Uppsala University Department of Chemistry Organic Chemistry NMR-Spectroscopy NV1 Project Measurements and interpretations of NMR spectra Joan Bertrand Alar Ainla 2005
Compound 1 • We knew formula C5H8O2 • So DBE=2
Recorded spectra (300MHz) • Proton (H) spectrum • Carbon (C) spectrum • COSY • HSQC • HMBC
C spectrum C=O C-O
H spectrum 1.4ppm, integraal 3, doublet Methyl, next to CH
X X COSY Eliminate alternatives High shift, next to O probably
X X COSY Left! COO
Compound 2 • Expected structure (Chinchonidin)
Recorded spectra (300MHz) • Proton (H) spectrum • Carbon (C) spectrum • COSY • HSQC • HMBC • NOESY
HMBC and starting point Aliphatic protons and carbons Aromatic protons Aromatic and olefinic carbons Cross-peak Aromatic proton Aliphatic carbon
HMBC – Next starting point Olefinic carbon connected to aliphatic protons
COSY 2 H-15 and H-13 Many alternatives Isolated. 2 H-15
HSQCC-15, C-13, C/H-12, C/H-16 Two carbon peaks in Vicinity. CH, CH2 peaks Why we dont have any other alternative?
HMBC C-18 and C-17 H-11, H-12 C-17 H-16 and H-10 are closer to C-18
HMBC Looking for a next step Singlet. 3H High shift, similar to –O-Met Missing proton??
CH3 O Structure
NOESY H-8, H-7, H-5 Shift!
HMBC unprotonated carbons C-4, C-4a, C-8a C-8a C-4a, J3 more sensitive C-8a C-4a, J3 more sensitive Thus C-4
Stereochemistry NOESY H-16 pointing downwards H-16 pointing downwards H-18 pointing to H-16 H-17 pointing toward H-13 H-11 pointing upwards
Conclusion • This project was … • A lot of interesting challenge • A lot of mind boggling thoughts • A lot of pleasure when the puzzle became finally solved
