How do you find the Diastereotopic Proton?

How do you find the Diastereotopic Proton?

The most common set of nonequivalent protons that you will hear bout in your course is going to be the diastereotopic protons. If replacing two protons with a different group (X) gives a pair of diastereomers, the protons are called Diastereotopic.

How can you tell if two protons are Diastereotopic?

Look at the molecule below – (R)-butan-2-ol. Replacement of the red H leads to the (R, R) product. Replacement of the blue H leads to the (R, S) product. Therefore, these two products are diastereomers, and the two protons are diastereotopic.

What are Diastereotopic groups in NMR?

5.2. 4 Diastereotopic hydrogens (or groups)

• Achiral reagents can, in principle, distinguish between diastereotopic hydrogens (e.g. for steric reasons).
• Diastereotopic hydrogens are non-equivalent, so in an NMR spectrum they will appear at different (but possibly similar) chemical shifts.

What does Diastereotopic mean?

The stereochemical term diastereotopic refers to the relationship between two groups in a molecule which, if replaced, would generate compounds that are diastereomers. Diastereotopic groups are often, but not always, identical groups attached to the same atom in a molecule containing at least one chiral center.

Do Diastereotopic protons split?

Therefore, the two protons are in the same physical environment. As such, they are chemically equivalent, and thus they do not split each other. (If there were another chiral center in the molecule, then H1 and H2 would be diastereotopic, and not chemically equivalent.)

What is Enantiotopic Diastereotopic?

Enantiotopic faces, atoms or groups look the same on their own, but will react differently with chiral molecules. Diastereotopic faces, atoms or groups always appear different.

Do geminal protons have a couple?

The geminal protons are labeled HA and HB rather than HA and HX because they have similar chemical shifts (A and B are close in the alphabet). They are chemical shift equivalent and hence, do not couple with each other. The chemical shift results from the deshielding effect of the strongly electronegative oxygen atom.

Can Pascal’s Triangle be used to predict the shape of peaks?

The Pascal’s triangle is a graphical device used to predict the ratio of heights of lines in a split NMR peak.

What is J value NMR?

The coupling constant, J (usually in frequency units, Hz) is a measure of the interaction between a pair of protons. Coupling between H atoms that are more than 3 bonds is also possible and is known as “long range coupling”. In general, the more bonds involved between the H that are coupling, the smaller the J value.

What is Diastereotopic face?

Prochirality is the idea that a set of achiral groups can give rise to chirality in a reaction. Enantiotopic faces, atoms or groups look the same on their own, but will react differently with chiral molecules. Diastereotopic faces, atoms or groups always appear different.
