The proton magnetic resonance (1H nmr) spectrum of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in CDCl3 at 400 MHz bas been completely analyzed utilizing homonuclear double resonance, inversion recovery, and nOe difference experiments. The nOe difference experiments are used to assign points of configuration, namely the H-10β and the H-10α proton resonances. A spectral analysis shows that the two protons at C-3 and the two protons at C-4 are nonequivalent, indicating a hindered rotation of the chain. This is possibly due to the hairpin conformation of PGE2 in solution.

High-field nuclear Overhauser effect difference measurements allowed the assignment of the proton resonances for (6S)-prostaglandin I1 in phosphate buffer solutions. The two-dimensional J proton magnetic resonance experiments complemented these studies, as they also allowed the structure of several multiplets to be obtained when these multiplets are hidden by nearby resonances in a normal spectrum. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are compared with the data obtained previously for (6R)-prostaglandin I1.

The proton magnetic resonance (1H nmr) spectrum at 400 MHz of prostacyclin at pH 10.4 in glycine buffer has been completely analyzed utilizing homonuclear double resonance, inversion recovery, and difference nOe experiments. The spectral analysis shows that the two protons at C-4 are non-equivalent even though they are removed from the asymmetric centres at C-8 and C-9 by five bonds. The difference nOe measurements verify the configuration at C-5.Proton longitudinal relaxation times (T1) were measured at 400 and 200 MHz. From the T1 frequency dependence, effective rotational correlation times ranging from 2.3 × 10−10 to 3.0 × 10−10 s were calculated for H-5, H-9, H-11, and H-15. This indicates that the portion of the molecule encompassed by these protons has a longer correlation time than is observed for the C-2 and the C-17 to C-19 protons, for which the average correlation time is 1.2 × 10−10 s. Hence the aliphatic side chains have more segmental motion.

Techniques for studying high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra have been considerably broadened in recent years. The most far reaching development—pulse Fourier transform (FT) methods—is discussed in detail. Applications of FT techniques to measurement of relaxation times and to enhancement of weak signals, especially from natural abundance 13C, are reviewed. Double resonance methods, particularly the nuclear Overhauser effect, and the use of lanthanide shift reagents are also covered in this “mini-review.”

Nuclear Overhauser effect one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments are reported for prostaglandin E1. The two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect measurements are combined with spin-echo correlated spectroscopy in order to assign the complete high-field proton magnetic resonance spectrum of 6-keto-prostaglandin E1. The advantages of these two-dimensional techniques are illustrated in these studies. It is also observed that the 6-keto-prostaglandin E1 H-10α proton is substituted more readily by deuterium than are the other protons α to the keto groups.
