Interpreting NMR Spectra Is Not Impossible!: A Primer for an Organic Chemistry Course

By Michael S. Leonard

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.
