Second-order NMR splitting


Can anyone identify this pattern? It showed up in the spectrum of a side product of one of my reactions, and I haven't seen anything like it before. (The spectrum was taken in CDCl3 at 400 MHz).


Edit: These peaks are almost certainly from 2 different compounds.

I was expecting a doublet of a doublet... but this.. Wow!!
H MNR I guess, yes?

Is there any F, P or some other NMR active element in your sample? (apart from H, but that can couple to H)




there may be bugs in gfind

No, it's just H, C, O, and S. I'm starting to think that it might just be two unrelated pairs of doublets from an impure sample.

Yes, it's definitely at least 2 compounds. Originally, it was 1 peak on the MPLC, but I changed to a better eluent, and it came off as 2.
