How 1H NMR spectrum for p-xylene will appear? p-xylene H3C CH3 How many H type are their? This will inform us the number of signals in the spectra How many H atoms in each type? This will inform us the area of each signal What are the functional groups near each H type? This will inform us where the signal will appear (chemical shift ) How many H atoms are attached to the carbon atom s nearby each H type? This will inform us how the splitting pattern will appear for each signal
How 1H NMR spectra for p-xylene will appear? p-xylene H3C CH3 a a b a 6H at about 2.2 ppm singlet b 4H at about 7.0 ppm singlet
How 1H NMR spectra for tert-butyl bromide will appear? CH3 H3C C CH3 Br tert-butyl bromide a singlet 9H at about 1.8ppm
How 1H NMR spectra for ethyl bromide will appear? a b CH3CH2-Br ethyl bromide a triplet 3H b quartet 2H
Draw the chemical structure for the compound Number of signals in the spectra will inform us the number of H type in the molecule will inform us the number of H atoms in each type Area of each signal Chemical shift of the signal will inform us about closeness of H type to the functional group Splitting pattern for each signal will inform us how many H atoms surrounding each type
Draw the chemical structure for the compound C3H7Br a triplet 3H b complex 2H c triplet 2H c b a
Draw the chemical structure for the compound C3H7Br o C3H7Br has IHD = 0 no unsaturation (no double bonds nor cycles), so it is chain molecule (straight or branched). o From the given data, there are three signals (a, b and c) so there are three types of H atoms, each type will be at a unique carbon atom. o It is obvious that there is no symmetry in the molecule, the formula has 7H atoms and they are distributed on three separate signals (3+2+2). We have CH3 , CH2 and CH2 c a b o c signal has the higher value (more deshielded atoms), this mean that this H type of atoms are the nearest to the Br atom. We could use tables to check for this, so c signal should be like this CH2 Br c o The splitting pattern shows that a signal is triplet, this mean that it has only 2H atoms surrounding it, so this side of the molecule will be CH3 CH2 because it has only one side to attach with. a o Now, the final touch, the like between the tow ends, it is the b hydrogens. This will form CH3 CH2 CH2 Br. This justify the splitting patterns for b and c. a b c
