ortho v. meta v. para NMR for fluorotoluene

Dan Mason  Follow
Fluorotoluene isomers have published spectra you can track down. SDBS might also be a good resource.

Generically though, it can be more difficult to determine ortho vs meta in a "new" molecule. Often you have to carefully parse the peaks and determine J values, use 2D NMR, and just generally try harder.

para vs others: think about the symmetry in the molecule and should be fairly obvious

ortho vs meta: the splitting patter in 1H is going to be quite different.

I understand that the c13 NMR would have a different number of peaks between the para and ortho/meta compounds, but how would one distinguish the ortho/meta compounds using either c13 or 1h NMR?
One good resource for general NMR information is CHM 605 at the University of Wisconsin, Department of Chemistry.

If you have an IR, the aromatic overtones just under 2000 cm-1 can distinguish o-m-p
