redman nmr Flashcards
(173 cards)
when assigning peaks in nmr,, what. should we look at the molecule for
we should see if there are any resonance forms of itttt.
aka if theres double bonds, carbonyls, edg or ewg with lone pairs etc
what alters a groups chem shift
its proximity to a fg
resonance structures
how does resonance affect ppm
when we draw resonance theres normally a redistribution of e- density.
they place the e- came from will normally be (+) ,, means its less shielded and will have a higher chem shift
okay so if we have butanal with a double bond between 2and 3 ,, what will be seen in spec
we should identify that resonance can occur and draw out the structures!!
we should then see which carbonds are most deshielded and will have a higehr chem shift.
this is normally the carbons bonded to the ewg (no2, cor) and thennnnn the carbon that is (+) due to resonance.
then u look at the other carbonds and their proximity to the fg (the closer they are = the larger the effect of the fg on it)
okay so resonance and substituted benzene
the ortho position is unpredictable bc resonance occurs on it,, but its also very close to the substituent so other factors effect its chem shift
meta: no resonance so it has the same chem shift as unsubstituted benzene
para: this is the special position!!!! this is always affected by resonance!! edg = more shielded,, lower ppm ,,, ewg = deshielded = larger ppm
para posoition and ewg
(+) : deshielded = larger ppm than unsubstituted benzene values
para position and edg
(-) = more shielded = smaller ppm value than unsubstituted benzene.
diff forms of coupling
scalar dipolar
scalar coupling
between bonds
bc e- also have a magnetic field
dipolar coupling
between space
they dont need to be connected via bond
doesnt rlly matter for in solution nmr
when is coupling to d observed
when u use deuterated solvent : so basically for everything
d i value =
1
why would u switch h for d
bc in methane: u cant calculate the coupling between the h’s bc. its not oberserved bc theyre said rto be in the same env.
if u switch some for d,, there will be coupling
J.HD /J.HH = yd / yh
yd/yh = look up
J.HD = can find using spec
use this to find J.HH
what is gyromagnetic constant ,, y
constant that shows the strength of the magnetic field of the nucleus
the number to the lhs of J is what
the number of bonds between the 2 things that are coupling
what effects J
- distance // number of bonds
- gyromagnetic constant
- hybridisation
- bond angles (orbital overlap is effected)
- electronegativity
J value is Hz can beeee
positive or negative values
Hz of 1J
280Hz
very large bc close proximity
2J Hz between a carbonyl
0 - 3 Hz
2J geminal (attached to the same C)
-20 — 5 Hz
3J vicinal (on adjacent C’s with a good bond rotation between them)
2 – 12Hz or 7Hz
3J trans alkene
12 – 18 Hz
3J cis alkene
7 - 12Hz
how can we find out if smt is a cis or trans alkene
we look at the coupling constant value,,,
7–12Hz = cis
12 - 18 Hz = trans
