Solving Spectroscopy Problems How to deduce structure from spectra? • Logical, orderly procedure • Compare information between spectra when necessary • Conservative analysis - do not discard possibilities until 100% sure • Procedure • MS gives formula • Formula gives DBE • Use formula plus DBE to guide IR analysis of functional groups • NMR gives skeleton • Assemble the pieces • Check your work!
