  "abstract": "Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for characterizing pharmaceutical solids, yet inconsistencies in spectral assignment can hinder accurate structural interpretation. In this study, we revisit the solid-state NMR of efavirenz (EFV), a widely used anti-HIV drug, by employing fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) at 37 kHz. Through a combination of one-dimensional (1H, 19F, 13C) and two-dimensional correlation (13C–1H and 13C–19F) experiments, we resolve previously disputed assignments. Critically, we correct the misassignment of the aromatic C3 and C4 resonances, which is unambiguously confirmed by a 2D 13C–1H correlation spectrum using the key HN–C4 proximity. The 19F spectrum reveals two distinct peaks with an integral ratio of 1:2, directly reflecting the three crystallographically independent molecules in the unit cell and offering a facile diagnostic for molecular asymmetry. 19F-detected 13C–19F correlations further differentiate carbon environments. This work not only rectifies prior assignment errors but also establishes a robust multinuclear approach, integrating 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR, for detailed analysis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals.",
