Abstract
The recent development of a double quantum coherence method for the observation of /sup 13/C-/sup 13/C scalar coupling constants without the need for isotopic labeling provides an alternative approach to the hydrocarbon chain conformation problem. The method is particularly suitable for this application since one-, two-, and three-bond carbon-carbon coupling constant values in hydrocarbons are typically of significantly different magnitudes, and observation of coupling constants of selected magnitude may be enhanced by the appropriate choice of pulse intervals. Consequently, J/sub CC/ values, which are dependent on the subtended dihedral angle, can be selectively observed. In order to evaluate the potential of this approach, studies on a 90% octanol-10% benzene-d/sub 6/ solution, with the latter serving for the deuterium lock were carried out. A representative /sup 13/C double quantum coherence spectrum of the region containing the octanol C-7 resonances with pulse intervals chosen to optimize couplings with magnitude close to 4.0 Hz is illustrated.
