Exam 4 Flashcards
What are the trends of wavenumber?
Frequency increases with increasing bond strength (bond order 1-3) and higher percentage of s character
Decreases with increasing atomic mass and presence of conjugation
What is a 1200 cm-1?
C-C and C-N
What is at 1600 cm-1?
C=N (usually intense) and C=C aromatic (usually two skinny spikes, often have squigglies around 2000 and spikes just below 1500, tends to shrink sp2)
What is at 1620-1640 cm-1?
Conjugated C=C
What is at 1660 cm-1?
C=C (isolated 1640-1680)
What is at 1710 cm-1?
C=O of ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids
+huge OH stretch - carboxylic acid
+2 C-H signals ~2700, 2800 aldehyde
(ketones & some aldehydes often have overtones beyond 3000)
What is at 1630-1660 cm-1?
C=O of amide
What is at 2200 cm-1?
C=-C <2200 with sp C-H 3300
C=-N >2200 no sp C-H 3300
What is at 2700cm-1?
First C-H spike of aldehyde
What is at 2800-3000?
sp3 and 2800- second C-H spike of aldehyde
What is at 3000 - 3100cm-1?
sp2
What is at 3300cm-1?
sp
OH when round
NH with spikes, secondary-1 spike, primary- 2 spikes (look for broad NH deformation around 1600)
If there is M+2 as large as M+
It is Bromine
If there is a M+2 a third as large as M+
There is a Chlorine
If there is a 127 large gap
There is an Iodine
If there is an odd M+ and some even fragments
there is a Nitrogen
If there is a M+2 larger than usual (4% of M+)
There is a Sulfur
Characteristics and function of molecular ions?
No fragmentation, usually highest mass and even-numbered.
The value of m/z for the molecular ion gives the molecular weight of the compound
What is fragmenation?
When instead of the radical cation (the molecular ion) there is a cation fragment (observed) and a radical fragment (not observed)
NOT Random: forms most stable fragments
Odd Numbered
Where do aromatic rings fragment?
At the carbon next to the aromatic ring (benzylic carbon)
How do ethers, amines, and carbonyl compounds fragment?
to give resonance stabilized carbons
Oxygen and nitrogen atoms have non-bonding electrons that stabilize positive charge
What about the molecular ion of alcohol?
It is often very weak or absent
There is a favorable loss of water and common fragment next to carbinol carbon atom giving a resonance-stabilized carbocation
Fragmentation: Alpha cleavage, form water (double bond) –> fragments again
What are the rounded masses of C, H, O, N, Cl, Br, I
C:12
H:1
O:16
N:14
Cl: 35
Br: 80
I: 127
What is the coupling constant 10 Hz?
cis
What is the coupling constant 15 Hz?
trans
What is the coupling constant 2 Hz?
geminal
What does the ball park range of 0-1.5 ppm indicate?
Alkane (changes with atoms surrounding)
What does the ball park range of 3-4 ppm indicate?
Hydrogens bonded to a C bonded to an halide
What does the ball park range of 5.5-6.5 ppm indicate?
alkene
What does the ball park range of 6.5-8.5 ppm indicate?
aromatic
What does the ball park range of 9-10 ppm indicate?
aldehyde
