Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Leaning Objectives:
After study, the student will
1. Know the chemical principles behind NMR spectroscopy.
2. Know what is meant by magnetic shielding by electrons
3. Know the general set up of a NMR instrument
4. Know how much chemical shift is caused by different groups
5. Know that chemically equivalent hydrogens will give the same peak
6. Know what is integration and how it is used in NMR
7. Know what is spin-spin splitting and how it is caused by the number of protons as neighbors
8. Know what is carbon-13 NMR
9. Know how the data is collected
10. Know how different functional groups cause carbon shift
11. Know that off-resonance decoupling produces spin-spin splitting
12. This follows the n=1 rule where n is the number of hydrogens attached to the carbon.
13. Be able to use IR, Mass Spectometry, C-13 NMR and proton NMR in determination of structure of compounds
Learning Activity:
1. Read chapter 12 in Organic Chemistry, A Biological Approach by McMurry
2. Do the following problems: 27, 31, 35, 40, 50
