Introduction to 13C NMR

- 13C ("carbon-13") NMR spectra show one signal for each unique carbon
- chemical shifts ~0-220 ppm
- signals are all singlets (called proton-decoupled spectra)
- peak size is not quantitative, but C's without attached hydrogens are often small peaks
- # of hydrogens attached to each carbon can be determined by a DEPT experiment
(DEPT differentiates between signals arising from C, CH, CH2, and CH3 carbons)
- C isotope is only ~1% of carbons so 13C NMR requires more sample and/or more scans
