(choose chapter or problem)

The proton NMR spectrum of valine methyl ester hydrochloride is summarized at the top of the next column. NH3 CH3 valine methyl ester hydrochloride OCH3 C C H H 2.49 1.15 (doublet, J = 7.0 Hz) 1.16 (doublet, J = 7.0 Hz) 4.02 doublet (J = 4.3 Hz) 3.83 (singlet) 8.85 (broad singlet) H3C C O Cl + a b c e d Note that protons He are not split by Hd (and vice versa) because protons He are rapidly exchanging. Also, the chemical shifts of protons Ha and Hb could be reversed; the important point is that they are different. (a) Explain why protons Ha and Hb have different chemical shifts and why the splitting of each is a doublet. (b) Describe the splitting of proton Hc by constructing a splitting diagram. (Hint: This is a case of multiplicative splitting; the coupling constants are shown in the structure.)
