[0022] After clear characterization, the impurity structures are clear, making them convenient to use as reference standards in production and quality control. Specifically, the characterization of impurities 1, 2, and 3 includes confirmation of their molecular structures and conformations, clearly defining their molecular structures, including their stereoconformities. The specific characterization is as follows: Figure 1 shows the 1H NMR spectrum of impurity 1 (…). 1 ¹H-NMR clearly characterizes the number and type of hydrogen atoms in impurity 1; Figure 2 shows the carbon NMR spectrum of impurity 1. 13 Figure 3 shows the DEPT spectrum of impurity 1, which clearly characterizes the number and types of carbon atoms in impurity 1. Figure 4 shows the DEPT spectrum of impurity 1, used to distinguish different types of carbon (primary carbon, secondary carbon, tertiary carbon, quaternary carbon) in organic molecules, thus supplementing conventional methods. 13 CNMR only provides chemical shifts and cannot directly determine the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon; Figure 4 shows impurity 1. 1 H- 1H COSY spectroscopy reveals the bonding connections between hydrogen nuclei, enabling rapid identification of cross-peaks and construction of spin systems.

Figure 5 shows the HSQC spectrum of impurity 1, a two-dimensional heteronuclear correlation NMR spectrum. Its core function is to establish the correspondence between directly linked ¹H and ¹³C. Figure 6 shows the HMBC spectrum of impurity 1. HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation) spectroscopy is a two-dimensional heteronuclear NMR spectrum based on long-range ¹H-¹³C coupling.

Figure 7 shows the NOESY spectrum of impurity 1. NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy) Effect correlation spectroscopy (ERS) is a two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum based on dipole-dipole interactions between spatially adjacent protons. Its core function is to reveal ¹H-¹H spatial correlations within a distance of less than 5 Å in molecules. It complements ¹H-¹HCOSY, which depends on chemical bond coupling, and is a key tool for resolving molecular stereochemistry, conformation, and intermolecular interactions.
