Chapter 14: Q13P (page 629)

Which underlined proton (or sets of protons) has the greater chemical shift (that is, the higher frequency signal)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The protons with the greater chemical shift are underlined below.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Electronegativity

Electronegativity is the electron attracting power of an atom.Its chemical shift is greater if a proton is attached to a higher electronegative atom. The electronegativity of chlorine is higher than bromine, so the chemical shift of the proton attached to chlorine is higher.

02

Position of protons

If a proton is near an electronegative atom,such asfluorine or chlorine, its chemical shift is higher.

Hence, the protons with a greater chemical shift are underlined below.

Underlined protons have a greater chemical shift

Sketch the following spectra that would be obtained for 2-chloroethnol:

a. The 1H NMR spectrum for an anhydrous sample of the alcohol.

b. The 1H NMR spectrum for a sample of the alcohol that contains a trace amount of acid.

c. The 13C NMR spectrum.

e. The four parts of a DEPT13C NMR spectrum.

The 1 H NMR spectra of two carboxylic acids with molecular formula C3H5O2Cl are shown below. Identify the carboxylic acids. (The “offset” notation means that the farthest-left signal has been moved to the right by the indicated amount to fit on the spectrum; thus, the signal at 9.8 ppm offset by 2.4 ppm has an actual chemical shift of 9.8 + 2.4 = 12.2 ppm.)
