Project 1: FT -NMR of Aspirin
Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) Spectroscopy is a powerful method used in the determination of the structure of unknown organic compounds
Students will be using NMR extensively to help assign structures to organic compounds, namely aspirin and other medicinal compounds.
The 1H NMR spectrum of an organic compound provides information concerning:
the # of different types of hydrogens present in the molecule
the relative #'s of the different types of hydrogens
the electronic environment of the different types of hydrogens
the number of hydrogen "neighbor" a hydrogen has
