KIM 473E - Organic Structure Analysis

Course Objectives

Course Description
1. Short introduction to organic structure analysis. Elemental analysis. 2. UV Spectroscopy: Chromophore and auxochrome groups, electronic transitions, several examples from conjugated olefins, carbonyl compounds and aromatics. 3. IR Spectroscopy: Bond vibrational levels and functional groups, vibrational modes, CH, OH and NH bands, bands of major sp and sp2 hybridized functions, C-O and C-N bands. 4. Mass Spectrometry: Fragmentation patterns of molecules, effect of isotopes, determination of the molecular mass. 5. NMR Spectroscopy: Nuclear spin and classification of nuclei, behavior in external magnetic field, basic concepts, chemical shift and its reasons, effect of alkyl groups, multiple bonds and magnetic anisotropy, spin-spin coupling and J values, long- range couplings, 1H and 13C NMR and examples for various chemical shifts and coupling constants.
