Proton NMR Symmetry: Number of chemically different protons Chemical Shift: Chemical environment of protons Integration: Ratio of protons Splitting Patterns: arrangement of neighboring protons Last page and next two weeks of lab lectures Elemental Analysis the empirical formula Remember, in order to calculate the empirical formula, you need to take the percentages from the elemental analysis and assume these are gram amounts which need to be converted to moles (because formulas are mole ratios). Ex. Calculate the empirical formula for a compound whose elemental analysis is the following: %C = % = %O = What next? %C = 68.31/ = % = 11.47/1.008 = %O = 20.22/16.00 = What next? %C = 68.31/ = 5.687/1.264 = % = 11.47/1.008 = /1.264 = %O = 20.22/16.00 = 1.264/1.264 = 1

2 What do you do when the value comes up at a half, as in 4.5 or 2.5? Multiply all of your values by by 2 Empirical Formula: C 9 18 O 2 (MW of 158 g/mol) What do you do if you have a third (as in ) or two thirds ( )? Multiply all by 3! There are only three options when you do the math: (a) it should result in perfect or almost perfect whole numbers, (b) possible half values (multiply by 2) or (c) or possibly thirds (one-third or two thirds values multiply by 3). Anything else is a sure sign of a mathematical error! Formulas are helpful when determining structures. Not so much the empirical formula - being only the smallest whole number ratio, it doesn t contain all of the atoms in the molecule you are studying so it is better to know the molecular formula before determining a structure. When you know the molecular formula, you can have some added guidance by being able to determine a possible structure. The Unsaturation Number (or Degrees of Unsaturation) can be calculated from the molecular formula. Remember that every degree of unsaturation is equivalent to a loss of 2 hydrogen atoms from the maximum allowed in an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. This occurs every time there is a ring structure or a pi bond (double bond has one pi bond, triple bond has two pi bonds). ow many unsaturations in: O N 2 Two rings (2), 7 pi bonds = 9 unsaturations. Each of the following has two degrees of unsaturations, and fit the formula C610O: O O O O To calculate the Unsaturation Number (degree of unsaturations) from a formula: #C ½(# + #X) + ½(#N) + 1 Calculate the number of unsaturations in: C 12 16INO 2 2

3 UN = 12 ½(17) + ½(1) + 1 = = 5 Always helpful to keep in mind: if your molecular formula results in an Unsaturation Number of 4 or greater, there s a very strong chance that you have an aromatic ring in your structure (ring structure plus three pi bonds). It is also always helpful to calculate this information as soon as you have a formula as it may prevent you from making incorrect assumptions. Consider C818O 2 with two oxygen atoms, you may automatically jump to the conclusion that you have a carboxylic acid or ester functional group but when you calculate the UN (= 0), you realize that neither of these functional groups are possible, as they both have one unsaturation in their structure. O O O 1 unsaturation OR Perhaps you have two alcohols or an alcohol and an ether: O O no unsaturations To determine the molecular formula, we will need to discuss mass spectroscopy. Mass Spectroscopy: Purpose: Determination of a compound s molecular weight (as well as structural information) ere s the basic process: A small sample to be studied is vaporized then ionized by being bombarded by high energy electrons (like the molecule was zapped with a lightning bolt). The energy of the electrons in that lightning bolt correspond to >1000 kcal/mol of energy. Under these conditions, the organic molecule is destroyed, breaking into a number of fragments and we can use the fragmentation to help us determine structural information. When the high-energy electron (e - ) impacts an organic molecule (M), one of the molecule s valence electrons (e - ) is ejected, resulting in the formation of an ion call the Molecular Ion (M + ): M + e - M + + e - + e - This new ion is a radical cation. A radical is a species that contains an unpaired electron (but is neutral in charge) and a cation is a species missing an electron, resulting in an overall positive charge. 3

4 Once this happens, the molecular ion can then begin to fragment to give a number of other cations and neutral, radical species. These fragments are then passed through a magnetic field where they are separated and detected according to mass. Only the charged species (cations) can be detected by mass spectroscopy since neutral species (radicals) cannot be affected by the magnetic field. Technically, we are actually measuring the mass to charge ratio (m/z, where m = mass and z = charge) for each ion but since the charge is virtually almost always +1, this really is simply the mass of the fragment. The Molecular Ion: The molecular ion is still the entire molecule, minus only one electron, the weight of which is negligible, thus the weight of the molecular ion equates to the molecular weight of the entire molecule. Shown below is the mass spectrum for Butane. Knowing that carbon weighs 12 and hydrogen atoms weigh 1 each, butane (C410) has a molecular weight of 58. Find the molecular ion (M + ) peak that corresponds to the MW. The mass spectrum graph is a plot of Mass-to-Charge Ratio, m/z, (X axis) versus Abundance (Y axis). Mass-to-Charge Ratio can be simplified to mass of fragment since the charge on each is +1. Abundance is the relative number of times that each fragment passed through the detector. The more often the fragment formed and passed by, the larger the abundance for the fragment (the larger the peak ). 4

5 Fragmentation occurs when the molecular ion is produced with sufficient internal energy to cause spontaneous dissociation. This is similar to the spontaneous dissociation of water in the dehydration of an alcohol to form a stable carbocation. Fragmentation occurs in a logical fashion to form stable intermediates, both cations and radicals. Tertiary systems are more stable than secondary and these are more stable than primary. The fragments that we see on the spectrum are called daughter peaks. The largest peak on the spectrum is called the Base Peak, whose relative intensity is set to 100 ( 999 on the table on your unknown s spectrum). The base peak MAY be the same as the molecular ion but more often than not, they are different peaks. Notice the large number of peaks found to the left of the molecular ion those are from the fragment ions that formed. Note the tiny peak at m/z = 59? This is called an M+1 peak (one amu higher than the molecular ion). ow did TAT get in there? What weighs more than the entire molecule? To understand this, we need a little reminder on isotopes Isotopes are atoms of a particular element that differ in their number of neutrons. The atomic masses we see on the period table are actually the weighted average of all isotopes based on their percentages (natural abundance) and masses (variation caused by differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus), for any given element. 5

6 ere is a table summarizing mass and natural abundance for several isotopes relevant to organic molecules and mass spectroscopy: Isotope Atomic Mass Natural Abundance (%) (D) C C N N O O O F Cl Cl Br Br I The most important atoms in organic molecules include carbon ( 12 C), hydrogen ( 1 ), oxygen ( 16 O) and nitrogen ( 14 N). These each have one major isotope. These isotopes are the only isotopes found in the molecular ion. owever, carbon-13 is abundant enough (1.1%) that it can be observed on a mass spectra. Thus the M+1 peak in the mass spectrum of butane is due to the relatively small number of butane molecules where one of the four carbon atoms is a carbon-13 isotope, instead of carbon-12. C3C2C2C3 MW = 58 C3C2C2C3 MW = 59 (1 13 C isotope indicated) The chance of most molecules having two 13 C isotopes is extremely small so you ll never see an M+2 caused by two 13 C isotopes. The instrument could never detect that microscopic percentage. Thus you won t see a peak for M+2 caused by carbon-13 isotopes. OWEVER, there is something called an M+2 that occurs and its caused by chlorine and bromine atoms. These show significant M+2 peaks in their mass spectra as they have alternative isotopes that are relatively abundant. As a result, we can use mass spectroscopy to detect and determine the presence and identity of chlorine and bromine in organic molecules. Consider a molecule like bromomethane, C3Br. The natural abundance for bromine shows the two isotopes ( 79 Br and 81 Br) are present in almost a 1:1 ratio (50.7 : 49.3). This means you should have two peaks (M +. and M+2) of almost equal intensity. 6

7 M +. is the molecular ion that contains all of the atoms (standard isotopes) and includes the 79 Br isotope. MW = 94 M+2 is the version that contains all of the atoms (standard isotopes) and includes the 81 Br isotope. MW = 96 Roughly 1:1 intensity M + C 79 Br (M+2) + C 81 Br + C3 Notice that the base peak is, in this case, the same as the molecular ion. Notice also, when bromomethane (M + = 94 or M+2 = 96) fragments off the bromine atom (weight 79 amu), it leaves a fragment whose m/z = 15, which corresponds to the remaining C3 piece. Notice that the molecular weight was 94 or 96 (whole numbers). If you use the values from the periodic table, you probably would have calculated: (12.011) + 3(1.0079) = and perhaps rounded that to 95. If you look at the mass spectrum, you will see that the fragment indicated by the peak at 95 is much smaller than the peak at 94. Remember that the atomic masses given on the period table are a weighted average of the masses of each isotope based on their natural abundance. Since 79 Br and 81 Br are present in about a 1:1 ratio, this averages out to an atomic mass of ~80, but there is no 80 Br. You must always calculate molecular masses for mass spectroscopy using an individual isotope and do not use the average masses from the periodic table. Now consider chloromethane. The two isotopes of chlorine ( 35 Cl and 37 Cl) are present in a 3:1 ratio of abundance. Using the 12 C and 1 isotopes, the molecular weight of C3Cl is 7

8 50. The molecular ion peaks for the two chlorine isotopes are observed at m/z = 50 (M +, 100%) and m/z = 52 (M+2, 33%). M + + C3 C 35 Cl (M+2) + C 37 Cl Roughly 3:1 intensity The Nitrogen Rule: Just a quick heads up for the future If the mass of the molecular ion peak is an odd weight (such as 93), then the molecule contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms, as in aniline, C67N. N 2 M + C 6 7 N M+1 8

9 The odd value, 93, really does scream I have a Nitrogen Atom so perhaps you are looking at an amine, amide, nitrile or nitro-containing compound. Even values don t give you any clues... Fragmentation Information: Mass spectroscopy can also be used to identify structural pieces of molecules, if you know what to look for. Remember that this process is all about taking the original molecule and forming fragments, which are pieces of your molecule. Remember that these fragments are always cation fragments, as the detector in the instrument cannot detect any radicals. The table below shows masses of a variety of fragments that you might see during the fragmentation process, depending on your structure. It can definitely be a little overwhelming, trying to track all of the pieces. Mass Fragment Structure Fragment Name Possible Inference(s) 14 C 2 methylene alkyl chain 15 C 3 methyl methyl group 16 N 2 amino amine, primary amide 17 O hydroxy alcohol, carboxylic acid 18 2 O water alcohol 19 F fluoro organofluorine compound 26 CN cyano nitrile 28 CO (or C(O)) carbon monoxide carbonyl compound 29 CO, C 2 C 3 formyl, ethyl aldehyde, ethyl group 31 OC 3 methoxy methyl ester or methyl ether 35, 37 Cl chloro organochlorine compound 41 C 3 5 (C 2 =CC 2 -) allyl allyl group propyl or isopropyl group, C , C 3 CO (or C 3 C(O)-) propyl, isopropyl, acetyl methyl ketone carboxylic acid, ethyl ester CO 45 2, OC 2 C 3 carboxyl, ethoxy or ethyl ether 46 NO 2 nitro nitro group 57 C 4 9 butyl-, tert-butyl butyl or tert-butyl group 77 C 6 5 phenyl phenyl group (aromatic ring) 79, 81 Br bromo organobromine compound 91 C 6 5 C 2 benzyl benzyl group 105 C 6 5 CO (or C 6 5 C(O)-) benzoyl phenyl ketone Keep in mind the previous discussions in lecture on carbocations and their stability. yperconjugation, inductive effect and even resonance can contribute to the stability of a carbocation, so we can logically approach the fragmentation of a molecule remembering what cations might be formed (3º > 2º > 1º, for stability). Sometimes its 9

10 easier to determine the fragmentation from a What was lost? approach, focusing on mass differences. Consider butane, C3C2C2C3. Its total molecular weight is 58 amu and its M + appears at 58. What is causing the other peaks on the spectrum? The smaller peaks seen below 58 are those daughter peaks, caused by the spontaneous dissociation of the molecular ion into smaller fragments. The fragmentation patterns can provide some information to help characterize the structure of the molecule. loss of 15 (C 3 ) loss of 29 (C 2 C 3 ) M + loss of 43 (C 2 C 2 C 3 ) 10

11 Consider 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol: O Consider the fragmentation occurring here. What pieces can fall off? For an alcohol, we can look for dehydration to occur at some point during fragmentation (loss of2o). In this molecule, quite a few methyl groups could be lost. O 69 loss of 18 ( 2 O) 87 loss of 15 (C 3 ) M + = 102 O O MW = 102 MW = 87 MW = 69 O MW = 87 11

12 Other fragments? This can be overwhelming O 57 O O loss of 18 ( 2 O) 87 loss of 15 (C 3 ) M + = 102 One more time: Propyl Benzene 91 C 9 12 M + = What fragments can you identify from the following MS? Start by losing carbons M + = Why is the peak at 91 so very large? 12

13 The base peak is the most stable cation that can form. This cation is in the Benzylic position, and is resonance stabilized. Warning: Sometimes fragmentation is so extensive and so quick that the molecular ion itself is not observed. Neopentane, or 2,2-dimethylpropane, is one such compound whose molecular ion at 72 a.m.u. is not visible. Fragmentation occured too quickly and so extensively to form a tertiary carbocation that the molecular ion itself never survived to reach the detector C C 3 C C 3 C 3 Note the large peak at 57. It corresponds to the tertiary carbocation easily formed by loss of a methyl fragment: 3 C C 3 C C 3 C C C 3 C C 3 C3 This is problematic if your goal is to prove your molecular weight using mass spectroscopy Functional Group Information you need to remember: Every compound should have a molecular ion (M + ) and M+1. Every unknown in the Qual Lab has at least one of the following: 13

14 1. alide Chlorine: You should be able to find your molecular ion (M + ) as well as the M+2 in a ratio of 3:1. Bromine: You should be able to find your molecular ion (M + ) as well as the M+2 in a ratio of 1:1. 2. Alcohol or Phenol: You will also find a fragment caused by the loss of the acidic proton (M-1) from an alcohol or phenol. 14

15 Molecules that contain alcohol functional groups are generally recognized by the fragmentation resulting from dehydration of the molecular ion (M-18) but only if the hydroxyl is attached to an sp 3 hybridized carbon. Those hydroxyl groups attached to aromatic rings (phenols) cannot dehydrate. These peaks (M-1, M-18) may not be large, significant peaks but you still need to look for them if you have the alcohol/phenol functional group. 3. Aromatic Rings: Aromatic compounds contain an aromatic ring and often have a peak for phenyl, C65, at 77 or benzyl, C65C2 at 91. Identify these if they are pertinent to your molecule. More on the Molecular Ion The most important peak on the mass spectrum is the molecular ion, because it comprises the entire molecule and tells you the molecular weight. ow does one determine which peak is the molecular ion? Since it involves the molecular weight of the entire compound, it will be one of the highest weight peaks, found on the far right of the spectrum. Why is it not ALWAYS the furthest one on the right? Isotopes! Remember the M+1 peak! So - which peak is the molecular ion? Again, as a rule, the molecular ion always contains only the following isotopes: Carbon-12, ydrogen-1, Oxygen-16, Nitrogen-14, Chlorine-35 and Bromine Calculate your empirical formula using the Elemental Analysis. 15

16 2. Then calculate the weight of the empirical formula, using the above mentioned isotopes. Remember: Never, never, never use the values from the periodic table when determining anything to do with mass spectroscopy. Those values are averages of elemental weights, not actual atom weights and can mislead you in your search for the molecular ion. 3. Then go look for your Molecular Ion Now: Tie Elemental Analysis and Mass Spectroscopy Together Example 1: Unknown Compound X has an empirical formula of C36O and has a molecular weight of 58 a.m.u. Identify the molecular ion. Remember that the molecular ion has to match or be a multiple of the empirical formula weight. Which one of the peaks above is the molecular ion? 58. If the molecular ion matches the weight of the empirical formula, then your empirical formula is the same as your molecular formula. The molecular formula for Unknown Compound X would be C 3 6O. 16

17 Example 2: Unknown Compound X has an empirical formula of C36O (58 a.m.u.). Is 58 the mass for the molecular ion? Where is 58 on this spectrum? Right hand side or middle? Middle. If the mass spectrum for Compound X shows several peaks, many of which have masses that are higher than 58, then the empirical formula cannot be a match to the molecular formula. It must be a multiple of 58 (or whatever YOUR empirical formula weighs in your problem). Multiply your empirical formula by 2 or 3 or 4. Since 58 is not the molecular ion, one of the peaks on the far right hand side must match a multiple of the empirical formula mass. On this spectrum, 58 x 2 = 116, which appears on the far right hand side. So - what is the molecular formula for Compound X? Since the molecular ion mass is TWICE the mass from the empirical formula, the molecular formula must be twice the empirical formula, or C612O2. End Qual Lecture One. What should you be working on? 1. Start to analyze the IR (to be taken in lab). Identify key bond stretches on your IR. As always, begin above 1500 cm -1 and go into the fingerprint region for stretches like aromatic ring patterns, C-O, etc. Remember that not all peaks on the IR will be assignable. 17

18 2. Calculate the empirical formula for your unknown compound. You ve been given the percentages for the elements in your molecule. If there is a blank next to the %O, %N or %X, that means you do not have any of that atom type in your molecule. X = Cl or Br. Determine that from your mass spectrum. 3. Calculate the weight of your empirical formula using the values discussed for mass spectroscopy (carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, etc). 4. Find your Molecular ion. It either has to MATC the weight of your empirical formula or be a multiple of. 5. Based on your other functional groups (halides, alcohols), find the other required peaks for the mass spectrum (halides have M+2, alcohols have an M-1 and M-18). 6.
