I'm currently a college student taking Organic Chem and I've no idea how to figure out the J-coupling for H-NMR and neither my professor/TA's/book are being helpful. Does one apply the n+1 rule first to figure the number of peaks and then apply the various couplings to each peak?
I understand that if a single H has two non-equivalent neighboring protons, you'd get a doublet of doublets instead of a triplet. But say, for example, how would I figure out the signal for the hydrogens attached to the terminal C of the double bond in 1-pentene ( the first carbon in, CH2=CHCH2CH2CH3)?
Thank you very much for your time.

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Virtual Coupling
Virtual Coupling
When the chemical shift difference between two J coupled nuclei is of the same order as the coupling constant, second order spectra are obtained. See this and this. One, often unrecognized, second order effect is virtual coupling which is often misinterpreted as first order weak coupling. In a three-spin system, virtual coupling occurs when the observed nucleus appears to be coupled to both of the other two nuclei even though it is only coupled to one of them. This arises in AA'X and ABX spin systems when X (the observed nucleus) is coupled to only one of the other two...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] How can I calculate a carbon-proton coupling constant for a molecule?
How can I calculate a carbon-proton coupling constant for a molecule?
I'm trying to explain a missing HMBC peak, and having a coupling constant less than 10 Hz would do that nicely. It's a formamidine derivative with a 3 bond correlation N=CHNC The C is a quaternary carbon in a benzene ring. Any help would be appreciated.
