H-NMR Multiplicity of aldehyde hydrogen on 3-fluorobenzaldehyde

So I would suspect the aldehyde hydrogen on 3-fluorobenzaldehyde to be a singlet right? The adjacent carbon has no hydrogens attached. But the ChemAxon chemicalize calculator says that would be a triplet:




Why? Is this something to do with the conjugated system?

Yes, you can sometimes get what is called "W-coupling".



Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

Awesome, thank you!

The multiplicity is a result of long distance coupling with the fluorine atom. H-F couplings occur through several bonds. Any good NMR text will give you an explanation with examples.

No, because it's a triplet. If it was coupling to the F, it would be a doublet.

W coupling would be 4J, in this example it is 5J. So no W coupling. Also in reality it is a doublet, see attachment, so I second avbaeyer. Source:Sigma aldrich
