Exam points

  • Predict or identify singlet, doublet, triplet, quartet or multiplet patterns for specified proton environments from the molecular structure.
  • Infer the number of neighbouring hydrogen atoms from a splitting pattern and apply the n+1 relationship to assign adjacent proton environments.
  • Explain an observed splitting pattern using neighbouring-proton coupling, equivalent spin orientations and the structure around the signal.

IB Chemistry HL 3.2.11 Hl Nmr Splitting Patterns Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Urea, (H2 N)2CO\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~N}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CO}, is excreted by mammals and can be used as a fertilizer.

Predict the splitting pattern of the 1H{ }^{1} \mathrm{H} NMR spectrum of urea.
