Complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignment of N-aralkylsulfonamides, N-sulfonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and N-sulfonyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepines. Conformational analysis of N-[((3',4'-dichlorophenyl)methyl)sulfonyl]-3-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepin.

The complete and unambiguous assignment of the 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of 26 N-aralkylsulfonamides, N-sulfonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and N-sulfonylbenz[c]azepines was performed on the basis of APT, DEPT, homonuclear (gs-COSY) and 1H-detected heteronuclear one-bond (gs-HMQC) and long-range (gs-HMBC) correlation experiments. The methylated 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepine derivative 26 adopts a chair conformation as determined by 1H-1H coupling analysis and gamma-gauche effects. This is supported by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
