Why does my amide N-H peak show as a sharp doublet?
« on: April 19, 2022, 11:04:54 AM »
Here is an NMR of the shown molecule. The peak on the very left at 7.42 is the N-H peak in the amide bond.
Can someone explain why this appears so sharply and well defined also why is it a doublet?
Thank you!

Do you have a vicinal hydrogen atom?

As of peak sharpness - I heard it is correlated with the rate of H at N-H exchange. As of doublet - adjacent H atom splits the signal into two.
