Question

What multiplicity would you expect in a 1h nmr spectrum for the indicated proton(s)?

Answer 1

The multiplicity that would be in a 1H NMR spectrum for the indicated proton(s) is triplet.

The correct answer is an option (b)

NMR spectroscopy is used to examine the structure of molecules.

Another type of additional data available from 1H NMR spectroscopy is called multiplicity.

It is useful because it reveals how many hydrogens are on the next carbon in the structure.

1H NMR is a technique to confirm the structure of organic compounds or those that contain protons.

In 1H NMR technique, multiplicity provides information about the number of proton neighbors for a particular proton atom or group of atoms (neighboring typically refers to  atoms within 3 bonds).

A solution-state proton spectrum is relatively fast to acquire, compared with other nuclei, and a lot of information about the structure of a compound can be deduced from it.

Therefore, the multiplicity that would be in a 1H NMR spectrum for the indicated proton(s) is triplet.

The correct answer is an option (b)
