More examples of structure determination with computed NMR chemical shifts


Use of computed NMR chemical shifts in structure determination is really growing fast. Presented here are a couple of recent examples.

Nguyen and Tantillo used computed chemical shifts with the DP4 analysis to identify the structure of three terpenes 1-3.1 They optimized the geometries of all of the diastereomers of each compound, along with multiple conformations of each diastereomer, at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) and then computed the chemical shifts at SMD(CHCl3)–mPW1PW91/6-311+G(2d,p). The chemical shifts were Boltzmann weighted including all conformations within 3 kcal mol-1 of the lowest energy structure.

For 1, the DP4 analysis using just the proton shifts predicted a different isomer than using the carbon shifts, but when combined, DP4 predicted the structure, with 98.8% confidence, shown in the scheme above, and in Figure 1. For 2, the combined proton and carbon shift analysis with DP4 indicated a 100% confidence of the structure shown in the scheme and Figure 1. Lastly, for 3, which is more complicated due to the conformations of the 9-member ring, DP4 predicts with 100% confidence the structure shown in the scheme and Figure 1.

Feng, Davis and coworkers have examined a series of anthroquionones from Australian marine sponges.2 The structure of one compound was a choice of two options: 4 or 5. Initial geometries were obtain by molecular mechanics and the low energy isomers were then reoptimized at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). The chemical shifts were computed using PCM/MPW1PW91/6-311+G(2d,p). Application of the DP4 method indicate the structure to be 4 with a 100% confidence level. The lowest energy conformer of 4 is shown in Figure 2.
