Abstract

       Several groups of authors have reported studies in the areas of indirect and

unsymmetrical indirect covariance NMR processing methods.       Efforts have recently

focused on the use of unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods to combine

various discrete two-dimensional NMR spectra to afford the equivalent of the much less

sensitive hyphenated 2D NMR experiments, for example GHSQC-COSY and GHSQC–

NOESY. Alternatively, unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods can be

used to combine multiple heteronuclear 2D spectra to afford 13C-15N HSQC-HMBC

correlation spectra. Now we wish to report the use of responses contained in indirect

covariance processed GHSQC spectra as a means for the identification of artifacts in both

indirect covariance and unsymmetrical indirect covariance processed 2D NMR spectra.




                                            2
INTRODUCTION

       The first reported application of indirect covariance processing of heteronuclear

2D NMR data was in the late 2004 report of Zhang and Brüschweiler who applied the

method to a GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum to produce a 13C-13C connectivity plot.1 A

footnote in that 2004 report mentioned the possibility of proton resonance overlap

causing artifacts in the 13C-13C connectivity plot but the authors did not elaborate further

on that observation.    Using several model compounds, in 2005 the present authors

reported the analysis of two types of artifacts in 13C-13C connectivity plots derived from

indirect covariance processing of IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra (Inverted Direct

Response-GHSQC-TOCSY).2 In an effort to eliminate artifact responses, the indirect

covariance processing algorithm was modified to allow two 2D NMR data matrices to be

co-processed. By decomposing an IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum into the

corresponding positively and negatively phased sub-spectra and then processing them

back together using the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm one type

of artifact was eliminated and the other was rendered diagonally asymmetric, thereby

allowing the second type of artifact response to be eliminated by symmetrization of the
13
 C-13C connectivity plot.

       While the elimination of artifacts from 13C-13C connectivity plots is a useful

attribute of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm, a far more useful

capability resides in an investigator’s ability to use the algorithm to co-process discretely

acquired 2D NMR spectra. Examples have included: co-processing 1H-13C GHSQC and

GHMBC spectra to yield the equivalent of an m,n-ADEQUATE spectrum3; co-

processing GHSQC and GCOSY spectra to yield GHSQC-COSY spectra4,5; co-




                                              3
processing GHSQC and NOESY data to produce the equivalent of GHSQC-NOESY

spectra6; and co-processing 1H-13C GHSQC and various 1H-15N long-range correlation

spectra to derive 13C-15N heteronuclear shift correlation spectra.7-9 It should be noted that

the method is not restricted to gradient-based experiments with perhaps the sole

exception of 1H-15N long-range correlation experiments, which cannot be reasonably

performed without resorting to gradients.



EXPERIMENTAL

       All data were acquired for the present study using a Varian 600 MHz NMR

spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm Cold Probe™ operating at an rf coil temperature of

20 K. The sample used for the data acquisition was prepared by dissolving ~1 mg of

naphtho[2’,1’:5,6]naphtho [2’,1’:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinoline (1)10 in ~200 µL

deuterochloroform (CIL), after which the sample was transferred to a 3 mm NMR tube

(Wilmad) using a flexible Teflon needle and a gas-tight syringe (Hamilton). Spectra

acquired included a 1H reference spectrum, a GCOSY spectrum (15 min), a GHSQC

spectrum (75 min) and an 18 msec IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum (6 hr). Experiments

used the standard pulse sequences contained in the vendor-supplied pulse sequence

library and were used without modification. Indirect and unsymmetrical indirect

covariance processing was done using algorithms provided in ACD/Labs SpecManager

v10.02 software. Data matrices were processed to afford identically digitized spectra 2K

x 1K points; spectral widths in F2 and F1 were not identical. Unsymmetrical indirect

covariance processing times were typically a few seconds.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

       While examining the icv-13C-15N HSQC-HMBC (icv =indirect covariance

calculated; the notation HSQC-HMBC defines the heteronuclides involved, 13C in the

case of the HSQC portion of the acronym and 15N for the HMBC portion) spectrum of the

anti-tumor alkaloid vinblastine, an artifact was observed due to the overlap of the H2

methine and 24-O-methyl singlets.11 The former was expected to exhibit a two-bond

correlation to the N1 resonance; the correlation to the 24-O-methyl resonance, six bonds

distant from N1, was clearly an artifact. Titrating the sample with d6-benzene

demonstrated that Aromatic Solvent Induced Shifts (ASIS)12 could remove the

degeneracy and eliminate the artifact response. Perhaps more importantly, it was also

shown that the indirect covariance processed GHSQC spectrum (icv-HSQC hereafter)

showed off-diagonal responses that predicted the location and identity of the O-methyl

artifact response in the 13C-15N icv-HSQC-HMBC spectrum. On that basis we wanted to

explore the possibility of using off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum to

identify artifact responses in icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plots derived by indirect

covariance processing of GHSQC-TOCSY spectra as well as artifact responses in icv-

HSQC-COSY/-TOCSY spectra derived by unsymmetrical indirect covariance co-

processing of gradient or non-gradient HSQC and either COSY or TOCSY spectra.

       As a model compound for the present study, we again elected to employ the

complex polynuclear heteroaromatic, naphtho[2’,1’:5,6]naphtho [2’,1’:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]

quinoline (1).10 The molecule has a congested 1H NMR spectrum at 600 MHz and

multiple proton resonance overlaps that lead to artifact responses in the icv-13C-13C-

COSY correlation plot derived from the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum (see Figure 2




                                             5
for an explanation of the origins of the artifact responses).2 In a similar fashion, artifact

responses are also anticipated in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra of 1 due to proton resonance

overlap.

       The GHSQC spectrum and the result obtained from the indirect covariance

calculation are shown in Figures 1A and B, respectively. As will be noted from the

indirect covariance plot (icv-HSQC), there are pairs of off-diagonal responses observed

due to proton resonance overlap of varying degrees that range from the essentially

complete overlap of the H6 and H15 resonances to partial overlaps that give much

weaker off-diagonal pairs in the icv-HSQC spectrum, as shown in Figure 1C.

legitimate 13C-13C-COSY correlation responses. Off-diagonal responses designated by

solid red and dashed red lines correspond to Type I and Type II artifact responses,

respectively.2 Figure 3 compares the indirect covariance spectrum calculated from the

GHSQC spectrum shown in Panel A with the icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plot

calculated using indirect covariance processing shown in Panel B. Legitimate vicinal

 C-13C-COSY correlations are denoted by solid black lines; Type I artifacts are

designated by solid red lines; Type II artifacts are denoted by dashed black lines. The

solid blue boxes linking Panels A and B identify the origins of the Type I artifact

responses identified from the off-diagonal response in the icv-HSQC spectrum shown in

Panel A. The single dashed blue box identifies the origins of one of the Type II artifact

responses that arise from the overlap of a direct response from one spin system and a

relayed response from a second, overlapped spin system.

        While forecasting and identifying artifact responses in a icv-13C-13C-COSY

correlation plot is interesting, being able to forecast the location of artifact responses in

icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated using unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing

is a much more useful application of the resonance overlap information data derived by

icv-HSQC spectrum. Figure 4 shows the comparison of the unsymmetrical indirect

covariance calculated icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum of 1 with the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY

spectrum recorded with an 18 ms mixing time shown previously in Figures 2A. In

particular, the ability to use unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods to

Figure 2.   A.) The IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum of 1 recorded at 600 MHz with an

            18 msec mixing time. Direct responses are inverted and plotted in red;

            relayed responses have positive intensity and are plotted in black.

            Legitimate, vicinal correlations for the overlapped H6 and H15 protons are

            designated by solid black lines. Type I artifact responses arise between

            pairs of direct or relayed correlation responses and have negative phase in

            the indirect covariance processed spectrum shown in Panel B and are

            designated by solid red lines. Type II artifact responses arise between direct

            and relayed responses of different spin systems and have positive phase in

            the indirect covariance processed spectrum and are designated by dashed red

            lines in Panel B. Type I responses can be assigned by visual inspection;

            Type II responses can be assigned only through analysis of the spectrum.2

            B.) The icv-13C-13C correlation plot derived by the indirect covariance

            processing of the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum shown in Panel A is

            presented in Panel B. Legitimate 13C-13C correlation responses are denoted

            by solid black lines. Type I artifact responses are shown by solid red lines;

            Type II artifact responses are denoted by dashed red lines.2 Additional

            artifact responses are observed when plots are prepared with a deeper

            threshold.

Figure 3.   A.) Indirect covariance spectrum, icv-HSQC, calculated from the GHSQC spectrum of 1. Off-diagonal responses denote

            proton resonance overlaps that can give rise to artifact responses in the icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plot prepared by

            indirect covariance processing of the GHSQC-TOCSY or IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum. Off-diagonal responses in

            panel A are color coded identically to Figure 1B and C. B.) The icv-13C-13C-COSY plot prepared by the indirect

            covariance processing of the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum shown in Figure 2A. Off-diagonal responses designated

            with solid black lines correspond to legitimate 13C-13C-COSY correlations. Off-diagonal responses denoted with solid

            red lines correspond to Type I artifact responses predicted by the icv-HSQC spectrum shown in Panel A. Off-diagonal

            responses designated with dashed red lines correspond to Type II responses. The blue boxes highlight the Type I artifact

            responses, contained in Panel B that are identified by the off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum shown in

            Panel A. The dashed blue box identifies the Type II response origin, which as shown in Figure 2, arise from the overlap

            of a direct response from one spin system and the relayed response from an overlapped, second spin system.

calculate a icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum from the discrete gradient or non-gradient HSQC

and COSY spectra has the potential to provide investigators with considerable time

savings vs. having to acquire the hyphenated 2D data. In addition, this type of post-

acquisition processing also allows investigators access to GHSQC-COSY spectra when

they might have to wait before they again have access to a spectrometer on which to

acquire the data or worse still, when they may no longer have the sample due to

decomposition, consumption for biological or other testing, etc.

       Visual comparison of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculated icv-

HSQC-COSY and acquired IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra shown in Figures 4B and 4A,

respectively, quickly confirms that there are responses present in the icv-HSQC-COSY

spectrum that are not present in the experimental spectrum. There are two possibilities

for the additional responses. First, as expected, proton resonance overlaps confirmed by

the icv-HSQC spectrum (Figures 1B and 3A) are expected to give rise to artifact

responses. Second, there also exists the possibility that the higher relative sensitivity of

the GHSQC and GCOSY experiments, when compared to the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY

experiment, can allow legitimate responses to be observed that are either very weak or

even absent in the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum.

       Analyzing the icv-HSQC spectrum, 13C chemical shift pairs can be determined for

the off-diagonal response pairs. Plotting the GHSQC indirect covariance spectrum beside

the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum, the off-diagonal response pairs of the former correspond

to 13C shifts in the latter at which artifact responses may be observed as shown in Figure

4. Using the overlapped H6 and H15 proton resonances at 8.52 ppm as an example, off-

diagonal responses are observed in Figure 4C for C6 (125.4 ppm) and C15 (129.8 ppm)

            inverted and are plotted in red; TOCSY responses have positive intensity and are plotted in black. A high resolution
            proton spectrum is plotted above Panel A. Connectivities are shown in the less congested region of the spectrum. Direct
            proton/carbon correlation responses are labeled.10 B.) icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum calculated using the unsymmetrical

            above Panel B. C.) icv-HSQC spectrum of 1. A projected 13C spectrum is shown above Panel C. Off-diagonal
            responses correspond to protonated carbons with overlapped protons. The F1 13C shift corresponds to the F1 axis of the
            icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum shown in Panel B. The off-diagonal pair of responses in Panel C denoted with the red bar
            corresponds to the overlapped proton resonances associated with the C6 and C15 resonances at 125.4 and 129.8 ppm,
            respectively. Red arrows from the off-diagonal responses in Panel C to the corresponding F1 chemical shifts in Panel B
            denote the carbons associated with overlapped protons. Correlations at the proton chemical shifts of H14 (7.84 ppm),
            H6/H15 (8.52 ppm), and H5 (9.09 ppm) and the C6 (125.4 ppm) and C15 (129.8 ppm) correspond to artifact correlations.
            These pairs of responses in the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum are designated by vertical red bars. Off-diagonal responses at
            134.4 and 132.4 ppm in Panel C designated by the green bar correspond to another pair of 13C shifts with proton
            resonance overlaps. Green arrows from Panel C to Panel B identify these pairs of artifact responses in a manner
            analogous to that just described from the H6/H15 proton resonances. Artifact correlations in the icv-HSQC-COSY
            spectrum shown in Panel B are identified by red hatched boxes. Open blue boxes designate legitimate correlations that
            are either not observed in the 18 msec IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum shown in Panel A or responses that are below the
            threshold of the spectrum shown in Panel A.




                                                                16
(denoted with red anti-diagonal line). Tracking horizontally from Figure 4C to Figure

4B, pairs of responses at these 13C chemical shifts are observed at the proton shifts of

H14 (7.84 ppm), H6/H15 (8.52 ppm), and H5 (9.09 ppm). The vertical red lines in

Figure 4B denote the pairs of responses identified by the off-diagonal responses in Figure

4C. The responses in red, hatched boxes at 7.84/125.4 and 9.09/129.8 ppm are artifact

responses. The responses at 8.52/125.4 and 8.52/129.8 ppm are both direct responses

from isolated spin systems and hence are not correlated to one another. Off-diagonal

responses at 134.4 and 132.4 ppm in Panel C correlated with a green anti-diagonal line

represent another pair of artifact correlations that are tracked back into Figure 4B. In a

similar fashion, the other off-diagonal correlations shown in Figure 4C could be used to

track artifacts in the highly congested region of the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum in the

region from 7.75-8.1 ppm in F2 and from 134.0-136.5 ppm in F1.

       In addition to the artifact responses already discussed in the icv-HSQC-COSY

spectrum shown in Figure 4B, there are also several additional responses in blue, hatched

boxes. The responses in this group are legitimate correlation responses that are either

below the threshold of the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY contour plot shown in Figure 4A or not

observed at all because of the length of the mixing time used. The ability to observe

“distant” responses in a four-spin system is a function of the mixing time in the case of a

GHSQC-TOCSY experiment or the extent of digitization in the F1 frequency domain in

the case of the GCOSY spectrum used to calculate the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum as

shown in Figure 4B.

CONCLUSIONS

       Subjecting a GHSQC spectrum to indirect covariance processing gives rise to an

auto-correlated icv-HSQC spectrum in which the only off-diagonal responses observed

are due to carbon resonances with overlapped, directly attached protons as shown in

Figure 1. As shown in Figure 3, the off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum

can be used to identify artifact responses in GHSQC-TOCSY and IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY

spectra subjected to indirect covariance processing to derive icv-13C-13C-COSY

correlation plots. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the present report is the

demonstrated ability to use off-diagonal response information from the icv-GHSQC

spectrum to identify artifacts in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated from discretely

acquired GHSQC and GCOSY spectra using the unsymmetrical indirect covariance

processing algorithm.

       Overlapping proton resonances, as initially observed in the late 2004 report of

Zhang and Brüschweiler,1 can give rise to artifact responses in icv-13C-13C-COSY

correlation plots calculated by indirect covariance processing of GHSQC-TOCSY and

IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra. In a similar fashion, proton resonance artifacts can also

lead to artifacts in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated using unsymmetrical indirect

covariance processing as shown in the present study, or in icv-13C-15N HSQC-HMBC as

recently demonstrated.10 However, as demonstrated in the present study, off-diagonal

responses contained in the indirect covariance processed GHSQC can be used to

“forecast” the location of artifact responses in indirect covariance and unsymmetrical




                                            18
indirect covariance calculated spectra of various types. Hopefully, the ability to

determine the location of artifact responses in calculated icv-HSQC-COSY spectra will

facilitate the use of these and other calculated spectra, affording investigators

considerable spectrometer time savings. It will also be interesting to explore the

application of icv-HSQC spectra in the examination of spectra derived by covariance

processing of HMBC spectra as recently reported by Müller and co-workers.13

       Some examples of time savings have been reported but as a further example, we

wish to note that 13C-15N heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy cannot be reasonably

undertaken at natural abundance while, in contrast, these correlation spectra can be

generated algorithmically. This capability alone further underscores the value of the

unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculation of hyphenated and other 2D NMR spectra.

  • 2. Abstract Several groups of authors have reported studies in the areas of indirect and unsymmetrical indirect covariance NMR processing methods. Efforts have recently focused on the use of unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods to combine various discrete two-dimensional NMR spectra to afford the equivalent of the much less sensitive hyphenated 2D NMR experiments, for example GHSQC-COSY and GHSQC– NOESY. Alternatively, unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods can be used to combine multiple heteronuclear 2D spectra to afford 13C-15N HSQC-HMBC correlation spectra. Now we wish to report the use of responses contained in indirect covariance processed GHSQC spectra as a means for the identification of artifacts in both indirect covariance and unsymmetrical indirect covariance processed 2D NMR spectra. 2
  • 3. INTRODUCTION The first reported application of indirect covariance processing of heteronuclear 2D NMR data was in the late 2004 report of Zhang and Brüschweiler who applied the method to a GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum to produce a 13C-13C connectivity plot.1 A footnote in that 2004 report mentioned the possibility of proton resonance overlap causing artifacts in the 13C-13C connectivity plot but the authors did not elaborate further on that observation. Using several model compounds, in 2005 the present authors reported the analysis of two types of artifacts in 13C-13C connectivity plots derived from indirect covariance processing of IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra (Inverted Direct Response-GHSQC-TOCSY).2 In an effort to eliminate artifact responses, the indirect covariance processing algorithm was modified to allow two 2D NMR data matrices to be co-processed. By decomposing an IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum into the corresponding positively and negatively phased sub-spectra and then processing them back together using the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm one type of artifact was eliminated and the other was rendered diagonally asymmetric, thereby allowing the second type of artifact response to be eliminated by symmetrization of the 13 C-13C connectivity plot. While the elimination of artifacts from 13C-13C connectivity plots is a useful attribute of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm, a far more useful capability resides in an investigator’s ability to use the algorithm to co-process discretely acquired 2D NMR spectra. Examples have included: co-processing 1H-13C GHSQC and GHMBC spectra to yield the equivalent of an m,n-ADEQUATE spectrum3; co- processing GHSQC and GCOSY spectra to yield GHSQC-COSY spectra4,5; co- 3
  • 4. processing GHSQC and NOESY data to produce the equivalent of GHSQC-NOESY spectra6; and co-processing 1H-13C GHSQC and various 1H-15N long-range correlation spectra to derive 13C-15N heteronuclear shift correlation spectra.7-9 It should be noted that the method is not restricted to gradient-based experiments with perhaps the sole exception of 1H-15N long-range correlation experiments, which cannot be reasonably performed without resorting to gradients. EXPERIMENTAL All data were acquired for the present study using a Varian 600 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm Cold Probe™ operating at an rf coil temperature of 20 K. The sample used for the data acquisition was prepared by dissolving ~1 mg of naphtho[2’,1’:5,6]naphtho [2’,1’:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinoline (1)10 in ~200 µL deuterochloroform (CIL), after which the sample was transferred to a 3 mm NMR tube (Wilmad) using a flexible Teflon needle and a gas-tight syringe (Hamilton). Spectra acquired included a 1H reference spectrum, a GCOSY spectrum (15 min), a GHSQC spectrum (75 min) and an 18 msec IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum (6 hr). Experiments used the standard pulse sequences contained in the vendor-supplied pulse sequence library and were used without modification. Indirect and unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing was done using algorithms provided in ACD/Labs SpecManager v10.02 software. Data matrices were processed to afford identically digitized spectra 2K x 1K points; spectral widths in F2 and F1 were not identical. Unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing times were typically a few seconds. 4
  • 5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION While examining the icv-13C-15N HSQC-HMBC (icv =indirect covariance calculated; the notation HSQC-HMBC defines the heteronuclides involved, 13C in the case of the HSQC portion of the acronym and 15N for the HMBC portion) spectrum of the anti-tumor alkaloid vinblastine, an artifact was observed due to the overlap of the H2 methine and 24-O-methyl singlets.11 The former was expected to exhibit a two-bond correlation to the N1 resonance; the correlation to the 24-O-methyl resonance, six bonds distant from N1, was clearly an artifact. Titrating the sample with d6-benzene demonstrated that Aromatic Solvent Induced Shifts (ASIS)12 could remove the degeneracy and eliminate the artifact response. Perhaps more importantly, it was also shown that the indirect covariance processed GHSQC spectrum (icv-HSQC hereafter) showed off-diagonal responses that predicted the location and identity of the O-methyl artifact response in the 13C-15N icv-HSQC-HMBC spectrum. On that basis we wanted to explore the possibility of using off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum to identify artifact responses in icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plots derived by indirect covariance processing of GHSQC-TOCSY spectra as well as artifact responses in icv- HSQC-COSY/-TOCSY spectra derived by unsymmetrical indirect covariance co- processing of gradient or non-gradient HSQC and either COSY or TOCSY spectra. As a model compound for the present study, we again elected to employ the complex polynuclear heteroaromatic, naphtho[2’,1’:5,6]naphtho [2’,1’:4,5]thieno[2,3-c] quinoline (1).10 The molecule has a congested 1H NMR spectrum at 600 MHz and multiple proton resonance overlaps that lead to artifact responses in the icv-13C-13C- COSY correlation plot derived from the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum (see Figure 2 5
  • 6. for an explanation of the origins of the artifact responses).2 In a similar fashion, artifact responses are also anticipated in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra of 1 due to proton resonance overlap. 2 3 1 4 17 5 16 6 14 15 13 N 8 12 S 11 10 1 The GHSQC spectrum and the result obtained from the indirect covariance calculation are shown in Figures 1A and B, respectively. As will be noted from the indirect covariance plot (icv-HSQC), there are pairs of off-diagonal responses observed due to proton resonance overlap of varying degrees that range from the essentially complete overlap of the H6 and H15 resonances to partial overlaps that give much weaker off-diagonal pairs in the icv-HSQC spectrum, as shown in Figure 1C. 6

  • 9. Subjecting the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum shown in Figure 2A to indirect covariance processing affords the icv-13C-13C-COSY connectivity plot shown in Figure 2B. Off-diagonal responses in Figure 2B correlated by solid black lines represent legitimate 13C-13C-COSY correlation responses. Off-diagonal responses designated by solid red and dashed red lines correspond to Type I and Type II artifact responses, respectively.2 Figure 3 compares the indirect covariance spectrum calculated from the GHSQC spectrum shown in Panel A with the icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plot calculated using indirect covariance processing shown in Panel B. Legitimate vicinal 13 C-13C-COSY correlations are denoted by solid black lines; Type I artifacts are designated by solid red lines; Type II artifacts are denoted by dashed black lines. The solid blue boxes linking Panels A and B identify the origins of the Type I artifact responses identified from the off-diagonal response in the icv-HSQC spectrum shown in Panel A. The single dashed blue box identifies the origins of one of the Type II artifact responses that arise from the overlap of a direct response from one spin system and a relayed response from a second, overlapped spin system. While forecasting and identifying artifact responses in a icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plot is interesting, being able to forecast the location of artifact responses in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated using unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing is a much more useful application of the resonance overlap information data derived by icv-HSQC spectrum. Figure 4 shows the comparison of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculated icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum of 1 with the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum recorded with an 18 ms mixing time shown previously in Figures 2A. In particular, the ability to use unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods to

The blue boxes highlight the Type I artifact responses, contained in Panel B that are identified by the off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum shown in Panel A.

  • 14. calculate a icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum from the discrete gradient or non-gradient HSQC and COSY spectra has the potential to provide investigators with considerable time savings vs. having to acquire the hyphenated 2D data. In addition, this type of post- acquisition processing also allows investigators access to GHSQC-COSY spectra when they might have to wait before they again have access to a spectrometer on which to acquire the data or worse still, when they may no longer have the sample due to decomposition, consumption for biological or other testing, etc. Visual comparison of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculated icv- HSQC-COSY and acquired IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra shown in Figures 4B and 4A, respectively, quickly confirms that there are responses present in the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum that are not present in the experimental spectrum. There are two possibilities for the additional responses. First, as expected, proton resonance overlaps confirmed by the icv-HSQC spectrum (Figures 1B and 3A) are expected to give rise to artifact responses. Second, there also exists the possibility that the higher relative sensitivity of the GHSQC and GCOSY experiments, when compared to the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY experiment, can allow legitimate responses to be observed that are either very weak or even absent in the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum. Analyzing the icv-HSQC spectrum, 13C chemical shift pairs can be determined for the off-diagonal response pairs. Plotting the GHSQC indirect covariance spectrum beside the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum, the off-diagonal response pairs of the former correspond to 13C shifts in the latter at which artifact responses may be observed as shown in Figure 4. Using the overlapped H6 and H15 proton resonances at 8.52 ppm as an example, off- diagonal responses are observed in Figure 4C for C6 (125.4 ppm) and C15 (129.8 ppm) 14

Direct responses are inverted and are plotted in red; TOCSY responses have positive intensity and are plotted in black. A high resolution proton spectrum is plotted above Panel A. Connectivities are shown in the less congested region of the spectrum. Direct proton/carbon correlation responses are labeled.10 B.) icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum calculated using the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm from discretely acquired GHSQC and GCOSY spectra. A projection is shown above Panel B. C.) icv-HSQC spectrum of 1. A projected 13C spectrum is shown above Panel C. Off-diagonal responses correspond to protonated carbons with overlapped protons. The F1 13C shift corresponds to the F1 axis of the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum shown in Panel B. The off-diagonal pair of responses in Panel C denoted with the red bar corresponds to the overlapped proton resonances associated with the C6 and C15 resonances at 125.4 and 129.8 ppm, respectively. Red arrows from the off-diagonal responses in Panel C to the corresponding F1 chemical shifts in Panel B denote the carbons associated with overlapped protons. Correlations at the proton chemical shifts of H14 (7.84 ppm), H6/H15 (8.52 ppm), and H5 (9.09 ppm) and the C6 (125.4 ppm) and C15 (129.8 ppm) correspond to artifact correlations. These pairs of responses in the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum are designated by vertical red bars. Off-diagonal responses at 134.4 and 132.4 ppm in Panel C designated by the green bar correspond to another pair of 13C shifts with proton resonance overlaps. Green arrows from Panel C to Panel B identify these pairs of artifact responses in a manner analogous to that just described from the H6/H15 proton resonances. Artifact correlations in the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum shown in Panel B are identified by red hatched boxes. Open blue boxes designate legitimate correlations that are either not observed in the 18 msec IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectrum shown in Panel A or responses that are below the threshold of the spectrum shown in Panel A. 16

Tracking horizontally from Figure 4C to Figure 4B, pairs of responses at these 13C chemical shifts are observed at the proton shifts of H14 (7.84 ppm), H6/H15 (8.52 ppm), and H5 (9.09 ppm). The vertical red lines in Figure 4B denote the pairs of responses identified by the off-diagonal responses in Figure 4C. The responses in red, hatched boxes at 7.84/125.4 and 9.09/129.8 ppm are artifact responses. The responses at 8.52/125.4 and 8.52/129.8 ppm are both direct responses from isolated spin systems and hence are not correlated to one another. Off-diagonal responses at 134.4 and 132.4 ppm in Panel C correlated with a green anti-diagonal line represent another pair of artifact correlations that are tracked back into Figure 4B. In a similar fashion, the other off-diagonal correlations shown in Figure 4C could be used to track artifacts in the highly congested region of the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum in the region from 7.75-8.1 ppm in F2 and from 134.0-136.5 ppm in F1. In addition to the artifact responses already discussed in the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum shown in Figure 4B, there are also several additional responses in blue, hatched boxes. The responses in this group are legitimate correlation responses that are either below the threshold of the IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY contour plot shown in Figure 4A or not observed at all because of the length of the mixing time used. The ability to observe “distant” responses in a four-spin system is a function of the mixing time in the case of a GHSQC-TOCSY experiment or the extent of digitization in the F1 frequency domain in the case of the GCOSY spectrum used to calculate the icv-HSQC-COSY spectrum as shown in Figure 4B. 17
  • 18. CONCLUSIONS Subjecting a GHSQC spectrum to indirect covariance processing gives rise to an auto-correlated icv-HSQC spectrum in which the only off-diagonal responses observed are due to carbon resonances with overlapped, directly attached protons as shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 3, the off-diagonal responses in the icv-HSQC spectrum can be used to identify artifact responses in GHSQC-TOCSY and IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra subjected to indirect covariance processing to derive icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plots. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the present report is the demonstrated ability to use off-diagonal response information from the icv-GHSQC spectrum to identify artifacts in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated from discretely acquired GHSQC and GCOSY spectra using the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing algorithm. Overlapping proton resonances, as initially observed in the late 2004 report of Zhang and Brüschweiler,1 can give rise to artifact responses in icv-13C-13C-COSY correlation plots calculated by indirect covariance processing of GHSQC-TOCSY and IDR-GHSQC-TOCSY spectra. In a similar fashion, proton resonance artifacts can also lead to artifacts in icv-HSQC-COSY spectra calculated using unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing as shown in the present study, or in icv-13C-15N HSQC-HMBC as recently demonstrated.10 However, as demonstrated in the present study, off-diagonal responses contained in the indirect covariance processed GHSQC can be used to “forecast” the location of artifact responses in indirect covariance and unsymmetrical 18

Hopefully, the ability to determine the location of artifact responses in calculated icv-HSQC-COSY spectra will facilitate the use of these and other calculated spectra, affording investigators considerable spectrometer time savings. It will also be interesting to explore the application of icv-HSQC spectra in the examination of spectra derived by covariance processing of HMBC spectra as recently reported by Müller and co-workers.13 Some examples of time savings have been reported but as a further example, we wish to note that 13C-15N heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy cannot be reasonably undertaken at natural abundance while, in contrast, these correlation spectra can be generated algorithmically. This capability alone further underscores the value of the unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculation of hyphenated and other 2D NMR spectra. 19
