NMR Spectroscopy at U. of Wisconsin This site has some good practice problems for NMR spectra.
NMR resources:
- Worksheet
- More NMR practice
- 2D NMR examples are in this final exam. If you are given the labelled structure, you should be able to read the COSY and HMQC data to determine connectivities and make assignments. (Which peak goes with which proton or carbon.)
