HNMR



Summary
The content provides an in-depth explanation of how to interpret HNMR spectra, focusing on the number of peaks, integrated area, peak position, and coupling to deduce the structure of organic compounds.
  • The number of peaks in an HNMR spectrum corresponds to the number of chemically different hydrogen nuclei.
  • The integrated area under the peaks represents the relative abundance of these nuclei.
  • Peak position indicates the chemical environment or shielding of the nuclei.
  • Coupling or splitting occurs when chemically different nuclei on adjacent carbons interfere with each other's peaks.
  • Through a detailed example, the process of determining the structure of 1,1-dichloroethane from its HNMR spectrum is illustrated.
