Chapter 12C.1, Problem 1P

The ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ NMR spectrum of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ recorded on a $\text{500 MHz}$ NMR spectrometer consists of

two signals, one due to the ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ protons at $17\text{15 Hz}$ and one due to the $\text{OH}$ proton at

$1830\text{ Hz}$, both measured downfield from TMS. (a) Calculate the chemical shift of each

absorption. (b) Do the ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ protons absorb upfield or downfield from the $\text{OH}$ proton?
