, p. 21 - 24 (1987)
Using two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, the spatial location of various carboxylate anions relative to the polyene chain of the protonated Schiff base of all-trans-retinal was determined.The observed intermolecular NOE cross-peaks between a proton on the counter ion and a proton near the nitrogen atom indicate the existence of ion-pair formation between the protonated retinal Schiff base and various counter ions in chloroform.The results suggest that the most likely site of the carboxylate group of the counter ion is in the immediate vicinity of the positively charged nitrogen atom of the retinal Schiff base.KEY WORDS Retinal Schiff base Two-dimensional NMR Ion-pair interactions
On the Thermal Behavior of Schiff Bases of Retinal and Its Analogues: 1,2-Dihydropyridine Formation via Six-?-Electron Electrocyclization of 13-Cis Isomers

Reaction of 13-tert-butyl-13-cis-retinal (3a) with n-butylamine affords n-butyl Schiff base 3b, which affords the electrocyclized dihydropyridine (DHP) 7b with a half-life of ca. 11 min at 23 deg C in benzene-d6.The corresponding 11,13-dicis Sc
