Why does swapping a methyl group for a methoxy group cause such a big NMR shift? At 125 MHz benchtop NMR, benzylic protons appear upfield, while the methoxy group resonates downfield. What’s driving this difference? Follow @qmagnetics.bsky.social for more spectra to come!🧪 #NMRchat #Chemsky

At 125 MHz, benchtop NMR shows how the chiral center in (4S)-4-(propan-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one induces nonequivalence in nearby protons, producing diastereotopic splitting. As an Evans-type chiral auxiliary, it directs enolate geometry in asymmetric synthesis.🧪 #NMRchat #Flowchemistry #Chemistry

I tried Vineeth’s PyOR NMR package by making these sims of COSY and P.COSY with SHR and TPPI processing. You can see how TPPI moves T1 noise to the edge of the spectrum and how P.COSY narrows diagonal peaks. PyOR is instructive and easy to use. Check it out! #Chemsky #NMR @vthalakottoor.bsky.social
