Introduction of AES, NMR, and Laser Shu-Ping Lin, Ph.D Modern Optical Spectroscopy Introduction of AES, NMR, and Laser Shu-Ping Lin, Ph.D. Institute of Biomedical Engineering E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://web.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy Molecular Spectroscopy Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy: A spectroscopic technique that gives us information about the number and types of atoms in a molecule, for example, about the number and types of 1 hydrogen atoms using H-NMR spectroscopy. 13 carbon atoms using C-NMR spectroscopy. 31 phosphorus atoms using P-NMR spectroscopy. Nuclear Spin States An electron has a spin quantum number of 1/2 with allowed values of +1/2 and -1/2. This spinning charge has an associated magnetic field. In effect, an electron behaves as if it is a tiny bar magnet and has what is called a magnetic moment. The same effect holds for certain atomic nuclei. Any atomic nucleus that has an odd mass number, an odd atomic number, or both, also has a spin and a resulting nuclear magnetic moment. The allowed nuclear spin states are determined by the spin quantum number, I, of the nucleus. The Chemistry of Life - Atoms The basic unit of each chemical element is the atom. Atoms have a large nucleus, composed of protons and neutrons held together by the Strong Force. The electrons "orbit" the nucleus, attracted by the Electrical Force. The number of protons determines the chemical element, and the number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element.

When placed in a strong external magnetic field of strength H0, however, interaction between nuclear spins and the applied magnetic field is quantized. The result is that only certain orientations of nuclear magnetic moments are allowed. Nuclear Spins in H0 1 13 for H and C, only two orientations are allowed. Nuclear Spins in H0 In an applied field strength of 7.05T the difference in energy between nuclear spin states for 1 H is approximately 0.120 J (0.0286 cal)/mol, which corresponds to a frequency of 300 MHz (300,000,000 Hz). 13 C is approximately 0.030 J (0.00715 cal)/mol, which corresponds to a frequency of 75MHz (75,000,000 Hz). Nuclear Spin in H0 The energy difference between allowed spin states increases linearly with applied field strength. 1 Values shown here are for H nuclei. 在較強磁場中,二自旋狀態之能量差△E,比在較 弱磁場中之能量差更大。其能量差△E與磁場強度Ho成 正比,即 h EH (12-1) 2 o 其中 △E=α及β自旋狀態之能量差 h=蒲郎克常數 Ho=外磁場強度,高斯 (gauss) γ=迴轉磁係數 (gyromagnetic ratio),每一質子為 26,753-1高斯-1 當一質子在合適磁場接受一光子時,可由α-自旋 狀態跳至β-自旋狀態,稱此原子核是共振 (resonance)。 一光子的能量以E=hν表示,此式與式 (12-1) 合併可得 h E h H (12-2) 2 o 解出為ν 1 H 2 o (12-3) 一質子之26,753-1高斯-1 1 (26,753)H 4257.8 s11高斯 H (高斯 ) (12-4) 2 oo 質子共振頻率發生於光譜的無線電頻率區。對 於共振所需無線電頻率可由磁場Ho求出。 最常用的NMR操作頻率為60~300MHz(60~300百 萬赫 ) 相當於14,092 高斯的磁場。對於較高解析度的 NMR,則使用300~600MHz之頻率操作。 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance When nuclei with a spin quantum number of 1/2 are placed in an applied field, a small majority of nuclear spins are aligned with the applied field in the lower energy state. The nucleus begins to precess and traces out a cone-shaped surface, in much the same way a spinning top or gyroscope traces out a cone- shaped surface as it precesses in the earth’s gravitational field. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance If the precessing nucleus is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation of the same frequency as the rate of precession, the two frequencies couple energy is absorbed the nuclear spin is flipped from spin state +1/2 (with the applied field) to -1/2 (against the applied field). Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (a) Precession and (b) after absorption of electromagnetic radiation. Bo=Ho Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Resonance: In NMR spectroscopy, resonance is the absorption of energy by a precessing nucleus and the resulting “flip” of its nuclear spin from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. The precessing spins induce an oscillating magnetic field that is recorded as a signal by the instrument. Signal: A recording in an NMR spectrum of a nuclear magnetic resonance. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 1 If we were dealing with H nuclei isolated from all other atoms and electrons, any combination of applied field and radiation that produces a signal for one 1H would produce a signal for all 1H. The same is true of 13C nuclei. Hydrogens in organic molecules, however, are not isolated from all other atoms. They are surrounded by electrons, which are caused to circulate by the presence of the applied field. The circulation of electrons around a nucleus in an applied field is called diamagnetic current and the nuclear shielding resulting from it is called diamagnetic shielding. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance The difference in resonance frequencies among the various hydrogen nuclei within a molecule due to shielding/deshielding is generally very small. The difference in resonance frequencies for hydrogens in CH3Cl compared to CH3F under an applied field of 7.05T is only 360 Hz, which is 1.2 parts per million (ppm) compared with the irradiating frequency. 360 Hz 1.2 = 6 = 1.2 ppm 300 x 106 Hz 10 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Signals are measured relative to the signal of the reference compound tetramethylsilane (TMS). CH3 CH3 Si CH3 CH3 Tetramethylsilane (TMS) 1 For a H-NMR spectrum, signals are reported by their shift from the 12 H signal in TMS. 13 For a C-NMR spectrum, signals are reported by their shift from the 4 C signal in TMS. Chemical shift (): The shift in ppm of an NMR signal from the signal of TMS. Chemical Shift - 1H-NMR Chemical shift δ is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) by frequency, because it is calculated from: Since the numerator is usually in hertz, and the denominator in megahertz, delta is expressed in ppm. NMR signal that absorbs at 300 Hz lower than does TMS at an applied frequency of 300 MHz has a chemical shift of: Although the frequency depends on the applied field the chemical shift is independent of it. On the other hand the resolution of NMR will increase with applied magnetic field resulting in ever increasing chemical shift changes NMR Spectrometer Schematic diagram of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. NMR Spectrometer Essentials of an NMR spectrometer are a powerful magnet, a radio-frequency generator, and a radio-frequency detector. The sample is dissolved in a solvent, most commonly CDCl3 or D2O, and placed in a sample tube which is then suspended in the magnetic field and set spinning. Using a Fourier transform NMR (FT-NMR) spectrometer, a spectrum can be recorded in about 2 seconds. NMR Spectrum 1 H-NMR spectrum of methyl acetate.

    Chapter 8. Chiral Catalysts José M. Fraile, José I. García, José A. Mayoral 1. The Origin of Enantioselectivity in Catalytic Processes: the Nanoscale of Enantioselective Catalysis. Enantiomerically pure compounds are extremely important in fields such as medicine and pharmacy, nutrition, or materials with optical properties. Among the different methods to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds, asymmetric catalysis1 is probably the most interesting and challenging, in fact one single molecule of chiral catalyst can transfer its chiral information to thousands or even millions of new chiral molecules. Enantioselective reactions are the result of the competition between different possible diastereomeric reaction pathways, through diastereomeric transition states, when the prochiral substrate complexed to the chiral catalyst reacts with the corresponding reagent. The efficiency of the chirality transfer, measured as enantiomeric excess [% ee = (R−S)/(R+S) × 100], depends on electronic and steric factors in a very subtle form. A simple calculation shows that differences in energy of only 2 kcal/mol between these transition states are enough to obtain more than 90% ee, and small changes in any of the participants in the catalytic process can modify significantly this difference in energy. Those modifications may occur in the near environment of the catalytic centre, at less than 1 nm scale, but also at longer distances in the catalyst, substrate, reagent, solvent, or support in the case of immobilized catalysts. This is the reason because asymmetric

On the other hand, if it is not superimposable on the original, the molecule and its mirror image form two distinct species called enantiomers, giving rise to a type of stereoisomerism known as enantiomerism. Such molecules are called chiral and the two enantiomers are said to differ in their sense of chirality or handedness in the same way as right hand differs from the left hand. Three terms have almost been used interchangeably to describe molecules, which show enantiomerism: asymmetric, dissymmetric, and chiral.

  • Applications of Imino-Diels–Alder Reactions in Synthesis
    Applications of Imino-Diels–Alder Reactions in Synthesis A thesis presented by Jasprit Kaur Chahal As partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor Philosophy of Imperial College London Thorpe Laboratory Department of Chemistry Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ 1 Declaration of Originality The work reported in this thesis is my own and information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been appropriately referenced. 2 Abstract The aim of the project was to synthesise (−)-morphine utilising a tethered intramolecular imino-Diels–Alder reaction. This thesis begins by providing brief reviews on the subjects of total synthesis of morphine and asymmetric imino-Diels–Alder reaction. The major section focuses on the research findings in the past four years. Starting with investigations in the development of a novel stereoselective imino-Diels–Alder reaction of methyl propargyl ether derived (1 E, 3Z)-1-silyloxy-3-(phenylthio)-1,3- dienes with trans -2-phenylcyclohexyl glyoxylate derived N-tosylimine. Following with the progress made so far to synthesise triene II; this was envisaged to be prepared from the enantiomerically pure alcohol III and allylic halide IV. The alcohol III was prepared in a five-step sequence from p-anisaldehyde. However, the synthesis of the allylic halide IV from D-lyxose was more challenging and problematic. Initial efforts for its synthesis via a route incorporating the Ohira–Bestmann reaction caused an unwanted epimerisation. Further efforts, through an eleven-step sequence including Wittig dibromomethylenation and intramolecular ene–yne metathesis gave V or VI . However, the reductive eliminations to give the alcohol precursor to IV were unsuccessful.

    CHAPTER 6 Stereochemistry Intent and Purpose Stereochemistry is the study of the static and dynamic aspects of the three-dimensional shapes of molecules. It has long provided a foundation for understanding structure and re- activity. At the same time, stereochemistry constitutes an intrinsically interesting research field in its own right. Many chemists find this area of study fascinating due simply to the aes- thetic beauty associated with chemical structures, and the intriguing ability to combine the fields of geometry, topology, and chemistry in the study of three-dimensional shapes. In ad- dition, there are extremely important practical ramifications of stereochemistry. Nature is inherently chiral because the building blocks of life (␣-amino acids, nucleotides, and sugars) are chiral and appear in nature in enantiomerically pure forms. Hence, any substances cre- ated by humankind to interact with or modify nature are interacting with a chiral environ- ment. This is an important issue for bioorganic chemists, and a practical issue for pharma- ceutical chemists. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires that drugs be produced in enantiomerically pure forms, or that rigorous tests be performed to ensure that both enantiomers are safe. In addition, stereochemistry is highly relevant to unnatural systems. As we will de- scribe herein, the properties of synthetic polymers are extremely dependent upon the stereo- chemistry of the repeating units. Finally, the study of stereochemistry can be used to probe reaction mechanisms, and we will explore the stereochemical outcome of reactions through- out the chapters in parts II and III of this text. Hence, understanding stereochemistry is nec- essary for most fields of chemistry, making this chapter one of paramount importance.
