sorry sweetie didnt mean to hurt your feelings! btw we are all not in to help each other. Everyone is in it to help themselves. i tried to give you some advice and look it up. i really didnt feel like explaining the problem to you. didnt mean to offend you.

i dont HAVE MY DESTROYer in front of me but i can assure you that there are no wrong answers in the orgo section!. they dont call him orgo man for nothing! good luck




question # 144 NMR how do you figure doublet...I am having problems with NMR any help would be appreciate it....
second question: I think the answer to 152 is wrong and it should be A
these are all from OCHEM section
thanks
Hey - I think I have a diff version of destroyer from you - but the main thing about NMR is that you're counting the number of H (plus 1) on adjacent carbons...I know...I'm confusing...
For instance CH3-CH2 -0-CH2-CH3 --> then the methyl carbon would count 3 peaks (because it's adjacent carbon has 2 hydrogens (2+1)) while the CH2 carbon would have a quadruplet peak because of the 3 hydrogens from the adjacent methyl carbon (3+1). Imagine a hydrogen being hit by each of the hydrogens by the hydrogens from adjacent carbons plus an extra hit from itself.
Electron withdrawing groups like carbonyls and carboxylic acids will deshield the hydrogens on a carbon so if you have a CH3-CH2-CHO then the peaks representing CH2 hydrogens will be further down (to your left) of the NMR spectrum diagram.
Usually - there are patterns to NMRs. Like - 2:3 peak pattern is an ethyl group. Propyl group would have 3:6:3 ratio (CH3-CH2-CH2). Isopropyl group (CH3)2CH would have 7:2 ratio...
