DEPT, nuclear magnetic resonance

Generally, the most powerful method for stmctural elucidation of steroids is nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy. There are several classical reviews on the one-dimensional (1-D) proton H-nmr spectroscopy of steroids (267). C-nmr, a technique used to observe individual carbons, is used for stmcture elucidation of steroids. In addition, C-nmr is used for biosynthesis experiments with C-enriched precursors (268). The availability of higher magnetic field instmments coupled with the arrival of 1-D and two-dimensional (2-D) techniques such as DEPT, COSY, NOESY, 2-D J-resolved, HOHAHA, etc, have provided powerful new tools for the stmctural elucidation of complex natural products including steroids (269).

H NMR spectrum The proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectrum of omeprazole were obtained using a Bruker Instrument operating at 300,400, or 500 MHz. Standard Bruker Software was used to execute the recording of DEPT, COSY, and HETCOR spectra. The sample was dissolved DMSO-d6 and all resonance bands were referenced to tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal standard. The H NMR spectra of omeprazole are shown in Figs. 4.9-4.12 and the COSY H NMR is... 

Due to the great complexity of this class of molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) are the tools most widely used to identify cucurbitacins. Both one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques have been employed for the structural elucidation of new compounds 2D NMR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, correlated spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (HETCOR), attached proton test (APT), distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) are common techniques for determining the proton and carbon chemical shifts, constants, connectivity, stereochemistry, and chirality of these compounds [1,38,45-47]. 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Like IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy requires little sample preparation, and provides extremely detailed information on the composition of many resins. The only limitation is that the sample must be soluble in a deuterated solvent (e.g., deuterated chloroform, tetrahydro-furan, dimethylformamide). Commercial pulse Fourier transform NMR spectrometers with superconducting magnets (field strength 4-14 Tesla) allow routine measurement of high-resolution H- and C-NMR spectra. Two-dimensional NMR techniques and other multipulse techniques (e.g., distortionless enhancement of polarization transfer, DEPT) can also be used [10.16]. These methods are employed to analyze complicated structures. C-NMR spectroscopy is particularly suitable for the qualitative analysis of individual resins in binders, quantiative evaluations are more readily obtained by H-NMR spectroscopy. Comprehensive information on NMR measurements and the assignment of the resonance lines are given in the literature, e.g., for branched polyesters [10.17], alkyd resins [10.18], polyacrylates [10.19], polyurethane elastomers [10.20], fatty acids [10.21], cycloaliphatic diisocyanates [10.22], and epoxy resins [10.23].
