Basics of NMR & introduction to C13

NMR Spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools for structure elucidation of organic compounds & is a module that is often covered in conjunction with synthesis of organic compounds. Structure of organic compounds play a crucial role in determining their properties. Hence, to be able to accurately describe the structure using spectroscopic measurements has become an integral part of a synthetic chemist. Students of chemistry, pharmacy, polymer technology will benefit from this introductory course which builds on from absolute basics. The course is a comprehensive practical guide to NMR spectroscopy and covers the basics concepts involved and extends to a very powerful exploratory tool in structure elucidation available to an organic chemist- C13 NMR Spectroscopy. It is divided into three sections. Section 1 covers all the basics of NMR spectroscopy and builds up to Section 2 where we discuss the important concepts that will lead to an introductory module on C13 NMR spectroscopy in Section 3. Fundamentals like NMR active nuclei, shift and chemical shifts, coupling interactions and coupling constant have been covered in the course. The flow of subject matter will help the learners to link one module with the other to understand the topic in a more holistic manner.
