Abstract

Although monodeuterated methyl groups support proton long-lived states, hindering of the methyl rotation limits the singlet relaxation time. We demonstrate an experimental case in which the rapid rotation of the CH2D group extends the singlet lifetime but does not quench the chemical shift difference between the CH2D protons, induced by the chiral environment. Proton singlet order is accessed using Spin-Lock Induced Crossing (SLIC) experiments, showing that the singlet relaxation time TSTS is over 2 min, exceeding the longitudinal relaxation time T1T1 by a factor of more than 10. This result shows that proton singlet states may be accessible and long-lived in rapidly rotating CH2D groups.
