Summary
The use of13C spin-lattice relaxation measurements as a probe of structure in solution is illustrated for flexibilide. Analysis of quaternary carbon relaxation behaviour indicates that the structure in solution differs from the crystal structure. The effects of lanthanide shift and relaxation reagents on13C spectral parameters are also reported.

According to the X-ray crystal structure3 the nearest hydrogens to C-16 are (C-17)H at 2.65 Å and (C-3)H at 2.85Å.
T1-values were calculated with the use of rCH=1.09 Å for all protonated carbons. Duplicate calculation with rCH=1.10 Å were carried out following recent reports in the literature which suggest that this value may be more appropriate (V.R. Cross and J.S. Waugh, J. magn. Reson.25, 225 (1977); M. Llinás, W. Meier and K. Wüthrich, Biochim. biophys. Acta492, 1 (1977/reference 15). These calculation yield nearly identical non-bonded C−H distances.

ΔB values for C-16 in the presence of Yb(fod)3, Eu(fod)3, and Pr(fod)3 are 823, 154, and −346 Hz, respectively.
Note that neither solvent nor LSR was dried before use.
