13C nmr spectrum of but-1-ene C4H8 CH3CH2CH=CH3 analysis of chemical shifts ppm interpretation of C-13 chemical shifts ppm of 1-butene 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 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 - but-1-ene here.

Interpreting the C-13 NMR spectrum of but-1-ene

As you can see from the diagram above there are 4 different chemical shift lines in the C-13 NMR spectrum of but-1-ene indicating 4 different chemical environments of the 4 carbon atoms of but-1-ene.

H2C=CH-CH2-CH3

(Note the 4 different colours indicating the 4 different chemical environments of the 4 carbon atoms in but-1-ene).

13C chemical shifts (a) to (d) on the C-13 NMR spectrum diagram for but-1-ene.

(a) 113 ppm for the =CH2 carbon atom

(b) 140 ppm for the CH carbon atom

(c) 27 ppm for the -CH2- carbon atom

(d) 13 ppm for the -CH3 carbon atom

The carbon-13 NMR spectra provides direct evidence of 4 different carbon atom environments for the 4 carbon atoms in the but-1-ene molecule, deduced from the presence of 4 different 13C NMR chemical shifts (ppm).
