Problem R-13A. Assign several of the protons and analyze multiplets of a steroid.
(a) Assign and analyze the following signals (report multiplicity and J values). Use the steroid numbering on the
structure:
H3, tdd, J = 11, 7, 6 Hz
δ 3.55
6
H15, ddd, J = 7, 5, 2 Hz
δ 4.55
H6, dt, J = 5, 2 Hz
δ 5.40
(b) Assign the 2-proton signal between δ 2.4 and δ 2.7. Briefly provide a rationale for this assignment. What kind
AB of ABX
of multiplet is this?
4
Apart from H3, H15 and H6, the H16 protons will be the most downfield. The large 2J (19 Hz) also means the protons
must be next to the keto group

Problem R-13C. You are given the structure of a pentose thiol triacetate and asked to determine the relative
stereochemistry and conformation from the 270 MHz 1H NMR spectrum presented on the next page.
(a) Analyze the sets of signals and show coupling constants in the standard format. When you have completed
the analysis, assign the individual protons (e.g., H5ax). Use the numbering system given on the structure in part
(b).
2
δ 3.75 dd, J = 12, 9 Hz
This must be H5a from the chemical shift - coupled gem and ax-ax.
Thus H4 must be axial.
2
δ 4.05 ddd, J = 11.5, 4.5, 1 Hz
This must be H5e - coupled gem and eq-ax. There is also a
W-coupling to the equatorial H3
4
δ 4.95 dd, 8, 2.5 - H2
br d, 8 - H1
This is an AB pattern, one half is coupled to an X proton by ca 2.5 Hz,
the other half is broadened.
These must be the H1 and H2 protons, the H1 is broadened by
exchange of the SH (which is a broad singlet at δ 2.17). The 8 Hz
coupling between H1 and H2 means both protons are axial. The small
coupling (2.5 Hz) of H2 to H3 means H3 is equatorial
2
δ 5.07 ddd, J = 8.5, 4.5, 3
This is the proton at H4, coupled to the axial proton at C5 (9 Hz) and
to the eq protons at C5 and C3. Thus H3 must be equatorial.
2
δ 5.55
This is the equatorial H3 proton, coupled twice eq-ax (2.5 Hz) to H4
and H2. There is a small W coupling to H5e.

H5a and H5e can be assigned from their chemical shifts (most upfield of the ring protons) and coupling
patterns. H5a shows, in addition to the 12 Hz gem coupling, a 9 Hz vicinal coupling, which means H4
must be axial. H4 can be assigned from the three couplings, two of which are to the H5 protons.

Problem R-13D. This problem requires you to interpret the partial 500 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of a
1,2-dimethylpiperidine deuterated 94% on the N-methyl group (source: F. A. L. Anet J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111,

Identify all of the peaks in both the top and bottom spectra. Briefly explain the pattern, extract all coupling
constants and determine exact chemical shifts, and report them in the standard format (e .g., δ 3.44, t, nJxy = 3.5
Hz).
3
The signals we are looking at are the N-CH3 protons (δ 2.17) and the N-CH2-D protons (2.11-2.17)
3
In the deuterium decoupled spectrum the singlet at δ 2.17 is N-CH3
9
In D-decoupled the AB quartet centered at δ 2.14 is the N-CH2-D group. The CH2 group is diastereotopic (there
is an asymmetric center at C-2) and so forms an AB quartet.
2
JAB = 11.7 Hz, δA = 2.15, δB = 2.13
3
Normal spectrum: each peak of the AB quartet is split into a 1:1:1 triplet by coupling to D. 2JHD = 1.7 Hz

Problem R-13E (C18H25O2PSi). In this problem you are given the structure of a phosphorus compound and
asked to interpret parts of the NMR spectrum. For each multiplet or set of multiplets report the pattern in the
standard format: δ 0.00, triplet of pentets, nJXY = 0.0 Hz. You may use first order analysis.

ABM3X
Each pattern is a doublet of pentets, J = 10, 7
Hz for the diastereotopic O-CH2-CH3 group.
The pentet arises because 3JHH to the CH3
group and 3JHP are nearly the same

JHH = 7 Hz

JHP = 7 Hz

JHH = 10 Hz
We know the 10 Hz coupling is the

Problem R-13F. Here are the two parts of quiz 217 we didn't get to finish during my first lecture.
Put your analysis (δ, J, multiplicity) in the space provide, and suggest some possible structures from
the quiz answer sheet.
Below are proton multiplets in different molecules. Analyze the pattern and extract the coupling
constants. From the chemical shift given, what kind of protons are these likely to be? What part structures
are suggested by this pattern? Find one or more molecules on the "NMR Quiz Answers" sheet that fit the
chemical shift and coupling pattern.
