Post by Ay Ayy on February 7, 2017

I have this question
1. (a) Determine the digital resolution of a 12 ppm proton spectrum collected on a 300 MHz NMR instrument.  Number of data points collected for this spectrum was 1K (1024 bytes). [Hint: On a 300MHz instrument, 1PPM=300Hz]              
(b). What would be the resolution of the above spectrum if 2000 data points were collected?            
C. If we increase the spectral width from 12 to 20 ppm and keep all other acquisition parameters same as in problem 1(a) and collect a proton spectrum, what would be the acquisition time and resolution of the newly acquired proton spectrum?

Post by Kaye Lim on November 30, 2016

I have a question regarding how NMR instrument works. This is what I thought, please check if it is correct.

So there is only 1 MHz value of radio wave applied on the sample (like 42.6 MHz for 1 Tesla magnetic field). That powerful pulse of radiowave excites all nuclei including nuclei of F,N,C as well. Then the radio receiver would tune into a correct MHz value to read the released energy from the nuclei (example, 42.6MHz to read proton nuclei, and other corresponding MHz to read nuclei of other atom type). Is everything above correct?

Thank you!

For protons on Carbon table at 37:04, Why proton of Methyl is more upfield (more shielded)than methylene and methine proton?

I thought that since alkyl R is EDG, the more alkyl R group like in the case of methine proton, the more electron rich the area thus methine proton would give the most upfield signal instead of proton on methyl.

Please explain! Thank you! Great lecture!

Dr. Starkey, I didn't know where to put this but I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help this semester.  Your lectures have been incredibly helpful in getting me through orgo 1.

what if you are not given the formula of the structure and all you have is the H nmr.

Hi Dr. Starkey,
When it comes to calculate the chemical shifts for CH2 group, we use the formula: 1.2 + ΔR1 + ΔR2 and we look up the table for the values of Δ. My question is where those values are coming from and how did they calculate those values and what is the difference between the Δ values and the regular values that we use for H that has only one neighbor.
Thank you.

on example 2, (the one w/ the carbonyl) aren't the "e" methyls diastereotopic and therefore not equivalent? i made models... and they're not superimposable and aren't enantiomers.

Like Marina, I too am having difficulties with the last portion of the video. Have the technical difficulties been resolved?

On the last example on example 5, when figuring out the number of signals in an NMR, I'm a little confused on how you designated the different protons. when you did the stereochemistry for the H and t-butyl group that's not a real stereocenter right? I mean that C has a t-butyl group a H and when you try to figure out the other 2 groups it is the same because the molecule is symmetrical. So how did you apply stereochemistry there? Or was that to explain the different H's?

How can I move on ahead of what the lecturer is talking about?? It appears that I am stuck with wherever she is talking about, no matter what I click on in the contents. This is wasting a huge amount of time.
Please help.
Natalie

In addition to this, if the video reaches a certain point where the data hasn't been loaded yet, it goes back to the very beginning again!

Hi,

The lectures are very helpful but why can't wait click on the exact position we wish to see? It is quite frustrating because I have to watch the whole lecture before I get to the bit I was up to. Thanks

Dear Dr. Starkey:

How come hydrogens bonded to an oxygen (say in an alcohol group) don't show up on an NMR (or do they)? At around 45 minutes in this video you are describing the approximate positions of hydrogens in an ester/ alcohol and you do not include the hydrogen bonded to an oxygen in an alcohol group in your analysis.
Thanks!
Gabriella
