The 1H NMR Spectrum game, the first example of a team-based tabletop game focused on elucidating the structures of organic small molecules using 1H NMR spectra, was developed and deployed in a college level organic chemistry lecture course and laboratory course. The tabletop game was designed as a collaborative and competitive group activity to encourage multiple rounds of play to help students reinforce their 1H NMR spectra interpretation skills. While playing in either team-based or free-for-all mode, students analyzed the provided chemical shifts, splitting patterns, integrations, and molecular formula within a designated time limit to correctly deduce the structure associated with the 1H NMR spectrum. After playing the game, students in a lecture course and a laboratory course self-reported that they felt more comfortable solving 1H NMR spectroscopy questions, found the game to be an appealing study aid, and were able to complete multiple rounds of play to strengthen their skills in interpreting 1H NMR spectra. The 1H NMR Spectrum tabletop game may serve as an engaging and competitive group learning tool to supplement teaching on 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Objective: This study was aimed to apply metabolite fingerprinting for the authentication of Curcuma xanthorrhiza adulterated with Zingiber cassumunar using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis (chemometrics) methods, namely principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Methods: The pure dried powder samples of C. xanthorrhiza from different regions, Z. cassumunar, and its binary mixtures of C. xanthorrhiza with various concentrations of Z. cassumunar as adulterants were prepared for 1H-NMR measurements. The binary mixtures were prepared by mixing C. xanthorrhiza with various concentrations (10%, 25%, 40%, 50%, and 75%) of Z. cassumunar. 1H-NMR spectra were subjected to multivariate analysis for classification using PCA and PLS-DA. Results: A diverse group of metabolites could be detected by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. PCA using the chemical shift in 1H-NMR spectra of the plant extracts as variables clearly discriminated pure C. xanthorrhiza extracts from different origins and C. xanthorrhiza extract adulterated with Z. cassumunar. PLS-DA employed to enhance the separation obtained from the PCA model resulted in well separation and good classification of pure C. xanthorrhiza from the adulterated ones. Conclusion: The developed method could be a useful and powerfull tools to assess adulteration practice and to evaluate the authentication of C. xanthorrhiza extracts.

Abstract It has been shown that the measurement of peak broadening in the 1H NMR spectra of swollen gum vulcanizates can be used as an estimate of the degree of crosslinking in the vulcanizate. A technique for applying this measurement to the individual phases of a vulcanized blend has been developed and validated, first for a physical mixture of gum vulcanizates of NR and NBR and then for a vulcanized, gum blend of these two rubbers.

Steric Crowding

Three isomers of trimethylsiloxybutene were prepared and identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy to be 2-trimethylsiloxy-1-butene and E and Z 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-butenes. E and Z isomers of 2,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy-2-butene were also prepared. 29Si and 13C chemical shifts in these compounds are interpreted. The shifts indicate that the spatial arrangements in the CH3-C-O-Si(CH3)3 fragment is the same in all the pertinent compounds. Steric crowding forces the trimethylsilyl group to assume conformations in which conjugation between unshared electrons of oxygen atom and the electrons of the double bond is inhibited. As a result, olefinic β carbons are deshielded and the shielding of the silicon is increased.

Conformational Preferences

NMR Spectra of eight ortho substituted phenoxytrimethylsilanes, 2-X-C6H4-OSi(CH3)3 (X = Cl, Br, OCH3, NH2, NO2, OSi(CH3)3, CH3, and H), are reported. In contrast to analogous ortho substituted methoxybenzenes the 13C chemical shifts of C-2 and C-6 aromatic carbons do not exhibit consistent trends indicating different conformational preferences in the trimethylsiloxybenzenes. Under the influence of the ortho substituents the nuclei of OSi(CH3)3 group (29Si, 13C, and 1H) are deshielded; compounds with X = CH3 (and H) appear anomalous in this respect. It is argued that this proximity effect is not due to an interaction involving terminal methyl groups but involves the oxygen atom of the OSi(CH3)3 group; it is most likely due to an interaction with unshared electrons of the ortho substituent.

The 1H NMR fingerprints of fractionated non-polar extracts (CSPD A) from the roots of Angelica sinensis of six different specimens were assigned by comparison with the 1H NMR spectra of the isolated pure compounds. The 1H NMR fingerprints showed exclusively characteristic resonance signals of the major constituents of the plant. The 1H NMR fingerprint established for an authentic sample of A. sinensis can be used for authenticating A. sinensis species.
