Question: How many 13C NMR signals do each compound exhibit?
The 1H NMR spectrum 1,2-dimethoxyethane (CH3OCH2CH2OCH3) recorded on a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer consists of signals at 1017 Hz and 1065 Hz downfield from TMS. (a) Calculate the chemical shift of each absorption. (b) At what frequency would each absorption occur if the spectrum were recorded on a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer?
Question:Propose a structure consistent with each set of spectral data:
a. C4H8Br2: IR peak at 3000–2850cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
1.87 (singlet, 6 H)
3.86 (singlet, 2 H)
b. C3H6Br2: IR peak at 3000–2850cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
2.4 (quintet)
3.5 (triplet)
c. C5H10O2: IR peak at 1740cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
1.15 (triplet, 3 H) 2.30 (quartet, 2 H)
1.25 (triplet, 3 H) 4.72 (quartet, 2 H)
d . C6H14O: IR peak at 3600-3200 cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
0.8 (triplet, 6 H) 1.5 (quartet, 4 H)
1.0 (singlet, 3 H) 1.6 (singlet, 1 H)
e. C6H14O: IR peak at 3000-2850cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
1.10 (doublet, relative area = 6)
3.60 (septet, relative area = 1)
f . C3H6O: IR peak at 1730cm-1 ;
NMR (ppm):
1.11 (triplet)
2.46 (multiplet)
9.79 (triplet)
For each compound, which of the protons on the highlighted carbons absorbs farther downfield?
