H-1 proton NMR spectroscopy -
spectra index
TMS is the acronym for tetramethylsilane, formula Si(CH3)4,
whose protons are arbitrarily given a chemical shift of 0.0 ppm.
This is the 'standard' in 1H NMR spectroscopy and all
other proton resonances, called chemical shifts, are measured
with respect to the TMS, and depend on the
individual (electronic) chemical environment of the hydrogen atoms
in an organic molecule - 1,3-dioxane here.
The chemical shifts quoted in ppm on the diagram of
the H-1 NMR spectrum of 1,3-dioxane represent the peaks of the intensity of
the chemical shifts of (which are often groups of split lines at
high resolution) AND the relative integrated areas under the peaks
gives you the ratio of protons in the different chemical
environments of the 1,3-dioxane molecule.
Interpreting the
H-1 NMR spectrum of
1,3-dioxane
In terms of spin-spin coupling from the possible proton magnetic orientations,
for 1,3-dioxane I
have only considered the interactions of
non-equivalent protons on adjacent carbon atoms
e.g. -CH2-CH2-,
protons.
For relatively simple molecules, the low
resolution H-1 NMR spectrum of 1,3-dioxane is a good starting point
(low resolution diagram above).
The hydrogen atoms (protons) of 1,3-dioxane occupy
3
different chemical environments so that the low resolution NMR
spectra should show 3 principal peaks of different H-1 NMR chemical shifts
in the ratio of 2:4:2, observed as an integrated proton
ratio of 1:2:1 (diagram above for
1,3-dioxane).
Chemical shifts (a) to (c) on the H-1 NMR
spectrum diagram for 1,3-dioxane.
Although there are 8 hydrogen atoms in the molecule,
there are only 3 possible different chemical
environments for the hydrogen atoms in 1,3-dioxane molecule.
The integrated signal proton ratio 1:2:1 observed
in the high resolution H-1 NMR spectrum, corresponds with
the structural formula of 1,3-dioxane.
The high resolution 1H NMR
spectrum of 1,3-dioxane
The high resolution spectra of 1,3-dioxane
shows 3 groups of proton resonances and in the 1:2:1 ratio expected from the
structural
formula of 1,3-dioxane.
The ppm quoted on the diagram represent the peak
of resonance intensity for a particular proton group in the
molecule of 1,3-dioxane - since the peak' is at the apex of a band of
H-1 NMR resonances due to spin - spin coupling field splitting effects - see high resolution
notes on 1,3-dioxane below.
So, using the chemical shifts and applying the
n+1 rule to
1,3-dioxane
and make some predictions using some colour coding! (In problem
solving you work the other way round!)
(a) 1H
Chemical shift 1.78 ppm, CH2 protons furthest from the oxygen
atoms
This resonance is split into a 1:4:6:4:1
quintet by the adjacent CH2 protons on either
side (n+1 = 5).
Evidence for the presence of a CH2-CHx-CH2 grouping
in the molecule of 1,3-dioxane
(b) 1H
Chemical shift 3.91 ppm, 2 x CH2 protons nearest on either
side of the oxygen atoms
This resonance is split by the adjacent
CH2 protons into a 1:2:1 triplet (n+1 = 3)
Evidence for the presence of a 2nd CH2 group
in the molecule of 1,3-dioxane
(c) 1H
Chemical shift 4.85 ppm, CH2 protons between the oxygen
atoms.
This resonance is not split because
there are no protons on an adjacent atom, these protons
are 'isolated' between the oxygen atoms.
From the proto ratio and molecular
formula, gives evidence for the presence of a 3rd group
of CH2 protons in the molecule of 1,3-dioxane
