Article Abstract

1,n-ADEQUATE is a powerful NMR technique for elucidating the structure of proton-deficient small molecules that can help establish the carbon skeleton of a given molecule by providing long-range three-bond C─ C correlations. Care must be taken when using the experiment to identify the simultaneous presence of one-bond C─ C correlations that are not filtered out, unlike the HMBC experiment that has a low-pass J-filter to filter J responses out. Dual-optimized, inverted J 1,n-ADEQUATE is an improved variant of the experiment that affords broadband inversion of direct responses, obviating the need to take additional steps to identify these correlations. Even though ADEQUATE experiments can now be acquired in a reasonable amount of experimental time if a cryogenic probe is available, low sensitivity is still the main impediment limiting the application of this elegant experiment. Here, we wish to report a further refinement that incorporates real-time bilinear rotation decoupling-based homodecoupling methodology into the dual-optimized, inverted J 1,n-ADEQUATE pulse sequence. Improved sensitivity and resolution are achieved by collapsing homonuclear proton-proton couplings from the observed multiplets for most spin systems. The application of the method is illustrated with several model compounds.

The recently reported F-detected dual-optimized inverted J 1,n-ADEQUATE experiment and the previously reported H-detected version have been modified to incorporate J-modulation, making it feasible to acquire all 1,1- and 1,n-ADEQUATE correlations as well as J and J homonuclear scalar couplings in a single experiment. The experiments are demonstrated using N,N-dimethylamino-2,5,6-trifluoro-3,4-phthalonitrile and N,N-dimethylamino-3,4-phthalonitrile.

Modification of the recently reported F-detected 1,1-ADEQUATE experiment that incorporates dual-optimization to selectively invert a wide range of J correlations in a 1,n-ADEQUATE experiment is reported. Parameters for the dual-optimization segment of the pulse sequence were modified to accommodate the increased size of J homonuclear coupling constants of poly- and perfluorinated molecules relative to protonated molecules to allow broadband inversion of the J correlations. The observation and utility of isotope shifts are reported for the first time for 1,1- and 1,n-ADEQUATE correlations.

Establishing the carbon skeleton of a molecule greatly facilitates the process of structure elucidation, both manual and computer-assisted. Recent advances in the family of ADEQUATE experiments demonstrated their potential in this regard. 1,1-ADEQUATE, which provides direct (13)C-(13)C correlation via (1)J(CC), and 1,n-ADEQUATE, which typically yields (3)J(CC) and (1)J(CC) correlations, are more sensitive and more widely applicable experiments than INADEQUATE and PANACEA.
