Andrew N. Boa, James S. O. McCullagh og Timothy D. W. Claridge A Practical Guide to Structure Determination in Organic Chemistry

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 data. It 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-depth discussions 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 deepen their 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 spectroscopic techniques - 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 allow the 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 resources A Practical Guide to Structure Determination in Organic Chemistry is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats.
