A Quick and Easy Simplification of Benzocaine's NMR Spectrum
Suzanne R. Carpenter and Richard H. Wallace
Department of Chemistry and Physics, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA 31419

Vol. 83 No. 4
p. 637
Abstract
The preparation of benzocaine is a common experiment used in sophomore-level organic chemistry. Its straightforward procedure and predictable good yields make it ideal for the beginning organic student. Analysis of the product via NMR spectroscopy, however, can be confusing to the novice interpreter. An inexpensive, quick, and effective method for simplifying the NMR spectrum is reported. The method results in a spectrum that is cleanly integrated and more easily interpreted.
