Assignments in the Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra of Vitamin B12, Coenzyme B12, and Other Corrinoids: Application of Partially-Relaxed Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

摘要

High-resolution Fourier transform NMR at 15.08 MHz was used to observe the proton-decoupled natural-abundance 13C spectra of aqueous solutions of cobinamide dicyanide (0.067 M), cyanocobalamin (0.024 M), dicyanocobalamin (0.14 M), and coenzyme B12 (0.038 M). Assignments were made with the aid of chemical shift comparisons, off-resonance single-frequency proton decoupling, partially-relaxed Fourier transform spectra, and splittings arising from 13C-31P coupling.
