Exam points

  • Count distinct ¹H NMR signals and assign chemical environments from molecular symmetry and proton equivalence.
  • Interpret chemical shifts, integration traces, area ratios and splitting patterns to determine proton types and relative numbers.
  • Combine proton-NMR environments, shifts and integration with a molecular formula or other evidence to deduce and distinguish organic structures.
