Study Guide

Proton NMR Prediction Tool

Predict 1H NMR chemical shifts, splitting patterns, integrations, and proton environments from structure input. Use this reference guide to understand chemical shift ranges, common environments, and the evidence students combine before assigning an NMR spectrum.

Use the Shift Ranges First

Until the predictor launches, compare the table below with your spectrum and combine chemical shift, integration, splitting, and molecular formula.

What the 1H NMR predictor will show

The live tool will estimate proton environments, chemical shift ranges, integration, multiplicity, neighboring proton counts, and likely assignment notes.

Reference Scope

The reference material focuses on compound name, formula, SMILES, solvent, instrument frequency, and NMR type because those details affect chemical shift interpretation.

Common Proton NMR Shift Ranges

EnvironmentTypical RangeNotes
Alkyl H0.8-2.0 ppmOften multiplets near sp3 carbons
Allylic / benzylic H1.7-3.0 ppmShifted by pi systems
H next to heteroatom3.0-4.5 ppmO, N, halogen deshielding
Alkene H4.5-6.5 ppmsp2 proton region
Aromatic H6.0-8.5 ppmbenzene-ring environments
Aldehyde H9.0-10.5 ppmdistinct downfield singlet/doublet

How Proton NMR Prediction Will Work

The planned workflow is simple: enter a compound name, formula, or SMILES string, choose the NMR experiment settings, and receive an annotated prediction. The final tool will include likely peaks, environment labels, and explanations that help students connect spectra to structure.

Until the live prediction model is released, use the reference ranges above to estimate where common organic environments appear. Real spectra may shift with solvent, concentration, hydrogen bonding, conjugation, stereochemistry, and instrument conditions.
