Structure Elucidation by NMR in Organic Chemistry

This text provides the graduate student with a systematic guide to
unravelling structural information from the NMR spectra of unknown
synthetic and natural compounds.

A brief introduction gives an overview of the basic principles and
elementary instrumental methods of NMR. This is followed by
instructional strategy and tactical advice on how to translate
spectra into meaningful structural information. The book provides
the student with 55 sets of spectra of graduated complexity. These
are designed to challenge the student's problem-solving abilities
by the introduction of new concepts with each group of problems,
followed by possible solutions and full explanations. A formula
index of solutions is provided at the end of the text.

This third edition, following on from the second (a reprint of the
first edition with corrections), presents significant new material.
Thus, actual methods of two-dimensional NMR such as some inverse
techniques of heteronuclear shift correlation, as well as the
detection of proton-proton connectivities and nuclear Overhauser
effects are included. To demonstrate the applications of these
methods, new problems have replaced those of previous editions.
