Abstract Scaling factors are reported for use in predicting

19

F NMR chemical shifts for

fluorinated (hetero)aromatic compounds with relatively low levels of theory. Our recommended scaling factors were developed using a curated data set of 52 compounds, with 100 individual 19F shifts spanning a range of 153 ppm. With a maximum deviation of 6.5 ppm between experimental and computed shifts, or 4% of the range tested, these scaling factors allow for the assignment of chemical shifts to specific fluorines in multifluorinated aromatics. The utility of this approach is highlighted by several structural reassignments.

Introduction The incorporation of fluorine atoms in organic molecules (e.g., materials,1 agrochemicals,2-3 pharmaceuticals4) is becoming increasingly common, as a result of the unique electronic and steric properties of fluorine atoms.5-12 Consequently, 19F NMR is applied ever more frequently in structural assignments. Fortunately for chemists working with fluorine, there are many appeals of using

19

F NMR, e.g., the NMR active isotope is 100%

naturally abundant, has a gyromagnetic ratio of about 0.94 times 1H , and is spin ½.13 Nonetheless, 19F spectra can be difficult to interpret, especially when multiple fluorine atoms are present in a molecule. Some of us have been involved in developing methods for regioselective defluorination of polyfluorinated aromatics, methods that produce exactly the sort of compounds subject to assignment difficulties.5-9, 14 Useful resources are available to assist organic chemists in the interpretation of 19F NMR, but it remains challenging to reliably assign all 19F shifts within a multifluorinated molecule.13 Here we endeavor to provide a readily accessible method for reliably predicting 19F shifts of fluorinated aromatic compounds. Predicting

H and

13

C NMR chemical shifts with quantum chemical methods

(especially density functional theory [DFT]) is now commonplace.15-18 Often, linear scaling methods are used with such approaches to remove systematic errors in computations.19-20 In doing so, absolute isotropic shieldings are computed for a “training set” of molecules and compared to experimental chemical shifts. When tight linear correlations between computed and experimental data are found, simple scaling factors (slope and y-intercept for the correlation line, particular to the specific theoretical method used) fall out, and can then be used for predicting chemical shifts for molecules not included in the training set. This approach has been explored previously for 19F chemical shifts, including fluorinated aromatic compounds,21-28 but we provide scaling factors here that work with relatively low level theoretical methods accessible to non-experts. We also demonstrate the applicability of these scaling factors for heterocycles (common in bioactive compounds) and highlight their use in assigning structures of multifluorinated compounds.

Our training set consisted of 52 compounds, with 100 individual 19F shifts spanning a range of 153 ppm (Chart 1). This set contains fluorinated aromatics, many with multiple fluorine atoms in the same molecule, and mono- and bicyclic heteroaromatics. A variety of issues made compiling this data set difficult, including variations in reported shifts across the literature and the use of different reference compounds.27 The compounds in Chart 1 were chosen not just for the variety of environments in which their fluorine atoms reside, but because their 19F shifts were supported by multiple published reports or a single report with sufficient experimental details to make us confident in their validity.27, 29-42

Methods Geometry optimizations were run using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) in the gas phase using

Gaussian09, and resulting structures were confirmed as minima using frequency calculations.43-47,26 These structures were subjected to NMR (GIAO)48-54 calculations at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G levels in the gas phase. B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations were repeated using the SMD implicit solvent model for experimental solvents in NMR calculations.55 Experimental shifts were plotted against calculated isotropic shielding values, and scaling factors were derived according to equation (1): 𝜎"#$%&'(%)*+, = 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 ∗ 𝜃567*&7$'8 + 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡

(1)

These scaling factors were applied to each test compound using equation (2): ?@ABCDBEFG H')*%&8%$* 6,7

%$= 𝜎I8+,%J

(2)

While the compounds in Chart 1 were chosen, in part, for their lack of conformational flexibility, some compounds to which the developed scaling factors were applied were conformationally flexible. For such compounds, conformational searches were run with

Spartan10, and then optimized in Gaussian09 with B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) in the gas phase. 26,5657

Conformers within 3 kcal/mol of the lowest energy conformer were included in the NMR

calculations, with their contributions weighted with a Boltzmann distribution based on their relative free energies.

Results and Discussion Initially, gas phase calculations of isolated molecules were used to establish scaling factors. Using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p), the maximum error on any one 19F shift was 6.5 ppm, with a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 2.1 ppm over a range of 153 ppm

(Figure 1, middle). Performance was similar when NMR calculations were repeated with a larger basis set (B3LYP//6-311+G(2d,p))//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)): maximum error of 6.6 ppm and MAD of 1.7 ppm (Figure 1, right). Use of a smaller basis set (B3LYP/6-31G//B3LYP/631+G(d,p)) resulted in a much higher maximum deviation (28 ppm) and a much higher MAD of 4.0 ppm (Figure 1, left). On the basis of these results, we recommend the B3LYP/6-

Mono-cyclic heteroaromatic compounds (group A, Chart 1) are shown in green, non-heterocyclic compounds (group B) are shown in grey, and bicyclic-heterocyclic compounds (group C) are shown in yellow.

Although the 19F spectra for compounds used in the training set were taken in a variety of solvents, the majority were taken in either CDCl3 or CCl4 (a full list of the solvents is available in the Supporting Information). Although it has been shown that solvent has little effect on 19F shifts, we wanted to confirm this with our data. To test the effect of solvent on our predictions, the gas phase optimized structures were subjected to NMR calculations in continuum solvent (SMD) and new scaling factors were determined (Figure 2). For the 45 19F shifts from our test set that were measured in chloroform, gas phase NMR calculations had a maximum error of 8.2 ppm, while continuum chloroform calculations had a maximum error of 7.2 ppm. The MAD also decreased slightly, from 2.9 to 2.6 ppm. For the 27 shifts determined in carbon tetrachloride, the maximum error decreased from 5.1 to 4.6 ppm, while the MAD

remained the same at 1.5 ppm. Although including solvent in the calculations did provide small improvements in prediction accuracy, gas phase calculations appear to be sufficient, and were used in all test cases.

To put our scaling factors to the test, we applied them to several multifluorinated compounds synthesized in one of our labs (Chart 2). The original assignment of one structure ̶ compound 7̶ was found to be in error on the basis of our predicted 19F shifts. The shifts for the corrected structure (7 revised, Chart 2) are completely consistent with the

After discovering this misassignment, a group of 13 substituted benzene and pyridine compounds with various substitution patterns (Chart 3) were examined to confirm, or correct, the published structures.7, 9, 12 Although many of the spectra match experiment, two of the structures had large errors (Chart 3, red). Based on the correction described above, revised structures were tested and these match the experimental values within the error expected for our scaling factors. These straightforward applications of computational

Conclusion We have developed scaling factors aimed at fast and accurate prediction of 19F shifts for fluoroaromatics. In particular, the methods described here allow for the assignment of challenging structures bearing multiple fluorine atoms. The application of these scaling factors does not require advanced computations and, as a result, we hope that it will be applied broadly.
