Abstract:
1H and
13C NMR spectra of
d,l- and meso-HM-PAO in different solvents were studied at different resonance frequencies. The
1HNMR spectra of two diastereoisomers are the same in dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone, but different in chloroform. The
13C NMR spectra are different in dimethyl sulfoxide and chloroform. The different
1H and
13C NMR spectra can be used to identify and differentiate these two diastereoisomers. It is also shown that the
d,l-HM-PAO stereoisomeric purity in a mixture of these two isomeric forms can be determined with sufficient accuracy by using
13C peak areas or heights of their C(5) and C(7) in a routine noise decoupling
13C spectrum of the mixture.
