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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @EightfoldMCAT

    @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.
