Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Connectivity spectra

A H(detected)- C shift correlation spectrum (common acronym HMQC, for heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, but sometimes also called COSY) is a rapid way to assign peaks from protonated carbons, once the hydrogen peaks are identified. With changes in pulse timings, this can also become the HMBC (heteronuclear multiple bond connectivity) experiment, where the correlations are made via the... 

HMBC ( -Detected Multiple-bond Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence Spectrum) NMR of 26a allowed one to show that the isopropyl group (Ha, Hfc) is connected to the olefmic carbon (Cc), whereas methyl (IF) and methylene (H-C, H- ) groups are bonded to another olefmic carbon (Cd) and fullerene carbon (Ch) through quaternary carbon (Ce) shown in 26a and 26b (Scheme 8). 

A modification of the HMQC referred to as the HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Coherence) experiment can be optimized for transfer through multiple bonds based on the value of the multiple bond couplings, which is typically about 8 Hz for a three-bond coupling. The HMBC spectrum of dutasteride shown in Fig. 9 illustrates the utility of this experiment for assigning quaternary carbons, connecting isolated spin systems (e.g., Hig and Hig) to other spin systems in the molecule, and confirming assignments made from the COSY and HMQC spectra. 

The heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) spectrum, H-NMR chemical shift assignments, and C-NMR data of podophyllo-toxin are shown. Determine the chemical shifts of various carbons and connected protons. The HMQC spectra provide information about the one-bond correlations of protons and attached carbons. These spectra are fairly straightforward to interpret The correlations are made by noting the position of each crossf)eak and identifying the corresponding 8h and 8c values. Based on this technique, interpret the following spectrum.
