4.8.4 · D4· Chemistry › Spectroscopy & Analysis (Intro) › ¹H NMR — chemical shift, multiplicity (n + 1 rule), integrat
Shuru karne se pehle, teen words jo tumhare paas bilkul crisp hone chahiye (parent note se):
- Chemical shift — peak KAHAaN baith'ta hai, ppm mein, TMS ke relative par. Low = shielded (electron-rich); high = deshielded (electron-poor).
- Integration — peak ke neeche ka AREA, equivalent protons ki SANKHYA ke proportional. Sirf ratio matter karta hai.
- Multiplicity ( rule) — ek proton jo adjacent carbons par equivalent neighbours rakhta hai, woh lines mein split hota hai, spin–spin coupling se, aur intensities Pascal's triangle se padhte hain.
Level 1 — Recognition
Exercise 1.1
Ek molecule mein teen signals hain jinke integrals , , (arbitrary height units mein) measure hote hain. Smallest whole-number proton ratio kya hai?
Recall Solution
HUM KYA karte hain: integrals sirf relative areas dete hain, isliye har number ko smallest se divide karte hain taaki simplest whole-number ratio saamne aaye. KYUN: NMR absolute counts report nahi kar sakta; sirf ratios reliable hote hain, isliye hum normalise karte hain. Answer: . (Un groups mein six protons bhi ho sakte hain — jaise — lekin simplest ratio hai.)
Exercise 1.2
Har proton ko "shielded (low )" ya "deshielded (high )" se match karo: (a) ek alkane ka , (b) aromatic , (c) ek carboxylic acid .
Recall Solution
Rule: electron-poor surroundings electron density ko kheench lete hain, toh proton ko zyada feel karta hai → deshielded → high . Neeche ruler figure dekho.

- (a) alkane: sirf C aur H neighbours, electron-rich → shielded, .
- (b) : ring current strongly deshield karta hai → deshielded, .
- (c) : extreme electron withdrawal + H-bonding → bahut zyada deshielded, .
Level 2 — Application
Exercise 2.1
Ek proton ke equivalent neighbouring protons hain. State karo (a) multiplicity ka naam, (b) intensity pattern.
Recall Solution
KYA/KYUN: equivalent neighbours → rule se signal lines mein split hota hai. Relative intensities count karti hain ki kitne spin combinations har net field dete hain — yeh Pascal's triangle ki row hai, binomials . Sum (row total).
Exercise 2.2
Chloroethane, ka full ¹H NMR (shift ballpark, multiplicity, integral) predict karo.
Recall Solution
Do distinct proton environments: aur .
- (3H): iske sirf vicinal neighbours ke 2 protons hain → → triplet, integral . Environment: plain alkyl → .
- (2H): vicinal neighbours ke 3 protons hain → → quartet, integral . Electronegative Cl se attached (Electronegativity) → deshielded → . Spectrum: triplet (3H, ~1.5 ppm) + quartet (2H, ~3.5 ppm) — classic ethyl signature.
Level 3 — Analysis
Exercise 3.1
Formula ka ek compound dikhata hai: ek singlet (6H, ) aur kuch nahi. Ise identify karo aur singlet explain karo.
Recall Solution
Degree of unsaturation: , toh ek ring ya double bond — O ke saath yeh C=O ka hint hai. Ek single 6H singlet ka matlab hai saare chhe protons equivalent hain aur unke koi vicinal H neighbours nahi hain. Do equivalent groups, har ek kisi aisa carbon se attached jo koi H nahi rakhta, fit karta hai: acetone, .
- Singlet kyun: dono methyls ke beech ka carbonyl carbon koi proton nahi rakhta, toh → line.
- kyun: methyls C=O ke paas hain (mild deshielding), 2.0–2.5 window mein aate hain.
Exercise 3.2
Isopropyl chloride : multiplicities aur integral ratio predict karo.
Recall Solution
Do environments: chhe equivalent methyl H's aur ek akela methine (CH) H.
- (6H): har methyl ka vicinal neighbour sirf 1 methine H hai → → doublet. .
- (1H): iske vicinal neighbours 6 methyl H's hain (sab equivalent) → → septet (7 lines, ). Cl se attached → deshielded → .
- Integral ratio . Coupling ki do-taraf symmetry note karo: methyls 1 neighbour dekhte hain, CH 6 dekhta hai.
Level 4 — Synthesis
Exercise 4.1
Ek unknown sirf ek singlet deta hai. Kaun sa isomer hai — 1,1-dichloroethane ya 1,2-dichloroethane — aur kyun?
Recall Solution
- 1,1-dichloroethane, : do environments ( aur ), toh yeh quartet (1H) + doublet (3H) dikhayega — singlet NAHI.
- 1,2-dichloroethane, : symmetry se saare 4 protons equivalent hain (har identical hai). Equivalent protons ek doosre ko split nahi karte → ek singlet. Answer: 1,2-dichloroethane, singlet (4H) par (Cl se deshielded).
Exercise 4.2
Ethyl acetate, ka ¹H NMR fingerprint design karo: har signal shift, multiplicity, aur integral ke saath list karo.
Recall Solution
Teen distinct environments (acetyl isolated hai; ethyl aur ek doosre se couple karte hain):
| Group | Neighbours () | Multiplicity | Integral | (ppm) | Shift kyun |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (acetyl) | 0 | singlet | 3 | ~2.0 | C=O ke paas, koi vicinal H nahi |
| 3 (ethyl ke) | quartet | 2 | ~4.1 | O se attached → strongly deshielded | |
| 2 ( ke) | triplet | 3 | ~1.3 | plain alkyl | |
| Fingerprint: singlet(3H, 2.0) + quartet(2H, 4.1) + triplet(3H, 1.3). Isolated acetyl singlet tell-tale hai; quartet+triplet ethyl pair hai. |
Level 5 — Mastery
Exercise 5.1
Ek neutral compound exactly deta hai: ek singlet (3H, ), aur aromatic signals jo 5H integrate karte hain – ke paas. Structure deduce karo aur har signal justify karo.
Recall Solution
Step 1 — degrees of unsaturation: . Paanch degrees = benzene ring ka strong hint (4: teen C=C + ek ring) aur ek aur (ek C=O). Step 2 — integrals padhna: total observed H , se match karta hai. 5H aromatic block ka matlab hai mono-substituted benzene (, paanch ring H's). Step 3 — 3H singlet at 2.6: teen equivalent H, koi vicinal neighbours nahi ( → singlet), mildly deshielded → ek kisi aise carbon se attached jo koi H nahi rakhta. C=O ke paas shift fit karta hai. Assemble: = acetophenone.
- Aromatic 5H, –: ring current deshields karta hai; ortho H's carbonyl se aur downfield push hote hain.
- 3H singlet, : isolated methyl C=O ke adjacent.
Exercise 5.2
Do isomers : 1-propanol aur 2-propanol . Sirf multiplicity aur integration use karke (exchangeable OH ignore karo), decide karo kaunsa spectrum kiska hai.
Recall Solution
OH ignore karo (broad, exchangeable — neeche trap dekho). 1-propanol — teen carbon environments:
- (3H): 2 vicinal H → triplet.
- middle (2H): 3 + 2 = 5 non-equivalent vicinal H → ek complex multiplet (sextet-like).
- (2H): 2 vicinal H → triplet, deshielded (). Carbon-H integral pattern (OH exclude karke) . 2-propanol — do carbon environments:
- (6H): 1 vicinal H (CH) → doublet.
- (1H): 6 vicinal H → septet, deshielded (). Carbon-H integral pattern (OH exclude karke) . Decision: jo spectrum 6H doublet + 1H septet dikhata hai woh 2-propanol hai; jo spectrum do triplets ek central multiplet ke around (3:2:2) dikhata hai woh 1-propanol hai.
