Organic Structures from Spectra, Fourth Edition consists of a carefully selected set of over 300 structural problems involving the use of all the major spectroscopic techniques. The problems are graded to develop and consolidate the student’s understanding of Organic Spectroscopy, with the accompanying text outlining the basic theoretical aspects of major spectroscopic techniques at a level sufficient to tackle the problems. Specific changes for the new edition will include As with previous editions, this book combines basic theory, practical advice and sensible approaches to solving spectra problems. It will therefore continue to prove invaluable to students studying organic spectroscopy across a range of disciplines.
Our lab instructor gives problems from this most sessions and on exams, and they are HARD. However, if you want to learn how to use spectra to identify a compound this is a good way to go about it. My classmate commented that the spectra problems in the ACS study guide were difficult, but after twenty of these they looked like a cakewalk to me. Very helpful as practice for lab synthesis.
