Chapter 13.2, Problem 3P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Many nuclei have spin and all nuclei are electrically charged. If an external magnetic field is applied, an energy transfer is possible between the ground energy to a higher energy level.

Concept introduction:

¹H NMR: A technique gives information to predict the Carbon and Hydrogen connectivity in the organic compounds.

Homotopic: If the protons are interchangeable through rotational symmetry, then the protons are chemically equivalent and termed as homotopic.

Enantiotopic protons: If subjected protons in the molecule can be interchanged through rotational or reflection symmetry known as Enantiotopic protons and the protons are chemically equivalent.

Diastereotopic: If the protons are not interchangeable through either of the symmetry operations, then the protons are Diastereotopic; the protons are not chemically equivalent if a chiral center present in the molecule.
