  • Reaction: Structure Elucidation Workflow (IHD → IR → NMR → MS)
  • What it does: A repeatable workflow to solve structure problems: compute IHD, identify key IR functional groups, assign NMR fragments (shift/integration/splitting),…
  • Typical reagents: IR + 1H/13C NMR + MS (analysis workflow)
  • Key intermediate: Varies / context-dependent
  • Driving force: Formation of more stable bonds / products
  • Exam type: Interpret data
  • Exam type: Identify functional groups
  • Exam type: Structure constraints
