Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or NMR is a chemical instrument that can be used to evaluate the structure of a chemical compound other than FTIR, GC-MS, and HPLC. NMR spectroscopy commonly used for compound analysis is 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Techniques can be used to determine the structure conformation, the number of protons, and the number of carbons in the structure of a chemical compound. So far, there have been many publications related to the use of this spectroscopic technique. However, the steps in reading and interpreting the spectra of both 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR are not described in detail. Thus, in this paper, we described the steps in reading and interpreting the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra based on the level of difficulties: (1) simple compounds, (2) fairly complex compounds, (3) more complex compounds, and (4) very complex compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
