Is there a way to use NMR to determine the position of substituents in a benzene
« on: October 29, 2010, 10:22:45 PM »
Hi,

as above. I wanna know if para, ortho, meta positions can be inferred from proton NMR or by other means? like IR or???

Yes. Use 1H and 13C NMR.

Sorry  , do you mind elaborating how carbon 13 nmr can determine its positions?

I don't know about ortho and meta, but for para there is a very typical pattern that appears in H NMR.

Here is an example.

On the left you can see the two symmetric doublets, which represent the two pairs of electrons which are equivalents in the para substituted aryl.

From IR spectrum you can easily determine the benzene subsititution from 2000-1600 cm-1 range (benzene fingers). And not only orto, meta, para substitutions, but tri and tetra substitued as well. Penta and hexa substitued are a bit difficult to distinquish thou.
