DEPT Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization

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. 

Multidimensional spectraas well as techniques including DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer), COSY (correlated spectroscopy), and ROESY (rotating-frame overhauser enhancement spectroscopy) have been increasingly used. 

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

Olive oil samples coming from 13 PDO Italian areas of production were analyzed by 13C NMR DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer), a particular pulse sequence used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of13 C spectra (Vlahov et al., 2001). Olive oils were dissolved...

An alternative pulse sequence that provides the same multiplicities as INEPT but with intensity ratios that follow the binomial theorem is DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer).The pulse sequence, depicted in Fig. 12.3a, can be used, like refocused INEPT, for sensitivity enhancement but is usually employed as an editing technique. The three evolution periods T are chosen to approximate 1/2/, but the length of the pulse labeled 0 can be varied. As we show in the following, CH has maximum intensity at 0 = 90° CH2 has zero... 

The structural connectivity derived from examination of the 111, 13C/DEPT, DQF-COSY, HMQC, and HMBC data (DEPT = distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer DQF = double quantum filtering COSY = correlation spectroscopy HMQC = heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation HMBC = heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) resulted in global reevaluation of sclerophytin B structure and demonstrated that this compound and the related alcohol are not composed of two ether bridges as in the originally formulated structure 37, but share the structural features depicted as 38 <20000L1879>. Comparison of 13C and 111 NMR data of Norte s... 

NMR spectra. Chloroform was used as an internal standard for and C NMR spectra. All chemical shifts reported were externally referenced to tetramethylsilane (TMS). A DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer) pulse sequence was used to obtain Si NMR spectra (6). 

One-dimensional subspectra also may be obtained by combining selective excitation and broadband homonuclear Hartmann mixing with het-eronuclear polarization-transfer steps like INEPT, DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer), or heteronuclear Hartmann-Hahn transfer (Doss, 1992 Gardner and Coleman, 1994 Willker et al., 1994). Related experiments with multiple-step selective Hartmann-Hahn mixing in combination with heteronuclear coherence transfer were used by Kupce and Freeman (1993a). 

More modem one-dimensional (ID) sequences such as INEPT (Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer) or DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer) [6,13-15] have not been used extensively [16]. This type of experiment seems to be more powerful than the old INDOR technique. 

A number of papers have looked at the development of relationships between base stock composition as measured by NMR and either physi-cal/chemical properties or their performance.22 27 Most of this work has been focused on group II and III base stocks, with less or little attention paid to solvent extracted ones. These have all relied on various techniques to simplify the spectra and the assignments of peaks and make peak integration more reliable. These have many acronyms,23 for example, GASPE (gates spin echo), PCSE (proton coupled spin echo), INEPT (insensitive nuclei enhancement by polarization transfer), DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization), QUAT (quaternary-only carbon spectra), 2D COSY (two-dimensional homo-nuclear spectroscopy), and HETCOR (heteronuclear shift correlated spectroscopy)]. Table 4.10 provides an example of some of the chemical shift data generated26 and employed in this type of work, and Adhvaryu et al.25 were able to develop the correlations between base stock properties and carbon types in Table 4.11, whose main features correspond to intuition (e.g., the values of API and aniline points are both decreased by aromatic carbon and increased by the...
