Heteronuclear chemical shift-correlation spectroscopy

Heteronuclear chemical shift-correlated spectroscopy, commonly called H-X COSY or HETCOR has, as the name implies, different and F frequencies. The experiment uses polarization transfer from the nuclei to the C or X nuclei which increases the SNR. Additionally, the repetition rate can be set to 1—3 of the rather than the longer C. Using the standard C COSY, the ampHtude of the C signals are modulated by the... 

The most recent developments in 2D NMR of solids are the heteronuclear chemical shift correlation spectroscopy (421), 2D exchange NMR, which enables very slow molecular reorientations to be monitored (422), and heteronuclear. /-resolved 2D NMR (423). 

A more useful type of 2D NMR spectroscopy is shift-correlated spectroscopy (COSY), in which both axes describe the chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei, and the cross-peaks obtained tell us which nuclei are coupled to which other nuclei. The coupled nuclei may be of the same type—e.g., protons coupled to protons, as in homonuclear 2D shift-correlated experiments—or of different types—e.g., protons coupled to C nuclei, as in heteronuclear 2D shift-correlated spectroscopy. Thus, in contrast to /-resolved spectroscopy, in which the nuclei were being modulated (i.e., undergoing... 

LC-NMR plays a central role in the on-line identification of the constituents of crude plant extracts (Wolfender and others 2003). This technique alone, however, will not provide sufficient spectroscopic information for a complete identification of natural products, and other hyphenated methods, such as LC-UV-DAD and LC-MS/MS, are needed for providing complementary information. Added to this, LC-NMR experiments are time-consuming and have to be performed on the LC peak of interest, identified by prescreening with LC-UV-MS. NMR applied to phenolic compounds includes H NMR,13 C NMR, correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear chemical shift correlation NMR (C-H HECTOR), nuclear Overhauser effect in the... 

High resolution MAS techniques of 13C, DEPT, correlated spectroscopy (COSY), total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (HETCOR) were used to examine conventional CBS and efficient TMTD vulcanisation of polybutadiene [37]. In conventional CBS vulcanisation, the major vulcanisate 13C NMR peak occurred at 44.9 ppm and was assigned to a trans allylic structure (-C=C-C-Sx with X=3 or 4). The efficient TMTD vulcanisation yielded as main product a 13C NMR peak at 54.0 ppm and was assigned to a cis allylic vulcanisate (-C=C-C-Sx x=l). While cyclic sulfur by-products were observed in both vulcanisation systems, the CBS formulations gave rise to a higher percentage postulated to be formed via a episulfide intermediate. 

Modern high-field H NMR techniques (correlated spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (HETCOR), nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE), etc.), which generally permit determination of the chemical shifts and coupling constants of all protons (and connectivities between certain groups), have greatly simplified the structural determination of organic natural products (e.g., 231-235). This has certainly been the case in the field of sarpagine alkaloids. 

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].

Recently two-dimensional solid-state heteronuclear chemical shift correlation experiments involving magic angle sample spinning (MASS) have been described. This technique results in an increase in the resolution of solid-state proton spectra by a factor of 5-10. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has hitherto been confined to C-NMR spectra since the residual line widths in the spectra of solid samples are around 2 ppm, so that only four or five nonequivalent protons can be distinguished in the normal proton spectral region of 10-15 ppm. The increase in resolution attained by the 2D solid-state heteronuclear COSY experiment should promote further studies of the H-NMR spectra of solid samples.

Heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy (HETCOR) Shift-correlation spectroscopy in which the chemical shifts of different types of nuclei (e.g., H and C) are correlated through their mutual spin-coupling effects. These correlations may be over one bond or over several bonds. 

Selective hydrolysis can be used to remove the 0-6 protecting group of methyl 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-0-(trimethylsilyl)-a-D-glucopyranoside [403, 404]. Under properly controlled conditions, selective cleavage at one or both of the primary positions of pertrimethyl-silylated a,a-trehalose has been achieved [405]. The simple heteronuclear 1H29Si chemical shift correlated two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy enables the assignment of positions of trimethylsilyl substituents [406]. Interestingly, octakis-0-(tri-methylsilyl)sucrose is a stable, crystalline material which has been even proposed as an internal standard for GLC [407]. 

The fatty acyl substituents were mainly of three types saturated straight-chain C,6-C,9 acids C21-C25 mycosanoic acids and C24-C28 mycolipanolic acids. Analysis of one of the major 2,3-di-O-acyltrehaloses by two-dimensional H-chemical-shift-correlated and H-detected heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation spectroscopy established that the C18 saturated straight-chain acyl group was located at the 0-2 position and that the C24 mycosanoyl substituent was at the 0-3 position of the same nonglycosylated terminus (structure 8). At least six molecular... 

In the case of an unknown chemical, or where resonance overlap occurs, it may be necessary to call upon the full arsenal of NMR methods. To confirm a heteronuclear coupling, the normal H NMR spectrum is compared with 1H 19F and/or XH 31 P NMR spectra. After this, and, in particular, where a strong background is present, the various 2-D NMR spectra are recorded. Homonuclear chemical shift correlation experiments such as COSY and TOCSY (or some of their variants) provide information on coupled protons, even networks of protons (1), while the inverse detected heteronuclear correlation experiments such as HMQC and HMQC/TOCSY provide similar information but only for protons coupling to heteronuclei, for example, the pairs 1H-31P and - C. Although interpretation of these data provides abundant information on the molecular structure, the results obtained with other analytical or spectrometric techniques must be taken into account as well. The various methods of MS and gas chromatography/Fourier transform infrared (GC/FTIR) spectroscopy supply complementary information to fully resolve or confirm the structure. Unambiguous identification of an unknown chemical requires consistent results from all spectrometric techniques employed. 

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...
