Organic Chemistry Second Edition David Klein Chapter 16 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

2 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
What is spectroscopy? Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy may be the most powerful method of gaining structural information about organic compounds NMR involves an interaction between electromagnetic radiation (light) and the nucleus of an atom We will focus on C and H nuclei. WHY? The structure (connectivity) of a molecule affects how the radiation interacts with each nucleus in the molecule Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

3 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
Protons and neutrons in a nucleus behave as if they are spinning If the total number of neutrons and protons is an ODD number, the atoms will have net nuclear spin Examples: The spinning charge in the nucleus creates a magnetic moment We saw in Chapter 15 how a dipole moment creates an electric field What does a magnetic moment create? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

4 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
Like a bar magnet, a magnetic moment exists perpendicular to the axis of nuclear spin Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

5 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
If the normally disordered magnetic moments of atoms are exposed to an external magnetic field, their magnetic moments will align Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

6 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
The aligned magnetic moments can be either with or against the external magnetic field The α and β spin states are not equal in energy. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

7 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
When an atom with an α spin state is exposed to radio waves of just the right energy, it can be promoted to a β spin state The stronger the magnetic field, the greater the energy gap Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

8 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
The magnetic moment of the electrons generally reduces the affect of the external field The more shielded a nucleus is with electron density, the smaller the α  β energy gap. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

9 16.1 Intro to NMR Spectroscopy
The amount of radio wave energy necessary for the α  β energy transition depends on the electronic environment for the atom When the α spins are flipped to β spins, the atoms are said to be in resonance The use of the term, “resonance” here is totally different from when we are talking about electrons in molecular orbitals How does NMR spectroscopy tell us about molecular structure? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

10 16.2 Acquiring a 1H NMR Spectrum
NMR requires a strong magnetic field and radio wave energy The strength of the magnetic field affects the energy gap Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

11 16.2 Acquiring a 1H NMR Spectrum
The strong magnetic field is created when a high current is passed through a superconducting material at extremely low temperature (≈4 Kelvin) The greater the current, the greater the magnetic field In most current NMR instruments, a brief pulse of radio energy (all relevant wavelengths) is used to excite the sample Each of the atoms is excited and then relaxes, emitting energy The emitted energy is recorded as a free induction decay (FID) Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

12 16.2 Acquiring a 1H NMR Spectrum
The FID contains all of the information for each atom A mathematical treatment called a Fourier-transform separates the signals so an individual signal can be observed for each atom that was excited Such an instrument is called an FT-NMR Often multiple FIDs are taken and averaged together Before analysis, NMR samples must be prepared neat or in a liquid solution and placed in a small NMR tube The sample is placed into the magnetic field and the tube is spun at a high rate to average magnetic field variations or tube imperfections Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13 16.2 Acquiring a 1H NMR Spectrum
Solvents are used such as chloroform-d. WHY? The magnet is super-cooled, but the sample is generally at room temp Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

14 16.3 Characteristics of a 1H NMR Spectrum
NMR spectra contain a lot of structural information Number of signals Signal location – shift Signal area – integration Signal shape – splitting pattern Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

15 16.4 Number of Signals Protons with different electronic environments will give different signals Protons that are homotopic will have perfectly overlapping signals Protons are homotopic if the molecule has an axis of rotational symmetry that allows one proton to be rotated onto the other without changing the molecule Find the rotational axis of symmetry in each molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

16 16.4 Number of Signals Another test for homotopic protons is to replace the protons one at a time with another atom If the resulting compounds are identical, then the protons that you replaced are homotopic Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

17 16.4 Number of Signals Protons that are enantiotopic will also have perfectly overlapping signals Protons are enantiotopic if the molecule has a plane of reflection that makes one proton the mirror image of the other Find the mirror plane that splits each molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

18 16.4 Number of Signals The replacement test is universal
It will work to identify any equivalents protons whether they are homotopic or enantiotopic If the resulting compounds are enantiomers, then the protons that you replaced are enantiotopic Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

19 16.4 Number of Signals If the protons are neither homotopic nor enantiotopic, then the are NOT chemically equivalent Perform the replacement test on the protons shown in the molecule below How would you describe the relationship between the protons shown? Practice with SkillBuilder 16.1 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

21 16.4 Number of Signals There are some shortcuts you can take to identify how many signals you should see in the 1H NMR The 2 protons on a CH2 group will be equivalent if there are NO chirality centers in the molecule The 2 protons on a CH2 group will NOT be equivalent if there is a chirality center in the molecule Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22 16.4 Number of Signals There are some shortcuts you can take to identify how many signals you should see in the 1H NMR The 3 protons on any methyl group will always be equivalent to each other Multiple protons are equivalent if they can be interchanged through either a rotation or mirror plane Practice with SkillBuilder 16.2 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

23 16.4 Number of Signals Identify all the groups of equivalent protons in the molecules below and describe their relationships Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

24 16.4 Number of Signals Recall that cyclohexane chairs have 6 equitorial and 6 axial protons Do the axial and equitorial protons have different electronic environments? Try the replacement test for an axial/equitorial pair How many signals should you see for the molecule in the 1H NMR? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

25 16.4 Number of Signals At room temperature, the chair interconversion occurs rapidly The NMR is not fast enough to see the individual structures, so the average is observed (1 signal) What might you expect to see if the temperature of the NMR sample were brought down to -100 C? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

26 16.5 Chemical Shifts Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is used as the standard for NMR chemical shift In many NMR solvents, 1% TMS is added as an internal standard The shift for a proton signal is calculated as a comparison to TMS For benzene on a 300 MHz instrument Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

27 16.5 Chemical Shifts The shift for a proton signal is calculated as a comparison to TMS For benzene on a 60 MHz instrument The Hz of the signal is different in different instruments, but the shift relative to TMS (δ) is constant Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

28 16.5 Chemical Shifts The shift for a proton signal is calculated as a comparison to TMS The shift relative to TMS (δ) is a dimensionless number, because the Hz units cancel out Units for δ are often given as ppm (parts per million), which simply indicates that signals are reported as a fraction of the operating frequency of the spectrometer Most 1H signals appear between 0-10 ppm Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

29 16.5 Chemical Shifts Early NMRs analyzed samples at a constant energy over a range of magnetic field strengths from low field strength = downfield to high field strength = upfield Shielded protons required a stronger external magnetic field to be excited at the same energy as deshielded protons. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

30 16.5 Chemical Shifts Current NMRs analyze samples at a constant field strength over a range of energies Shielded protons have a smaller magnetic force acting on them, so they have smaller energy gaps and absorb lower energy radio waves Higher Energy Lower Energy Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

31 16.5 Chemical Shifts Alkane protons generally give signals around 1-2 ppm Protons can be shifted downfield when nearby electronegative atoms cause deshielding. HOW? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

32 16.5 Chemical Shifts To predict chemical shifts, start with the standard ppm for the type of proton (methyl, methylene, or methine) Use table 16.1 to adjust the ppm depending on proximity to certain function groups Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

33 16.5 Chemical Shifts Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

34 16.5 Chemical Shifts Handbooks can be used for functional groups beyond table 16.1 Practice with SkillBuilder 16.3 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

35 16.5 Chemical Shifts Predict chemical shifts for all of the protons in the molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

36 16.5 Chemical Shifts Predict chemical shifts for all of the protons in the molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

37 16.5 Chemical Shifts When the electrons in a pi system are subjected to an external magnetic field, they circulate a great deal causing diamagnetic anisotropy Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

38 16.5 Chemical Shifts Diamagnetic anisotropy means that different regions in space will have different magnetic strengths Why are some regions more shielded than others? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

39 16.5 Chemical Shifts The result of the diamagnetic anisotropy effect is similar to deshielding for aromatic protons. What about the other protons? Why does it appear that only one signal is given for all of the aromatic protons? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

42 16.6 Integration The integration or area under the peak quantifies the relative number of protons giving rise to a signal A computer will calculate the area of each peak representing that area with a step-curve The curve height represents the integration Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

43 16.6 Integration The computer operator sets one of the peaks to a whole number to let it represent a number of protons The computer uses the integration ratios to set the values for the other peaks 1.48 1.56 1.00 1.05 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

44 16.6 Integration Integrations represent numbers of protons, so you must adjust the values to whole numbers If the integration of the first peak is doubled, the computer will adjust the others according to the ratio 2.96 3.12 2.00 2.10 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

45 16.6 Integration The integrations are relative quantities rather than an absolute count of the number of protons Predict the 1H shifts and integrations for tert-butyl methyl ether Symmetry can also affect integrations Predict the 1H shifts and integrations for 3-pentanone Practice with SkillBuilder 16.4 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

47 16.7 Multiplicity When a signal is observed in the 1H NMR, often it is split into multiple peaks Multiplicity or a splitting patterns results Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

48 16.7 Multiplicity Multiplicity results from magnetic affects that protons have on each other Consider protons Ha and Hb We already saw that protons align with or against the external magnetic field Hb will be aligned with the magnetic field in some molecules. Other molecules in the sample will have Hb aligned against the magnetic field Some Hb atoms have a slight shielding affect on Ha and others have a slight deshielding affect Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

49 16.7 Multiplicity The resulting multiplicity or splitting pattern for Ha is a doublet A doublet generally results when a proton is split by only one other proton on an adjacent carbon Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

50 16.7 Multiplicity Consider an example where there are two protons on the adjacent carbon There are three possible affects the Hb protons have on Ha Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

51 16.7 Multiplicity Half of the Ha atoms will not experience a signal shift. WHY? ¼ of the Ha atoms will be shielded and ¼ deshielded Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

52 16.7 Multiplicity Ha appears as a triplet WHY?
The three peaks in the triplet have an integration ratio of 1:2:1 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

53 16.7 Multiplicity Consider a scenario where Ha has three equivalent Hb atoms splitting it Explain how the magnetic fields cause shielding or deshielding Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

54 16.7 Multiplicity Ha appears as a quartet
What should the integration ratios be for the 4 peaks of the quartet? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

56 16.7 Multiplicity Table 16.3 shows how the multiplicity trend continues By analyzing the splitting pattern of a signal in the 1H NMR, you can determine the number of equivalent protons on adjacent carbons Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

57 16.7 Multiplicity The trend in table 16.3 also allows us to predict splitting patterns Explain how the n+1 rule is used Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

58 16.7 Multiplicity Remember three key rules
Equivalent protons can not split one another Predict the splitting patterns observed for 1,2-dichloroethane To split each other, protons must be within a 2 or 3 bond distance Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

59 16.7 Multiplicity Remember three key rules
The n+1 rule only applies to protons that are all equivalent The splitting pattern observed for the proton shown below will be more complex than a simple triplet Complex splitting will be discussed later in this section Practice with SkillBuilder 16.5 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

60 16.7 Multiplicity Predict splitting patterns for all of the protons in the molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

61 16.7 Multiplicity The degree to which a neighboring proton will shield or deshield its neighbor is called a coupling constant The coupling constant or J value is the distance between peaks of a splitting pattern measured in units of Hz When protons split each other, their coupling constants will be equal Jab = Jba Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

62 16.7 Multiplicity The coupling constant will be constant even if an NMR instrument with a stronger or weaker magnetic field is used Higher field strength instruments will give better resolution between peaks, because the coupling constant is a smaller percentage of the overall Hz available Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

63 16.7 Multiplicity Sometimes recognizable splitting patterns will stand out in a spectrum An isolated ethyl group gives a triplet and a quartet Note the integrations The triplet and quartet must have the same coupling constant if they are splitting each other Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

64 16.7 Multiplicity A peak with an integration equal to 9 suggests the presence of a tert-butyl group An isolated isopropyl group gives a doublet and a septet Note the integrations Practice with conceptual checkpoint 16.17 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

67 16.7 Multiplicity Complex splitting results when a proton is split by NONequivalent neighboring protons If Jab is much greater than Jbc, the signal will appear as a quartet of triplets In the molecule shown, Hb is split into a quartet by Ha and into a triplet by Hc Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

68 16.7 Multiplicity Complex splitting results when a proton is split by NONequivalent neighboring protons If Jbc is much greater than Jab, the signal will appear as a triplet of quartets If Jbc is similar to Jab, the signal will appear as a multiplet Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

69 16.7 Multiplicity Complex splitting results when a proton is split by NONequivalent neighboring protons Predict the splitting patterns for (S)-pent-2-en-4-ol If Jbc is equal to Jab, what type of patterns will be observed? Practice with conceptual checkpoint 16.18 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

70 Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

71 16.7 Multiplicity Splitting is not observed for some protons. Consider ethanol The protons bonded to carbon split each other, but the hydroxyl proton is not split Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

72 16.7 Multiplicity The hydroxyl proton and other labile or exchangeable protons undergo rapid exchange with trace amounts of acid. Show a reasonable mechanism Such exchange blurs the shielding/deshielding affect of the neighboring protons giving a singlet that is often broadened If ethanol is rigorously purified to remove traces of acid, then hydroxyl proton splitting is generally observed Aldehyde protons also often appear as singlet because their coupling constants are sometimes too small to cause observable splitting Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

73 16.7 Multiplicity Signals for exchangeable protons such as those shown below disappear completely when the 1H NMR sample is prepared for analysis in a deuterated solvent such as chloroform-d. WHY? Protic compounds have exchangeable protons Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

74 16.8 Predicting Expected 1H Spectra for a Compound
Predict the chemical shift, integration, and splitting patterns for all of the protons in the following molecule Draw a spectrum for the molecule Practice with SkillBuilder 16.6 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

75 16.9 Using 1H Spectra to Distinguish Between Compounds
The three molecules below might be difficult to distinguish by IR or MS. WHY? Explain how 1H NMR could distinguish between them Practice with SkillBuilder 16.7 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

76 16.9 Using 1H Spectra to Distinguish Between Compounds
Explain how 1H NMR could be used to distinguish between the two molecules below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

77 16.10 Analyzing a 1H NMR Spectrum
With a given formula and 1H NMR spectrum, you can determine a molecule’s structure by a 4-step process Calculate the degree or unsaturation or hydrogen deficiency index (HDI). What does the HDI tell you? Consider the number of NMR signals and integration to look for symmetry in the molecule Analyze each signal, and draw molecular fragments that match the shift, integration, and multiplicity Assemble the fragments into a complete structure like puzzle pieces Practice with SkillBuilder 16.8 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

78 16.10 Analyzing a 1H NMR Spectrum
Consider the data below, and propose a structure for the molecule The formula is C7H13Cl 1H NMR data: δ 5.3 (dq 1H); 5.1 (d 1H); 3.4 (s 2H); 2.0 (d 3H); 1.0 (s 6H) Calculate HDI Consider the number of NMR signals and integration to look for symmetry in the molecule Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

80 16.11 Acquiring a 13C NMR Spectrum
Because 1H is by far the most abundant isotope of hydrogen, 1H NMR signals are generally strong 13C only accounts for about 1% of carbon atoms in nature, so a sensitive receiver coil and/or concentrated NMR sample is needed In 1H NMR, shift, splitting, and integration are important In 13C NMR, only the number of signals and the shift will be considered Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

81 16.11 Acquiring a 13C NMR Spectrum
In 13C NMR, the 1H-13C splitting is often so complex that the spectrum is unreadable To elucidate the 13C spectrum and make it easier to determine the total number of 13C signals, 13C NMR are generally decoupled In the vast majority of 13C spectra, all of the signals are singlets Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

82 16.12 Chemical Shifts in 13C NMR Spectra
Compared to 1H, 13C atoms require a different frequency of energy to excite (resonate) Compared to the standard TMS, 13C NMR signals generally appear between 220 and 0 ppm Each signal on the 13C spectra represents a carbon with a unique electronic environment Planes and axes of symmetry can cause carbon signals to overlap if their electronic surroundings are equivalent Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

83 16.12 Chemical Shifts in 13C NMR Spectra
Note how symmetry affect the number of signals for the molecules above How many 13C signals should be observed for the molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

84 16.12 Chemical Shifts in 13C NMR Spectra
Like 1H signals, chemical shifts for 13C signals are affected by shielding or deshielding Practice with SkillBuilder 16.9 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

85 16.12 Chemical Shifts in 13C NMR Spectra
Predict the number of signals and chemical shifts in the 13C NMR spectrum for the molecule below Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

86 16.13 Medically Speaking MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) instruments are essentially 1H NMR spectrometers The body is analyzed rather than a sample in an NMR tube Different tissues have different concentrations of protons. WHY? The MRI gives a 3D image of different tissues. HOW? Would you expect there to be side-effects from exposure to either radio waves or a magnetic field? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

87 Additional Practice Problems
Explain why a deuterated solvent is used in NMR experiments rather than a protonated solvent. Is such a solvent necessary when analyzing 13C NMR? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
