Simple Reaction Chemistry
Presented here are several simple reactions monitored by 60 MHz process NMR performed in a 5 mm NMR tube.
Reaction #1: Acetic Anhydride in Water – Reacts to form Acetic Acid


Reaction #2: Acetic Anhydride + Excess of Methanol + Acid
– Yields Acetic Acid and Acetic Methyl Ester
First Reaction was Performed without Shaking the Sample before Observation



Second Reaction was Performed with a vigorous shake of the NMR tube before observation.
