Question
The NMR spectrum of a compound can reveal whether the atoms within the molecule are
equivalent or different. For example, the hydrogen atoms in CH2=CH2 are equivalent:
they all exist in an identical environment. However, in CH2=CHCI, the two hydrogen
atoms attached to the same carbon atom are equivalent, but different from the hydrogen
atom on the other carbon atom. Predict how many different types of hydrogen atoms can
be identified in the 1H NMR spectrum of each of the following molecules:
(а)
C2H2
(b)
cis-C2H2C12
(c)
trans-C2H2Cl2
(d)
CH3OH
In the molecule C2H5C1, the hydrogen atoms would all be different if the
(e)
molecule existed in only one conformation. However, only two types of hydrogen atoms
are detected. Propose an explanation.
