Transcript Modern C-13 NMR Spectroscopy

Advanced NMR Topics
Second Order Effects in NMR
• Splitting does not follow N+1; cannot be
solved graphically
– Different intensities
– Additional peaks
– Cannot directly measure coupling constants
Causes of Second Order Spectra
• Strong Coupling
• Virtual Coupling
• Magnetic nonequivalence
Strong Coupling
• Compare coupling constant (J) to
difference in shift (Dn)
• If Dn < 5J, then second order
• Simplified by higher field
instrument
• 60MHz: Dn=0.3ppm(60Hz/ppm)
= 18Hz; J= 18 Hz
• 360MHz:Dn=0.3ppm(360Hz/ppm)
= 108Hz; J= 18 Hz
Pople Coupling Nomenclature
• Spin system named by how close protons are in
shift: A, M, X
• AX2 system: one proton coupled to two protons
with distant chemical shift (first order)
• AB2 system: one proton coupled to two protons
with similar shift (second order)
• AMX3: one proton coupled to one proton
coupled to three protons, all distant chemical
shift (first order)

Virtual Coupling
Magnetic Equivalence
• Chemical
equivalence
• Magnetic
equivalence
• AA’BB’ system:
disubstituted
benzene
• Deceptively
simple spectra
Modern C-13 NMR Spectroscopy
C-13 Sensitivity
• Only 1% natural abundance
• Split by protons
• 13C/1H J = 125 Hz for sp3 carbon
• Solution to problem: Broadband Decoupling
– No splitting observed
– Increases signal
DEPT NMR
• Distorsionless Enhancement by Polarization
Transfer
• Transfer signal from protons to carbon
2D NMR
• 2 basic experiments – COSY and HETCOR
• COSY
– H-H Correlation spectroscopy
– 1H spectra on x and y axes
• HETCOR
– Heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy
– 13C on one axis, 1H on the other (same sample)
• There are many more 2D experiments – these
are two of the most common
Reading a COSY
spectrum
• X-axis = 1H
spectrum
• Y-axis = 1H
spectrum
• Diagonal =
reference points
(mirror plane:
C=D)
• Off-diagonal
peaks = coupled
protons

How to read a
HETCOR spectrum
• X-axis = 13C
spectrum
• Y-axis = 1H
spectrum
• No diagonal (no
mirror plane)
• Peaks indicate a
13C and the 1H’s
directly
attached to it.

In the C-13
spectrum, which
carbon signal is
furthest upfield?
From induction, we
might think that it
is carbon 1, but…

– Finding
overlapping
proton signals
– Identifying
diasteriotopic
carbon and
protons atoms

Note: These NMR spectra were obtained in a solvent in which
acidic protons are visible, and coupling to these protons is
observed.
