Proton NMR - How To Analyze The Peaks Of H-NMR Spectroscopy

This video takes you through the four key aspects you need to understand when interpreting the peaks of an H-NMR graph
- Number and type of unique hydrogen
- splitting of peaks
- hydrogen neighbors
- chemical shifts

Future videos will take you through specific NMR problems and solving techniques

I also offer 1-1 online organic chemistry tutoring. More information here:

Takes you 11:30 minutes to explain the basics of NMR in a way that I understood compare to 3 hours in class. Your explanations are always so clear. THANK YOU! 

[ramezderyas]

Wish people like you were getting my tuition money haha..

I have just started a biochem graduate program and I'm learning about NMR. I have been off school since 2007, working with biology for the most part. Your channel is a life saver for me. Thanks a million times...

[rearlult]

you're great since it was uploaded in 2013 me as a student can still benefit from your work. Thank you.

[lesliegonzalez]

I learn more in 15 minutes of your videos than I do in 2 semesters worth of lectures... I’d rather pay you over my tuition 😂

[dikshasatish]

absolutely singlehandedly saving my orgo grade rn.

9:44 did you mean to say deshield the hydrogens causing them to shift left?

[brendenfraser]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a midterm this week that I didn't feel prepared for at all, until i started watching your videos. awesome.

Thanks Leah, I'm finally understanding this topic. You are definitely an asset to education which I believe is a way to overcome poverty and injustice throughout this world. Teach on!

[curlyswirly]

Ive been watching the same Khan academy for a few days and its hard to understand it sometimes. Thank you for this video. It really helped

[DawaStories]

at 6:56, why you said 2H? It should be 4 H since we have 4 tips with 3 n, right?

[mandyata]

If Leah Fisch was my lecturer I would never ever miss a Spectroscopy class.
Lovely video.

[Emilia-wedc]

I can't believe how simply you just made this for me. Thank you.

[voltage]

I can’t believe you summed this up so well in 11 minutes while others took 3 hours and weren’t able to teach it correctly

at 3:21 the top two yellow protons are not equivalent. there is a chiral carbon at the connection to the methyl. thats why the 2 yellow protons are diastereotype protons. one is above and one below the ring. they are not equivalent. There are six types of different protons in this molecule.

so who's cramming for finals rn am i right

[matthewbelczyk]

Thank you for explaining this. Orgo I was pretty easy, but now I’m starting Orgo II and NMR seems completely out of left field. This explains it much clearer!!!

[jarmst]

This is probably the easiest NMR tutorial I've ever seen.  Thank you.

[snowboardude]

Oh my god this is magic. I was thought I was going to lose my A in Ochem all because of these damn NMR readings.

[fabersoul_beats]

i like your set up, very good. the colors made it very easy to understand. great great video.
