What if nmr




















There are six protons in the benzene, and they should all show up near 7 ppm. There are six protons in acetone, and they should all show up near 2 ppm. Assuming that small integral of 1H for the benzene is really supposed to be 6H, then the large integral of 6H for the acetone must also represent six times as many hydrogens, too.

It would be 36 H. There are only six hydrogens in acetone, so it must represent six times as many acetone molecules as there are benzenes. Similarly, if you have decided that you can identify two sets of peaks in the 1 H spectrum, analysing them in different tables makes it easy to keep the integration analysis completely separate too ; 1 H in one table will not be the same size integral as 1 H in the other table unless the concentrations of the two compounds in the sample are the same.

However, comparing the ratio of two integrals for two different compounds can give you the ratio of the two compounds in solution, just as we could determine the ratio of benzene to acetone in the mixture described above. We will look at two examples of sample mixtures that could arise in lab. Results like these are pretty common events in the labIn the first example, a student tried to carry out the following reaction, a borohydride reduction of an aldehyde.

Deuterated solvents, in which 1 H atoms are replaced with 2 H atoms, are typically used in solution NMR for a variety of reasons. Typical NMR samples contain 0. Do not fill the NMR tube full of solvent. This will dilute your sample, waste solvent, and make shimming more difficult. Consider preparing your sample in a secondary vial. You may want to use a small vial to dissolve the solid sample and transfering it to the NMR tube with a glass Pasteur pipette, especially if your sample is not easily solubilized.

Once the sample is in the NMR tube, effective mixing can be difficult. This also gives you the opportunity to treat the sample with heat or vortexing in order to get complete dissolution. If the sample contains significant solids, it is best to filter any particulate from the sample before transferring to the tube.

Solid particles will not show up in a solution NMR spectrum, and may interfere with proper shimming. Use clean, unscratched NMR tubes and clean caps. Use an NMR tube cleaner either purchased or homemade to clean tubes after using. In general, we discourage the use of disposable NMR tubes , because the low tolerance of the outer diameter makes them slide around in the sample spinner and can result in more breakage inside the probe.

Use an internal standard. Residual 1 H in deuterated solvents can often be used for spectral calibration calibration table. However, in situations where an exact chemical shift is desired, or there is not solvent available for reference such as for 13 C conducted in D 2 O or 31 P , an additional internal standard must be used for chemical shift calibration.

As there is only one deuterium atom per molecule in CDCl 3 and the molecular weight of chloroform is relatively high, the 2 H signal search at the start of the NMR experiment may fail for very concentrated samples or those with paramagnetic impurities. Some of these solvents are available from Stores in Chemistry Department contact Tony Field, uccaaac ucl. In some cases, you could also use usual "protonated" solvents with 1 H instead of 2 H.

These will require special solvent suppression experiments depending on the number of solvent peaks in the 1 H NMR spectrum. Following these instructions, you could run your samples in other "protonated" solvents. However, you need to consider such issues as distortions arising from the solvent suppression and chemical shift calibration. Dissolve your sample in a solvent selected by you.

Mix it well and transfer it into an NMR tube. Filter the solution of your sample into the NMR tube if there are undissolved parts left. An appropriate volume is 0. Solvents are likely to contain a small amount of water when purchased and once the solvent container is opened, the water content will increase due to absorption from the atmosphere.

You could store your solvents over molecular sieves, but be aware of the particles from the sieves. The chemical shift of water and other trace impurities in various solvents can be found by searching for "NMR chemical shifts of solvents". Ensure that the polyethylene cap is pushed fully onto the tube avoid cuts and injuries!
