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.
