Research on 1H NMR spectrum optimization of 2,3-benzodiazepines based on conformational isomerism

Results in Chemistry
To address the issue of multiple sets of signal peaks and irregular peak shapes in the 1H NMR spectra of some 2,3-benzodiazepines due to conformational isomerism, 1H NMR experiments were conducted using 2,3-benzodiazepines 1 as examples, with variations ...
