This spectrum has several interesting features. First, hydrogens
A, B & C are clearly different, and are spin-coupled to each other.
Hydrogens B & C are
geminally related, whereas A is oriented to B & C in a vicinal
manner. Since JAB and JBC are similar, the
HB signal is a broad triplet. Although hydrogens D & E
might seem identical at first glance, they are diastereotopic,
and should therefore have different chemical shifts. The DE geminal
coupling constant is 11.7 Hz, so each of these hydrogens appears as
a doublet of doublets. |
