Abstract:
A device is proposed to enhance the NMR sensitivity of slowly relaxing nuclei, taking advantage of a controlled solution flow within a microfluidic circuit and microsized NMR detection. Unlike our previous work ( Carret et al. Anal. Chem. 2017 , 89 ( 5 ), 2995 - 3000 ), this setup can be easily installed on any commercial NMR probehead as it uses induction between the commercial antenna and the microcoil. Such a system leads to a significant gain in sensitivity per time unit for slowly relaxing nuclei while preserving the capabilities of the host probehead.

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
