Tutorial on 2D-NMR: Using COSY & HSQC to Assist in Assigning 1H & 13C NMR Spectra
1H NMR Chemical shift (δ) depends on molecular structure and solvent 1H nuclei sensitive to hybridization of atom to which H is attached and electronic effects EDG’s shield nuclei shift upfield lower δ EWG’s deshield nuclei shift downfield higher δ Downfield Deshielded Upfield Shielded 10 ppm 0 ppm
1H NMR Spin-spin coupling effects: interaction between nuclei through bonds Causes splitting in observed peak (s, d, dd, t, m…) Coupling constants: magnitude of splitting (Hz) Hz (not ppm) since effect is independent of applied mag. fld. Caused by mag. fld. of another nuclei
2-D NMR Determine structure (especially for molecules too complicated for 1-D NMR) Involves series of 1-D NMR experiments Doesn’t need to use the complicated coupling constants
Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY) Homonuclear: plots 1H NMR on both x and y-axis Diagonal divides the spectrum into 2 equal halves Cross-signals: symmetrical to diagonal; contain the relevant info FAB-FOUR 1H NMR (~5 min) COSY (~30 min) 13C NMR (depends…) HSQC (~30 min)

Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence (HSQC) Plots 1H NMR on x-axis and 13C NMR on y-axis Utilizes 1 bond coupling between H and C Eliminating all the H containing C’s eliminates many C’s assignments Leaves only on-H containing C’s to assign
