The picoSpin 45 1H NMR spectrometer has a wide range of utility in chemical education. With NMR, these structural changes are easily observed in the 1H spectrum. As the OH functional is repositioned along the carbon backbone, it influences both multiplicity and the chemical shift position of adjacent protons, often resulting in improved spectral clarity. The NMR spectrum of these isomers is distinct due to these changes in connectivity, which in turn affects the local molecular symmetry and splitting patterns arising from differences in the number of 1H- 1H couplings. The positional isomers 1-butanol and 2-butanol differ from the constitutional isomers isobutanol and tert-butanol in their carbon backbone connectivity. From bottom up, the spectra are of 1-butanol in CHCl 3, 2-butanol in acetone, isobutanol in acetone and tert-butanol in CHCl 3.
#ESPECTRO RMN ETANOL SERIES#
This series of spectra compiles the experimental 1H NMR spectra of the four regioisomers of butanol. Spectra of the isomers of butanol obtained using the Thermo Scientific picoSpin 45 spectrometer are distinct. This biobutanol is a compatible ‘drop-in’ fuel alternative to ethanol that can be used with existing car engines. Increasingly, however, biomass conversion processes akin to ethanol fermentation of high-energy renewable feedstocks is being applied to the production of butanol. Butanol is produced conventionally from petrochemical stock. The linear chain 1-butanol is a primary alcohol that has high commercial value as a transport fuel, similar to ethanol, and can be used in the production alternative gasoline fuel blends and jet fuels.
It has use as a cleaner and in floor polishers it is used in the production of cosmetics, such as lipstick and foundation, and as an extraction solvent in the production of drugs, hormones and antibiotics. In general, butanol is used as solvents in paints, resins, fats and waxes and in industrial coatings, as raw materials and chemical intermediates in the production of safety glass, hydraulic fluids, plastics and rubber. Isomers of butanol also offer a diverse mix of industrial and commercial applications.
In chemistry education, butanol offers an easily accessible series of isomers for studying the effect of structure on reaction mechanism, synthesis, chemical properties, thermodynamics and spectroscopy. Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but which the connectivity of the atoms differ. Butanol, C 4H 9OH, is a high value C4 alcohol collectively represented by four isomeric structures: 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol and tert-butanol.
