  1. C1 corresponds to class of carbon that corresponds to carbon atoms bonded to carbon or hydrogen (C–C or C-H)
  2. C2 corresponds to class of carbon atoms bonded to single non-carbonyl oxygen(C–O)
  3. C3 corresponds to class of carbon atoms bonded to a carbonyl or two non-carbonyls (C=O or O–C–O)
