Question

1. Using NMR integral ratios of peaks from sesamin and episesamin in the 1H NMR spectrum of the epimerized sample attached, calculate the actual ratio of sesamin to episesamin in the epimerized sample 

a. state the ppm values of the two NMR peaks you compared

-sesamin 1H NMR peak __________ppm 

-episesamin 1H NMR peak _________ppm

b. please show the calculation for the actual ratio of sesamin to episesamin

Expanded/partial ¹H NMR spectrum of a mixture of sesamin & episesamin, obtained by epimerization of sesamin with catalytic boron trifluoride (BF₂)
sesamin + BF3:0Et2

THIS is a good episesamin (epi) peak to compare with a sesamin (ses) peak
Why? - since it's well separated from other peaks there's little chance of unrelated peaks
overlapping with it, which would falsely inflate its integral value

Since this epi peak arises from ONE hydrogen, & each ses peak arises from TWO hydrogens,
you must multiply the ses integral value by 0.5 so that you can directly compare epi & ses
integral values in your calculation for establishing their ratio present in the sample
