Introduction

NMR spectroscopic methods for structural elucidation in organic chemistry are

reviewed. Detailed procedures and recommended experimental parameters are
provided for commonly encountered scenarios.It is a non-destructive and
non-invasive techniques that provide direct relationship between the measured spectra
and chemical structure.This is the primary standard and routine method for molecular
structure characterization.The capability of NMR for quantitation (qNMR) is to
simultaneously detect a large number of compounds is a complex mixture without
separation. It is suitable to be used in the analysis of natural products including
food,fruit juices and alcoholic beverages.The principle of nuclear magnetic resonance
is based on the spins of atomic nuclei.The magnetic measurements depend upon the
spin of unpaired electron whereas nuclear magnetic resonance measures magnetic
effect caused by the spin of protons and neutrons.Both nucleons have intrinsic angular
spins which act as elementary magnet.The existence of nuclear magnetism is revealed
in the hyper fine structure of spectral lines.If the nucleus with a certain magnetic
moment is placed in the magnetic field,we can observe the phenomenon of space
quantization where the direction will be slightly different energy level.
