C-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane analysis of chemical shifts ppm interpretation of C-13 chemical shifts ppm of cyclopentane C13 13-C nmr doc brown's advanced organic chemistry revision notes

TMS is the acronym for tetramethylsilane, formula Si(CH₃)₄, whose ¹³C atoms are arbitrarily given a chemical shift of 0.0 ppm. This is the 'standard' in ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and all other ¹³C shifts, called chemical shifts, depend on the individual (electronic) chemical environment of the ¹³C atoms in an organic molecule - cyclopentane here.

Cyclopentane, C₅H₁₀ , , , all bond angles ~109^o, but it is NOT planar, pentagon is slightly bent.

Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectrum of cyclopentane

As you can see from the diagram above there is only one chemical shift line in the C-13 NMR spectrum of cyclopentane indicating only one different chemical environments of the carbon atoms.

The cyclopentane molecule is slightly bent (or folded), but the oscillations of the bonds in the molecule mean that over a finite period of time, any tiny individual differences in the chemical environment of the carbon atoms is averaged out, so all you see is one 13-C NMR resonance line in the spectrum of cyclopentane.

Key words & phrases: Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectra of cyclopentane, C-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane, understanding the carbon-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane, explaining the line pattern in the high resolution C-13 nmr spectra of cyclopentane, revising the C-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane, ppm chemical shifts of the C-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane, how to construct the diagram of the C-13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane, how to analyse the chemical shifts in the carbon-13 NMR spectrum of cyclopentane deducing the chemical environment of all the carbon atoms in cyclopentane examining the c13 nmr spectrum of cyclopentane analysing the 13-c nmr spectrum of cyclopentane how do you sketch and interpret the C-13 NMR spectrum of cyclopentane
