Degrees of Unsaturation Unsaturation means places where hydrogens could be added. Points of unsaturation include multiple bonds or rings. Every multiple bond and ring each counts as one d.u. Once you have a molecular formula, you can easily calculate the number of d.u. in a molecule. When you know how many multiple bonds and/or rings are in a molecule, you can more easily determine the pieces and how to put them together. You can either determine the d.u. by using a formula, or alternatively, a little trial and error. d.u.= (2C+N+2-H-X) ignore O and S Dont underestimate thisits easy to determineand it can be very useful. Lets try a few on the next page

Carbon-13 NMR Spectra Chemical Shift (ppm, ) -where in the spectrum is the signal found -chemical environment of the carbon In general, you CANNOT integrate a 13C spectrum Usually, 13C NMRs are decoupled, therefore there is NOT ANY splitting 13C NMRs are used to tell you how many different kinds of carbons you have. Although they are on different scales, regions of a proton and carbon NMR are generally in the same area. A very crude approximation is to multiply the proton NMR chemical shift by 20 to get the carbon chemical shift.

Why is
13C
About 99.9% of hydrogen occurring in nature is 1H and NMR active. Only 0.1% of carbon occurring in nature is 13C and NMR active. Just in the nature of carbon, it takes longer to obtain a set of data than compared to hydrogen (30 sec. vs. 7 sec.). With 1H NMR, you dont have to wait long, so its easy to get an integratable 1H NMR spectrum. When you add on the fact that the NMR active nucleus is abundant in only 0.1% of the atoms, there arent many atoms that give signals. In order to get a 13C NMR that can be integrated, you need to wait a long time between data collections. Usually, this is not done. In actuality, you can get 13C NMR spectra that can be integrated, you only need to let the samples run a long time (relaxation time). The statistical chance of getting NMR active carbon atoms beside each other (for C-C splitting) is nearly zero. Thats why theres no splitting.

As you can see, one fragmentation produces a very highly substituted cation where the others do not. This will result in a lot of molecules fragmenting to produce a fragment with the mass of this more stable piece.

MS Fragmentations
Molecules will fragment at places where a resulting carbocation (or radical) will be most stable. Common places for bond fragmentation is at branch points, adjacent to carbonyls, and adjacent to N or O (because of the lone pairs that can stabilize cations). Lets take a look at the molecules we examined earlier for the proton and carbon NMR and see if the IR or MS helps out at all.

Summary
Understand, be able to explain, and be able to use 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and MS. Know what each one can tell youand what it cannot. Examine all of the spectra given to you in the packet and interpret each type of spectra and identify what the molecule is. You will be responsible for knowing and using this not only on this first exam, but also in lab, and on any exam through the rest of the semester.
