Organic Structure Analysis is an ideal text for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in organic spectroscopy. It provides students with the background necessary to effectively apply spectroscopic data in establishing features of molecular structure. Unique in its coverage, it is the only text that emphasizes strategies, interpretation, modern techniques, and problem solving. The text's major aim is to show how spectra can be efficiently examined in order to identify a molecule's major structural elements. It focuses on four techniques which are used on a day-to-day basis by most organic chemists: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectroscopy (MS), infrared (IR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS). Each chapter provides different perspectives on using spectroscopic data in a step-by-step process to establish structural features such as an overall carbon framework; the presence and location of functional groups; the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of substituents; and, finally, the absolute stereochemistry of chiral centers. Recent advances in NMR and MS have changed the way these components are introduced and used in organic spectroscopy courses. Unlike similar texts, this book provides ample, up-to-date coverage of the latest developments in NMR and MS techniques. Organic Structure Analysis adopts a practical approach to the subject which emphasizes building experience; the authors recognize that a combination of problem solving, access to data from models, and understanding the rules of spectral interpretation helps students to build expertise in structure determination from spectra. It outlines elements of theory, but with an emphasis on those directly relevant to spectral interpretation. The text is divided into three major sections; the first section provides extensive coverage of each of the individual methods, the second section illustrates how the strategies of organic structure are actually applied in ten problems whose solutions are provided, and the third section consists of fifty unsolved problems which range from simple monofunctional compounds to complex natural products.

CHOICE Review

The ability to identify a molecule's structure is essential to the practicing organic chemist. Crews and colleagues summarize the major techniques in use today: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and optical techniques. NMR and MS are deliberately emphasized as most useful; contemporary methods are highlighted. Formatted like a textbook but suitable for independent study, this clearly written book contains several helpful features. A section called "A Glimpse of . . ." begins each chapter, providing an overview of the subsequent material. Illustrative spectra are conveniently provided for each technique, strengthening the readability of the book. A chapter on strategies for structure analysis and hundreds of problems (solved and unsolved) aid the reader in applying the concepts presented. Chapter-end problems are divided into two sections, with more challenging problems clearly indicated. Two final chapters integrate all techniques, with both thoroughly worked out examples and a set of unknowns ranging from relatively simple to quite complex. Nicely complementary to Robert M. Silverstein and Francis X. Webster's Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds (6th ed., 1998; 3rd ed., CH, Dec'74), Crews and colleagues emphasize modern techniques and the problem-solving approach and may be more accessible to the novice.
