Author Description

Structure Elucidation by NMR in Organic Chemistry A Practical Guide Eberhard Breitmaier, University of Bonn, Germany This text provides the graduate student with a systematic guide to unravelling structural information from the NMR spectra of unknown synthetic and natural products. 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 interpret spectra into meaningful structural information. The book provides the student with 50 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 problem, followed by possible solutions and full explanations. A full list of solutions is provided at the end of the book.
