Due to its simplicity, a magnitude mode 2D J -resolved experiment 64 was selected and the developed signal suppression technique was implemented. To get Hz, just multiply these values by the field strength in mHz. J-resolved spectra have been used in the analysis of complex mixtures 62, 63 due to their ability to resolve overlapping multiplets and expose the existence of very small coupling constants. In the present study, a rapid, accurate, and precise method was developed for the simultaneous quantitation of four characteristic components, namely. Quantitative determination of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids is critical for controlling its quality. Suppose we have one peak at 4.260 ppm and another at 4.247 ppm. Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis, known as Gou-Teng in Chinese, is derived mainly from the dried hook-bearing stems of Uncaria rhynchophylla. The first thing to do is convert the peaks from ppm into Hz. The trick is that J is measured in Hz, not ppm. More complex methods (HSQC, HMBC, DOSY) would also be of great help, but are probably beyond your needs for a second year lab course. Here is how you calculate a coupling constant J: For the simple case of a doublet, the coupling constant is the difference between two peaks. A simple COSY would allow you to see which peaks correspond to which peaks (thus allowing you to see which peaks aren't aspirin). The easiest thing for you to do is probably to purify the sample, for instance by running some chromatography, or perhaps re-crystallising the aspirin, which would hopefully leave your impurity behind, which you could then analyse.įailing this, and if you have access/inclination, some 2D NMR experiments would be useful to you. That is, the peaks for aspirin in both the pure sample, and the contaminated one, must be perfectly aligned (same peak shapes, intensity, shift etc), which is practically different due to slight differences during each acquisition. For two spectra (more accurately, for two FIDs) to be subtracted, they must be IDENTICAL.

The method you describe of 'subtracting' two NMR spectra, whilst possible, is not however very good in practice.

You should check with the NMR service in your department as to what software they have licenses for.

The software that comes with the instrument (Topspin for a Bruker machine,but Varian has a similar product made by them) will certainly be able to do this, as can third party software such as MestreNova or the free ACD/NMR.
