Step by step solution

01

NMR spectroscopy

If a compound contains either plane of symmetry or center of symmetry, the protons of the opposite (mirror images) substituents have the same environment. Thus, these protons have given the same signal.

02

Step 2: \(^{\bf{1}}{\bf{H}}\) NMR signals in a, b, and c

a. The given compound has a plane of symmetry as shown below:

Plane of symmetry in a

Thus, the given compound has two types of protons, and it will provide two signals.

b. The given compound has a plane of symmetry as shown below:

Plane of symmetry in b

Thus, the given compound has three types of protons, and it will provide three signals.

c. The given compound has a center of symmetry as shown below:

Center of symmetry in c

Thus, the given compound has three types of protons, and it will provide three signals.

Question: The \(^{\bf{1}}{\bf{H}}\) NMR spectrum of \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\) recorded on a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer consists of two signals, one due to the \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\) protons at 1715 Hz and one due to the OH proton at 1830 Hz, both measured downfield from TMS. (a) Calculate the chemical shift of each absorption. (b) Do the \({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\) protons absorb upfield or downfield from the OH proton?
