Abstract

The structure elucidation of small organic molecules (<1500 Dalton) through 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data analysis is a potentially challenging, combinatorial problem. This publication presents Sherlock, a free and open-source Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation (CASE) software where the user controls the chain of elementary operations through a versatile graphical user interface, including spectral peak picking, addition of automatically or user-defined structure constraints, structure generation, ranking and display of the solutions. A set of forty-five compounds was selected in order to illustrate the new possibilities offered to organic chemists by Sherlock for improving the reliability and traceability of structure elucidation results.
