Integration of H NMR Signals - Spectroscopy - Organic Chemistry
TLDRThis script explains the process of identifying protons in a ketone molecule using its hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (HMR) spectrum. It highlights the importance of integration, which measures the area under the signal's curve to determine the number of protons corresponding to each signal. The script clarifies that taller signals represent more protons, while shorter signals correspond to fewer protons. It also discusses the impact of free rotation around single bonds on the chemical environment of methyl groups, emphasizing that identical methyl groups will produce the same signal in the HMR spectrum.
Takeaways
- 🧪 The script discusses the identification of protons in a ketone molecule using its HMR (Hydrogen Magnetic Resonance) spectrum.
- 📊 Two different signals in the HMR spectrum correspond to two different types of protons within the molecule.
- 🔍 Signal A in the spectrum represents nine identical methyl protons, while Signal B represents three protons in another methyl group.
- 📝 Integration is a key concept for determining which signal corresponds to which set of protons, based on the area under the curve of the signal.
- 📐 The area under the curve is proportional to the number of hydrogen atoms contributing to each signal, which helps in signal identification.
- 📈 Signal A with nine protons will appear taller in the spectrum than Signal B with three protons, due to the greater number of contributing protons.
- 🔢 The ratio of the integral trace of two signals is proportional to the ratio of the protons that create those signals, as demonstrated by dividing the areas under the curves.
- 🌐 The tallest signal in the HMR spectrum corresponds to the most number of protons, and the shortest to the least, a principle used to match signals to protons.
- 🔬 Another example of a ketone molecule with multiple methyl groups is used to illustrate the process of signal identification through integration.
- 🔄 Free rotation around single bonds can affect the perceived chemical environment of methyl groups, but in this case, it does not change their chemical equivalence.
- 📉 Signal identification in the second example involves matching the tallest peak to the most protons (Signal A with nine), the second tallest to the next highest number (Signal B with six), and the shortest to the fewest (Signal C with three).
Q & A
What is a ketone molecule?
-A ketone molecule is a type of organic compound with a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon atoms.
What is an HMR spectrum?
-An HMR (Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectrum is a type of spectroscopy that provides information about the number and type of hydrogen atoms in a molecule.
Why are the three methyl groups in the first example considered identical for signal A?
-The three methyl groups are identical because they are in the same chemical environment and contribute equally to the signal, resulting in one signal for all nine protons.
What is the concept of integration in NMR spectroscopy?
-Integration in NMR spectroscopy refers to the process of measuring the area under the peaks in the spectrum, which is proportional to the number of protons contributing to that signal.
How does the height of a signal in an HMR spectrum relate to the number of protons?
-The height of a signal in an HMR spectrum is proportional to the number of protons contributing to that signal; a taller signal indicates more protons.
What does the ratio of the integral trace of two signals represent?
-The ratio of the integral trace of two signals is proportional to the ratio of the number of protons that make up those signals.
How does free rotation around a single bond affect the chemical environment of methyl groups?
-Free rotation around a single bond allows methyl groups to interchange positions, making them chemically equivalent and contributing to the same signal in an HMR spectrum.
Why does the tallest signal in an HMR spectrum correspond to the most number of protons?
-The tallest signal corresponds to the most number of protons because the signal's height is proportional to the number of protons contributing to it, as per the integration concept.
How can you use integration to connect a proton with the corresponding signal in an HMR spectrum?
-By comparing the integral traces of different signals, you can determine which signal corresponds to which set of protons, with the tallest signal corresponding to the most protons and the shortest to the least.
In the second example, why are the two methyl groups attached to the same carbon considered identical for signal B?
-The two methyl groups attached to the same carbon are considered identical for signal B because they are in the same chemical environment and are interchangeable due to free rotation, contributing equally to the signal.

🧪 Understanding NMR Integration in Ketone Molecules
This paragraph explains the process of identifying different types of protons within a ketone molecule using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The focus is on understanding the integration of signals in the NMR spectrum, which is crucial for determining the number of protons contributing to each signal. The speaker illustrates this by comparing the signals of two methyl groups, one with nine protons (signal A) and the other with three protons (signal B), and explains how the height of the signal correlates with the number of protons. The concept of integration is used to match signals with the corresponding protons, with the integral trace indicating the area under the curve, which is proportional to the number of hydrogen atoms. The example provided helps to clarify the relationship between signal height and the number of protons, emphasizing that the tallest signal corresponds to the most protons.
🔍 Further Exploration of NMR Signal Integration
The second paragraph delves deeper into the application of NMR signal integration, using another ketone molecule as an example. It discusses the identification of different sets of protons and their corresponding signals in the NMR spectrum. The paragraph highlights the importance of recognizing chemically identical protons, even if they appear to be in different environments due to the molecule's structure. The concept of free rotation around single bonds is introduced to explain why certain methyl groups, despite being in proximity to different functional groups, are chemically equivalent. The paragraph concludes with an exercise for the viewer to identify the correct signals for a set of methyl groups, emphasizing the use of integration to match the tallest peak with the most protons, the second tallest with the next highest number, and so on.
