The proton decoupled 13CNMR spectra of ethyl bromide is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The carbon atom exists in two isotopes 12C and 13C their relative intensity 0.989 and 0.011 respectively. The bromine atom exists in two isotopes 79Br and 81Br their relative intensity (0.505) and (0.495) respectively. In the given case consider 79Br isotope only. The hydrogen atom exists basically in 1H isotope with maximum intensity. The general formula for calculation of relative intensity is shown below.
Relative intensity=Multiplication of natural abundance of elements …(1)
The relative intensity for the molecule in which no 13C isotope is present is calculated by substituting the value of the element’s abundance in equation (1) as shown below.
Relative intensity=((Natural abundance of 1H)5×(Natural abundance of 12C)2×(Natural abundance of 79Br))=(0.999)5×(0.989)2×(0.505)=0.995×0.9781×0.505=0.491
The coefficient represents the number of atoms present of each element. Here the possibility of two 12C is present. The relative intensity for the molecule in which one 12C and one 13C isotope are present is calculated by substituting the value of elements abundance in equation (1) as shown below.
Relative intensity=((Natural abundance of 1H)5×2(Natural abundance of 12C)×(Natural abundance of 13C)×(Natural abundance of 79Br))=(0.999)5×((0.989)×(0.011)×2)×(0.505)=(0.995)×(0.989)×(0.011)×2×(0.505)=0.0109
Here, 12C and 13C both can be present in vice-versa form that is why coefficient 2 is multiplied in the calculation. Similarly, the relative intensity for the molecule in which two 13C isotopes are present is calculated by substituting the value of elements abundance in equation (1) as shown below.
Relative intensity=((Natural abundance of 1H)5×(Natural abundance of 13C)2×(Natural abundance of 79Br))=(0.999)5×(0.011)2×(0.505)=(0.995)×(0.000121)×(0.505)=6.079×10−5
Here the possibility of two 13C is present. Terefore, the relative ratio is calculated by comparing relative intensity as shown below.
no 13C:one 13C:two 13C0.491:0.0109:6.079×10−5
The compound ethyl bromide contains two types of proton containing carbon. It gives rise to a quartet signal of −CH3 carbon and a triplet signal of −CH2− carbon. In the given case, proton decoupled spectra is reported which means a phenomena DEPT is used. DEPT is expanded as distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer which is used to differentiate 1°, 2°, 3° and 4° carbon presence. Three different types of DEPT is used DEPT 90°, 45° and 135°. DEPT 90° give a signal of −CH carbon only. DEPT 45° give signals of all carbon present. DEPT 135° give signals of −CH and −CH3 in the upper direction and a signal of −CH2− carbon in the opposite direction. The proton decoupled 13CNMR spectra of ethyl bromide is shown below.
