Everything You Need To Know About NMR Spectra | MCAT Content
NMR spectroscopy can be a frustrating topic to study. It is lower yield and frequently challenging to grasp what's important and what isn't.
In this video, we will cover the core concepts you need to know and see how they apply to MCAT-style questions. So that you understand what the AAMC expects you to know quickly and efficiently so you can move on to higher yield topics while still covering all of your content bases.

Check out Professor Dave Explains! Much better than this
It’s so crazy. I literally just took a FL and everything I needed to improve on was on this channel, and you explained it in an unreal, amazing way!
dude this channel is absolute gold! keep it up my guy!
I tried understanding this topic for the last 2 hours and found this video and understood everything in 11 minutes wow. LIFESAVER

This is the absolute best video covering this topic and just best tutorial video in general that I have ever come across. Thank you so much!!!
THIS IS GOLD! Best summary ever.
this was so helpful! this channel is so underrated thank you for these videos!
Studying for the MCAT and completely forgot about this topic from organic chemistry, but the video helped me remember it all in a matter of minutes. Thanks!
You're a lifesaver!!! this makes so much sense now.
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m taking the MCAT Saturday and finally understand this!
As a German student about to write an exam, this video was so much more helpful than any German one Ive seen! Great explanation!
This is SO good! Thank you!
Such a useful video, all that's needed to answer NMR questions! My class skipped so I appreciate the concise and clear explanation
Absolute most clear video I’ve ever watched
by far the best explanation ive seen
excellent video and explanations! thanks

Thank you, this video was super helpful. I was just a little confused in regards to determining the # of signals for the cyclic compound and was hoping you could clarify. From the first vertical line, I understand that there are 3 unique signals, but I get a little confused on what is happening after you incorporate the horizontal line.
@EightfoldMCAT

Symmetry in a molecule can happen across multiple planes. Some people are able to see the symmetry of molecules right away but some people can’t the horizontal and vertical lines are just a tool to help you spot symmetry. In that case we drew the horizontal line after the vertical one to double check and see if the molecule was symmetrical in that plane. If the molecule isn’t symmetrical across our horizontal line we know that the hydrogens across that line are going to be unique if the molecule had been symmetrical across that line then those hydrogens would be chemically identical to one another.
My test is tomorrow, wish I would’ve found you sooner!
thanks for the clear explanation❤

Thanks for the really concise yet informative video! Question: do we count H attached to non-carbon atoms as a signal for the MCAT?
Hallelujah i finally understand NMR. Always just let my lab partner do the NMR in orgo lab

Lol. I did the same thing NMR never made sense to me until I had to figure it out for the MCAT. Glad the video helped.
Great video and animation. For integration tho, it's the signal area that corresponds to the # of hydrogens, not the peak height.
Very helpful, thanks! I have a question, do Hydrogens on amines or amides not show up and why? Will they just not be on there or will they show up in a weird/different way?
Thank you so much! If there is any way you can do a video that pertains to oxidizing and reducing agents (NaCrO2, PCC, H2 w/Pd) that would be awesome! Additionally, the line weaver bark plot can be confusing!

4:50 what is the splitting pattern of the Hydrogen in the middle of the pentane. Does it see BOTH of the 2 hydrogens next to it?

Thank you for your video ! but how is the 1.5 and 3.5 is downfield ? isn't on the right side meaning they are upfield ?
@riri5533
4 ай бұрын
I was also trying to understand this. What I understood is that both cannot be downfield. The question is asking about 3.5ppm so in comparison to 1.5ppm, 3.5 as a value is more downfield, so as a result, the is experiencing deshielding. I think you were thinking about it like both are low values so they are on the "upfield" area of the spectrum, but that is not the right way to look at it.
For chloropentane (2:36) aren't C2 and C3 equivalent? They're both CH2 groups whose neighbors are also CH2 groups?
In my Kaplan book, it says alkenes would be at 4.6-6ppm and alkynes would be at 2 to 3 ppm. That is a bit different than what you are saying here

There is a little bit of variability in where shifts show up depending on the source you reference. In this case I used my ochem textbook and rounded some of the shifts off to nicer numbers because the MCAT doesn’t expect you to be super precise hence the slight discrepancy here.
I would like to ask - for the ethyl acetate 4ppm part, as you mentioned, there are 3 Ha and 3 Hc, if so, why is the peak at 2ppm way higher than 1ppm? plz help
@EightfoldMCAT
2 жыл бұрын
That NMR is a replication of the actual NMR for ethyl acetate. Real life doesn’t alway follow the rules so sometimes the height of the peaks differs even though the integration ends up being the same. However, the MCAT shouldn’t put you in a position where you have to guess or understand the more complicated aspects of NMR. In that case you would be looking to figure out how to solve NMR questions around ethyl acetate based on one of the other factors such as splitting patterns or shifts.
