Abstract

A series of trans- and cis-allylic diphosphates were synthesized as model compounds of natural rubber and were analysed by NMR techniques. The H-NMR spectra of terminal methylene protons of polyprenols linked to mono- and di-phosphates showed a triplet signal centering around d 4.41-4.44 and d 4.46-4.49 respectively. The coupling constants of 5.0 Hz - 6.0 Hz and 6.0 Hz - 7.0 Hz were observed for trans- and cis-allylic diphosphate groups respectively. In the a-terminal isoprene unit of polyprenols the cis- and trans-allylic C-4 methylene protons resonate at d 4.081 and d 4.150 respectively. The a C-4 methylene carbon of mono- and di-phosphate groups showed a doublet signal around d 61-63 in the I3C-NMR spectrum the chemical shift value of which decreased with increase the chain-length of polyprenols. The 3IP-NMR spectra of mono- and di-phosphate groups showed a signal around d1.5 and d -7 to d -8 respectively independent of chain-length and configuration of the allylic compounds. A long-chain polyprenol from Lactarius volemus composed of about 300 isoprene units was phosphorylated to analyse the effect of chain length.
