Description - Organic Structures from Spectra by L. D. Field

The derivation of structural information from spectroscopic data
is now an integral part of organic chemistry courses at all
Universities.  A critical part of any such course is a
suitable set of problems to develop the student?s
understanding of how structures are determined from
spectra. 
Organic Structures from Spectra, Fifth Edition is a
carefully chosen set of more than 280 structural problems employing
the major modern spectroscopic techniques, a selection of 27
problems using 2D-NMR spectroscopy, more than 20 problems
specifically dealing with the interpretation of spin-spin coupling
in proton NMR spectra and 8 problems based on the quantitative
analysis of mixtures using proton and carbon NMR
spectroscopy.  All of the problems are graded to develop and
consolidate the student?s understanding of organic
spectroscopy.  The accompanying text is descriptive and only
explains the underlying theory at a level which is sufficient to
tackle the problems.  The text includes condensed tables of
characteristic spectral properties covering the frequently
encountered functional groups.
The examples themselves have been selected to include all
important common structural features found in organic compounds and
to emphasise connectivity arguments.  Many of the compounds
were synthesised specifically for this purpose.  There are
many more easy problems, to build confidence and demonstrate basic
principles, than in other collections. 
The fifth edition of this popular textbook:
? includes more than 250 new spectra and more than 25
completely new problems;

? now incorporates an expanded suite of new problems
dealing with the analysis of 2D NMR spectra (COSY, C H Correlation
spectroscopy, HMBC, NOESY and TOCSY); 

? has been expanded and updated to reflect the new
developments in NMR and to retire older techniques that are no
longer in common use;

? provides a set of problems dealing specifically with
the quantitative analysis of mixtures using NMR spectroscopy;

? features proton NMR spectra obtained at 200, 400 and
600 MHz and 13C NMR spectra include DEPT experiments as well as
proton-coupled experiments;

? contains 6 problems in the style of the experimental
section of a research paper and two examples of fully worked
solutions.
Organic Structures from Spectra, Fifth Edition will prove
invaluable for students of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biochemistry
taking a first course in Organic Chemistry.

Reviews from earlier editions
?Your book is becoming one of the ?go to?
books for teaching structure determination here in the
States.  Great work!?
??I would definitely state that this book is the
most useful aid to basic organic spectroscopy teaching in existence
and I would strongly recommend every instructor in this area to use
it either as a source of examples or as a class
textbook?.

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry
?Over the past year I have trained many students using
problems in your book - they initially find it as a task.  But
after doing 3-4 problems with all their brains activities...
working out the rest of the problems become a mania.  They get
addicted to the problem solving and every time they solve a problem
by themselves, their confident level also increases.?
 ?I am teaching the fundamentals of Molecular
Spectroscopy and your books represent excellent sources of
spectroscopic problems for students.?
