5.2 13C NMR
All 13C NMR spectra considered in this course will be
proton decoupled spectra. Proton decoupling
means one does not observe splitting of signals
which would otherwise be seen because of 13C−1H
interaction.
As stated above:
each unique carbon will give rise to a
different signal.
Consider the proton 32.1→ 10.8
decoupled 13C NMR
spectrum of butan-2-ol:

CH3CHCH2CH3
OH 'four unique carbons'
Chemical shift range for TMS
13C is generally 0 –210.

5.3.2 Position of the absorption signal
Chemical shift range for 1H generally 0 – 15. Most
signals observed in the 0 – 10 range.
For hydrogen bonded to sp3
carbon, considering the signal for: C E
