Organic Structures from Spectra, 6th Edition, is a textbook designed to teach students how to determine organic chemical structures from spectroscopic data. The text emphasizes practical problem solving, using carefully graded exercises to develop confidence and interpretative ability.
Coverage spans major analytical techniques, including infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Concise theoretical summaries accompany condensed reference tables that highlight characteristic spectral properties across common functional groups.
The volume serves students of chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacy taking introductory courses in organic chemistry. It features roughly 250 structural problems, including many based on compounds synthesized specifically for the textbook.
