The natural abundance /sup 13/C NMR spectra of C-1 of tert-butyl alcohol were measured from known concentrations of (/sup 18/O)- and (/sup 16/O)-tert butyl alcohol in water-deuterium oxide. An upfield shift occurs because of /sup 18/O isotopic substitution at the hydroxyl carbon. The acid-catalyzed exchange of the hydroxyl oxygen of tert-butyl alcohol was measured by /sup 13/C isotope shift NMR. /sup 18/O-labelled tert-butyl alcohol was dissolved in .16 N hydrochloric acid. The loss of /sup 18/O from the C-1 position of the alcohol was measured as a function of time. By 810 m no further change was measureable. The /sup 13/C spectra were recorded on a Varian CFT-20 spectrometer at 65/sup 0/C. 2 figures.
