Organic Chemistry Lab Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, Part II
Lecture Description
This lecture offers a step-by-step strategy for interpreting an NMR spectrum. It requires determining what pieces are present, figuring out how they go together, and then confirming the structure. Step 1 is to start with the IR spectrum to identify functional groups, especially carbonyls and alcohols. Step 2 is to analyze the molecular formula for unsaturation. Step 3 is to draw pieces of the molecule (CH₃ group, aromatic ring), and then step 4 is to confirm them. Then, put the pieces together by considering which groups are electron rich or deficient, and lastly, check the answer. The lecture ends with multiple Carbon-13 and Hydrogen-1 NMR examples and practice problems.

What would the degree of unsaturation formula be if there was a Nitrogen or a Halogen in the molecule we're analyzing in the NMR?

Hi Dr.
Thank you so much,
I have question, in the last practice, in the ring,why carbon double bond attached with ch2 and there are not close together in chemical shift?
Thanks

Good lecture! Is it possible for you to do an example with alkenes and the double bond is between two carbons?

Hi Dr Starkey,
thanks for the lectures, they are really helpful.A question that I wasn't sure of is that in example 2 the benzene ring is a singlet so if CH2 is attached to it, wouldn't that make it a triplet?

So are we saying that the H-NMR for C10 H14 is para or can it be para, meta. or ortho?

Hello dr. Starkey, at minute 93:41 you define the signal given by proton A as a "clear triplet". But wouldn't proton A couple with Hb with some J value and with Hc with some different J value (since Hb and Hc are chemically different)? So in the end wouldn't this signal look like a doublet of triplets ? Maybe it wouldn't actually be easy to notice since the J values are so similiar but at least we could see some jagged peaks, right?

Hello Dr. Starkey,
If it wasn't for your lectures there is no way I would understand this part of organic chemistry. My professor goes really fast and these lectures help me to clarify things in my head. Thank You!

Hi Professor Starkey!
I know I've told you before, but your lecturing abilities are phenomenal! I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me!
I do have a quick question. My professor for Organic 2 has clumped the second half of NMR, Ketones, Aldehydes, Carbohydrates, and Carboxylic Acids together for our upcoming exam. Your lectures have helped tremendously with all, but I'm a little lacking on the carbohydrates. I wasn't sure if I may have missed it somewhere on this website or we just don't cover it on here.
If you have any guidance, I would appreciate it tremendously! Thanks so much!

hey dr. starkey ,
Why did u choose hb for only a germinal j value. it has a vicinal j value too ? Please why did u not split that ? Thanks

Is there a way to select a lecture and be able to listen to just a part of it? For example it seems if I want to go back the next day and listen to the second part of a lecture, I have to listen to the whole first half of it first.
Thanks

Hi Dr Starkey, I don't have a question. I finished all the lectures and I can't express how much of a help it has been. Your lectures have been really concise and you break it down in a way I can finally understand and work through. I have always had a horrible time with Chemistry and this is the first time I actually feel like I can do this. (And that is a lot given how many times I had to retake Chem...) I am done my subscription and I just wanted to tell you what a big help you have been. Thank you so much. !!!

Dr. Starkey:
Just a quick note to thank you for your informative and engaging lectures. I used educator.com and your lab tutorials (Cal Poly Pomona) as supplemental sources to reinforce my understanding of my Organic Chemistry II coursework. Your detailed and clear explanations of complex concepts helped me earn an "A" in both lecture and lab. Thank you! :)

Thanks and a suggestion, it's better if you label doublet triplet etc with small letters (s,d,t) and the other A, B, C, D... that you use for identification with capital letters to avoid confusion.

Hi Professor Starkey,
I am confused about labelling some functional groups in certain areas of the spectrum where multiple groups can be found. For instance, methyl groups are found at 10-30 and methylene groups at 15-55. How would I know the difference?
Thanks

Dear Dr. Starkey:
How can one distinguish between two closely spaced singlets, and a doublet with a large coupling constant (J value)? At 73:30 you examine a doublet with a large coupling constant, but how can one be certain that it is a doublet with a large coupling constant rather than two closely spaced singlets (since in this case examining the ratios does not help)?
Also, do you have any lectures on Mass Spectrometry? I wasn't sure whether they are included in the course and I just wasn't able to locate it in the Table of Contents.
Thank you again for your clear presentation of the material!

Dear Professor,
First of all, I wanted to thank you for the great lectures you provide.
Second, I was wondering if the 13C-NMR is going to be thought in a more complex way in Educator. The organic chem I am enrolled in emphasizes a lot more on how to read 13C-NMR without the help of IR or 1H-NMR and it's really complicated and I'd appreciate it if you provide more videos for us, or just refer me to a place which I can find helpful information.
My course actually emphasizes on how different fragments of molecules appear on NMR and which bonds are cleaved and molecular ions are created.
Thank you so much,
Ghazal F

Hi DR starkey,
I have a question about an NMR.
I only have hydrogen NMR with a d20 shake.
The question is stating that 3200 - 3500 which specifies an alcohol group.
NO OTHER IR INFO.
NO C NMR spcetrum is given
Find compound A, only H NMR spectrum
ION IS 84M/Z
USED SULFURIC ACID IN AN ELIMANTION REACTION to form an alkene
FIND COMPUND B, only H NMR spectrum
This is an assignment question!!!
I also have the multiplicities for the hydrogens for compound A and B. How many carbons?
I'M CURRENTLY TAKING ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2 AND THAN I WILL BE TAKING ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 3 LATER.
What would be the best strategy to solve this problem!!! Also where can I find a chart with all energy levels in Joules.
I enjoy your lecture alot and I'm in a hurry because I have a lab to do for Wensday and I must have this question done for Monday.
Thank you
Jason Jarduck
