Heteronuclear multiple bond HMBC

Two-dimensional C//correlations such as C//COSY or HC HMQC and HSQC provide the Jqh connectivities, and thereby apply only to those C atoms which are linked to H and not to non-protonated C atoms. Modifications of these techniques, also applicable to quaternary C atoms, are those which are adjusted to the smaller Jqh and Jqh couplings (2-25 Hz, Tables 2.8 and 2.9) Experiments that probe these couplings include the CH COLOC (correlation via long range couplings) with carbon-13 detection (Fig. 2.16) and HC HMBC (heteronuclear multiple bond coherence) with the much more sensitive proton detection (Fig. 2.17)...

Figure 7.14 Pulse sequence for the HMBCS (heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation, selective) experiment, which uses advantageously a 270° Gaussian pulse for exciting the carbonyl resonances. It is also called the semisoft inverse COLOC. (Reprinted from Mag. Reson. Chem. 29, H.

C-NMR, COSY, HMQC (heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence), and HMBC (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation).48 Furthermore, the structure of trimer was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.48 The incorporation of 13C into the indole 3a position proved valuable in these structural determinations and in documenting the ene-imine intermediate. For example, the presence of a trimer was readily determined from its 13C-NMR spectrum (Fig. 7.7). 

To be fair, we must point out that this type of experiment is extremely sensitive to the parameters chosen. Various pulse sequences are available, including the original COLOC (Correlation by means of Long range Coupling) as well as experiments variously referred to as HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation) and HMQC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation). Depending on the parameters chosen, it is often not possible to suppress correlations due to one-bond coupling ...

In order to assign the chemical shifts of the carbon atoms of the conjugated diene system of each CLA isomer, it was necessary to conduct INADEQUATE, HMBC (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) and two-dimensional 1H-13C correlation spectroscopy (COSY) techniques on the carbon signals of the diene system of the ,Z-isomers. The results of these experiments for the CLA isomers are summarized in Table 13.

A Ci-symmetric cis-1 bis-adduct with an additional bridge between the addends was obtained in the reaction between two molecules of ethyl propio-late and C6o in the presence of triphenylphosphane.318 Its structure (( )-162, Figure 1.37) was established with the help of the HMBC- (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) NMR technique and includes stereogenic centers in the addend moiety as well as a noninherently chiral addition pattern. The latter can be related to the head-to-tail connectivity of the two propiolate units. 

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...

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.
