  1. UNEQUAL COUPLING TREE DIAGRAMS SPLITTING DIAGRAMS aka “TREE” DIAGRAMS

  2. WHERE DOES THE N+1 RULE WORK ? The n+1 rule works only for protons in aliphatic chains and rings, and then under special conditions. There are two requirements for the n+1 rule to work: 1) All 3J values must be the same all along the chain. 2) There must be free rotation or inversion (rings) to make all of the hydrogens on a single carbon be nearly equivalent.

  3. H H H C C C H H H 3Ja = 3Jb THE TYPICAL SITUATION WHERE THE n+1 RULE APPLIES Hydrogens can interchange their positions by rotations about the C-C bonds. This makes all the hydrogens on each of the carbon atoms equivalent. All the couplings along the chain have the same J value.

  4. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE J VALUES ARE NOT EQUAL ? H H H 3Ja=3Jb C C C H H H 3Ja3Jb In this situation each coupling must be considered independently of the other. A “splitting tree” is constructed

  5. H H H C C C H H H 7 Hz 3 Hz USE THESE VALUES

  6. CONSTRUCTING A TREE DIAGRAM SPLITTING FROM HYDROGENS TO THE LEFT H H H -CH2-CH2-CH2- LEVEL ONE C C C The largest J value is usually used first. H H H Two neighbors gives a triplet. 3Ja = 7 The next splittings will be added to eachleg of the first splitting. Each level of the splitting uses the n+1 rule.

  7. H H H C C C H H H CONSTRUCTING A TREE DIAGRAM ADD SPLITTING FROM HYDROGENS TO THE RIGHT H H H -CH2-CH2-CH2- C C C H H H 3Ja = 7 3Jb = 3 FIRST LEVEL SECOND LEVEL LEVEL TWO triplet of triplets The smaller splitting is used second. EACH LEG OF LEVEL ONE IS SPLIT It is also a triplet.

  8. WHEN BOTH 3J VALUES ARE THE SAME The n+1 rule is followed ….. LEVEL ONE -CH2-CH2-CH2- Splitting from hydrogens on the left INTENSITIES n+1 = (4 + 1) = 5 1:2:1 1:2:1 LEVEL TWO 1:2:1 Splitting from hydrogens on the right 1:2:1 + 1:4:6:4:1 Splittings overlap ….. because of overlapping legs. You get the quintet predicted by the n+1 rule. WHEN THE n+1 RULE APPLIES WE CAN JUMP TO THE FINAL RESULT - NO TREE NEEDED

  9. 2-PHENYLPROPANAL A case where there are unequal J values.
