Help with an NMR
« on: May 02, 2006, 09:37:30 PM »
Hi:

I am trying to interpret an NMR.  From GC/MS, bp determination, nitrous acid tests, pH tests, KBr IR I believe with great certainty that I am looking at o-nitroaniline.  I have one question, what is the broad singlet at around 6 ppm from?  I can tell that I am looking at aromatic hydrogens by where the multiplets fall in the range.  Is it from the neighboring H to the NO2 group?  There is a link at the bottom if you want to view the spectra.

Please Help.
Thanks

It's from the hydrogens on the NH2 group.

Whenever you see a broad peak in an NMR, its likely due to a proton capable of forming a hydrogen bond (e.g. N-H, O-H).

Okay, that makes more sense.  Thank you both.
