In actuality, the techniques we have already covered 1H, 13C, and DEPT are 2-D (frequency vs. intensity) however, by tradition the intensity component is dropped when discussing dimensionality In 2-D techniques, many FIDs (proto-NMR spectra) are taken one after another, with some acquisition variable or pulse sequenced varied by small increments Since each FID is a collection of digitized data points in the first dimension (say 10 points to make a spectrum) if 10 spectra are accumulated with an incremental change in variable, an FT can be performed in the other dimension 1-D FID . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The first perturbation of the system (pulse) is called the preparation of the spin system. The effects of this pulse are allowed to coalesce; this is known as the evolution time, t1 (NOT T1 – the relaxation time) During this time, a mixing event, in which information from one part of the spin system is relayed to other parts, occurs Finally, an acquisition period (t2) as with all 1-D experiments.

H-H COrrelation SpectroscopY (COSY): The pulse sequence for COSY is as follows: A 90o pulse in the x-direction is what we used for 1-D 1H NMR Here, after a variable “mixing” period, a second 90o pulse is performed, followed by acquisition of a spectrum 90x t1 t2 CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. In the COSY experiment a new ‘spectrum’ is acquired at increments of t1 If we stack the array of spectra evolving at t1 increments, notice how we now have a new FID of sorts in the orthogonal coordinate! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. If we carry out a Fourier Transform in this other coordinate, we generate a 2-D spectrum where the CHCl3 peak shows up at 7.27 on both axes. The peak is more a sharp cone in shape FT CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. Now let’s make this more complex; but what occurs now is a simplification! B0 z x y M CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. Let’s pulse a sample with two nuclei that are spin coupled. B0 z x y 90x M CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. The two nuclei are precessing at different w and decaying at different T1 BUT they share a frequency of oscillation of resultant x-component about the z-axis!!! z x y z x y M M CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. So in the 1st dimension, the spectra appear “normal”, but in the second dimension these two nuclei share a oscillation frequency of x-component If we stack the spectra we see that they show an artifact of related spin at the frequency of their coupling partner Rather than view the 3-D map, it is customary to interperet the 2-D spectrum as viewing from overhead CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2D COSY. Also keep in mind that J values have a sign and the vectors they generate have a – and + component, so in reality: f1 f2 CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling How to use 2D COSY. Consider the COSY spectrum of butyl propanoate Remember all resonances share their own variation of x-component in the COSY experiment. The peaks along the diagonal in the COSY spectrum show this relationship and can be ignored. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling How to use 2D COSY. The ‘normal’ 1-D 1H spectrum is placed on the F1 and F2 axes as a reference. This spectrum is obtained separately! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling How to use 2D COSY. To find a pair of coupling partners simply find the cross peak relationships For example the resonance at d 4.05 we can identify by chemical shift as being adjacent to the sp3 oxygen of the ester. We find it is coupled to the resonance at d 1.65 CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling How to use 2D COSY. We now use the d 1.65 resonance to find the next coupling partner We see it is coupled to the adjacent resonance at d 1.4 Likewise the d 1.4 resonance is coupled to the resonance at d 0.95 This resonance only has the d 1.4 as a coupling partner, so the chain ends. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling How to use 2D COSY. Likewise we can deduce the ethyl chain attached to C=O as a separate coupled family The only drawback of the COSY experiment is it cannot ‘see through’ parts of the molecule that have no 1H-1H coupling (2JHH or 3JHH) These include 4o carbons, C=O, 3o amines, -O-, -S-, etc. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling DQFCOSY. Double quantum filtered - an extra pulse is added after the second COSY pulse, and phase cycling converts multiple quantum coherences into observable magnetizations. The resulting 2D spectrum lacks all singlets along the diagonal The experiment has surplanted the COSY-45 in the text CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-1 Proton-Proton Correlation Through J-Coupling DQFCOSY. An important feature of the experiment is that double quantum filtration allows both diagonal and cross peaks to be tuned into pure absorption at the same time. This reduces the size of all diagonal signals and permits cross peaks close to the diagonal to be observed. The only disadvantage of DQF– COSY is a reduction in sensitivity CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HETCOR. The 13C-1H COSY (HETeronuclear CORrelation) experiment correlates 13C with directly attached 1H via 1JCH couplings. Since the frequency domains F1 and F2 are for different nuclei we do not observe diagonal peaks as in 1H-1H COSY During the evolution time the large 1JCH is used for polarization transfer, so only 13C directly bound to 1H are detected CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HETCOR. Note how we can now determine that two protons are on the same carbon: CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HETCOR. The principle disadvantage of HETCOR is total acquisition time. Typically 5-8 times the length of the corresponding 13C experiment. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HSQC/HMQC. One way around the sensitivity problem with HETCOR is to observe the 1H in the 13C-1H system and study 1JHC rather than the non-abundant 13C. The 2D HSQC (Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation) experiment permits to obtain a 2D heteronuclear chemical shift correlation map between directly-bonded 1H and X-heteronuclei (commonly, 13C and 15N). One interesting artifact of the HSQC experiment is the ability to create a low-resolution 1-D 13C spectrum from the 2-D data! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HSQC/HMQC. The data is interpreted like HETCOR; the 13C spectrum on the F1 axis is acquired separately and actually takes longer than the 2D acquisition! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HMBC. The 2D HMBC experiment permits to obtain a 2D heteronuclear chemical shift correlation map between long-range coupled 1H and heteronuclei (commonly, 13C). It is widely used because it is based on 1H-detection, offering high sensitivity when compared with the 13C-detected. In addition, long-range proton-carbon coupling constants can be measured from the resulting spectra.   CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HMBC. The power of this technique is it allows us to “see” through a quarternary carbon center! The drawback is that for small molecules with tight ring or fused-ring systems (like many of the unknowns) everything may be correlated to everything else! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation HMBC. In this example we see ipsenol and each of the ‘5-C domains’ that make up the molecule. For example C-4 is within 3JHC of H-3, H-3’, H-2, OH, H-5 and H-5’ C-7 can be seen to be within 3 bonds of 5/5’ through the 4o center at C-6! CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation TOCSY. TOtal Correlation SpectroscopY ( TOCSY). By spin locking the protons during the second COSY pulse, the chemical shifts of all the protons may be brought essentially into equivalence. The initial pulse and the period occur as usual, but the second pulse locks the magnetization along the y-axis so that all protons have the spin lock frequency. All coupled spins within a spin system then become closely coupled to each other, and magnetization is transferred from one spin to all the other members, even in the absence of J couplings. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation NOESY. The spectrum on the right shows the TOCSY experiment for lysine. TOCSY has particular advantages for large molecules, including enhanced sensitivity and, if desired, the phasing of both diagonal and cross peaks to the absorption mode. The process of identifying resonances within specific amino acid or nucleotide residues is considerably simplified by this procedure. Each residue can be expected to exhibit cross peaks among all its protons and none with protons of other residues. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation NOESY. After the second pulse in COSY the NOE mechanism can modulate the cosine component of the magnetization along the z axis. The frequency of modulation is the frequency of the magnetization transfer partner from dipolar relaxation After a suitable fixed period (tm, the mixing period), during which this modulation is optimized, the cosine component may be moved to the xy plane by a third pulse and may be detected along the y axis during a acquisition period. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation NOESY. Because the frequency of magnetization of some nuclei during moves to another value during t1 and is observed at the new frequency during tm , the 2D representation of this experiment exhibits cross peaks. When the cross peaks derive from magnetization transfer through dipolar relaxation, the 2D experiment is called NOESY (NOE SpectroscopY). The duration of the fixed time tm depends on T1 and the rate of NOE buildup. In the NOESY experiment valuable information can be ascertained about the distance between various protons within a molecule (< 5Å). CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation NOESY. At least three factors complicate the analysis of NOESY spectra. COSY signals may be present from scalar couplings and may interfere with interpretations intended to be based entirely on interproton distances. In small molecules, the NOE builds up slowly and attains a theoretical maximum of only 50% — Because a single proton may be relaxed by several neighboring protons, the maximum is much less than 50%. In addition to its transfer directly from one proton to an adjacent proton, magnetization may be transferred by spin diffusion. In this mechanism, magnetization is transferred through the NOE from one spin to a nearby 2nd spin and then from the 2nd to a 3rd spin that is close to the 2nd spin, but not necessarily to the first one. These multistep transfers can produce NOESY cross peaks between protons that are not close together. CHEM 430 – NMR Spectroscopy

Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation 2-D NMR Spectroscopy 6-2 Proton-Heteronucleus Correlation ROESY. The Rotating frame Overhauser Effect SpectroscopY utlizes spin-locking (like TOCSY) to ameliorate the drawbacks of NOESY for small molecules.
