The use of 13C N.M.R. for the identification of the site of cross- linking of amino acids by formaldehyde has been evaluated by use of model compounds, such as 2,4-dimethylphenol for tyrosine. The 13C chemical shifts of the formaldehyde-derived methylene carbons occur within the range 50-60 p.p.m. downfield from Me4Si. Estimated shifts in lysine-lysine and tyrosine-glutamine cross-linked systems fall just outside this region. The 13C spectra of a number of related phenols, amines and protected amino acids are also reported.

From quantum chemical and experimental NMR data, a 3D graph neural network, CASCADE, has been developed to predict carbon and proton chemical shifts. Stereoisomers and conformers of organic molecules can be correctly distinguished.

For decades, high-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy has been routinely utilized to analyze both naturally occurring steroid hormones and synthetic steroids, which play important roles in regulating physiological functions in humans. Because the 1H signals are inevitably superimposed and entangled with various JH–H splitting patterns, such that the individual 1H chemical shift and associated JH–H coupling identities are hardly resolved. Given this, applications of thess information for elucidating steroidal molecular structures and steroid/ligand interactions at the atomic level were largely restricted. To overcome, we devoted to unraveling the entangled JH–H splitting patterns of two similar steroidal compounds having fully unsaturated protons, i.e., androstanolone and epiandrosterone (denoted as 1 and 2, respectively), in which only hydroxyl and ketone substituents attached to C3 and C17 were interchanged. Here we demonstrated that the JH–H values deduced from 1 and 2 are universal and applicable to other steroids, such as testosterone, 3β, 21-dihydroxygregna-5-en-20-one, prednisolone, and estradiol. On the other hand, the 1H chemical shifts may deviate substantially from sample to sample. In this communication, we propose a simple but novel scheme for resolving the complicate JH–H splitting patterns and 1H chemical shifts, aiming for steroidal structure determinations.
