Abstract:In recent years there has been a renewed interest in benchtop NMR. Given their lower cost of ownership, smaller footprint, and ease of use, they are especially suited as an educational tool. Here, a new experiment targeted at upper‐year undergraduates and first‐year graduate students follows the conversion of D‐glucose into ethanol at low‐field. First, high and low‐field data on D‐glucose are compared and students learn both the Hz and ppm scales and how J‐coupling is field‐independent. The students then acqui… Show more
