SI Figure 5

Fig. 5. HMBC spectrum of U-[15N,13C] HDF at 18°C in acetonitrile-d4. Assignment of 13C resonances is illustrated by horizontal lines. In addition to HSQC and H2BC spectra, the HMBC spectrum revealed the signals arising from quaternary carbons. Correlation peaks with quaternary carbons are labeled according to their respective 1H and 13C resonances associated with the atom numbering.

Fig. 6. 1H-decoupled 13C NMR spectrum of U-[15N,13C] HDF performed in acetonitrile-d4. Based on 13C-13C scalar coupling analysis and in addition to HMBC, the 13C NMR spectrum permitted the unambiguous assignment of the quaternary carbons; C4 at 129.8 ppm gave a quartet due to its homonuclear scalar coupling with C3, C5, and C9, whereas C5 at 143.2 ppm gave a triplet due to its homonuclear scalar coupling with only C6 and C4. The intense solvent peak is labeled as CD3CN.





SI Figure 7

Fig. 7. 1H-15N and 1H-13C two dimensional HN(CO)CA spectra of U-[15N,13C] HDF was performed in acetonitrile at 18°C. This experiment confirmed the presence of an indole ring, because amide proton magnetization could be transferred via the C2 carbonyl carbon to carbon C3. The coherence pathway between the two spectra is the same, with the exception that 15N coherence evolved during t1 for the 1H-15N spectrum whereas 13C coherence evolved in the 1H-13C spectrum.
