comparison of the infrared, mass, 1H NMR and 13C NMR
spectra of the four isomers of C4H9I
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 resonances, called chemical shifts, are measured with
respect to the TMS, and depend on the
individual (electronic) chemical environment of the 13C atoms in
an organic molecule - 1-iodo-2-methylpropane here.

Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectrum of 1-iodo-2-methylpropane
As you can see from the diagram above there are
3 different δ chemical shift lines in the C-13 NMR spectrum of
1-iodo-2-methylpropane
indicating 3 different chemical environments of the 4 carbon
atoms of 1-iodo-2-methylpropane.
(CH3)2CHCH2I
(Note the 3 different colours indicating the
3 different chemical environments of the 4 carbon atoms in
1-iodo-2-methylpropane).
13C chemical shifts δ (a) to (c) on the C-13 NMR
spectrum diagram for 1-iodo-2-methylpropane.
(a)
(CH3)2CHCH2I
: 13C NMR chemical shift of δ 22.6 ppm for the
carbon atoms of the methyl groups - these two are equivalent
carbon atoms - same chemical environment - same chemical shift.
(b)
(CH3)2CHCH2I
: 13C NMR chemical shift δ of 30.5 ppm for the CH
group carbon atom.
(c)
(CH3)2CHCH2I
: 13C NMR chemical shift δ of 18.5 ppm for the CH2
group
carbon atom
The carbon-13 NMR spectra provides direct evidence of
3 different carbon atom environments for the 4 carbon atoms in the
1-iodo-2-methylpropane molecule,
deduced from the presence of 4 different 13C NMR chemical
shifts (ppm).

Comparing the infrared, mass, 1H NMR and 13C NMR
spectra of the 4 halogenoalkane isomers of C4H9I
NOTE: The images are linked to their
original detailed spectral analysis pages AND can be doubled in
size with touch screens to
increase the definition to the original 1-iodobutane,
2-iodobutane, 1-iodo-2-methylpropane and 2-iodo-2-methylpropane
image sizes. These four molecules
are structural isomers of molecular formula C4H9I
and
exemplify the infrared, mass, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of lower
aliphatic halogenoalkanes (haloalkanes, alkyl halides,
iodoalkanes, alkyl iodides). |

INFRARED SPECTRA
(above):
Apart from the significant differences in the fingerprint region at
wavenumbers 1500 to 400 cm-1, there are no other
great striking differences, but each could be identified from
its infrared spectrum. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
MASS SPECTRA (above):
All four give the parent molecular ion of m/z 184, but it is
only a relatively tiny peak for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane. All four
give the base ion peak of m/z 57. All four give prominent peaks
for m/z ions 29 and 41 and all give a tiny peak from an ionised
iodine atom at m/z 127. They look quite similar to me and lack a
clear fingerprint fragmentation pattern. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
1H NMR SPECTRA (above): The 1H NMR spectra of
all three molecules give different proton ratios i.e.1-iodobutane
four peaks 3:2:2:2, 2-iodobutane four peaks 3:3:2:1,
1-iodo-2-methylpropane three peaks 6:2:1 and
2-iodo-2-methylpropane one peak '1' (effectively no ratio
involved), so all four molecular structures can be distinguished from each other by their
1H NMR spectra proton ratios, numbers of peaks and (n+1)
rule splitting patterns. |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
|
13C NMR SPECTRA
(above): The
13C NMR spectra of the four molecules show various numbers of
carbon-13 chemical environments i.e 1-iodobutane and
2-iodobutane show four 13C NMR resonances,
1-iodo-2-methylpropane three 13C NMR resonances and
2-iodo-2-methylpropane only two 13C resonances. Therefore
1-iodo-2-methylpropane and 2-iodo-2-methylpropane can be
distinguished from the other three by their number of resonances
in their 13C NMR spectra, but 1-iodobutane and 2-iodobutane
cannot be distinguished from each other from their number of 13C
NMR resonance lines - other data would be required. |
