C4H6O2: 1H NMR, δ 2.28 (2H, multiplet), 2.50 (2H, triplet), 4.35 (2H, triplet);
13C NMR, δ 177.81 (singlet), 68.58 (triplet), 27.70 (triplet), 22.17 (triplet) (ppm)

NMR

A powerful technique for determining the physical and chemical properties of atoms by studying their magnetic properties related to nuclear spin.

Triplet

A term used in quantum mechanics and spectroscopy to describe a system or state with three closely related energy levels or components.

Multiplet

In spectroscopy, refers to a pattern of two or more peaks that are closely spaced in the spectrum, indicating the presence of equivalent or similar atomic environments.

  • Perceive and review proton NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) data to reason out hydrogen environments within organic constituents.
  • Analyze carbon-13 NMR readings to identify various carbon environments within organic compounds.
  • Fuse information from several spectroscopic techniques to hypothesize the construction of organic compounds.
