H Nuclear spin and Magnetic moment
Nucleus of atoms is made up of protons and neutrons. Like clectrons, protons and
neutrons also have property of spinning about their own axis. According to quantum
mechanics value of angular momentum for each is Va h/2n).
The net resultant of the angular momentum of all nuclear particles is called as nuclear
spin and this may be represent as follows :~
h
Nuclear spin = [ve 0]
Here Is spin quantum number of nucleus, whose value may be 0,1/2 , 1, 3/2 ete. ‘There are

Therefore it is evident from the above table that those nuclei which have zero spin
quantum number. ie, those nuclei which do not spin can not be observed by NMR
Spectroscopy. For example !2C, '60, 32S etc. Whereas those nuclei whose spin quantum
number is 1/2 show absorption signal in NMR spectroscopy, for example 'H,
MB,YC,'5N,!9F77Al;1P."Sn These nuclei have magnetic dipole. Protons and neutrons
have magnetic dipole and when sum of protons and neutrons is even number then they
counter balanced magnetic effect of each other, whereas when it is in odd number then
some magnetic dipole exists in it.
sik] Theory of NMR spectroscopy
‘Nucleus having magnetic moment behaves like a tiny magnet and spins on its own axis,
When proton is placed in an external magnetic field then it interacts ata certain frequency
in radio frequency region as a result of which it attains two types of configuration with
respect to external magnetic field,
(i) Alignment with the field
i) Alignment against the field
If proton is in alignment with the
‘external magnetic field then it may absorb
energy and goes to higher energy level
and again it can come back to lower
energy level (more stable) by releasing
some energy. This transfer of proton
from one energy level to other energy
{Alignment

level is called as flipping. The energy necessary for this is AE~hv which is obtained from
the radio frequency region of electromagnetic radiations. Difference of energy between two
nergy levels depends on the applied magnetic field.Organic Chemistry B.Sc. Part-II

ifr Chemical shift
In NMR spectrum the number of signals give us information about different kind of
protons present in the molecule. Similarly the position of the signal tells us what kind of
Protons they are i.e. whether they are aliphatic or aromatic, primary, secondary tertiary or
adjacent to halogen or oxygen or other atom or group etc. These different kinds of protons
have different electronic environments and itis this electronic environment that determines
where a proton absorbs in the NMR spectrum.
When an atom is placed in outer magnetic field, electrons present in molecule come in
spin state and produce their magnetic field. It is called induced magnetic field. This induced
magnetic field may reinforce the applied magnetic field or oppose it. If induced magnetic field
reinforces the applied magnetic field, a small external field will be needed for flipping the spin
of the proton. Such a proton is said to be deshielded and the absorption is known as down
field. If thé induced magnetic field opposes the external magnetic field, stronger magnetic
field will be required to flip the proton. The proton is then said to be shielded and the
-absorption is said to be up field,
foe Hence by shielding or deshielding of protons by electron makes a change in the position
of NMR signal in the spectrum, it is called chemical shift. Although the chemical shift is
measured as a field or frequency, in reality it is a ratio of necessary’ change in the field to the
applied field or of the necessary change in frequency to the standard frequency, hence is a
dimensionless constant usually denoted by 5 and expressed in parts per million (ppm).
Chemical shift is affected by induced magnetic field by the following two ways.
* ()Ifinduced magnetic field vpposes applied majmetic field then effective magnetic field
will be less then applied magnetic field. It is called positive shielding and NNR signal is
shifted towards up’field.

To determine the chemical shift of different protons in a molecule a compound is used
as reference. Itis generally tetra-methyl silane ie. TMS.

Itis used as reference since itis - (i) chemically inert (ii) magnetically isotropic (iii)
volatile in nature (b.p. 300K) (iv) soluble in common organic solvent (v) shows a strong
‘absorption signal which is at upfield in comparison to all types of protons since maximum
shielding is found in its all equivalent protons,
Hence TMS is used as an extemal reference. Displacement between the signals of
targeted proton and that of TMS is called chemical shift. TMS may be used as external
reference when D;0 or H,0 is taken as solvent. In the case of aqueous solution, sodium
22-day -2-llepentone5-sulpboane (DSS) is used as internal reference, Protons Which

called equivalent protons. Protons which show different chemical shifts are called non-
equivalent protons.
NMR scale :- Unit which is used to denote chemical shift, is in parts per mullion of
applied magnetic field. We know that chemical shift of any proton may be determine with
the help of TMS. Chemical shift is generally expressed in terms of 8 scale. 6 value for any
proton is equal at either 60 MHz or 100 MHz. Itis a dimension less unit. It does not depend
upon frequency of applied radiation. By dividing v with the applied frequency and
multiplied by 10°, Thus a peak at 60 Hz (v=60) from TMS at an applied frequency of 60 MHz
‘would beat 1,00 (5 scale).

Itis clear from the above table that as deshielding of proton is more, absorption signal

Factors affecting chemical shift
Chemical shift ofa proton is affected by the following factors.
(1) Electronegativity and Inductive effect: A proton is covalently bonded to carbon,
nitrogen, oxygen or other atoms by a sigma bond in an organic compound. When compound
is placed ina strong magnetic field, the electrons of sigma bond circulate and hence generate
a small induced magnetic field which opposes the applied magnetic field. The shield
experienced by a given nucleus is directly related to the electron density surrounding it. A
nearby electronegative atoms thus withdraws electron density from the neighbourhood of
the proton, so that, a small applied field is required to cause the spin state of the proton to
flip. The higher is the electronegativity ofthe atom, greater isthe deshielding caused to
proton
(i) This effect is illustrated by the 6 values for the protons in methyl halide.
CH,-F CH,-Cl CH,-Br CH,-1
5426 30 2.82 216
The order of electronegativity of halogens is as follows.
F>CI>Br>1
Since F is most electronegative, hence it will greatly deshielded the methyl protons
hence absorption signals observed at downfield i.e. at high 5 value. The order of
electronegativity of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen is as follows.

‘sroups, Electron cloud of bulky group repell
the electron cloud of proton and proton get
deshielded, thus proton gives absorption
signal at down field or having high 8 value
Itis called vander Waal’s deshielding Applied magnetic field
()Effect of magnetic anisotropy or space effect - Circulation of electron, especially
the welectrons, about nearby nuclei generates an induced field which can either oppose
(causes shielding) or reinforce (causes. ‘deshielding) the applied field at the proton, depending
upon the location of proton or the space occupied by the protons. The occurrence of
shielding or deshielding can be determined by the location of proton in the space and so
this effect is known as space effect. It is of two types.
(2) Diamagnetic anisotropic :- When applied magnetic fieldis in opposite direction to
applied field thats it opposes it then proton gets shielded and NMR absorption signal will
be observed at up field that is at low 6 value, For example: Alkyne
(b) Paramagnetic anisotropic :- When induced magnetic field reinforces the applied
magnetic field then proton gets deshielded and NMR absorption signal are obtained at
down field that is at high 6 values, For example: alkene, benzene, aldehyde ete. It can be
explained by the following example -
(D Alkyne :- It's typical example is acetylene, Molecule of acetylene is linear and it’s
triple bond is symmetrical with the axis. If applied magnetic field and axis of acetylene
molecule are in similar direction then electrons of triple bond, spin perpendicular to applied
‘magnetic field as a result of which induced magnetic field opposes applied magnetic field
that is shielding of proton takes place and NMR absorption signal is observed at up field
that is at low 8 value.

(IV) Benzene -In benzene x electrons that is aromatic sextet is delocalised on the
ring. In the presence of applied magnetic field, ring electrons produce ring current as a
result of spin. This induced ring current produces —
(i) diamagnetic anisotropic effect at the center of aromatic ring and
(it) paramagnetic anisotropic effect at the surface of aromatic ring.
Therefore aromatic protons get deshielded and NMR absorption signal is observed
down field whereas protons situated above and below the plane of aromatic ring gets
shielded as a result of which NMR signal is observed at up field.

Therefore ortho, meta and para

inside the ring are strongly shielded.
Asaresult of which 8 value obtained

Fig. 1.10 shielded and deshielded
protons of annulene [14]
(3) Hydrogen bonding :- If hydrogen bond is present in any compound then NMR
absorption signal is observed at down field in these compound. In hydrogen bond proton
is attached to more electronegative atom due to which electron density at proton reduces as
a result of which proton gets deshielded and absorption signal is observed at down field
that is at high 5 value. Chemical displacement towards low field depends on the strength of
hydrogen bond.
Since no displacement in the NMR signal is observed in the molecules having
intramolecular hydrogen bonding hence on the basis of it, intramolecular hydrogen bonding
may be differentiated from intermolecular hydrogen bonding. For example, chemical
displacement of N-H proton in amine and O-H proton in alcohol depends on the nature of
the solvent and concentration of solvent. For example, hydroxylic proton of pure alcohol
gives an absorption signal at 5 5.35ppm whereas in the presence of nonpolar solvents like
CCI, at 5-20% concentration hydroxylic proton gives absorption signal at 5 2-4ppm. Inthe
‘same way at infinite dilution or in vapour state, absorption signal is obtained at 8 0.Sppm.
Chemical displacement of hydroxylic proton depends upon temperature and
concentration, this can be explained with the help of hydrogen bonding. In concentrated
solution proton is deshielded by hydrogen bonding and shows down field resonance but
when dilution of amine and alcohol is done with non-polar solvent then hydrogen bond
becomes weak and shows resonance at high field i.e. at § value (2-4 ppm). In pheaol,
absorption signal is observed at 8 4-12 ppm but on increasing dilution with non-polar
solvent absorption signal of -OH proton shifts at upfield.

In concentrated solution of amine, protons show absorption signal at low field, this is
duc tothe presence ofinter-molecular hydrogen bonding because intermolecular hydrogen
bonding depends on the concentration therefore on increasing dilution, bond becomes
‘weak and proton gives absorption signal at high field ie. atlow 8 value. When concentration
reduces, intermolecular hydrogen bond becomes weak andparamagnetic effect diminishes.
(4) Temperature :- Effect of temperature on chemical shiftis very less, Proton of -OH,
~NH and -SH which take part in hydrogen bonding shows a shift of absorption signal
towards up field on increase in temperature because on rise in temperature hydrogen bond
‘becomes weak and diminishes finaly,
ppm a=1.98,
Spin-Spin Spliting or Spin-Spin Coupling
Interaction between spin of one proton to its neighbouring proton or protons is called
as Spin-Spin Coupling, Effective area around a nucleus decreases or increases by
‘neighbouring protons. For example : Inthe spectrum of ethanol, absorption signal obtained
by proton of methyl group, is effected by the magnetic field produced by proton of methylene
‘group. In the same way proton of methylene group is effected by the magnetic field produced
by proton of methyl group. As a result of this absorption signal of methyl and methylene
Sroup undergoes splitting, Signal of methyl protons is obtained in the form of triplet and
‘signal of methylene protons is in the form of quartet in 1:3 3: | ratio.
To express spin-spin splitting, milligauss or hertz scale is used.
From the high resolution spectrum of ethyl alcohol itis clear that NMR absorption
Signal shown by methyl and methylene proton, splitinto extrapeaks therefore that secondary
environmental effect which is imposed on chemical shiftis called as spin-spin splitting. In
the effect of applied magnetic field chemical shift is produced as a result of spin of electron
around the nucleus. Due to spin of electron a small magnetic field is produced which
generally opposes the applied field due to which for the resonance of shielded nucleus a
partial change occurs in frequency or field.
Im the effect of secondary environment, one set of nuclei affects the resonating
behaviour of other set of nuclei that is interaction or coupling takes place between two22

Coupling constant is a measure of effectiveness of spin-spin coupling
Distance between the centre of two nearby peaks of a multiplet is constant and this is
called as spin-spin coupling constant.
(@ Coupling constant is shown by J. Its unit is cycles/sec. or Hz.
(i) Value of coupling constant does not depends on the applied magnetic field
(iv) Value of coupling constant is generally between 1-20Hz.
(¥) Value of coupling constant depends on the structural interrelations between the
ccouppled proton.
(vi) Value of coupling constant of cis proton is less in comparison to coupling constant

(vi) If chemical shift of two interacting group of proton is more then analysis of NMR

(b) between two doublet and a quartet.

Determination of Peak Areas
Area under NMR absorption peaks is proportional to the number of nucleus responsible
for that peak. There are many such factors which broadens the absorption signal due to
which its height reduces. Some important factors are purity of sample, chemical exchange
reaction and spinning rate of sample etc. In modem NMR recorder there is a electronic
integrator which directly shows relative peak area of the absoption signals. For example

[Bz poiications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
With the help of NMR spectroscopy,
(1) Functional group present in any compound may be identified
(2) Types of nucleus present in any compound may be calculated.
(3) Relative position of different groups present in compound may be known.
(4) Mechanism of the reaction may be studied. For example, in the aqueous solution of
sodium hydroxide, exchange of OH proton of H,O and NaOH takes place in less than 107
seconds as a result of which only one absorption signal is obtained. If proton exchange
takes place in more than 10-* seconds ie. exchange is relatively slow then in this condition
two absorption signals are obtained.
NaOH +HOH* === > NaOH? + HOH
(5) On the basis of resonance of protons, unknown compound can be identified. The
attachment of proton with oxygen or nitrogen or sulphur atom in the compound can be
identified as follows =
(When protonis attached with oxygen:
(a) Alcohol for example, ethanol Cli, Cit, OH
In pure alcohol proton attached with oxygen atom shows absorption signal at 3
ppm while inthe presence of carbon-tetra chloride OH absorption signal observed at
4 ppm. On changing the solvent change in the value of OH absorption signal can be
explained on the basis of hydrogen bonding. In pure ethanol due to hydrogen bonding,
clectron density around the proton decreases because shared electrons are attached by the
more electronegative oxygen atom and due to decrease in electron density proton gets,
deshielded and -OH absorption signal shift towards low field that is at high 8 value. In
presence of non-polar solvent such as CCl, inter-molecular hydrogen bonding reduces and
atmore dilution it diminishes, As a result of which electron density around proton becomes
‘more i. due to shielding effect absorption signal shifts towards high field i. at low 8
value.
(b) Water :- In most ofthe solvents or compound water is present as an impurity. If
quantity of water is more i.e. if there isa possibility of hydrogen bonding than absorption
signal is observed at 8= 4.7 ppm. Ifittle quantity of water is present then it gives absorption
signals at 5 1.5 ppm.
(©) Phenol :- Like alcoholic proton, phenolic protons give a sharp singlet due to fast
exchange. Range ofthis peak depends on the solvent concentration and temperature and
its absorption signal is observed at 8= 4.0-7.Sppm.
(4) Carboxylic acid :-In the presence of nonpolar solvent carboxylic acids are obtained
in he form of dimer. Due to this reason absorption signal is obtained at 8 = 10-13ppm but in
presence of polar solvents dimerisation of carboxylic acid does not takes places, Carboxylic(Pee __LL—

With the help of electronic integrator it can be observed that it has only one methyl

(2) Ethanol :- There are three types of protons in ethanol therefore inthis three types of
absorption signal should be obtained. Due to the deshielding effect of oxyyen atom OH
proton absorption signal will be observed at low field. at high 8 value, after this signal of
methylene proton and at high field with respect to it absorption signal of methyl proton will
be observed. With the help of electronic integrator ratio of intensity of absorption signals
is calculated. Due to effect of methylene group, three equivalent protons of methyl yroup
gives a (n+ 1)=3 triplet. In the presence of the impurity of acid or moisture in alcohol
singlet is observed due to -OH absorption signal whereas in pure alcohol -OH absorption
signals is observed in the form of a triplet |: 2: | because -OH proton coupled with the

Compounds using UV, IR and NMR spectros:
We have already studied IR and UV spectroscopic techniques in Previous classe, q
brief summary related to this is given here, Structure of some simple oe compounds
can be determined by IR, UV and PMR spectroscopy techniques by the following manner,
() Alcohol:
(A) Indentification from infrared spectrum - Thereare four types of bands are observed
HH
in saturated alcohol ni Coul |, C-C,C-H,C-0 and 0-H. Out of these two absorption
HH
bands are important.
() O-H stretching vibrations :- Position and intensity of this stretching vibration
‘depends upon the hydrogen bonding. Possibility of hydrogen bonding in gaseous or dilute
solution state is negligible. Hence-OH group is free from hydrogen bonding. In this state a
sharp absorption band is observed at 3650-3584 em, In liquid or concentrate solution
state of alcohol due to hydrogen bonding association takes place as a result of which
absorption band is observed at lower wave number region 3584-3200 cm". Band width and
shifting towards lower wavelength region depends on the extent of hydrogen bonding.
(i) C-O stretching vibrations: A sharp absorption band is observed in the region
1260-1000 en! due to C-O stretching vibrations in alcohol and phenol, C-O stretching
vibrations couple with neighbouring C-C stretching vibrations as a result of which nature
‘of alcohol affects the absorption bond, For primary alcohol itis observed at 1075-1025 cm!
for secondary at! 150-1075 em and for tertiary alechol absorption bands appears at 1210-
1100 em"

on Sey to it absorption of C-C stretching vibration is found in the region 1500-1600
; Value of C-H stretching vibrations depends on the hybridization of carbon atom. In
C(sp° ')-H bonds absorption bands due to stretching vibration is observed at 2800-3000
em’. In C(sp)-H it is observed at 3000-3100 cm-! and in C(sp)-H bands it is observed at
3300 cm”. Bending vibrations of C-H bandsare observed in comparatively at lower wave
number region at about 1430-1470 cm-!
Due to the presence of unsaturation and aromatic ring, absorption band due to C=C
bond is observed at 1650 cm~!
Infrared spectrum of 2-butanol is shown in fig. 1.19
In this due to hydrogen bond O-H stretching vibration absorption band is observed at
3300 cm". C-O stretching vibration absorption band is at 1100 cm“! which suggests the
Presence of secondary alcohol. All C-atoms are in sp? hybridized state due to which
(sp*-H) stretching vibration absorption band is observed in between 2800-2950 cm-!
(B) Identification with UV spectrum :- Saturated alcohols show n —>0* transitions.
In alcohol, in addition to presence of 6 electrons atom lone pair of electron is also present
on oxygen. In comparison to o —> o* transition low energy is required for n — o* transition
as aresult of which absorption bands are observed at higher wave length region in comparison
to o —> o* transition. Generally saturated alcohol shows absorption band at about 200nm
wave length region. For example, methanol shows absorption band at 184nm with Emax = 200
Absorption band in ethanol is observed at 200nm. Due to this reason only, for the structural
determination of compounds, alcohol is usedas a solvent in near ultraviolet region.
In phenol, ethelenic band (E-band) is observed at 210.5nm, € max 6200 and benzenoid
band (B-band) is observed at 270nm, Emax 1450. :
Catichol (OH-C,H,-OH) gives ethelenic band at 214nm,
