Configurational and conformational analysis of the biologically relevant natural product artemisinin was conducted using carbon-carbon residual dipolar couplings (1DCC RDCs) at natural abundance. These RDCs were measured through the 2D-INADEQUATE NMR experiment using a sample aligned in a compressed poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) gel swollen in CDCl3. Singular value decomposition (SVD) fitting analysis of all carbon-carbon bonds, 1DCC RDCs, in relation to the full configuration/conformational space (32 diastereoisomers) of artemisinin, unambiguously identified the correct configuration of artemisinin. © 2024 The Authors.
