Practical Measurements Strategy of Anisotropic RDC Data for Stereochemical Characterization of Molecules
Presented here is the practical measurement of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) from J-resolved and J-scaled BIRD HSQCs using isotropic (DMSO-d6) and anisotropic media (poly-HEMA gel in DMSO-d6 in a compression device). The study applies the computer-assisted structure elucidation (CASE-3D) protocol implemented in Mestrenova software and tested against MMFF94 conformer structures and DFT chemical shift shielding for the diastereisomers of a natural product, artemisinin. Input files were created as combination of 13C chemical shifts and RDCs values to ensure satisfactory discrimination against the second ranked diastereomer.
