Determination of heteronuclear coupling constants from 3D HSQC‐TOCSY experiment with optimized random sampling of evolution time space

Abstract

An application of 3D version of HSQC-TOCSY experiment for the measurement of heteronuclear coupling constants of organic compounds yielding complex spectra is proposed. The approach presented here is based on the optimized random sampling of the evolution time space followed by Multidimensional Fourier Transform (MFT). In this study, we show that the interpretation of omega(3)-(13)C coupled (1)H-(13)C 3D HSQC-TOCSY spectra with E.COSY-type multiplets allows one to evaluate heteronuclear coupling constants of strychnine with high accuracy, whereas the employment of 2D methods is associated with signal overlap and use of conventionally recorded 3D NMR spectra cannot provide accurate results in an overnight experiment.
