Nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift references

NMR represents nuclear magnetic resonance. Chemical shifts are given as 5 values in ppm and positive to low field from the following reference substances Si(CH3)4 for and BF3-0(C2H5)2 for CFCI3 for F, H3PO4 for Sn(CH3)4 for Sn, and Pb(CH3)4... 

Key references prior to 1993 on 111 and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shifts for oxetanes are found in CHEC(1984) <1984CHEC(7)363>. Further references on 13C NMR coupling constants and chemical shifts, and 170 NMR data on oxetanones are in CHEC-II(1996) <1996CFIEC-II(1)721>. Since 1995, several NMR spectroscopy studies of oxetanes have been used for the structural identification of novel natural products (see Sections 2.05.11 and 2.05.12). 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the recovered catalysts were observed at room temperature on a high resolution spectrometer (Nihon-denshi JEOL 3H-60) at a frequency of 60 Me. Chemical shifts were measured with reference to TMS. 

All NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian A-60 spectrometer at room temperature by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Specialties, Inc., New Kensington, Pa. Benzene soluble fractions were recorded in deuterated chloroform solution (CDCls) while dimethyl sulfoxide-dc (DMSO-dr.) was the solvent employed for other fractions. (Deuterated chloroform with enrichment of 99.8% was purchased from Bio-Rad Laboratories and dimethyl sulfoxide-dr, with enrichment of 99.6% from Merck, Sharp, and Dohme of Canada.) The internal standard used with the CDCla solutions was tetramethvlsilane and hexamethyl-disiloxane (chemical shift 7 c.p.s.) with DMSO-d . Prior to preparation for NMR recording, the samples were thoroughly dried in a vacuum at 110°C. The NMR tubes were sealed to minimize the absorption of atmospheric moisture. The chemical shifts given in c.p.s. are referred to tetramethylsilane.

The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of certain pyrazoles have been studied.130 Somewhat paradoxically the hydrogen atoms in positions 3 and 5 of N-substituted pyrazoles have the same chemical shifts, though they are by no means identical chemically. (On NMR spectra of pyrazoles see also references 130a, 1306, and 130c.) It has been shown that 1,3-dialkylpyrazoles are stronger bases than the corresponding 1,5-isomers.19,44 For other physical properties, see references 131-133. 

The Eo Coulombic interaction alters the energy separation between the ground state and the excited state of the nucleus, thereby causing a slight shift in the position of the observed resonance line. The shift will be different in various chemical compounds, and for this reason is generally known as the chemical isomer shift. It is also frequently referred to as the isomer shift or chemical shift, but in view of the earlier use of these terms in optical spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy respectively, the longer expression is preferred. A less frequently used synonym is centre shift.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy first aroused the chemist s Interest when the discovery was made that the exact nuclear precession frequency is dependent upon the chemical environment of the nucleus. The displacement of the resonance frequency relative to an arbitrary standard is commonly referred to as chemical shift. Without this property, NMR would be without practical utility to the chemist as an analytical tool and it would probably long be extinct.
