1H and 13C chemical shifts and coupling constants of lupane. Application of two-dimensional NMR techniques

2D NMR techniques (J-resolved ¹³C, ¹³C? ¹³C correlated, ¹H? ¹³C correlated) were used to gather more chemical shift and coupling information on the pentacyclic triterpene, lupane. They confirm and complete ¹³C assignments made earlier, and corroborate the constitution and major configurational details of lupane. Lupane is a parent compound and spectral reference in the study of sedimental demethylated triterpenes.
