Return to Question of Equivalent hydrogens. Stereotopicity – Equivalent or Not?
Are these two hydrogens truly equivalent?
Seemingly equivalent hydrogens may be homotopic, enantiotopic, diastereotopic.
How to tell: replace one of the hydrogens with a D.
If produce an achiral molecule then hydrogens are homotopic,
if enantiomers then hydrogens are enantiotopic,
if diastereomers then diastereotopic.
We look at each of these cases.

Seem to be equivalent until we look at most stable conformation, the most utilized conformation.

Homotopic
HH replace one H with D DH
Achiral Achiral
The central hydrogens of propane are homotopic and have identical chemical shifts under all conditions.
Enantiotopic
HH replace one H with D DH
Achiral Chiral, havetwo enantiomers.
The hydrogens are enantiotopic and equivalent in the NMR unless the molecule is placed in a chiral environment such as a chiral solvent..
The hydrogens are designated as Pro R or Pro S

This structure would be S

Diastereotopic
If diastereormers are produced from the substitution then the hydrogens are not equivalent in the NMR. Diastereotopic hydrogens.
The hydrogens are designated as Pro R or Pro S
This structure would be S
Pro S hydrogen. (Making this a D causes the structure to be S.)

Diastereotopic methyl groups (not equivalent), each split into a doublet by Hc

Example of diastereotopic methyl groups.
13C NMR
• 13C has spin states similar to H. • Natural occurrence is 1.1% making 13C-13C spin spin
splitting very rare.• H atoms can spin-spin split a 13C peak. (13CH4 would yield
a quintet). This would yield complicated spectra.• H splitting eliminated by irradiating with an additional
frequency chosen to rapidly flip (decouple) the H’s averaging their magnetic field to zero.
• A decoupled spectrum consists of a single peak for each kind of carbon present.
• The magnitude of the peak is not important.
13C NMR spectrum
4 peaks 4 types of carbons.

Hydrogen NMR: Analysis: Example 1
1. Molecular formula given. Conclude: One pi bond or ring.
2. Number of hydrogens given for each peak, integration curve not needed. Verify that they add to 14!
3. Three kinds of hydrogens. No spin-spin splitting. Conclude: Do not have non-equivalent H on adjacent carbons.
4. The 9 equivalent hydrogens likely to be tert butyl group (no spin-spin splitting). The 3 equivalent hydrogens likely to be methyl group. The two hydrogens a CH2.
Fragments: (CH3)3C-, -CH2-, CH3-
5. Have accounted for all atoms but one C and one O. Conclude: Carbonyl group!
-(C=O)-
6. Absence of splitting between CH2 and CH3. Conclude: they are not adjacent.
O
Example 2, C3H6O
1. Molecular formula One pi bond or ring
2. Four different kinds of hydrogen: 1,1,1,3 (probably have a methyl group).
3. Components of the 1H signals are about equal height, not triplets or quartets
4. Consider possible structures.

NMR example
Formula tells us two pi bonds/rings
Three kinds of hydrogens with no spin/spin splitting.
What can we tell by preliminary inspection….
Now look at chemical shifts
2. From chemical shift conclude geminal CH2=CR2. Thus one pi/ring left.
3. Conclude there are no single
C=CH- vinyl hydrogens. Have CH2=C-R2.
This rules out a second pi bond as it would have to be fully substituted, CH2=C(CH3)C(CH3)=C(CH3)2 , to avoid additional vinyl hydrogens which is C8H14.

In CH2=CR2 are there allylic hydrogens: CH2=C(CH2-)2?
1. Formula told us that there are two pi bonds/rings in the compound.
Do the R groups have allylic hydrogens, C=C-CH?
1. Four allylic hydrogens. Unsplit. Equivalent!
2. Conclude CH2=C(CH2-)2
3. Subtract known structure from formula of unknown…
C7H12
- CH2=C(CH2-)2

C3H6 left to identifyRemaining hydrogens produced the 6H singlet.
Likely structure of this fragment is –C(CH3)2-.

Infrared spectroscopy causes molecules to vibrate
Infrared radiation does not cause all possible vibrations to vibrate.
For a vibration to be caused by infrared radiation (infrared active) requires that the vibration causes a change in the dipole moment of the molecule. (Does the moving of the atoms in the vibration causes the dipole to change. Yes: should appear in spectrum. No: should not appear.)
A non-linear molecule having n atoms may have many different vibrations. Each atom can move in three directions: 3n. Need to subtract 3 for translational motion and 3 for rotations
# vibrations = 3 n – 6
(n = number of atoms in non-linear molecule)

Alkane bands
Recognition of Groups: Alkenes (cyclohexene).
Compare these two C-H stretches Sometimes weak
if symmetric
Recognition of Groups: Alkynes (oct-1-yne)
This is a terminal alkyne and we expect to see1. Alkyne C-H2. Alkyne triple bond stretch (asymmetric)
Recognition of Groups: Arenes. (methylbenzene, toluene)
Out-of-plane bend; strong
Recognition of Groups: Alcohols
The O-H stretch depends on whether there is hydrogen bonding present
Compare –O-H vs -O-H….O Hydrogen bonding makes it easier to move the H with H bonding as it is being pulled in both directions; lower frequency
Recognition of Groups: Alcohols
Recognition of Groups: Ethers
No O-H bond stretch present but have C-O in same area as for alcohol.

Recognition of Groups: Amines
Easiest to recognize is N-H bond stretch: 3300 – 3500 cm-1. Same area as alcohols. Note tertiary amines, NR3, do not have hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bonding can shift to lower frequency
Esters
One C=O stretch and two C-O stretches.
Recognition of Groups: Carbonyl
C=O stretch can be recognized reliably in area of 1630 – 1820 cm-1
•Aldehydes will also have C(O)-H stretch
•Esters will also have C-O stretch
•carboxylic acid will have O-H stretch
•Amide will frequently have N-H stretch
•Ketones have nothing extra
What to check for in an IR spectrum
C-H vibrations about 3000 cm-1 can detect vinyl and terminal alkyne hydrogens.
O-H vibrations about 3500 cm-1
C=O vibrations about 1630 – 1820 cm-1
C-O vibrations about 1000-1250 cm-1
