The CH 2 protons in propanamide(Fig. 7) are deshielded by the adjacent
carbonyl group and couple with the CH 3 protons to give an A 2 X 3 quartet and
triplet. The resonance of the amine protons at 6.4 d/ppm is broadened by
proton-proton exchange and could be removed by shaking with D 2 O. The inte-
gral ratios are 2:2:3.266 Section E – Spectrometric techniques
