This blog is a learning resource for undergraduate students studying organic chemistry. It consists of a database of actual questions and answers about organic chemistry collected by a chemistry professor teaching the subject.
How does a chiral center affect the number of signals in H-NMR? (It can make some nuclei diastereotopic, and therefore, non-equivalent, so the number of signals increases. - GS).
What makes a peak more intense in IR Spec? (Larger change in the dipole moment during the vibration, corresponding to that peak. - GS).
