dear guys.


I need confirmation regarding my compound structure. One of the carbon peak for the compound is missing. The missing peak is the quaternary carbon sharing two chloro groups . Is it being suppressed due to the presence of the chloro group?

I am little bit confused. Anyway thanks beforehand.

What is the structure? Can you post complete spectra?

[pallidol]

here is the structure.

Can you post the complete 13C spectrum?

[pallidol]

guys i am really sorry for the mistake i have made during the uploading of the spectrums. Here i reattached the spectrums. you may take a look at it again.

Are you sure the spectra is wide enough. Just one neighboring chloro and one ketone group can give chemical shift as far as 195 ppm downfield, Then again dichloroacetaldehyde has it around 68 ppm.

Or it just comes out short due to too small D1 time.

[Irlanur]

My first guess would be that the repetition time is too short. the quaternary C will most likely have quite a long T1, so you will more or less supress it.

The typical quaternary carbon also may experience a weaker heteronuclear NOE.

yes the width is enough to show overall peaks that appear.

So that means i need to increase the resolution of my carbon scan?

[Irlanur]

no, the resolution is not the problem. If what I mentioned is indeed the problem, you should wait longer between the scans.
