HSQMBC correlation

Other strategies that show great promise in reducing NMR acquisition time utilise methods to obtain multiple sets of data from one experiment through a concept known as time-shared evolution. An example of this process that should find utility in natural products elucidation was demonstrated by a pulse sequence called CN-HMBC.93 Traditionally, a separate 13C-HMBC and 15N-HMBC were acquired independently. However, the CN-HMBC allows both 13C- and 15N-HMBC spectra to be obtained simultaneously. By acquiring both data sets simultaneously, an effective 50% time reduction can be achieved.93 This approach has also been demonstrated for a sensitivity-enhanced 2D HSQC-TOCSY (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation total correlation spectroscopy) and HSQMBC (heteronuclear single quantum... 

More recently, a gradient-enhanced heteronuclear single quantum multiple bond correlation (HSQMBC) experiment and its variants34,47,60-62 have been proposed for the measurement of heteronuclear coupling... 

Now a simple, general and pratical method is available for direct measurement of V(ch) coupling constants [73]. ID and 2D heteronuclear single quantum multiple bond correlation (HSQMBC) experiments are easily performed in a routine manner. These experiments are based on the evolution of heteronuclear single quantum coherence (SQC) in...

HMBC and HSQMBC are traditionally used to trace out long-range proton-carbon correlations. Most of the observed cross-peaks correspond... 

It has been reported that the 2-Hz optimized LR-HSQMBC experiment acquired a provided a major number of very long-range correlations than analogs HMBC and D-HMBC experiments. These data could be obtained in 2-3 h from a 4.9 mg sample of strychnine (10.5 pmol) dissolved in 40 pL of CDCI3 in a 600-MHz spectrometer equipped with a 1.7-mm MicroCryoProbe. Data were also compared with an equivalent dual optimization inverted J(CC) 1, -ADEQUATE spectrum acquired in about 24 h [171]. In comparison, 29 of the ADEQUATE correlations were missing in the LR-HSQMBC data (23.6%), but additional 62 new correlations (50.4%) not observed in the inverted J CC) 1,k-ADEQUATE data were visualized in the LR-HSQMBC experiment. While drawing comparisons, the sole negative attribute of the LR-HSQMBC experiment relative to dual optimization inverted J(CC) 1, -ADEQUATE is that the former does not allow the unequivocal differentiation of J(CC) from J(CC) CJ CH) vs. 7(CH) where > 3) afforded by the latter experiment [172-175]. 

The recently reported LR-HSQMBC experiment has been optimized for H—long-range heteronuclear couplings [176]. Several previously unreported four-bond correlations, consistent with the predicted by DFT calculations (0.2—0.3 Hz "J/(NH) couplings), have been observed for strychnine using 2 Hz optimization of the LR-HSQMBC experiment.
