Green Chemistry with Benchtop NMR
In this blog, we showcase how benchtop NMR is an accessible and versatile tool for chemists and non-chemists to evaluate greener methods.
Using NMR to observe the restricted rotation in amide bonds
NMR is a great tool for the analysis of molecular properties such as the amide bond, which has a restricted rotation around the C–N bond. In Biochemistry, the amide bond is referred to as the peptide bond. This bond is formed by the union of a carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of another amino acid. Read more.
DEPT: A tool for 13C peak assignments
Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) is a double resonance pulse program that transfers polarization from an excited nucleus to another – most commonly 1H → 13C. This results in a sensitivity enhancement relative to the standard decoupled 1D carbon spectra (13C), which benefits only from the small Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) enhancements.
β-Diketone (Beta-diketone) tautomerization ratio determined via 60 MHz benchtop NMR
Tautomers are constitutional isomers that interconvert into each other by an exchange reaction, most commonly a proton transfer. Such two isomers can for example be a ketone and an enol. Keto-enol tautomerism (KET) becomes possible when there are hydrogen atoms adjacent to a carbonyl group (these hydrogen atoms are called α hydrogens). This tautomerism is depicted in Scheme 1 and is also discussed…

Chirality has a huge impact on the chemistry of a molecule. Due to potentially different physiological effects, pharmaceutical compounds are often used as enantiomerically pure compounds. One enantiomer can act as a healing agent, the other might be toxic to humans. Crazy, right?

Roses are red, violets are blue, hey look this COSY is cool
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I decided to analyze the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of the main aromatic component of roses, carnations, violets, lilies and chrysanthemums, which were b-damascenone, eugenol, b-ionone, linalool and a-pinene, respectively.
