13 -NMR Spectroscopy Some Facts: 12 is not magnetically active but 13 is (I = ½); its natural abundance is 1.1%; The low abundance of 13 causes a sensitivity problem (only 1/5700 of 1 H), which has been overcome with the development of Fourier Transform (FT) NMR instrumentation in the 1970 s; However, higher concentrations are usually used for solution NMR (10 mg in 0.5 ml of solvent for a 5 mm tube); 13 chemical shifts are reported relative to TMS; 300 MHz for 1 H-NMR equals 75.5 MHz for 13 -NMR; Peak splittings due to couplings with protons are usually removed by broadband decoupling in a double resonance experiment; Broadband decoupling can also enhance the 13 signal intensity caused by the Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE); The range of chemical shift values is much wider than for 1 H (typically between 0-200 ppm); Therefore, chemical shift is of high analytical value in 13 -NMR; Peak Intensities in 13 -NMR Relaxation times in 13 -NMR vary over a wide range so that peak areas do not integrate for the correct number of nuclei; Long delays between each acquisition would resolve this problem but the required measurement time is prohibitive; NOE response is not uniform for all atom environments; arbon atoms without protons attached to them have low intensities because of the missing NOE and for other reasons; Substitution of H by D results in decreased intensity of the 13 signal; Deuterium has I = 1 so that a 13 signal is split into 3 lines ratio 1:1:1 when coupled to one deuterium (possible spin states of D are -1, 0, +1; D 3 exhibits a 1:1:1 triplet in 13 -NMR!) Double Resonance: Spin-Spin Decoupling irradiate H 3 triplet - sextet - triplet H 3 triplet - quartet H 3 irradiate H 3 singlet - singlet H 3 irradiate H 3 triplet - triplet Protons can be readily decoupled individually if their deferens in resonance frequency (chemical shift) is 100 Hz;

2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol ycloalkanes The equation for alkanes is based on a weighted average for open chain conformers. A complete new set of parameters is necessary for cyclic alkanes as the average conformation is different. yclopropane = -2.6, cyclobutane = 23.3, and cyclohexane = 27.7; all other rings have 27.7 ± 2 ppm H 3 H 3 β-ax = 5.2 β-gem = -1.2; extra correction factor for branching at β- (2 methyl groups); H 3 β-eq = 8.9 27.7 + 5.2 + (2 x 8.9) + -1.2 = 49.5 (obs. 49.9) Alkenes hemical shift ranges of alkene carbon atoms strongly depend on their degree of substitution = = 104-115 ppm; =HR = 120-140 ppm; =R 2 = 140-165 ppm; α,β,γ represent substituents on the same end of the double bond while α, β, γ are on the far side.
