title: A novel method for the determination of stereochemistry in six-membered chairlike rings using residual dipolar couplings.
abstract: A novel method for the determination of the relative stereochemistry of six-membered chairlike ring molecules by residual dipolar couplings is presented. C-H residual dipolar couplings were used to investigate the relative stereochemistry of 4,6-O-ethylidene-d-glucopyranose. For this and similar systems it is not necessary to acquire redundant dipolar couplings and to calculate the orientation order tensor. The presented methodology is a paradigmatic leap for the determination of the relative stereochemistry or remote stereochemistry in this kind of fused ring system. Residual dipolar coupling data were collected by 1D and 2D direct-measurement heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC) spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that direct measurement of HMQC was quick and accurate for small molecules at natural abundance.
