Isotope-edited 1D and 2D n.m.r. spectroscopy of 13C-substituted carbohydrates.
Three isotope-edited n.m.r. methods have been applied to selectively 13C-substituted monosaccharides and nucleosides to simplify their spectra and/or measure 1H-1H, 13C-1H, or 13H-13C spin-couplings detected via the labeled site. 1D INADEQUATE spectra allowed the selective detection of the natural-abundance carbons that are spin-coupled to the labeled carbon, and adjustment of the mixing time permitted further discrimination between one-bond and longer-range 13C-13C coupling pathways. Geminal and vicinal 13C-1H coupling constants were determined from the analysis of 1H-1H COSY cross-peaks for those protons coupled to the labeled carbon. Long-range 13C-(HETCOR) and 1H-detected (HMBC) 13C-1H chemical-shift correlation spectra permitted the selective observation of those protons coupled to the labeled site, and JH,H values were measured from data projections. The implications of these methods for structural studies of more complex systems is briefly discussed.
