Organic Structures from Spectra
Third edition
edited by L.D. Field

Organic Structures for Spectra consists of a carefully selected set of 256 structural problems involving the use of all the major spectroscopic techniques and 20 problems that deal specifically with the interpretation of spin-spin coupling in proton NMR spectra. The problems are graded to develop and consolidate the student's undestanding of Organic Spectroscopy.

The accompanying text is descriptive and explains the underlying theory at a level that is appropriate for tackling the problems. The text includes condensed tables of characteristic spectral properties covering the frequently encountered functional groups.

This Third Edition features:

• Expanded and updated to reflect the new developments in the area
• Contains an additional 70 carefully chosen problems
• Features NMR spectra obtaines at 200, 400 and 600 MHz and includes a selection of DEPT experiments as well as coupled 13C NMR spectra.
• Includes 6 problems which are presented in the style of experimental sections of research papers and the appendix contains examples of fully worked solutions

Organic Structures from Spectra, Third Edition will prove invaluable for students of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biochemistry taking a first course in Organic Chemistry.
