Reference standard in proton NMR spectroscopy

TMS (tetramethylsilane) at δ=0\delta = 0 ppm

Four pieces of info from proton NMR spectrum

No. of environments, types, relative nos., adjacent H

Definition of equivalent protons

Protons in same chemical environment, absorb at same δ\delta

Method to identify equivalent protons in molecules

Look for planes of symmetry in the structure

What integration reveals in proton NMR

Relative numbers of each type of proton

n+1n+1 rule in proton NMR spectroscopy

nn adjacent H give n+1n+1 peaks in splitting pattern

Splitting pattern when n=0n = 0 (no adjacent H)

Singlet (1 peak)

Splitting pattern when n=2n = 2 (CH₂ adjacent)

Triplet (3 peaks, ratio 1:2:1)

Characteristics of OH and NH proton peaks

Broad peaks, variable shifts, no spin-spin coupling

Effect of D₂O addition on OH/NH protons

OH and NH peaks disappear from spectrum
