Same Material, Two Skills • Predicting proton spectra: given a structure, what will the proton NMR look like? • Useful in synthesis of known target • A little more straightforward • Interpreting proton spectra: given a spectrum, what is the structure of compound • Identify an unknown; side products in synthesis • More experience needed
Predicting Spectra • Step 1: Identify number of signals
Predicting Spectra • Step 2: Table of data
Predicting Spectra • Step 3: Draw spectrum
Practice • Make problems for yourself: ChemDraw • Don’t do chiral compounds
