Detailed Investigation of Fluoromethyl 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-Propyl Ether (Sevoflurane) and its Degradation Products. Part II: Two-Dimensional Fluorine-19 NMR Characterization of Fluoromethyl 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-2-Propenyl Ether

Abstract

One- and two-dimensional 19F NMR spectroscopy has been used to elucidate the molecular structure of a novel compound: fluoromethyl 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-propenyl ether. A detailed investigation has provided a means of understanding the complex nature of the one-dimensional 19F NMR spectrum of this compound. In addition, J values are used to predict the molecular conformation.
