Organic Structure Determination Using 2-D NMR Spectroscopy: A Problem-Based Approach

This book contains 60 quality 2D NMR data sets following an introductory section describing the methodology employed. Many other books describe the methods used, but none offer a large number of problems. Instructors at universities and colleges at the present time are forced to cobble together problems from a wide range of sources. The fragmentary approach to assembling course materials has a negative impact on course continuity and thus adversely impacts student retention. This book will stand as a single source to which instructors and students can go to obtain a comprehensive compendium of NMR problems of varying difficulty.

• Presents strategies for assigning resonances to known structures and for deducing structures of unknown organic molecules based on their NMR spectra
• Contains 30 known and 30 unknown structure determination problems
• Features a supporting website from which instructors can download the structures of the unknowns in selected chapters, digital versions of all figures, and raw data sets for processing.
