Use of 13C n.m.r. spectral editing techniques as a possible procedure to follow the fate of deuterium atoms in mechanistic and biosynthetic studies

Abstract

Multipulse techniques have been developed for spectral editing of ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of deuteriated compounds by combining proton polarization transfer methods and deuterium spin-echo techniques; the technique permits the generation of ¹³C n.m.r. subspectra of only those carbons coupled to one, two, or three deuterium nuclei.
