The application of a computer-assisted structure elucidation expert system, CISOC-SES, leading to the unequivocal 1H, 13C and NOE resonance assignment of betulinic acid, a biol. active triterpenoid with complicated NMR resonances, is described. The procedure consists of peak picking that is independent of background information, systematic interpretation of connectivity information from 2D NMR into bond constraints and resonance assignment based on the proposed structure. De novo structure generation based solely on the mol. formula and spectral data is also described. This application demonstrates the potential of efficient and systematic structure elucidation of natural products with modern high-resoln. NMR spectroscopy combined with artificial intelligence.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. This spectroscopy is based on the measurement of absorption of electromagnetic radiations in the radio frequency region from roughly 4 to 900 MHz. Absorption of radio waves in the presence of magnetic field is accompanied by a special type of nuclear transition, and for this reason, such type of spectroscopy is known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field (in the near field) and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal with a frequency characteristic of the magnetic field at the nucleus. This process occurs near resonance, when the oscillation frequency matches the intrinsic frequency of the nuclei, which depends on the strength of the static magnetic field, the chemical environment, and the magnetic properties of the isotope involved; in practical applications with static magnetic fields up to ca.
