AI Article Synopsis

  • β-lactams are a varied group of molecules known for their diverse biological effects.
  • Recent studies showed interesting patterns in J coupling values, leading to an examination of these NMR parameters to distinguish between 3- and 4-monosubstituted β-lactams.
  • Computational chemistry methods were utilized to further analyze the geometric and electronic factors causing the differences in substitution patterns.

Article Abstract

β-lactams are a chemically diverse group of molecules with a wide range of biological activities. Having recently observed curious trends in J coupling values in studies on this structural class, we sought to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of these diagnostic NMR parameters, specifically interrogating J, J, and J, to differentiate 3- and 4-monosubstituted β-lactams. Further investigation using computational chemistry methods was employed to explore the geometric and electronic origins for the observed and calculated differences between the two substitution patterns.
