Publisher Description

A Practical Guide to Structure Determination in Organic Chemistry offers a highly accessible and hands-on introduction to identifying the molecular structure of organic compounds from spectroscopic sets out a systematic approach to using and integrating spectroscopic data in a way that helps the reader to develop their skills in interpreting MS, NMR, and IR spectra in order to solve structure determination problems. In-depthdiscussions of worked examples show how to effectively gather and evaluate clues from different types of spectra, and a set of practice problems allows students to apply these principles themselves to deepentheir understanding. The book also offers insights into how more advanced NMR and MS techniques, including two-dimensional NMR and tandem mass spectral methods, are used and can provide clues for finalizing the assignment of molecular structure in challenging cases. Key features- Introduces a systematic approach for determining the molecular structure of organic compounds by drawing on data from different spectroscopictechniques- Exemplifies strategies for determining structures by working through detailed worked examples step-by-step- Provides more than 15 practice problems that increase in difficulty and allowthe reader to build their skills in structural analysis- Includes a handy checklist of information that can be derived from different types of spectra and practical tips for interpreting real-world samples Digital formats and resourcesA Practical Guide to Structure Determination in Organic Chemistry is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of e-book and Science Trove offer amobile experience and convenient access, along with functionality tools and navigation features:
