33 Terms

1
Quartet
A splitting pattern in NMR resulting from a hydrogen atom seeing three equivalent neighboring hydrogens.
New cards
2
Triplet
A splitting pattern in NMR resulting from a hydrogen atom seeing two equivalent neighboring hydrogens.
New cards
3
Singlet
A peak in NMR that does not split, indicating that a hydrogen atom has no neighboring equivalent hydrogens.
New cards
4
Diastereotopic Hydrogens
Hydrogens that are in different environments in a molecule, causing them to have different NMR signals.
New cards
5
Chemical Environment
The unique surroundings of an atom in a molecule, influencing its NMR signal.
New cards
6
Prochirality
A property of a molecule that can become chiral upon the replacement of a specific atom or group.
New cards
7
Magnetic Anisotropy
The variation of magnetic properties in different directions within a molecule, often affecting NMR chemical shifts.
New cards
8
Degree of Unsaturation
A measure of the number of rings and double bonds in a compound, calculated from the molecular formula.
New cards
9
Steric Hindrance
The effect of the spatial arrangement of atoms affecting the reactivity and properties of a molecule.

10

What indicates larger peaks in HNMR?

Larger peaks indicate either more chemically equivalent carbons or a greater number of hydrogen atoms attached.

New cards
11

What is the significance of an integration value of 4 or larger in HNMR?

An integration value of 4 or larger suggests more than one carbon is attached to the hydrogen associated with that peak.

New cards
12

How do hydrogen atoms appear in HNMR if not attached to a carbon?

All hydrogen atoms in a molecule will show up even if not attached to a carbon; for example, an alcohol with two carbons won't split, and other hydrogens will become a quartet.

New cards
13

What is the chemical shift range for aldehydes in HNMR?

Aldehydes typically appear in the range of 9-10 ppm.

New cards
14

What are homotopic hydrogens in 1H NMR?

Homotopic hydrogens are considered electronically equal and may show identical signals in 1H NMR.

New cards
15

What is prochirality in relation to HNMR?

Prochirality refers to hydrogens that become prochiral when one hydrogen is replaced, making a specific R or S asymmetric center.

New cards
16

What does magnetic anisotropy refer to in NMR?

Magnetic anisotropy relates to a different type of shielding where circulating electrons generate opposing magnetic fields to the external magnetic field.

New cards
17

NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Peak Representation

All hydrogens in a molecule are represented in NMR, even if not directly attached to a carbon.

New cards
18

Hydrogen Splitting Patterns

For alcohols with two carbons, they do not split; other hydrogens can appear as a quartet.

New cards
19

Integration Number Significance

A peak with an integration number higher than 4 usually indicates multiple carbons attached.

New cards
20

Chemical Shift PPM for Aldehydes

Aldehyde signals are typically found at 9-10 ppm.

New cards
21

Chemical Shift PPM for Carboxylic Acids

Carboxylic acid signals are generally located at 10-12 ppm.

New cards
22

Arene Hydrogen Peak Shift

Arene hydrogens are usually found between 6-8 ppm, depending on their environment.

New cards
23

Symmetrical Arene NMR Peaks

In a 1,4 arene, there will be two distinct peaks due to symmetry among neighboring hydrogens.

New cards
24

Multiplet Formation in Arenes

Closer hydrogens in arenes can merge into a multiplet instead of appearing as distinct peaks.

New cards
25

What are homotopic hydrogens in 1H NMR?

Homotopic hydrogens are considered electronically equal in 1H NMR.

New cards
26

What would happen if homotopic hydrogens were replaced by deuterium?

They would no longer be considered homotopic and could become prochiral.

New cards
27

What is prochirality in terms of hydrogen atoms?

Prochirality refers to the situation where replacing one hydrogen creates a specific R or S asymmetric center, resulting in an enantiomer.

New cards
28

What are diastereotopic protons?

Diastereotopic protons are formed when replacing hydrogen creates a diastereomer.

New cards
29

What is magnetic anisotropy?

Magnetic anisotropy relates to a different type of shielding in NMR, caused by circulating electrons generating an opposing magnetic field.

New cards
30

What does a peak at 3050 cm-1 indicate?

A peak at 3050 cm-1 indicates the presence of an alkene.

New cards
31

What does a peak at 2950 cm-1 signify?

A peak at 2950 cm-1 signifies the presence of CH groups.

New cards
32

What does a peak at 1690 cm-1 represent?

A peak at 1690 cm-1 represents C=O bonds.

New cards
33

What does a peak at 1520 cm-1 indicate?

A peak at 1520 cm-1 indicates the presence of C=C bonds.
