Carbon-13 distortionless enhancement

Techniques developed in recent years make it possible to obtain large amounts of information from l3C NMR spectra. For example, DEPT-NMR, for distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer, allows us to determine the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. 

The most widely used method for determining multiplicities of carbon atoms is DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer). This has generally replaced the classical method of recording off-resonance C spectra with reduced CH couplings from which the multiplicity could be read directly. 

DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer) A onedimensional C-NMR experiment commonly used for spectral editing that allows us to distinguish between CH, CH2, CH, and quaternary carbons. Detectable magnetization The magnetization processing in the x y -plane induces a signal in the receiver coil that is detected. Only single-quantum coherence is directly detectable. 

The first of these tools is the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) pulse sequence. There are a number of versions of this experiment which can be very useful for distinguishing the different types of carbons within a molecule. Of these, we have found the DEPT 135 sequence to be the most useful. In this experiment, the quaternary carbons are edited out of the spectrum altogether. 

DEPT Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer. A useful one-dimensional technique which differentiates methyl and methine carbons from methylene and quaternary carbons. 

Of the multitude of ID 13C NMR experiments that can be performed, the two most common experiments are a simple broadband proton-decoupled 13C reference spectrum, and a distortionless enhancement polarization transfer (DEPT) sequence of experiments [29]. The latter, through addition and subtraction of data subsets, allows the presentation of the data as a series of edited experiments containing only methine, methylene and methyl resonances as separate subspectra. Quaternary carbons are excluded in the DEPT experiment and can only be observed in the 13C reference spectrum or by using another editing sequence such as APT [30]. The individual DEPT subspectra for CH, CH2 and CH3 resonances of santonin (4) are presented in Fig. 10.9. 

The 13C NMR spectrum of 64, an amide of 63, showed sixty-two carbon signals of which partial assignments, shown in Table 16, were made based upon distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer(DEPT), H-13C correlation experiments and literature data describing 13C NMR analysis of polyene macrolides. 

The carbon and DEPT (distortionless enhanced polarization transfer) spectra are shown in Figure 10. The HETCOR (heteronuclear two-dimensional proton-carbon correlation) spectrum is shown in Figure 11. The carbon assignments are listed in Table 5. Long-range HETCOR experiments were used to make the assignments for the thiophene carbons.

The 13C chemical shifts were assigned in more detail for monosulfidic and polysulfidic crosslinks occurring in the accelerated sulfur vulcanisation of NR [18]. The NR was cured with a pure thiuram formulation (TMTD alone) in order to predominantly prepare monosulfidic bridges in the network. The distortionless enhancement by polarisation transfer (DEPT) experiments, in which the carbons with different level of protonation can be distinguished [22-24], were performed for the NR cured with extended levels of sulfur. Based on the DEPT results and previously reported model compound results [20], the chemical shifts of the resonances occurring in the spectra were assigned. 

NMR spectra have been used frequently to elucidate and/or confirm the structures of these heterocycles, but little or no systematic study had been done. A detailed study of l3C NMR spectra by distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), inverse H-I3C coherence transfer experiments (HMQC and HMBC) and by INADEQUATE of factor F0 has been reported <91JBC9622>. The 13C NMR spectra of a series of pyrido[4,3-J]pyrimidines were interpreted on the basis of a detailed study of other analogues <91JCS(P2)1559>. Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy has been used to indicate the site of alkylation of pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazin-4-ones <90CPB3359>.

The H, I3C NMR spectra and the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer data lead to a ligand displaying a time-averaged C4 symmetry in acetonitrile solution. In support of this symmetry only four singlets have been observed for the aromatic carbon... 

Now we are prepared to combine the APT (Section 12.10) and INEPT (Section 12.11.2) experiments into one of the most useful experiments in modem NMR. Like an APT spectrum, a DEPT (distortionless enhancement by population transfer) 13C spectrum is designed to display separate subspectra for CH, CH2, and CH3 carbon signals. And like an INEPT spectrum, signal intensity (i.e., sensitivity) arises by polarization transfer.

HSQC) or heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC). The combined experiments such as 2D HSQC(HMQC)-TOCSY experiments are powerful tools for the assignment of the 13C and 11 resonances belonging to the same sugar residue providing enhanced dispersion of TOCSY correlations in the carbon dimension. More recendy, different carbon multiplicity editing methods, for example, DEPT (distortionless enhanced polarization transfer)-HMQC and E-HSQC, have been developed to reduce the complexity of proton-carbon correlation spectra and to enhance the resolution by narrowing the applied spectral window.11... 

The distortionless enhanced polarization transfer (DEPT) experiment is a carbon selectivity experiment.HO-116 Depending on the pulse length selected, one can selectively observe different types of carbon entities. We recommend setting the DEPT proton pulse length to 135°. In this case, quaternary carbons are suppressed, methylenes are inverted, and methine and methyl carbons...
