NMR Study of the Solution Structure of Curcumin
Abstract
Curcumin [1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione] is derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa. Although early studies concluded that curcumin exists predominantly as a keto-enol tautomer, 1b, in several recent articles the solution structure of curcumin has been represented as a beta-diketone tautomer, 1a. We have investigated the structure of curcumin in solvents ranging in polarity from CDCl3 to mixtures of DMSO-d6 in water, and in buffered aqueous DMSO-d6 solutions with pH values varying from 3 to 9. The solution structure of curcumin was determined on the basis of NMR techniques, including DEPT, HMQC, HMBC, and COSY. The results of the NMR studies show definitely that curcumin exists in solution as keto-enol tautomers, 1b.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
