SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving specific spectroscopy problems from worksheets 6a and 6b. The user seeks assistance with problems #1 and #2 from worksheet 6b, and #4 from worksheet 6a. Key insights include identifying functional groups that produce sharp singlets at 11.5 ppm and 11 ppm, respectively, and analyzing carbon environments in the C13 spectrum, which show significant peaks at 180 ppm and 205 ppm. The discussion emphasizes the interpretation of proton and carbon spectra to deduce molecular structures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of NMR spectroscopy principles
  • Familiarity with interpreting proton (1H) and carbon (13C) NMR spectra
  • Knowledge of functional groups and their spectral characteristics
  • Ability to analyze peak patterns and ratios in NMR data
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the characteristics of common functional groups in NMR spectroscopy
  • Learn to interpret complex NMR spectra, focusing on splitting patterns
  • Explore the relationship between chemical shifts and molecular structure in NMR
  • Practice solving spectroscopy problems using worksheets and real data
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals involved in organic chemistry and spectroscopy analysis will benefit from this discussion.

I have done a few Spectroscopy questions already, However I am having troble with these last three problems. Any help would be GREAT!
Here is the link tothe spectroscopy questions.
On worksheet 6b, I need help on #1 and #2.
On worksheet 6a I need help on #4.

Well I personally have no clue on the problem unless you can show us any work you have done on those problems...
 
C'mon!

6B, #1 is too easy. What functional group do you know of that will give you a sharp singlet (proton spectrum) way down at 11.5 ppm? Treat the group of peaks at 0.9 and 2.3 ppm as triplets and the absorbance at 1.6 ppm as a multiplet. The C13 spectrum has a carbon way down at 180 ppm. Four types of carbon are present.

#2 is also easy. You have a singlet way down at 11 ppm. Treat the absorbance at 1ppm as a doublet and the multiplet at 2.4 as a quartet. The C13 spectrum has a carbon way down at 205 ppm. Only three types of carbon are present in roughly a 2:1:1 ratio.

6A, #4 can be divined by the proton spectrum alone. Three carbons with three types of protons. One is a triplet at the typical place you find methyl groups next to methylene protons. Nuff said...
