Abstract
Overcoming line broadening of labile protons and achieving high-resolution NMR spectra is crucial for the structural and conformational analysis of organic molecules. Recently, Ma et al. (Magn. Reson. Chem. 2024, 62, 198-207) demonstrated the effectiveness of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in sharpening NMR signals for nitrogen-containing compounds which exhibit prototropic tautomerization or conformational isomerism using high molar ratio of [acids]/[solute] ~ 5 to 200. In this commentary, we provide an overview of earlier publications and highlight the extensive applications of TFA in enhancing NMR resolution across a variety of organic functional groups, with the use of very small ratios of [acids]/[solute] ~ 10-3 to 10-2. The prospects for the unequivocal structure analysis using labile protons as the starting point will be analyzed.
期刊介绍:
MRC is devoted to the rapid publication of papers which are concerned with the development of magnetic resonance techniques, or in which the application of such techniques plays a pivotal part. Contributions from scientists working in all areas of NMR, ESR and NQR are invited, and papers describing applications in all branches of chemistry, structural biology and materials chemistry are published.
The journal is of particular interest not only to scientists working in academic research, but also those working in commercial organisations who need to keep up-to-date with the latest practical applications of magnetic resonance techniques.
