The connectivity, conformation, tautomeric form, and dynamics of a new depsidone (perisalazinic acid) were characterized using one-bond C C NMR scalar couplings ( J ) obtained from the INADEQUATE experiment. Characterization of perisalazinic acid using more conventional NMR techniques is problematic due to the extremely limited number of CH protons present. In the present study, 81 candidate structures were considered and a best fit structure was selected by comparing computed J values for each candidate to 15 experimental values. Of the six flexible moieties in perisalazinic acid, three are adequately represented by a single orientation stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The three remaining groups are present as mixtures of conformers with two sites consisting of a pair of conformations and another disordered over six orientations. This study demonstrates the feasibility of complete three-dimensional structural characterization of an unknown using only theoretical and experimental J values.
使用从 INADEQUATE 实验获得的单键 CC NMR 标量耦合( J ),对一种新的地衣酸(佩利沙林酸)的连接、构象、互变异构形式和动态进行了表征。由于存在的 CH 质子数量极其有限,使用更常规的 NMR 技术对佩利沙林酸进行表征存在问题。在本研究中,考虑了 81 个候选结构,并通过将每个候选结构的计算 J 值与 15 个实验值进行比较,选择了最佳拟合结构。在佩利沙林酸的六个灵活部分中,有三个由单个构象稳定,通过分子内氢键稳定。其余三个部分以构象混合物的形式存在,其中两个位点由一对构象组成,另一个则无序分布在六个方向上。这项研究证明了仅使用理论和实验 J 值即可对未知物进行完整的三维结构表征的可行性。
