I've started practicing reading NMR again after having not done so for years, and I'm getting caught up on what must be a very simple question. For the 1H spectrum of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, why do two of the aromatic protons exhibit identical chemical shifts (6.94 ppm)? As far as I can tell, their environments should not be equivalent. Values from the spectra may be found here: http://www.sciencesoft.net/C8H8O2/
Thanks in advance.
