NMR coupling occurs between equivalent protons, but regular NMR spectra are not sensitive to this coupling, because under the conditions of the experiment, spin transitions that would reveal it are forbidden by symmetry, and the signal appears as a singlet.That's also why CH2 and CH3 groups typically appear as singlets, even though geminal H-C-H coupling constant is quite large, 14-18 Hz.All 8 protons in 1,4-dioxane have the same chemical shift, and thus show up as one singlet at 3.692 in CDCl3 or 3.757 in D2O.

[KPWU blog] add protons (hydrogens) to structure
add protons (hydrogens) to structure
A list of online servers or programs as I know which can add hydrogens on the structures (most likely determined by X-ray crystallography). WHATIF server (http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/servers/html/index.html) –> check “Hydrogen (bonds)” in the left frame Molprobity server (http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/) –> after uploading a PDB file, you will see “add hydrogen” in the online interface.

Chemical shift of protons?
Can someone give me the answers to the chemical shift of the protons in this compound: CH3CH2OCH2CH(CH3)COOH? Of if you can explain how to get the chemical shift it would be quite helpful as the info online does not really help me.

NMR of Naphthalene: why are the alpha-protons more downfield than the beta- protons?
Hi, can you please help me explain why the alpha-protons of naphthalene are further downfield? I know that the protons at the alpha position must be more deshielded, but I don't know how to explain why they have less electron density compared to the beta protons. Does this have to do with the number of double bonds that can be drawn in different resonance structures? Thanks for your help!Thanks so much!
