NMR
Obtaining a 13 C NMR Spectrum 1 H Broadband decoupling –Gives singlet 13 C peaks, provided no F, P, or D present in the molecule) –Continuous sequence of pulses at the 1 H frequency causes a rapid reversal of spin orientation relative to the B 0, causing coupling to 13 C to disappear

13 C Chemical Shifts Reference is TMS, sets 0 ppm A range of 200 ppm Chemical shifts can be predicted –Empirical correlations –Ex. Alkanes i = n + 9.4n – 2.5n + 0.3n + 0.1n + Sij 2-methylbutane i = * *2 – 2.5* = 22.0 (22.3)
Signal averaging 13 C experiment generally take longer than 1 H experiments because many more FIDs need to be acquired and averaged to obtain adequate sensitivity.

NOE effect W 2 (Enhancement) dominates in small molecules Relevant for all decoupling experiments
Other more complex 1D Experiments 1 H NOE experiment Inversion Recovery Experiment; Determination of T 1 J modulated Spin Echo INEPT Experiment DEPT Experiment
Targeted 1 H Spin Decoupling Continuous irradiation at a frequency ( 2 ) that corresponds to a specific proton in the molecule during the 1 H NMR experiment All coupling associated with the protons corresponding to 2 disappears from the spectrum
