NMR 14

77 ppm is a value worth remembering, since CDCl₃ is a common solvent. It also has a distinctive pattern of three small equal peaks, and is sometime used as a reference instead of TMS.

While the peaks are in the order we would expect from induction effects, this pattern is not always the case:

The relative shielding of a gamma carbon - relative to an electronegative functional group, is apparently a common pattern in carbon NMR. I haven't yet learnt an explanation for it.
