Description: Several NMR problems. Two are conceptual and the rest are structure determination.
Total Problems: 7
N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is shown below. Based on its structure, you might expect to see only one -CH3 signal in the 1H NMR spectrum. But instead DMF shows two different -CH3 signals. Explain.
The proton NMR of cyclohexane gives only one peak when the NMR is run at room temperature.
But when the temperature is lowered to -100 ºC the proton NMR spectrum shows two peaks. Explain.
Using your knowledge of 1H NMR, predict the NMR spectrum for the compound below. (draw out the spectrum you would expect to see). Be sure to include:
The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of a compound with chemical formula C10H14O are shown below. The compound's IR spectrum shows a broad peak at 3,300 cm-1. Determine the structure of this compound.
The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of a compound with chemical formula C4H6O2 are shown below. The compound's IR spectrum shows a sharp peak at 1,700 cm-1. Determine the structure of this compound.
The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of an unknown compound are shown below. The compound's mass spectrum shows a molecular ion with m/z ratio of 86. Determine the structure of this compound.
The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of an unknown compound are shown below. The compound's mass spectrum shows a molecular ion with m/z ratio of 122. Determine the structure of this compound.
