Ultra‐high resolution band‐selective HSQC for nanomole‐scale identification of chlorine‐substituted 13C in natural products drug discovery

Ultra‐high resolution band‐selective HSQC (bsHSQC) has been employed for detection of 35Cl–37Cl isotope shifted 13C NMR signals for assignment of regioisomerism in bromo‐chloro natural products. Optimum pulse sequence and instrumental parameters for maximization of detection of the isotope shifts were explored. The chlorine isotope shifts (Δδ) were detected within crosspeaks and were shown to vary with hybridization of 13C, substitution of 13C, presence of β‐chloro substituents, and their relative configuration. Deconvolution of Cl‐substituted CH bsHSQC crosspeaks may provide other useful information, including a potentially MS‐independent method for quantitating 37Cl/35C isotopic fractionation during the biosynthesis of halogenated natural products.
