Abstract
A simple method is suggested to identify the structure of novel compounds with basic IR, 1H, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and computational tools. With the molecular formula obtained from high‐resolution mass spectrometry, all possible isomers are calculated. The absence or presence of particular functional groups which were inferred from IR, 1H, and 13C NMR and DEPT spectra are used to sort all the possible isomers using SMARTS code and RDKit. Then, the final structure(s) are identified by comparing the correlation between Quantum mechanically calculated 13C NMR chemical shielding constants and experimental 13C chemical shifts of molecules in consideration. We have applied this protocol to five natural compounds, the number of heavy atoms ranging from 11 to 15, and correctly identified the structures of all test cases. The limitations and further consideration are discussed. Structure Identification Process.
