Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of optically inactive compound A with the molecular formula
Concept introduction:
Many nuclei and electrons have spin. Due to this, a spin magnetic moment arises. The energy of this magnetic moment depends on the orientation of the applied magnetic field. In NMR spectroscopy, every nucleus has a spin. There is an
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of isomer of compound A that has a different melting point and almost identical NMR spectra as that of A is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Many nuclei and electrons have spin. Due to this, a spin magnetic moment arises. The energy of this magnetic moment depends on the orientation of the applied magnetic field. In NMR spectroscopy, every nucleus has a spin. There is an angular momentum related to the spin. The difference between its resonance frequency and that of the reference standard is known as the chemical shift of a nucleus. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is taken as reference.
