a)
Interpretation:
The proposed structure of the compound to be identified for the given 1HNMR spectrum.
Concept introduction:
HDI calculation:
Where
C represent number of carbons.
N represent number of nitrogens.
H represent number of hydrogens.
X represent number of halogens.
Chemical shift: The frequency of the proton signal in the spectrum with reference to the standard compound which may be TMS(Tetramethylsilane) shows signal at 0 ppm(parts per million).
Multiplicity: The number of peaks on the each signal in NMR spectrum is defined as multiplicity; the multiplicity of each signal indicates the neighboring protons. It is generated by coupling of the subjected protons with the neighboring protons (both subjected and neighbor protons are to be chemically not equivalent) separated by either two or three sigma bonds.
Rule: Multiplicity of each signal is calculated using (n+1) rule only when the neighboring protons are chemically equivalent to each other.
(n+1)
where
n indicates number of neighboring protons
Integration value (I): The integration value at the bottom of the 1HNMR spectrum represents the number of protons giving rise to the signal.
To find:
The structure of the compound to be identified for the given molecular formula and 1HNMR spectrum.
Answer to Problem 55GP
Explanation of Solution
Calculate HDI value:
The HDI calculation confirms the presence of an aliphatic ring and double bond
Adjust the relative integration with the number of protons from the molecular formula.
The total number of protons in the molecular formula C10H14 is 6.
Interpret the given information.
Given information:
Three signals with multiplicity and integration values.
2.18ppm(3H, singlet)
4.16ppm(2H, doublet, J=7HZ)
5.71ppm(1H , triplet, J=7HZ)
The HDI value confirms the compound has either a ring or a double bond (one level of unsaturation). The total integration value (3+2+1=6 protons) is also an exact value with the protons of the molecular formula.
A signal at 2.18ppm with integration of 3H’s represents methyl groups which are chemically equivalent having one neighboring proton indicates the characteristic pattern of isopropyl group.
A signal with integration of 2H’s represent a methylene group appears at 4.16ppm rather 5.17ppm, consistent with the value of protons which present at alpha position to vinyl group (C=O) and accounts for the one degree of unsaturation.
The overall predicted structure is:
The methyl groups can be interchanged via no reflectional symmetry and the compound gives rise to totally three signals in spectrum.
The structure of the compound is identified using the details of spectrum and DHI calculation.
