ABSTRACT

The experiment performed a series of experiments using hydrogen, carbon and

oxygen. They made nine different compounds all with the following elemental composition
which are Carbon 64.3%, Oxygen 28.6% and Hydrogen 7.2% and a relative molecular mass
of 112.1 g mol-1. We need to determine what type and the structure of the compound given
from compound A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. This compound can be determined by using
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy instrument. Besides that, we need to draw
the structure of the compound by look different chemical shift of one can easily assign peaks
in the NMR data to specific functional groups based the data given.

INTRODUCTION
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very useful tool used widely in
modern organic chemistry. It exploits the differences in the magnetic properties of different
nuclei in a molecule to yield information about the chemical environment of the nuclei, and
subsequently the molecule, in question. NMR analysis lends itself to scientists more easily
than say the more cryptic data achieved form ultraviolet or infrared spectra because the
differences in magnetic properties lend themselves to scientists very well. The chemical shifts
that are characteristic of different chemical environments and the multiplicity of the peaks fit
well with our conception of the way molecules are structured.
Using NMR spectroscopy, we can differentiate between constitutional isomers,
stereoisomers, and enantiomers. The latter two of these three classifications require close
examination of the differences in NMR spectra associated with changes in chemical
environment due to symmetry differences; however, the differentiation of constitutional
isomers can be easily obtained. Nuclei both possess charge and spin, or angular momentum,
and from basic physics we know that a spinning charge generates a magnetic moment. The
specific nature of this magnetic moment is the main concern of NMR spectroscopy.
For proton NMR, the local chemical environment makes different protons in a molecule
resonate at different frequencies. This difference in resonance frequencies can be converted
into a chemical shift () for each nucleus being studied. Because each chemical environment
results in a different chemical shift, one can easily assign peaks in the NMR data to specific
functional groups based upon president. Presidents for chemical shifts can be found in any
number of basic NMR.
