ABSTRACT
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools chemists use to determine the structure of compounds or to follow the course of a reaction. Generally, NMR spectroscopy is the technique that most chemists use first in structural analysis. This nondestructive spectroscopic analysis can reveal the number of atoms (generally carbon and proton) and their connectivities, the conformations of the molecules, as well as relative and absolute stereochemistries, to name a few parameters.
