It is possible to determine how the chemical shifts were predicted, and the type of structural fragments used to derive the parameters though a Calculation Protocol window which shows a series of points, each representing an individual chemical structure and associated chemical shift that was used to influence the chemical shift prediction. If the prediction was performed on a compound not in the database, then a variety of different structures is shown in the Calculation Protocol and displayed as a histogram plot containing structures which are only fragmentaUy similar to the input structure. The general apphcabUity and success of N NMR prediction will be examined in further detail below. 

A number of other software packages are available to predict NMR spectra. The use of large NMR spectral databases is the most popular approach it utilizes assigned chemical structures. In an advanced approach, parameters such as solvent information can be used to refine the accuracy of the prediction. A typical application works with tables of experimental chemical shifts from experimental NMR spectra. Each shift value is assigned to a specific structural fragment. The query structure is dissected into fragments that are compared with the fragments in the database. For each coincidence, the experimental chemical shift from the database is used to compose the final set of chemical shifts for the...

The nomenclature of penicillins requires special comment. Compound (2) can be named as follows (a) penicillin G (b) benzylpenicillin (note that the term penicillin may refer to the compound class (1), to the structural fragment (3) or, especially in the medical literature, to compound (2) itself) (c) 6/3-phenylacetamidopenicillanic acid (d) 2,2-dimethyl-6/3-phenylacetamidopenam-3a -carboxylic acid (e) (2S,5i ,6i )-3,3-di-methyl-7-oxo-6-(2-phenylacetamido)-4-thia-l-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid and (f) [2S-(2a,5a,6/3)]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-[(phenylacetyl)amino]-4-thia-l-azabicyclo-[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid. The numbered system shown in (2) is the one most commonly used in the penicillin literature and will be used in this chapter note that different number is used when (2) is named according to (e) and (f) above.

The benzene rings A and B derived from the H NMR spectrum can be completed using Table 41.1. The way in which the enol ether is bonded is indicated by the correlation signal of the proton at Sh = 8.48. The structural fragment C results. Incorporating the C atom resonating at 5c = 123.3, which has not been accommodated in ring A or B and which is two bonds Jch) removed from the enol ether proton. 

The similarity matrices are constructed by one in-house program developed inside CHIRBASE using the application development kit of ISIS. They contain the similarity coefficients as expressed by the Tanimoto method. In ISIS, the Tanimoto coefficients are calculated from a set of binary descriptors or molecular keys coding the structural fragments of the molecules.

This reaction can be used in synthesis of medium-sized rings by cleavage of specific bonds. An example of this reaction pattern can be seen in a fragmentation used to construct the ring structure found in the taxane group of diterpenes. 

ACD/Labs have an extensive database which uses this approach. This approach works well except for anisotropic groups. Unlike carbon prediction this can have a massive effect on the chemical shift values and so can give rise to big errors in prediction, even for structural fragments that are well represented in...
