Direct Identification of the Carbon Skeleton of Organic Compounds using Double Quantum Coherence 13C-NMR Spectroscopy. The INADEQUATE Pulse Sequence

NMR spectroscopy plays an important part in the determination of the structures of organic compounds. The parameters of importance here are the chemical shifts of the ¹H and ¹³C nuclei and the spin-spin interactions both between ¹H nuclei and between ¹H and ¹³C nuclei. Couplings between ¹³C nuclei were almost completely neglected until a few years ago, since they were extremely difficult to observe because of the low natural abundance of ¹³C. However, it is these couplings which afford information directly on the carbon-carbon connectivities in the molecule. It is now possible to use a special NMR pulse sequence to make these couplings more readily visible: the result of using this sequence is a ¹³C-NMR spectrum from which the carbon skeleton concerned can be directly read off. Two-dimensional spectra in particular are very easy to evaluate. The pulse sequence involved, which bears the somewhat puzzling name INADEQUATE, produces double-quantum coherences from which the NMR signals of the coupled carbon nuclei can be obtained. In this article the principle of double-quantum coherence is described and a number of examples for the application of the INADEQUATE pulse sequences to problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biosynthesis and natural products chemistry are presented; in addition, the possibility of applying the INADEQUATE method to other nuclei is considered.     

Improved Extraction Method and Chromatographic Separation of Ginsenosides from Ginseng Roots,Leaves and Ginseng Drug Preparations

A new extraction method for ginsenosides from ginseng roots, ginseng leaves and ginseng drug preparations by Sep-Pak C₁₈ cartridges has been studied. Ginsenoside extraction by Sep-Pak cartridges is a rapid, efficient, reproducible method. In addition, the extracts were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The major components of ginseng saponins were effectively separated using an ODS-120T column.     

The Chemical Constituents of the Liverwort Mylia Nuda

Two diterpenoids, (+)-labda-7,14-dien-13-ol and (+)-manoyl oxide, and one bis(bibenzyl) compound, isomarchantin C, were isolated as the major components from the Taiwanese liverwort Mylia nuda. The spectral evidence is discussed in this paper. In addition, several monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were also identified by GC/MS.

High temperature corrosion behaviour of M(Co,Ni)CrAIY-coatings on high temperature materials-microanalytical investigations

In our former investigations, the phenomenon high temperature corrosion (HTC) was described exemplarily on selected materialcoating combinations for blades of stationary gas turbines, mainly in the temperature region of up to 750° C. To answer the question, in which manner higher gas inlet and/or higher material surface temperature would influence the HTC behaviour, a special analytical technique—the integral layer profile analysis—was introduced to ameliorate concentration profile methods. By examining IN 738 LC specimens with CoCrAlY plasma spray coating, stressed by hot gas at 900° C, the limits of this system are shown by explaining the corrosion mechanism; the method is also used for other systems, e.g. U 520 with NiCrAlY coating at 750° C.     

Spectral assignments and anisotropy data of cellulose I(alpha): 13C-NMR chemical shift data of cellulose I(alpha) determined by INADEQUATE and RAI techniques applied to uniformly 13C-labeled bacterial celluloses of different Gluconacetobacter xylinus strains

Solid-state (13)C-NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize native cellulose pellicles from two strains of Gluconacetobacter xylinus (ATCC 53582, ATCC 23769), which had been statically cultivated in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium containing fully (13)C-labeled beta-D-glucose-U-(13)C(6) as the sole source of carbon. For both samples, the (13)C-NMR chemical shifts were completely assigned for each (13)C-labeled site of cellulose I(alpha) with the aid of 2D refocused INADEQUATE NMR. To determine the principal chemical shift tensor components, a pulse sequence based on the recoupling of anisotropy information (RAI) was applied at 10 kHz MAS. The detailed (13)C tensors of cellulose I(alpha) from different bacterial celluloses are thus available now for the first time, and these results have been compared with previously published data of nonenriched material and with theoretical predictions.     

Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts of alkyl-substituted 4-oxo-1,3-dioxolanes and 5-oxo-1,3-oxathiolanes

The 13C NMR chemical shifts for 4-oxo-1,3-dioxolane (1) and its all methyl-substituted derivatives (2-10) as well as for 5-oxo-1,3-oxathiolane (11) and its nine alkyl-substituted derivatives (12-20) are reported. The magnitude and variety of the substituent effects are in accordance with the envelope conformations in which the oxygen or sulfur atom locates at the tip of the envelope as postulated on the basis of earlier data.     

Evaluation of headspace-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for the analysis of benzene in vitamin C drinks; pitfalls of headspace in benzene detection

Recently, there have been reports regarding the presence of benzene in vitamin C drinks. This is caused by sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which can react together to induce benzene formation. While the headspace gas chromatography method is well known for the detection of benzene, there could be pitfalls in the process of benzene extraction. This study was performed to check if benzene could be generated under high-temperature incubation conditions. As a result, the amount of benzene detected by headspace-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HSGC/MS) was affected by temperature changes. As the temperature of the sample vial was increased, newly generated benzene from the headspace also increased, causing false-positive determination of benzene. Although 80 degrees C is generally accepted for the temperature of headspace sample vials, lower temperatures, such as 40 degrees C, minimize the false-positive identification of benzene. Considering that this minimization allows benzene to be quantified at around 5 ppb, this lower temperature should definitely be considered since benzene, which is formed in sodium benzoate, can appear in vitamin C drinks under certain circumstances. The proposed analysis method of benzene in vitamin C drinks by HSGC/MS at 40 degrees C is an accurate and universal method for the monitoring of benzene without false-positive identification.
