Two new related methods, 2BOB and H2OBC, for tracking out the backbone of protonated 13 C nuclei are presented. 2BOB extracts an H2BC and an HSQC-type spectrum from one and the same data set, and the combined information of these two spectra tracks out the molecular backbone. The faster method, H2OBC, typically requiring only a few minutes of instrument time, yields a single spectrum with distinct and different phases imposed on the H2BC and one-bond peaks thus obviating the need to separate them in the absence of complicating spectral overlap.

Recording NMR signals of several nuclear species simultaneously by using parallel receivers provides more information from a single measurement and at the same time increases the measurement sensitivity per unit time. Here we present a comprehensive series of the most frequently used NMR experiments modified for simultaneous direct detection of two of the most sensitive NMR nuclei - (1) H and (19) F. We hope that the presented material will stimulate interest in and further development of this technique., (Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

A thorough investigation into the mechanism of the reaction of 3-methylpentanoic acid and Meldrum's acid using online NMR spectroscopy is reported. This study is an expansion of a previous analysis of this chemical transformation in the synthesis of an active pharmaceutical ingredient imagabalin. The 3-methylpentanoic acid analogue reveals similar behavior under the reaction conditions. Online NMR spectroscopy and offline characterization experiments reveal new information about the mechanism, providing conclusive spectroscopic evidence for the previously hypothesized dimer anhydride intermediate species 3-methylpentanoic anhydride as a productive intermediate. The presence of an acyl chloride intermediate species, 3-methylpentanoyl chloride, is also revealed for the first time in this synthesis.

We propose several significant improvements to the PANSY (Parallel NMR SpectroscopY) experiments-PANSY COSY and PANSY-TOCSY. The improved versions of these experiments provide sufficient spectral information for structure elucidation of small organic molecules from just two 2D experiments. The PANSY-TOCSY-Q experiment has been modified to allow for simultaneous acquisition of three different types of NMR spectra-1D C-13 of non-protonated carbon sites, 2D TOCSY and multiplicity edited 2D HETCOR. In addition the J-filtered 2D PANSY-gCOSY experiment records a 2D HH gCOSY spectrum in parallel with a (1) J-filtered HC long-range HETCOR spectrum as well as offers a simplified data processing. In addition to parallel acquisition, further time savings are feasible because of significantly smaller F1 spectral windows as compared to the indirect detection experiments. Use of cryoprobes and multiple receivers can significantly alleviate the sensitivity issues that are usually associated with the so called direct detection experiments. In cases where experiments are sampling limited rather than sensitivity limited further reduction of experiment time is achieved by using Hadamard encoding. In favorable cases the total recording time for the two PANSY experiments can be reduced to just 40 s. The proposed PANSY experiments provide sufficient information to allow the CMCse software package (Bruker) to solve structures of small organic molecules., (Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)
