signals are resolved, representing the four enantiomeric pairs of triads L-L-L (D-D-D), L-D-L (D-L-D), L-L-D (D-D-L), and D-L-L (L-D-D). Numerous copolypeptides of the general structure (A),-B*-(A) , (the asterisk denotes 40-50% 15N enrichment) were synthesized and measured as models for syndiotactic sequences in the spectra of poly(D,L-amino acids). In this way unambiguous assignments for both isotactic and syndiotactic trials were obtained. A spectroscopic rule was established "isotactic sequences absorb downfield of syndiotactic ones." Furthermore, the spectra of various types of stereocopolypeptides such as (L-Leu/L-Val), and (L-Leu/D-Val),, were investigated, including the ternary systems (L-Leu/L-Ala/D-Ala
