Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Reason for no coupling between the ‘a’ and ‘c’ protons or between the ‘b’ and ‘c’ protons in the cis and trans
Concept introduction:
The distance between the adjacent peaks obtained from the splitting of an NMR signal is known as coupling constant. It is denoted by J and I measured in Hertz. The coupling constant is useful when the interpretation of a complex NMR spectrum has to be done. The value of the coupling constant is independent of the operating frequency of the spectrometer.
The coupling constant can be used to distinguish between the cis and trans isomer of the compound. The trans isomer has a higher value of coupling constant than the cis isomer. The coupling constant is generally very low for long-range coupling and is too small to visualize.

- How do you assign R or S to a molecule when the lowest-priority group is not oriented toward the back, on a dashed wedge?arrow_forwardFor each of the following molecular structures, circle each of the stereocenters (if any) that the molecule has then write the number corresponding to the same (# of stereocenters) in the box provided.arrow_forwardIII. In each of the given compounds, identify the protons that are chemically equivalent by encircling and labelling the protons with letters. (See picture attached).arrow_forward
- 1. The energy of a photon is. proportional to its wavelength and proportional to its frequency. (directly or indirectly) 2. Which of the following has a lower characteristic stretching frequency, the C O bond or the C-O bond? Explain briefly. C=0 3. Ethyne HCECH does not show IR absorption in the region 2000-2500 em-! because. 4. Which statement best explains why a carbonyl absorbs infrared radiation at a higher frequency than an alkene absorption?arrow_forwardCan you explain spectroscopy? Let's start with NMR Spectroscopy. What is the difference between a proton being enantiotopic and homotopic? What does it mean for a proton to be shielded or deshielded? How do you determine J (the coupling constant)? What does 'coupling is mutual' mean? How is that translated on the NMS Spectroscopy spectrum? Does that have to do with the polarity of the molecule? Is there an easier way to explain that? When thinking about C-13 NRM Spectroscopy, what it meant by the statement, "the carbons cannot integrate"? When looking at an NMR Spectroscopy spectrum, how do you know which peak belongs to which proton? (The intensity of the peak and the ppm of the peak) P.S. These questions come from after watching a lecture. There is no graded assignment attached to these questions. I simply do not understand the material.arrow_forwardMatch each compound with the corresponding number of sets of equivalent protons.

- 3. Evaluate the following related species which are all planar or nearly so. One is aromatic, one First determine the number of p-n electrons available in each, antiaromatic, and one is non-aromatic. then tell which is aromatic, which anti-aromatic, which non-aromatic. H H C5H5 C5H6 C5H5* p-n electrons? arom/anti-arom/non-aromarrow_forwardAccording to the conventions above, what is the sign ( + or ) of the P.E. change (H) for Rxn 3?arrow_forwardTrue or false: Any substituent of a benzene ring that has a lone electron pair will always be a ortho-para operator.arrow_forward
- In the first picture, give the absolute configuration (Use D/L for left molecule and R/S for the right molecule. In the second picture, rank the groups (A,B,C,D) according to how they would be ranked when determining absolute configuration with R/S.arrow_forwardI am having trouble with the park where we determine what kind of peak each group of H's are. I am confused about counting nieghbors. Do I count every carbon thats right next to each carbon , how far do I count? Like for the group I that I marked with purple, I counted 3 adjacent carbons, but it says its a triplet. And the one labeled as a nonet ( 9 peaks ) , I dont understand where 9 came from. Can someone explain how to correctly count neighbors?arrow_forwardConsider the protons that are in the position ortho- to the amine group in the structure shown below. Will these protons be shifted upfield or downfield relative to protons on an unsubstituted benzene ring?arrow_forward
