Abstract
This study presents a straightforward solution to the challenge of elucidating the structures of nitrogen containing compounds undergoing isomerization. When spectral line broadening occurs related to isomerization, be it prototropic tautomerism or bond rotations, this poses a significant obstacle to structural elucidation. By adding acids, we demonstrate a simple approach to overcome this issue and effectively sharpen NMR signals for acid stable prototropic tautomers as well as the conformational isomers containing a morpholine or piperazine ring.
期刊介绍:
MRC is devoted to the rapid publication of papers which are concerned with the development of magnetic resonance techniques, or in which the application of such techniques plays a pivotal part. Contributions from scientists working in all areas of NMR, ESR and NQR are invited, and papers describing applications in all branches of chemistry, structural biology and materials chemistry are published.
The journal is of particular interest not only to scientists working in academic research, but also those working in commercial organisations who need to keep up-to-date with the latest practical applications of magnetic resonance techniques.
