I'm taking an Organic Chemistry lab and the first assignment is about NMR. I never had much training about NMR in my lecture classes (I've taken both semesters of OChem lecture), so I'm having trouble with the problem set. How do you go about drawing an NMR, for example toluene? Do you just identify how many different kinds of hydrogens there are and look up in a table where the peak should be, and draw the appropriate splitting? How do you know how tall to draw the peak, or whether something should be more upfield/downfield? And does anyone know of a website that will allow you to type in the name/formula of something and view the NMR so I can make sure I'm doing it right? Sorry for so many questions, but my TA didn't give us any help, and my book isn't too helpful either.
