摘要
NMR chemical shift prediction at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory was used to develop a highly accurate probability theory algorithm for the determination of the stereochemistry of diastereomers as well as the regiochemistry. DFT-GIAO calculations were performed for each conformer using geometry optimization and a CPCM solvent model. Boltzmann averaged shielding constants were converted to chemical shifts for 1H and 13C, using the generalized linear scaling terms determined in four different solvents for 1H and 13C and extended to 15N in DMSO. The probability theory algorithm, DiCE, was based on the DP4 method and developed for 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR using individual and combined probability data. The chemical shift calculation errors were fitted to a Student’s t-distribution for 1H and 13C and a normal distribution for 15N. The application yielded a high accuracy for structural assignment with a low computational cost.
