The Wittig reaction is a high-yielding, versatile synthetic procedure used to construct carbon-carbon double bonds. Unlike other sp2 bond forming reactions this can be used to provide convenient access to a cis– stereochemistry. At the time the reaction was discovered by Georg Wittig, this cis– confirmation was not reliably afforded by other synthetic means. To …

Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) is a double resonance pulse program that transfers polarization from an excited nucleus to another – most commonly 1H → 13C. This results in a sensitivity enhancement relative to the standard decoupled 1D carbon spectra (13C), which benefits only from the small Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) enhancements.

The compact NMR 60PRO can acquire both, coupled 31P and decoupled 31P NMR spectra. Benchtop NMR 1-855-NMREADY (667-3239) toll-free in the US and Canada

There is no element on earth that gets as much air-time as carbon. I mean, let’s be honest, when’s the last time you caught up on the news when you didn’t see carbon in the limelight – 

The folks at Mestrelab have been hosting a great webinar series featuring talks from various NMR vendors on applications, with a heavy emphasis on the growing field of benchtop

A 1D proton NMR spectrum can contain a great deal of information, including:

(a) chemical shifts (what types of protons you have);

When it comes to some applications – like academic teaching for example – the addition of a hands-on access to an NMR spectrometer directly in the lab is very attractive, but the added

The global fish oil market is a billion dollar industry. Why? Well, omega-3’s and fish oil supplements are considered to have health benefits that include ...

People who are familiar with acquiring spectra on high-field NMR spectrometers are used to spinning their sample before locking, shimming and data acquisition. 

NMR spectrometers are perhaps most commonly used to generate qualitative data – you know – determine relative integrations, elucidate a structure, or even just assess a
