Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.49SP
The three isomers of dimethylbenzene are commonly named ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. These three isomers are difficult to distinguish using proton NMR but they are instantly identifiable using 13 C N M R.
- a. Describe how carbon NMR distinguishes these three isomers.
- b. Explain why they are difficult to distinguish using proton NMR.
