Question

The following tables are 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectrum of cis-4-t-butylcyclohexanol and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol. According to the table, what are the relative proportions of the two isomeric products? What does that tell you about the mechanism of the reduction reaction and the stereochemistry of the starting material, products and intermediates?

1. cis-4-t-butylcyclohexanol

2. trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol

Explanation / Answer

NMR technique is useful to estimate percentage of isomers when both the isomers are in same spectra. If a reaction yielded an unresolable isomers then the obtained H-NMR is comprises both the isomers peaks. then we can compare the area of peaks corresponding to both isomers resembles their isomeric percentage. Here, you are provided H-NMR and C-NMR of individual isomers. From individual isomeric spectra, we can not able to calculate isomeric percentage because comparision of prak intensities is not possible.

Isomeric product percentage of a particular reaction can be esimated analytically from thin layer chromatography and quantitatively by isolating products and their wieghts through column chromatography or by any other techniques (preparative TLC or quantitative HPLC).
