1. Integrated Problems: Problem Solving

2. Problem Solving Given more information than you will use Key: focus on most helpful data Key: develop a strategy and PRACTICE Important points – Don’t look at answers-no more to learn after you see the answer – Test your own answer-If you can’t go from structure to spectra, work on that first!

3. Strategy Get a molecular formula first – EA and MS (NMR as needed) Work with formula: degrees of unsaturation IR: determine functional groups C-13 NMR: equivalence and types of carbon Proton NMR: putting it all together

4. Final Exam Lab-based questions NMR theory questions NMR Problems—solve structure, splitting patterns, etc Integrated Problems Particular aspects of problems – What does this MS fragment mean? – How would you describe NMR signal B? Simple calculators allowed No phones, laptops, etc
