Number of Signals and Stereochemistry

• Watch out when you have rings and/or douuble
  bonds! To determine equivalent protons in
  cycloalkanes and alkenes, always draw all bonds
  to hydrogen.

Number of Signals in a Cyclic Compound

• Proton equivalency in cycloalkanes can be
  determined similarly.

Positions of Signals - Local Diamagnetic Shielding

Positions of Signals Induced Anisotropic
Shielding - Benzene

• In a magnetic field, the six ? electrons in a
  benzene ring circulate around the ring creating a
  ring current.
• The magnetic field induced by these moving
  electrons reinforces the applied magnetic field
  in the vicinity of the protons.
• The protons feel a stronger magnetic field and
  thus are deshielded. A higher frequency is needed
  for resonance.

7
Positions of Signals Induced Anisotropic
Shielding - Alkene

• In a magnetic field, the loosely held ? electrons
  circulate creating a magnetic field that
  reinforces the applied field in the vicinity of
  the protons.
• Since the protons now feel a stronger magnetic
  field, they require a higher frequency for
  resonance. Thus the protons are deshielded and
  the absorption is downfield.

Positions of Signals Induced Anisotropic
Shielding - Alkyne

• In a magnetic field, the ? electrons of a
  carbon-carbon triple bond are induced to
  circulate, but in this case the induced magnetic
  field opposes the applied magnetic field (B0).
• Thus, the proton feels a weaker magnetic field,
  so a lower frequency is needed for resonance. The
  nucleus is shielded and the absorption is upfield.

Intensity of Signals

• The area under an NMR signal is proportional to
  the number of absorbing protons.
• The integral ratios tell us the ratios of the
  protons causing the peak.
• Strategy - find a peak that you can assign
  unambiguously and set its integral at the
  appropriate number of Hs.

Splitting Patterns

• Consider the spectrum below

13
Theory of spin-spin splitting

• Spin-spin splitting occurs only between
  nonequivalent protons on the same carbon or
  adjacent carbons.

Let us consider how the doublet due to the CH2
group on BrCH2CHBr2 occurs
14
Doublet
The frequency difference, measured in Hz between
two peaks of the doublet is called the coupling
constant, J.
15
Triplet
Let us now consider how a triplet arises

• When placed in an applied magnetic field (B0),
  the adjacent protons Ha and Hb can each be
  aligned with (?) or against (?) B0.
• Thus, the absorbing proton feels three slightly
  different magnetic fieldsone slightly larger
  than B0, one slightly smaller than B0, and one
  the same strength at B0.

Peak ratios in a multiplet.

• Doublet The two spin states of the proton
  causing splitting are nearly equally populated
  (because the energy difference is so small).
  Therefore a doublet is has a peak ratio of 11.
• Triplet - Because there are two different ways
  to align one proton with B0, and one proton
  against B0that is, ?a?b and ?a?bthe middle peak
  of the triplet is twice as intense as the two
  outer peaks, making the ratio of the areas under
  the three peaks 121.

Rules for predicting splitting patterns

• Equivalent protons do not split each others
  signals.
• A set of n nonequivalent protons splits the
  signal of a nearby proton into n 1 peaks.
• Splitting is observed for nonequivalent protons
  on the same carbon or adjacent carbons.

If Ha and Hb are not equivalent, splitting is
observed when

1H NMRSpin-Spin Splitting
Whenever two (or three) different sets of
adjacent protons are equivalent to each other,
use the n 1 rule to determine the splitting
pattern.
