Get started for free(A true story.) A major university was designated as a national nuclear magnetic resonance center by the National Science Foundation. Several large superconducting instruments were being installed when a government safety inspector appeared and demanded to know what provisions were being made to handle the nuclear waste produced by these instruments. Assume you are the manager of the NMR center and offer an explanation that could be understood by a nonscientist.
Draw a splitting tree, similar to Figures 13-32 and 13-33, for proton Hc in styrene. What is the chemical shift of proton Hc?
A small pilot was adding bromine across the double bond of but-2-ene to make 2,3-dibromobutane. A controller malfunction allowed the reaction temperature to rise beyond safe limits. A careful distillation of the product showed that several impurities had formed, including the one having the NMR spectra that appear below. Determine its structure and assign the peaks to the protons in your structure.
Hexamethylbenzene undergoes radical bromination with N-bromosuccinimide to give one monobrominated product (C12H17Br) and four dibrominated products (C12H16Br2). These products are easily separated by GC-MS, but the dibrominated products are difficult to distinguish by their mass spectra. Draw the monobrominated product and the four dibrominated products and explain how 13C NMR would easily distinguish among these compounds .
Phenyl Grignard reagent adds to 2-methylpropanal to give the secondary alcohol shown. The proton NMR of 2-methylpropanal shows the two methyl groups as equivalent (one doublet at δ 1.1), yet the product alcohol, a racemic mixture, shows two different 3H doublets, one at δ 0.75 and one around δ 1.0
