The structure elucidation of small organic molecules (<1500 Dalton) through 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data analysis is a potentially challenging, combinatorial problem. This publication presents Sherlock, a free and open-source Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation (CASE) software where the user controls the chain of elementary operations through a versatile graphical user interface, including spectral peak picking, addition of automatically or user-defined structure constraints, structure generation, ranking and display of the solutions. A set of forty-five compounds was selected in order to illustrate the new possibilities offered to organic chemists by Sherlock for improving the reliability and traceability of structure elucidation results.
通过一维和二维核磁共振(NMR)数据分析阐明小分子(<1500 道尔顿)的结构是一个具有挑战性的组合问题。本出版物介绍了 Sherlock,这是一款免费的开源计算机辅助结构解析(CASE)软件,用户可以通过灵活的图形用户界面控制基本操作链,包括光谱峰选择、添加自动或用户定义的结构约束、结构生成、对解决方案进行排名和显示。选择了四十五种化合物来说明 Sherlock 为有机化学家提供的新可能性,以提高结构解析结果的可靠性和可追溯性。
