Interpreting NMR Spectra Is Not Impossible A Primer For An Organic Chemistry Course

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the gold standard for identification of reaction products and unknown substances in the synthetic laboratory. This book is designed for Organic Chemistry lecture and/or laboratory courses at the high school or college and university level. There is a deliberate and gradual scaffolding of complexity that divides the multitude of information contained in an NMR spectrum into easily understood pieces that are introduced one at a time with ample opportunities for practice at each stage. The topics include an introduction to the theory of NMR several chapters on proton NMR (the number of signals chemical shift integration splitting and advanced topics) and carbon-13 NMR. The book culminates with twenty additional comprehensive problems. All of the problems throughout the text are accompanied by fully worked solutions with detailed explanations. The mission of this volume parallels that of the previous book in the collection: Calculating Theoretical Yield Is Not Impossible! Future volumes will address additional Organic Chemistry topics. Key Features Begins with a general explanation of how nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) functions. Dissects the coverage of proton NMR into five chapters treating each of the following concepts one at a time: the number of signals chemical shift integration splitting and advanced topics. Introduces complexity gradually. For instance all signals in the chapter on chemical shift are singlets because splitting has not yet been introduced. Includes a chapter on carbon-13 NMR. Each chapter beyond the introduction contains practice problems that reinforce the concepts and the book culminates in a chapter of twenty cumulative practice problems. All problems in the book are accompanied by fully explained and detailed solutions. |Interpreting NMR Spectra Is Not Impossible A Primer for an Organic Chemistry Course
