10 Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Deduce Structure In this chapter we address the question that faces anyone trying to identify the molecular structure of a substance, namely, “What is it?” To put it another way, this chapter begins to answer the obvious question that you may already have been thinking after the first nine chapters of this book, namely, “How does anyone really know that all those molecules are what we say they are?” In the “olden days,” tedious indirect identification methods had to be used, and some are described in the text. Nowadays these questions are answered through the use of spectroscopy, a technique that serves as the “eyes” of an organic chemist with respect to the structures of molecules. The most important and widely used type of spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), is described in this chapter. Outline of the Chapter 10-1 Physical and Chemical Tests The “classical” (translate as “tedious”) methods of structure elucidation. 10-2 Defining Spectroscopy Or, now for something just a little bit different. 10-3 Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance An example of fairly simple physics put to very good use.

10-9 Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance The utility of another magnetic nucleus in NMR. Keys to the Chapter 10-2. Defining Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is mainly physics. In spite of that, the material in this section is really very basic and quite understandable: Spectroscopy detects the absorption of energy by molecules. The stake that the organic chemist has in this is also simple. Determining the structure of a molecule requires that the chemist be able to interpret spectroscopically observed energy absorptions in terms of structural features of an unknown molecule. This chapter describes the physical phenomena associated with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It then describes their logical implications as applied to identifying structural features in a molecule from a nuclear magnetic resonance “spectrum.” Don’t be frightened. The end result—the ability to interpret spectroscopic data in terms of molecular structure—is actually one of the easiest skills to acquire in this course. It’s almost fun! 10-3. Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance In the upcoming text sections the physical basis for the utility of nuclear magnetic resonance in organic chemistry is presented. This text section describes a couple of concepts that are likely to be unfamiliar to you. The first is the idea that a magnet can align with an external magnetic field in more than one way. Most of us are familiar with bar magnet compasses, which orient themselves along the Earth’s magnetic field in one direction only. Nuclear magnets are actually similar, except for the fact that the reorientation energies are so small that energy quantization becomes significant. Like the compass, the nuclear magnet does have one energetically preferred alignment (the spin for a proton). Less favored alignments (spin states) are very close in energy to the preferred one on a nuclear scale, however. So, unlike the macroscopic compass, the microscopic nuclei can commonly be observed in less favorable, higher energy orientations in a magnetic field. The second new idea is that of resonance. This is the term that describes the absorption of exactly the correct amount of quantized energy to cause a species in a lower energy state to move to a higher energy state. For nuclear magnets, this is commonly described as a spin flip ( spin state to spin state for a proton, the nucleus of the hydrogen atom). The amount of energy involved depends on the identity of the nucleus and the size of the external magnet. The text section describes these relationships in detail. It is the observation of resonance energy absorptions by magnetic nuclei at certain values of magnetic field strength and energy input (in the form of radio waves) that constitutes the physical basis for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 10-4. The Hydrogen Chemical Shift The normal NMR spectrum can provide four important pieces of structural information about an unknown molecule. The first two pieces of information are derived from the fact that hydrogens in different chemical environments display separate resonance lines in a high resolution 1 H NMR spectrum. Thus, first, by counting the number of resonance signals in the spectrum, one knows the number of sets of hydrogen atoms in different chemical environments contained in the molecule. Second, the actual position of each resonance signal is characteristic of certain kinds of chemical environments, e.g., it can imply proximity to a specific type of functional group, or attachment to a certain type of atom. The phenomenon responsible for this is the shielding of a magnetic nucleus under observation by the nearby electrons in the molecule. How this comes about physically is described in detail. On a typical NMR spectrum, resonance signals to the left of the chart result from less strongly shielded (deshielded) hydrogens, whereas signals to the right are representative of more 176 • Chapter 10 USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY TO DEDUCE STRUCTURE 1559T_ch10_175-198 10/30/05 18:09 Page 176

strongly shielded ones. Deshielded hydrogens require lower external magnetic fields for resonance, whereas shielded ones require higher fields. So we have NMR spectra that have the following qualitative relationships: As described in the text, a resonance signal’s position is measured as a field-independent chemical shift, which has units of parts per million (ppm) of the total applied field, often called units. These read from right to left, with the usual hydrogen spectrum covering a range from 0 to 10 ppm. Table 10-2 shows typical chemical shifts for common types of hydrogens. There is a lot here, but for most purposes all you really need to know are the types of hydrogens that resonate in several general regions of the NMR spectrum. Region Chemical shift Hydrogen type A 0–1.5 ppm alkane-type hydrogens B 1.5–3.0 ppm hydrogens on carbons next to carbon-containing functional groups C 3.0–4.5 ppm hydrogens on carbons attached to electronegative atoms D 4.5–6.0 ppm alkene-type hydrogens E 6.0–9.5 ppm benzene-type hydrogens F 9.5–10.0 ppm hydrogens of aldehyde group With this as a basis, you are ready to start interpreting NMR spectra. For the initial problems of this type, simply count the number of signals in the spectrum and note the position of each one. Then see if you can come up with a structure that displays the correct number of signals in approximately the observed places, using the material in the text section. If you can, you have probably picked a sensible structure for the unknown molecule. 10-5. Chemical Shift Equivalence This section presents detailed procedures for determining which hydrogens in a molecule have identical chemical shifts due to chemical equivalence.

the six hydrogens of ethane. There are some minor complications that might require a review of the material toward the end of Chapter 5, but on the whole these procedures are not difficult. 10-6. Integration Integration provides the third major piece of information available from NMR: the relative number of hydrogens responsible for each separate NMR signal. The integration is measured electronically by the NMR spectrometer and plotted directly on the spectrum. It tells you whether a given NMR signal is due to a single hydrogen or some number of chemical-shift-equivalent hydrogens in the molecule. The integration is critical for the correct interpretation of NMR spectra. 10-7. Spin–Spin Splitting Because many atomic nuclei are magnets, the NMR signal of a nucleus under observation can, in principle, be affected by the presence of other nearby magnetic nuclei. These neighboring nuclear magnets can align with or against the external magnetic field, so their fields can add to or subtract from the field generated by the NMR machine. The result is a slight change in the resonance line position for the nucleus under observation and is called spin–spin coupling or spin–spin splitting. Again, for spectral interpretation purposes, the theory, presented in the text (although it is not really complicated at all), is secondary to understanding the meaning of the phenomenon in terms of molecular structure. Thus it is often sufficient to rely on two simple rules: 1. Spin–spin splitting is not observed between chemical-shift-equivalent hydrogens. 2. The signal of a hydrogen with N neighboring hydrogens will be split into N 1 lines (“N 1 rule”). There are two important qualifications to rule 2: a. N 1 lines is a minimum. There may be more (Section 10-8). b. In determining N, you count only neighbors whose chemical shifts are different from that of the hydrogen whose signal is being considered (because of rule 1). A little careful observation of the text examples will help you get used to the consequences of spin–spin splitting in its most common forms. Table 10-5 and Figures 10-16, 21, and 22 nicely illustrate these situations. 10-8. Spin–Spin Splitting: Complications The splitting rules outlined in the previous section are idealized for two conditions that are only rarely met in any NMR spectrum. For these rules to hold exactly: First, all the signals must be separated from one another by a distance much greater than the coupling constant within each of their patterns (i.e., J ). Second, all the coupling constants (J values) associated with any hydrogen must be identical in size, even if that hydrogen is coupled to more than one group of neighboring hydrogens. If either of these conditions is not fulfilled, the spectrum won’t look exactly as you might expect. Fortunately, a lot of the time these conditions are approached, especially for hydrogens near electronegative atoms or functional groups. You will therefore have to be aware of the possible effects of “non-first-order” situations; but, for the most part, you won’t have to worry a whole lot about them. 10-9. Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance This is an extension of NMR spectroscopy that is now widely used. There are two reasons. First, modern NMR instruments make these spectra much easier to obtain than originally was the case. Second, the spectra contain useful information that is very easy to interpret, especially under conditions of broad-band hydrogen decoupling, which “wipes out” the spin–spin splitting by neighboring hydrogens. The results are spectra that contain only singlets, that is, a single line for each carbon or group of chemically equivalent carbons. Given such a spectrum, you can quickly determine whether or not it corresponds to a proposed structure simply by counting the lines in the spectrum. Of course, more extensive information is also available from the 13C 178 • Chapter 10 USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY TO DEDUCE STRUCTURE 1559T_ch10_175-198 10/30/05 18:09 Page 178

32. (a) The spectrum shows two signals, at 1.1 and 3.3. The 1.1 signal is for 9 equivalent hydrogens, and the 3.3 signal is for 2 equivalent hydrogens. A good way to get nine equivalent hydrogens is with a (CH3)3C group. The other two hydrogens must be on a separate, single carbon, because the (CH3)3C group contains all but one of the five carbons in the formula. The downfield location of these two hydrogens suggests their carbon is attached to the C1. So, (b) Somewhat similar: two signals, 1.9 and 3.8. The signal for six equivalent hydrogens is probably due to two methyl groups on the same carbon (CH3OCOCH3). The two-hydrogen signal can only be a OCH2O, because there are only four carbons in the molecule. So, 33. (a) The spectrum has two signals in a 31 intensity ratio. The molecule has eight hydrogens, so there must be one group of six equivalent H’s and another of two equivalent H’s (62 31). Two equivalent CH3’s and a CH2 account for all but the two oxygen atoms in the formula. The larger signal at 3.3 is just right for hydrogens on carbons attached to an oxygen. The downfield location for the small signal ( 4.4) is consistent with attachment of carbon to more than one oxygen. Putting it all together we get (b) Again two signals, but now in a 91 intensity ratio. Reasoning as in (a), there are three equivalent CH3’s, each attached to an oxygen, and a CH attached to more than one oxygen, as indicated by its downfield chemical shift ( 4.9). The only consistent structure is then (c) Two signals that are equal in intensity imply two different groups, each with six equivalent H’s. The signal at 3.1 could imply two equivalent CH3OO groups, and the signal at 1.2 suggests two equivalent CH3 groups not attached to oxygen. These all add up to C4H12O2, leaving one carbon unaccounted for in the formula of the molecule (C5H12O2). The fifth carbon can be used to connect the other four groups: (CH3O)2C(CH3)2, which is the answer. By comparison, 1,2-dimethoxyethane has two signals in a 32 ( 64) ratio, and they are both in a region consistent with H’s on a carbon attached to a single oxygen, as the structure CH3OCH2CH2OCH3 requires. 4.9 (CH3O)3CH 3.3 CH3 O CH2 O CH3 4.4 Equivalent, at 3.3 (2) Br Br Br CH3 C C CH3 CH2 CH3 CH3 CH2 1.9 3.8 3.3 as a plausible structure.

34. (a) There are two signals in a 3:1 intensity ratio. There are 12 H’s in the formula, so there are 9 H’s in one location (not adjacent to a functional group, according to the 1.2, high-field shift) and 3 H’s in another (close to a functional group, based on the 2.1 chemical shift). It is simplest to start with CH3 groups as pieces of a possible structure. There is also a CO group, because the molecule is a ketone. So we have so far CH3 (3)CH3 CO which adds up to C5H12O. One additional C is needed, but nothing else. If we draw all these pieces with the possible bonds they can form we have Attaching the first CH3 to the CO will explain its chemical shift: None of the other three CH3’s can be directly on the CO because (1) the chemical shifts are wrong and (2) there would be no place left to attach the rest of the pieces. So, attach the unbonded C atom instead: Now the only possible final step is to attach the three CH3’s: (b) Both show two signals in a 3:1 ratio, corresponding to nine H’s and three H’s again. Let’s assume again that the pieces are the same as in (a), plus the extra O atom. Let’s also assume that three of the CH3’s are again on the extra C atom; that is, we have as our pieces For isomer 1, OCH3 is at 2.0 and OC(CH3)3 is at 1.5. The OC(CH3)3 is downfield relative to the ketone in (a). For isomer 2, OCH3 is at 3.6, far downfield relative to the ketone in (a), but the OC(CH3)3 is at 1.2, almost identical to the ketone in (a). The CH3 in isomer 2 must be attached to the extra O, with the rest of the molecule similar to the ketone in (a). This compound is an ester.
